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.

VW's Audi Buys Ducati for US$1.12 Billion

Vws Audi Buys Ducati For Us112 Billion

2011 Ducati Streetfighter S 3

Germany auto giant Audi, owned by Volkswagen, said on Wednesday it is in talks to buy over Ducati, the Italian maker of some of the most sought after exotic high-speed motorcycles in the industry.

"The deal will be completed as soon as possible after it is cleared by the authorities," Audi said in a statement. Various press reports have pegged the buying price at around 860 million euros (US$1.12 Billion).

The deal will see Volkswagen gaining entry into the top-end motorcycle market—head-to-head with its auto rival, BMW.

Ducati, established in Bolgna, northern Italy in 1926, is famous for its high-speed road and racing bikes, of which it sold 42,000 last year worth 480 million euros. Investindustrial, an investment fund, has controlled the company since 2006 with a 70 per cent stake.
