Luxury Marketing Advice

  • "If a luxury brand asks whether they should spend scarce funds on opening another store, launching a print advertising campaign, or investing in a great website and online advertising, the Internet wins every time as the fastest, cheapest, and most effective way to leverage a luxury brand in today's global marketplace". CEO Milton Pedraza, The Oct issue Wealth Report by the Luxury Index

About the Luxury Channel

  • The Luxury Channel video podcasts offers sponsors a sophisticated web media reach for elite brands to reach a wealthy demographic world wide by a respected luxury expert. This allows these brands to benefit from the most powerful and fastest growing media source, the web. Americans use the internet to shop twice as much as the average individual. People spend more time on the web then in front of the TV. A recent study done by The Luxury Institute found that Luxury consumers were disappointed in the weakness of luxury brands to meet their on line needs. Luxury brands were slow to enter fearing affiliation with the mass marketers and an inability to supply “the luxury experience”. The purpose of The Luxury Channel is to bring a luxury venue to the web where elite brands can have an appropriate environment to share their product knowledge and services in a sophisticated global reach. By all the brands sharing one venue it saves companies millions of dollars by having to establish their own channel from scratch and creating and producing content and paying to market their channel against all the other thousands of luxury brand’s channels. Any commercial agency can create a product video for a company, but with The Luxury Guru you get the video and a way to distribute it internationally.

Bugatti Veyron’s transmission costs more than two Porsche Boxters

 


I very much doubt Bugatti’s luxury status will ever be questioned; it is the very incarnation of grandeur. Bugatti’s Veyron represents luxury but more importantly it represents a level of speed and power that is truly unmatched. Originally Bugatti had ordered the 7-speed dual clutch gearbox till 2013, however it was announced that the contract would extend through 2014. The cost of this transmission is $120,000, which would allow you to buy two Porsche Boxters, however both those Porsche Boxsters combined will not match the speed that this incredible transmission provides.

 

 



This transmission unique to the Veyron can go from 0 to 60 in 1.8 seconds; I think that’s the closest I will ever get to the speed of light. The transmission can handle a full 1,200 horsepower and has a shift time of less than 150 milliseconds. This transmission is most definitely not for the faint hearted.

If your travels ever take you to Molsheim, France please take a tour of the Bugatti factory and maybe even a ride inside of a Bugatti on their test track. Traveling at over 200 mph will give you a sure thrill!
