Luxury brands can be kind of complicated. The market for luxury goods is a way different from those markets that are more accessible to everyone.
You see, not everyone can afford a watch made out of gold with little diamonds on it, but a lot of people can afford a pair of sneakers from Adidas or Nike. Not everyone can afford ice cream coated in edible gold, but a lot of people can buy ice cream from McDonald’s.
That’s the very reason why companies selling these types of products require a rather different approach to branding and marketing, as mentioned over here. Since they are targetting different types of potential customers, they need to catch their attention.
You see, the main reason why someone buys something is pretty much because they want it, they need it, and they can afford it. It’s different when it comes to regular buyers of luxury goods.
They usually purchase such products to experience rare things, to own something of value that could be considered as uncommon (pretty common among collectors), and to show that they can indeed afford expensive stuff.
These companies should use this factor to their advantage and become a brand that is both interesting and attractive to those who have the money to spend it on their services and products.
And believe it or not, a great brand name can work wonders to achieve this goal. In the world of marketing and branding, having a great name can help people relate products to a company, and create a sense of trust, as claimed on this website: https://www.businessinsider.com/great-company-names-2018-5#1-all-the-best-company-names-are-memorable-or-sticky-1.
We can take for Apple as an example. Everyone knows that Apple creates great electronic devices since it has gained the trust of people by keeping and improving the quality of its products.
That’s what a luxury company should strive for: create a brand that resonates within the people who consume their products. To be a topic of conversation between those wanting to try or buy something interesting and expensive.
A good brand name should be short and have a meaning. For example, a great name for a jewelry store that focuses on gold can be named after Golden Apple, like the mysterious apple that is mentioned in several fairy tales.
Thankfully, some professionals and services can help you come up with a great name. Before contacting a professional or using a service to help you create a name for your company, you should always have something in mind. That way, you’ll have something to start with. Of course, some websites can help you gather more ideas.
Of course, there are other important things to consider. You see, branding is something important that any ambitious company or business should do, but there are other things to do as well which are as important.
Branding is something that focuses on creating a personality. With it, your business will be able to create an image based on its strength and what it thrives to achieve. By creating an image, be it by using a logo, slogan, symbol, or person, it will far easier to remember and associate with your products and services.
This image will help you greatly when it comes to building trust between your customers, and even potential customers. It also increases the amount of interest you can create through marketing.
That’s why it is so important to hire someone capable to create a logo for your company because people associate things faster when they have an image in their mind. That’s why people think of the big M of McDonald’s, and kids get excited when they see it during a ride home.
For that reason, logo designers have a list of questions they ask their customers beforehand, and I recommend you study these questions and create answers to them, so the designer you decide to hire have it far easier during the whole process.
Marketing is also an important part of the process. Although branding is what creates a personality out of your products, services, and strengths, it is marketing that gets the message delivered to potential customers.
Without marketing, no one will ever get to know what you are selling. With that said, the marketing process of a luxury brand is far different from your regular business.
You see, marketing for regular companies is all about showcasing how good a product is, whereas luxury brands strive to show the level of status, quality, complexity, and exclusiveness of the said product.
That is why the marketing campaigns of luxury goods tend to be more sophisticated. They want to showcase how unique and special their products are, so to speak. These campaigns also need to do something very specific: pick the interest of wealthy people.
Usually, you can hire professionals to take care of these marketing campaigns, but you can also learn to do it by yourself. Here’s a great guide to understanding how marketing for luxury brands work https://www.forbes.com/sites/shamahyder/2017/03/13/luxury-brands-4-secrets-to-marketing-in-the-digital-age/#51083ce962ca if you are interested.
Of course, having a great name for your brand will definitely make things easier for both the branding and marketing process, so make sure to take your time, do your research, a have some sort of goal before deciding for one!
