Course Objectives/Learning Outcomes
Luxury is everywhere—in fashion, food, perfume, etc. International marketing managers regularly invent new terms to qualify their brands as luxury by advertising them as true luxury, ultra-premium, and premium, among others. It creates confusion because if everything is luxury, then the term luxury no longer has any meaning. This course is designed to clear this confusion. The purpose of the course is to introduce you to the concept of true luxury marketing and its remarkable relationship with the customers who adore luxury brands. We will examine such brands using theories, research and advertisements. Finally, we will also learn about fashion marketing in the context of luxury.
Specifically, this course is designed to understand the following topics:
luxury concept and consumer behavior - Apr 26
luxury fashion marketing - Apr 27
distribution and brand management - Apr 29
presentations and seminars - Apr 30
