    Take Action

    Pam Danziger, Unity Marketing, on lifestyle branding for luxe marketers.

    Pam Danziger, Unity Marketing01.17.11
    Values are the platform on which marketers can build deeper, more lasting connections with their customers.While having a commercial relationship is important, brand loyalty is based upon a true and meaningful connection.
    As marketers, we seek to build a customer relationship with affluent shoppers.Essentially, we want to attract them to our brands, our stores, our companies in order to make a sale.


    But making a sale isn't building loyalty—executing a transaction with the customer isn’t building a relationship.The marketers' goal has to be more than just making a sale; it's about making a true and meaningful connection with the customer.

     
    In order to make that connection, marketers and their brands must engage the customer as a person with a life beyond the store and with values that guide them in the many facets of their lives.It extends far beyond their identity as customers.Therefore, we need to engage our customers and potential customers. They are a complete people who are passionate about their lives, their families, their careers, their societies, and also passionate about shopping.Marketers need to engage the customer in all the many facets of his or her life that they care passionately about.

     
    Marketers have to earn the customers’ trust and respect.In order to build a true connection with the customer, not just a transaction, marketers need to take a 360° lifestyle approach.Marketers need to understand the many different dimensions, values and priorities of their customers and use that understanding as a platform to build a long-term lasting brand connection with them.
