Introduction to the Luxury Industry
Increased prices do not mean increasing luxury-only the increase in prices means. So people feel a little cheated at the moment. This statement highlights the current state of the luxury industry, where customers are starting to feel that the rise in prices is not necessarily reflected in the quality or value of the products they are buying.
The Need for Change
The subjects in the eyes included "cautious" creative appointments, "autocratic" management positions, disregard for the value of the sales employee and an excessive dependence on analysts on the disadvantage of brand identity. These issues need to be addressed in order to restore the true meaning of luxury and provide customers with the value they are paying for.
