From perfume to private jets - The world’s top ‘Luxury Guru’, Lorre White,
tells Matthew Fairhurst exactly what it takes to reach true luxury

 

T hese days, the term ‘luxury’ is
banded around by almost every
sector of marketing. It seems like
each budding seller, from brand
marketers to shop floor retailers, uses the
buzzword ‘luxury’ to enhance the relevance of
their product in an effort to convince eager
customers that they are getting the very best.
Indeed, in the mass market, of whom this
strategy is truly focused, ‘luxury’ is almost
entirely synonymous with the equally beguiling
term ‘sale’. Although the L word has proved a
great selling tool when aiming at those wanting
a more affordable route to the high life, in the
real world of luxury, the word ‘sale’ simply does
not exist.
Promotional sales - even of respected brands
- tweak at the aspirations of those wanting to
sneak into the masquerade ball of real luxury.
But ultra-high-net-worth-individuals (with
a minimum of £20 million in liquid assets),
expecting a true luxury brand, will fervently
expect to pay the price of admission.
There is a flip side however, as 80% of the
world’s uber-rich have risen to prominence
in the last decade, due to the mass market’s
dilution of the bona fide luxury sector, and the
resulting confusion around what ‘luxury’ really
means; respected brands need to uphold their
standards to make sure they continue to target
the right customers.
Especially in the current economical climate,
even the most prestigious brands can fall into
the trap of cheapening their name in search
of a fast pay out. For international brands,
the hundreds of thousands saved, can later
mean hundreds of millions lost in previously
established brand image. Such a misdemeanour
can happen in one fell marketing swoop and the
consequences can irrevocably shatter a company.
Rescuing the real luxury sector from the mass
marketing abyss is something which the aptly
named Luxury Guru, Lorre White has worked
on for two decades. As CEO for White Light
Consulting, her expertise have lead to her being
known across the world as a luxury expert on
CNN.MONEY, ABC, NBC, FOX National,
Sirius Radio and various other magazines,
alongside running The Luxury Channel video
podcasts on iTunes and Zune.
In discussing her work, Lorre states, “My
unique niche it reaching the world’s wealthiest
demographic. I am a luxury marketing
consultant and my clients are luxury brands that
have products and services to sell that require a
certain level of wealth to purchase them, things
like $60 million yacht, or $120 million private
jet. In my consulting work it is not the end
user [buyer] that I am working with; it is the
companies that need to know how to reach and
maintain this small and difficult demographic.”
With past credentials including top marketing
jobs with some of the most prestigious privateaviation companies, Lorre appears regularly on
American TV, giving insight into the very best
products available from perfume to private jets.
Over in the UK however, we can struggle
to find direct access to the real luxury market
through our TV sets or online blogs. Maybe it’s
the recession, but most small screen shopping
guides focus on saving every penny rather than
showcasing absolute luxury. But White insists
that even in this time of economical unrest, the
luxury market continues to boom, as her followers
gravitate around more online formats in favour of
the regional limitations posed by TV.
“There are two types of Luxury Consumers:
The aspirational and the UHNW [ultrahigh-
net-worth], or as I call them, ‘the already
arrived’. The fashion industry depends on the
first category for up to 80% of their sales. This
is why the fashion industry was hit so much
harder in the global recession than the private
jet companies which have exclusively clients
and so they are not as affected by the slowdown
in the economy. The truly rich can lose half of
their net worth and still be rich. If you’re worth
a billion and you lose half of it, you’re still not
skipping any meals or pulling your kids out of
school to help support the family.”
Once money is taken out of the equation, the
real luxury to the UHNW individual is their
precious time. As any successful business figure
would agree, a hectic work schedule can mean
there simply is no time to keep up to date and
Lorre’s TV work alongside her regularly updated
website (www.LuxGuru.Typepad.com) allow
her cash rich/time poor followers to easily access
the world of ultimate luxury.
Although her insightful media ventures can
guide the new money ultra rich in to how to spend
their fortune, her work with some of the world’s
top brands has helped them maintain their quality
instead of creating more affordable products to
appeal to the top end of the mass market.
“In the luxury world, you will never be higher
on the scale than when you launch. It takes
much more money up front to reach this group.
It is not like a mass market where you can tweak
things and improve them along the way. You
cannot launch mid level and put more money
into it later when the business gets rolling and
climb into a luxury status.”
One example which Lorre reflects upon is
that of American leather goods artisans, Coach,
and their desire to tap into the same market as
iconic French fashion house, Louis Vuitton.
After investing in a select design team and a
whole new production line, Coach, which was
previously known for selling quality women’s
purses for around $200, attempted to create a
luxury range with a $3,000 price tag. Needless
to say, the venture failed, as White says, “For
someone skilled in luxury marketing, the
reason is obvious. What woman is going to
spend $3,000 on a purse that when anyone
looks at it, they see a $200 purse because of the
brand’s image? Coach sells frequently in outlet
stores, so their products are often available at
sale prices. You will not find any sale on LV
purses. True luxury brands, managed by skilled
class marketers, know that you never put your
products on sale.”
Adamantly sticking to her marketing
strategies, Lorre is a proud believer that in true
elite luxury branding, it is more important to
have a Chief Marketing Office rather than a
Chief Financial Officer.Interestingly, in perfecting a brand, she
sees the importance of the right marketing
psychology, “Many self proclaimed luxury
sites give hotel and travel and product
recommendations, but the person doing the
evaluation does not understand the higher
expectations of this group. Unless they have
been trained, they are probably bringing their
aspirational perspective to the evaluation.
What may seem incredible to them may be a
disappointment to a group that is accustomed
to more.”
Certainly it is the person making the
recommendations who really is paramount
when guiding sales and Lorre White has not
only found real luxury, but has also harnessed
the knowledge of how to maintain it. With
such an unequalled reputation, as her esteemed
UHNW clients will know, when shopping for
real luxury, if you haven’t heard of Lorre White,
then you’re just browsing.

