    First of all, the term ‘e-marketing’ has to be defined in this context. The notation ‘electronic marketing’ “refers to the application of marketing principles and techniques via electronic media and more specifically the Internet” (Quirk.biz, 2006). There is lots of evidence that e-marketing is a very important field, if not even “at the heart of e-business” as…

    Luxury Market

    The luxury goods market may appear to many as a recession-resistant industry that generates over $1 trillion in revenue, but a closer look at the figures suggests otherwise. Luxury retailers, which were growing 9% annually a year before the recession, saw sales drop on average by more than 13 percentage points from 2007 to 2009. Meanwhile, luxury manufacturers saw their revenues decline by an average of 21 percentage points.1 The major industry brands have since overcome their tepid performances and reported strong revenue gains, defying all signs of a turbulent market in 2011. But the recession seems to be the game changer for a range of consumer behaviors that could be magnified in the coming days. And these changes could potentially redefine the business model of the successful luxury retailer over the near term. With the advent of social media, the rise of emerging markets and a refined and informed generation of millennial consumers, the meaning of luxury is blurring. It is no longer sufficient for a product to exhibit rarity. Luxury products needs to exhibit uniqueness coupled with product superiority and originality, providing value for money in today’s frugality-minded reset economy. This paper focuses on how the movement of the industry’s target segment from classes to masses is affecting the luxury market and the imperatives for retailers that wish to maintain or gain market share.…

    The recent growth in the luxury car market in India is much more than mere market dynamics in a particular car segment. It is a reflection of the changing lifestyle of the affluent class in the country. In India, the luxury car segment (Average Price 25-30 Lakh) has been growing at an average rate of 20% or above during recent years; it seems to be least affected by the global financial crisis. During worst recession period when world was facing low market demand trends, Indian luxury car segment grew at 23% to 6,671 vehicles according to the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) despite a 0.5% decline in passenger car sales, to 11.04 lakh vehicles (April-December 2008 Report). But financial year ended March 2010 has shown growth of automotive sector up by 25% to 15.26 lakh vehicles. This indicates optimistic sign of recovery of sector. While the Indian auto industry is expected to grow at 17% to 19% on an average, sales of luxury and super-luxury cars are expected to grow exponentially. Luxury car segment accounts only for 3-4% of total car sales in India. But what lures the international majors is the fact that this segment is growing at 25%-plus (2009 sales), much higher than 15-17% growth registered by the small passenger car segment over the past few years. This growth of luxury car sales is driven majorly by increased wealth-creation within average Indian population and the desire of individuals to join the millionaire-club by flaunting their wealth. Growth of Indian economy has been faster than other emerging economies during recent times. Globally, India had the highest growth-rate (22.7%) of millionaire population during the year 2007. India added 23,000 millionaires from 2006 to 2007, taking total figure to around 123,000 millionaires; wealth as measured in US Dollars (Merrill Lynch Cap Gemini Report). However, during recession, the country noticed a decline of 31.6% in…

    The ability for a customer to buy books online provides him/her with an ultimate personal experience. It makes it possible for anyone to procure books that are tailored to their specific interests on any day and at any time. Online bookstores have altered the way in which readers and writers interact and are expected to have a huge impact on the book retail business in the future. Starting a website to sell books will benefit Book Bunker in numerous ways, not least by increasing their stock space. Physical bookstores are limited in space, which is not a problem for online bookstores. Online bookstores are perfect for popular titles as well as rare ones, thus being a perfect avenue for Book Bunker as these rare titles receives the same space in relation to popular titles on the bookstore’s website. Ordering rare titles online will take the same time for delivery, as it would be for popular titles. Online bookstores are also convenient for customers in rural areas; they do not require physical access and are open for 24 hours including winter. Finally, an online bookstore will allow customers to post reviews about titles, which will aid Book Bunker since this feedback will affect the ratings of the title online, especially for rare titles, and will make for a unique interactive shopping experience that will attract other customers to the site.…
