harder to get coverage through public relations outreach

9. “Unlike mass brands, luxury brands should not strive
to please everyone, but those customers whose beliefs
align with their own.” - The Guardian
What is LUXURY?
“The ultimate luxury is to be able to live beyond death, and
that by collecting items that elevate our status in society it
helps us to unconsciously create a legacy.” - Forbes
“In the case of a Veblen good it is because people think
more expensive goods are better quality, and so people
buy more. Studies suggest people do get more
satisfaction from receiving expensive goods. It is possible
that designer clothes or luxury cars may sometimes
meet the criteria of veblen goods. This is often termed
the snob effect – people equate price to quantity.” -
Economic Help
“When presenting and pricing luxury items,
entrepreneurs must always add to their products’
perceived value and eliminate any suggestion of
commoditisation.” - The Entrepreneur
