The emergence of social media has transformed consumer relations with the brands. Luxury brands with their exclusivity and mystery surrounding them have an unusual challenge: how to engage people via social media without losing their luxurious image.
Luxury branding is based on exclusivity. It gives a feeling of exclusivity, quality and an elite customer base. By its definition, social media is democratic and encourages free communication. Such a paradox places luxury brands in an exposed situation.
Exclusivity:
- Cultivates a high-quality image, high-end content, and design.
- Provides exclusivity: early releases of products, special events, or content that is available to members and lets the customer believe they belong to a special club.
Engagement:
- Makes the brand more human by providing peek-behind-the-scenes views of design, tales of artisans or employee spotlights.
- Communifies: Customers can be brand ambassadors by promoting community participation by engaging with user-created content via contests or hashtags.
- Fosters talks with polls, question and answer, or live stream.
What is the compromise between exclusivity and engagement of luxury brands?
King (and Queen): The visuals of high-quality and demonstrating the craftsmanship and heritage. Play with gorgeous photographs, video tours or even a peep show of the design process. Include lifestyle material that mirrors the brand values like suggested traveling destinations in case of a luggage company.
Beauty of Storytelling: Demonstrate the history of the brand, design inspiration, and people who make the products. These are moving narratives, which appeal to the sensitive clientele.
The Strength of Partnership: Find influences who think like you. Micro-influencers may easily access a specific audience in a natural way due to their loyal following.
Omnichannel Experience: Deliver a consistent touchpoint travel. The social posts may be connected to the site to explore further, or to the events within the store to be personal.
Data-Driven Decisions: Measure the performance and review the engagement metrics and improve your strategy based on the analysis.
Curate Branded Content: Share customer videos or photos to gain social credibility and authenticity.
Make the Experience Personal: Personalization has the potential to increase the engagement by 80%. Get specific advertisements or exclusive first-order or behind-the-scenes access to have a personalized experience.
These metrics of vanity are likes and follows. Social media allows you to have long-lasting relations.
- Excellent Customer Service: Reply timely and courteously to questions and demonstrate that you appreciate customers.
- Loyalty programs: Reward or access to early access to followers who are loyal so that they can create community.
- Humanize the Brand: Make your brand relatable by adding humour, wit and lightness.
- Burberry: Fashion shows, behind-the-scenes, and exclusive content are performed with the help of Instagram Stories.
- Gucci: Plays on the unpredictable visuals and collaborates with young artists to have an unusual and interactive experience.
- Cartier: Shares behind stories of its jewelry making and craftsmanship.