[Quote] "I help people to find greater joy in the understanding of the different art forms, all under the umbrella of luxury. May it become a unifying topic....not a divisive one. May beauty in all its many forms, (from poetry, painting, yachts, and fashion to champagne) be appreciated by all. Luxury is the very best of any art form. May all in the world have achieved the comfort of survival ....so that our minds can dance with the opportunities of possibilities. Luxuries are the best of the creation of man. The one thing that mankind shares with God that no other beast does...is the desire to create. Luxury is the best of man's creation....so let it be the unification of mankind."

What is your idea of Beautiful?
There are beautiful tastes, beautiful sounds, beautiful sights, and beautiful feelings.  Beauty is just the measure of enjoyment.  Beauty comes in many forms.  As "The Luxury Guru", sharing the beauty of luxuries is what I do.

Who is the most Beautiful person you know?
Since beauty measures so many of the senses....there would be different people to fill each category.  You would not even know the names I would give.

Learning to see the beauty in myself and by doing so, focusing on that which is beautiful in others.

Social networking on line clubs - What is WHITE HOT in the Luxury Market by “the Luxury Guru Lorre White”

SQUA.RE, eVelvet Rope, IN, Nico’s world, Diane Fay, Diamond Lounge, A Cool World, 740 Park, A Small World, Linked In, Hamptons Under Cover, Decayenne, Black Diamond, Plaxo, Pulse, Qube, LStyle It may sound like a list of old album covers but actually it is a new media source put to work. They are just a few of the more popular on line social networking clubs. There has been a mass entry of new on line communities.

People spend more time on the web then in front of the TV and these clubs, which are free to members, hope to capture the advertiser’s eye. 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. The truth is that the mass retailers were much earlier to enter the web media and have a much more sophisticated platform now than the luxury brands. The Premium brands turned up their noses initially and their arrogance cost them dearly. They were slow to the high tech world of on line media….but the highly educated, high net worth individuals are insisting that luxury adapt to their needs. The Luxury Report showed that the majority of the Ultra High Net worth (minimum of 30 million liquid assets) individuals preferred to do their shopping on line. The elite brands now must fight to claim their territory on the web. These private social clubs are hoping that they offer the advertisers the perfect media entre.

