Take a Deeper Dive

In a recent article, BOF touched upon how Covid has impacted the luxury fashion sector, highlighting the trends that would arise in 2021. Exploring the marketing strategies that really worked for brands is one of the most efficient ways to replicate success, without losing out from a monetary perspective. Not only is benchmarking an essential part of this but benchmarking in a diversified way is even more valuable. Using a localized strategy to understand what consumers are looking for in different regions of Europe, Asia, and other key stakeholders allows brands to take a more considered, intimate approach when it comes to their overall marketing strategy: "brands must also look to cultivate local relationships in regions that have recently been more reliant on tourism to drive growth." In 2021, the pressure to demonstrate ROI is going to be at the forefront of decision-making and goal-setting, so marketing teams in fashion, luxury, and beauty need to start the year off on the right foot.

Using software technology such as Insights can help with this, as the app applies one unified metric (MIV®) in order to compare the value of campaigns across print, online, and social media with your selected competitors. You can read more about how MIV® works in this article if you are interested.
