Luxury Marketing Advice

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.

Iconic cruise ship Queen Elizabeth 2 will be upgraded into a luxury floating hotel with 500 rooms

Iconic cruise ship Queen Elizabeth 2 will be upgraded into a luxury floating hotel with 500 rooms and will be moored in an Asian harbor, its Dubai owners said in a statement on Thursday. The ship “will be moved today (Thursday) to Drydocks World Dubai for undertaking classification checks prior to her renovation as a luxury floating hotel,” said the statement by Drydocks World, a maritime holding company belonging to the Dubai government.

QE2 will be converted into “a five-star hotel with 500 rooms managed by a prestigious international hotel as an operator” in partnership with the Oceanic Group, which has operations in China, Hong Kong and Singapore.

The refurbished QE2 will also include a shopping mall, restaurants and an onboard maritime museum, the statement said, without specify where the ship would be based in Asia.
Dubai’s QE2 to float as luxury hotel in Asia
Dubai World bought the QE2 for about 50 million pounds (81 million dollars) from U.S. cruise operator Cunard in 2007, when the economy of Dubai and the rest of the United Arab Emirates was growing at a breakneck speed before the global financial crisis.
Launched by her British namesake in September 1967, the QE2 was Cunard’s longest-serving ship. The 963-feet- (294-metre) craft can carry up to 1,778 passengers and more than 1,000 crew.