The plethora of new exclusive social networking clubs is competing for unique features to meet the demands of their audience. Several of the most elite social clubs air video podcast (on demand viewing on your computer) from THE LUXURY CHANNEL on iTunes & Zune. The video podcasts are small web TV shows that you watch on your computer or down load to a cell phone or iPod. iTunes is enormous and offers the largest market as it is truly world wide. Zune directory was founded this year as a joint venture between Microsoft and Adobe. Experts believe it will take 10 years for it to be as big as iTunes.

The grand daddy of the successful social networking clubs was A Small World, referred to as ASW, which was started in Europe with the time appropriate fact that the world has become a small place and people of a certain financial and social prestige are doing business with each other around the globe. As one climbs the pyramid, the degree of separation decreases. ASW created an on line social network to assist this group in connecting with other like minded people to socialize, get restaurant recommendations, travel tips, the hot local party, event information, etc. It is an invitation only club with approximately 130,000 members. The founders have stepped out of the management and so it is run by “middle management types” with no real authority or inspiration. Some members feel that it is lacking the creativity that it takes to keep it from going stale. ASW has no video, no podcasts, the staff is surly, etc. ASW did a great job initially of keeping it exclusive. I personally have been impressed when I use it traveling in Europe or the Middle East more than in the US. Many members complain about Germanic rigid structure of the rules for membership. Most find it too confining and the website itself is not “sexy” but archaic and slow.

I find that many of the individuals on my ASW network use Facebook much more on a daily basis for staying in touch with friends. The fact that so many ASWers are on Facebook means that they are not meeting their member’s needs. Facebook has the easiest format to use and the most fun and creative ways to stay in touch with friends from sending them a virtual drink, fashion accessory, poke, bumper sticker, etc. You can add video and photos and it seems to have been successful in not attracting the MySpace crowd despite the fact that anyone can join.

Several other new generation sites have grown out of ASW to fill niches that they find that ASW missed. SQUA.RE was founder by two 25 year old ASW members and they target a young urban international jet set crowd. Their format allows all members a channel to run their videos instead of a static page. It is invitation only. They are targeting the tech savvy affluent 18 to 35 year olds. My interaction with the owners was positive; they seem like a sharp hip fun group and they offer a unique format.

eVelvet Rope is an invitation only social club also founded by an ASW member. EVR is going after the young professional single and newly married that have a lot of expendable income, like to go out and eat and can travel and stay at nice hotels (But not like the ASWers that take their private jet to their own villa). They have EVRMag.com which is an on line magazine open to the public. Again my interactions with the founder were very positive. He is very professional and serious about having a great club.

Diane Fay is trying to do the same thing but is focused in Asia primarily, although the founders are Europeans. They seem to have some bugs to work out of their site. There is a fundamental flaw in a networking site that won’t allow you to connect to build a network. I spent several days attempting to grow my network but all my connections said they had never figured out how to connect either. I sent off an email to the website for help on 3 occasions and no one answered. Initially upon joining I got several nice welcome emails from the partners and senior staff telling me they want to speak with me in 2 weeks when they returned from traveling……..it has now been 5 weeks and I still have not heard back from them. I did attempt to reach out to them again 2 weeks ago. I’d have to say pleasant folks but no follow through as far as management is concerned.

Qube is new and is an off shoot of Quintessentially which is an international concierge service. This allows their members to reach out to their non members in an on line social format. It kind of works on the “friends of rich people are probably rich too” theory. It is very new and I had difficulty setting up my but was nicely assisted by their IT. I have reached out to management but not heard back and will see if and how they respond. When I clicked on one of the founders names of Quintessentially on the Qube membership network and it said he had not been on line for a year!

LinkedIN is a big networking service focused on work. They have really grown. I have to say that my first LinkedIn event I attended was in NYC at a bad art gallery where they had bags of pretzels poured out on paper plates and “pour your own” Glen Ellen jug wine. Needless to say it was also my last LinkedIN event.

