Predictive Value of the LCI -- Unity Marketing's Luxury Tracking Study and Its Power in Predicting Trends in the Luxury Market

Understanding the mindset of the luxury consumer gives luxury marketers a view 'over-the-horizon' to predict trends in the luxury market.

This white paper explains Unity Marketing's Luxury Tracking study and how luxury marketers can use it to alert them to trends and changes in the purchasing behavior of their affluent customers. Further it explores the predictive power of the Luxury Consumption Index as it relates to luxury consumer spending trends and the values of global luxury stocks.

Luxury Recession:  The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

Everybody is asking:  What's the 'new normal' in the luxury market after the recession?  My answer is simple:  The new normal won't be anything like the old normal.  Thanks to the recession affluent consumers are taking time out from their profligate, overspending ways to reassess, reevaluate and reprioritize their lives.  Affluent shoppers are starting to ask questions about the luxury brands they once patronized and those brands often come up short with compelling and meaningful answers to why they should buy.    The new normal in the luxury market is going to be all about delivering new values to the luxury shoppers who control the purse strings -- and the fortunes -- of every luxury brand today.
