This online
course is a comprehensive educational program meticulously designed to provide learners
with an in-depth understanding of marketing strategies unique to the luxury
industry. Unlike conventional marketing, luxury brand marketing operates in a
niche environment where exclusivity, heritage, emotion, and aspiration play
pivotal roles. This course equips students with the theoretical knowledge and
practical tools needed to navigate and thrive in this distinct market segment.
Throughout
the course, learners will explore the foundations of luxury brand marketing, beginning
with a deep dive into consumer behaviour—understanding what drives affluent customers
and how emotional and psychological factors influence their purchasing
decisions. Students will learn how to position luxury brands effectively by
analyzing identity, storytelling, and brand heritage, ensuring that a
brand's essence resonates with its target audience.
Key modules
will address market segmentation strategies that go beyond demographics,
focusing on psychographic and behavioural elements. Pricing strategies tailored
for luxury brands—such as prestige pricing, value perception, and pricing
elasticity—will be explored to help students understand how to maintain
exclusivity while achieving profitability.
The course
also covers the importance of curated and controlled distribution channels,
such as selective retailing and flagship stores, to maintain brand image and
customer experience. Students will gain insights into experiential marketing,
influencer collaborations, and digital strategies that maintain brand prestige
while adapting to modern platforms.
In addition,
the program emphasizes global trends in the luxury sector, sustainable luxury practices,
and case studies from iconic brands like Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Rolex, and
Hermès. Interactive assignments, real-world projects, and expert-led video
lessons ensure that students apply what they learn to real-life scenarios.
By the end
of this course, students will be equipped with the strategic mindset and
marketing acumen required to craft, manage, and grow luxury brands. Whether
aspiring to work with top- tier fashion houses, premium automotive companies,
or luxury hospitality brands, learners will gain a solid foundation and a
competitive edge in the luxury marketing landscape.

With more than 28 years of experience in the

experience in middle and senior management roles has equipped me with critical managerial