Plaxo & Pulse seem to be trying to combine social and work but anyone can join so no exclusivity and it often just becomes annoying.

A Cool World runs Stealth Wealth and has different degrees of “éliteness” as you can be an Alpha or a Beta member. The membership is by approval only and I was shocked that when I joined they already had my photo and professional title. Alpha membership allows you into the exclusive 740 Park club.

LStyle is another new European club more concentrated in Scandinavian countries. There is nothing particularly unique about it. I did reach out to the owners and they seemed more confused than anything. I think it will take them a while to figure things out.

Hampton Under Cover is bran new….they haven’t even taken the bubble wrap off…too soon to tell.

You are the asset and these on line clubs are vying for. They need the demographic mix to sell advertising to the “trying to catch up” luxury brands. The web based social clubs can be a very affective tool if you use them correctly. What ever your situation there will be a club with a unique twist to make it your perfect match…..and if not, start your own!

Shoppers Turn More Often to the Internet than to Specialty Gift Stores to Buy Gifts

Shoppers Turn More Often to the Internet than to Specialty Gift Stores to Buy Gifts

A new study of the giftware market by Unity Marketing identifies key opportunities for future growth

Where people buy gifts is changing dramatically with more people saving time and money buying gifts over the Internet, rather than going to the store to shop.  This according to the latest market research study of the $65.2 billion gifts and decorative accents market conducted by Unity Marketing. 

In 2007 the Internet was the second most important shopping venue for giftware shoppers, trailing only discount department stores as a place of purchase.  For purposes of this study giftware is defined as items that are designed and manufactured to be bought and given as a gift or collectible items that are designed and manufactured specifically for the purpose of collecting.  The giftware market includes items such as occasion-specific giftware, personalized giftware, character-licensed giftware, collectible figurines, and others.

Commenting on the emergence of the Internet as the second most popular source for consumers to buy giftware, Pam Danziger, president of Unity Marketing and author of Shopping:  Why We Love It and How Retailers Can Create the Ultimate Customer Experience, says,  "The Internet came from virtually nowhere just five years ago to become the second most important channel of distribution for giftware companies.  While discount stores take the lions' share of the giftware market, consumers value the convenience and ability to comparison shop in order to find exactly what they are looking for in the online world.  This plus the ability to ship gifts conveniently to the recipient makes the Internet a favorite place for people to shop for gifts."

Specialty gift stores are losing their edge as a distribution channel for giftware manufacturers

As the way people shop for gifts has changed, the industry's traditional channel of distribution, the specialty gift store, has continued to decline in importance as a place where people shop for gifts.  In 2007 the gift specialty stores accounted for only 7 percent of the overall giftware market.  Not surprisingly, the study reports that the number of specialty gift shops have declined 21 percent in the past five years, from 75,102 stores in 2002 to 59,032 today.   

The specialty gift stores that remain have found success by expanding the product lines they carry, particularly moving into personal care, jewelry, fashion accessories, music and other related items popular to boutique shoppers.  As the industry's manufacturers become less reliant on specialty gift stores for distribution, so too are gift stores becoming less reliant upon the giftware manufacturers for new merchandise.

Drawing on the results of the study, Danziger explains, "The key for success for both manufacturers and retailers of giftware products is to stay out in front of the consumer, offering them products that are out of the ordinary, new, fresh and special.  The giftware market is a fashion business and companies are rewarded primarily for innovating and offering something new to consumers.  Successful retailers are merchandising their stores with this in mind.  When it comes to choosing giftware, nobody wants the 'same-old, me-too' items; rather they want something fresh, new and different which makes it memorable.  That is the ultimate key to success in today's giftware market."

Lorre White’s Podcast Luxury Channel was chosen to be featured by iTune’s on their Front page of their New Releases.

Lorre White’s Podcast Luxury Channel was chosen to be featured by iTune’s on their Front page of their New Releases.  This is a rare an overwhelming nod to the great success that iTunes feels Lorre’s new Luxury Channel will be.  Out of the thousands of podcasts, to be singled out is of extraordinary recognition by the world’s largest directory.
