PROMOTION OF LUXURY BRANDS
Celebrity endorsement for luxury brands is one of the best way to promote.
Brand association with regional movies has been going on for some time, but what has changed is the entry of up market products in tune with the increasing aspirations and purchasing power in regional markets. Ex. adidas &reebok
Brand experts say that regional movies give them a much better reach to the target audience as the market is clearly identified.
Promotions through magazines ,hoarings ,sponsorships are the other ways to promote the brands.
ISSUES AND CHALLENGES
Luxury is not just about selling an emotion but also
delivering an experience Therefore, getting the right
space is critical.
Biggest issue is the lack of proper infrastructure
The government policies also don't support luxe retail.
Bureaucracy and high market-regulation are another
bother.
India imposes 45-65 percent taxes on luxury goods
unlike China's 20 percent.
CONCLUSION
