Summary

Hybrid Event

Luxury has always been a sector driven by a heady blend of lust and design. Somehow in the chat about digital v stores v clienteling we have lost sight of this key word - DESIRE.

All of the conversations we have about the sector embracing new channels and customers were put on hold for the evening in January as we debated a single point of discussion:

How do luxury brands create desire in 2022?

You all know our Luxury dinner is an annual event, this year we asked you to put the customer at the centre of our evening - and to talk about how they covet, lust after and love the items they buy.

  • Product storytelling - no matter which channel how do we improve it?
  • Customer obsession - Should luxury focus on the product or the customer to build desire?
  • Quantifying desire - How do you measure how much love you are generating?
