Ready to start attracting luxury clients? As a small businesses you have a golden opportunity to attract a high-end clientele. But how can you prepare your brand to dazzle luxury clients?
Step one: Know the luxury market for your industry.
If you’re ready to serve the luxury market its imperative you know their quirks and cravings. Dive into market research to decode their tastes, desires, and spending habits. What makes them tick? What do they value?
It’s really important to remember that what you class as luxury may be dramatically different to what actually is luxury within your own industry. Competitor research is key to gaining a deep understanding of the average spend and to truly determine what is “luxury” within your industry. This is where a great brand strategy can help!
Step two: Be the crown jewel
Luxury clients crave exclusivity. Find your secret sauce – whether it’s handcrafted goods, limited editions, or customised services. Flaunt what makes you one-of-a-kind and embrace everything which makes you wonderfully unique. The beauty of being a small business is that you may already be leaning into a luxury approach.
Step three: Ooze quality
Luxury clients have an eye for quality and have high expectations of small businesses who are claiming to be a luxury brand. Raise the bar with top-notch finish touches and attention to detail. Make every product or service scream ‘first-class’ and train your team to be experts, anticipatory, and super responsive.
Step four: Allow your brand to shine
A brand targeting the luxury market needs to have a showstopping and cohesive brand identity. A classy logo, sleek packaging, and a chic website are the minimum. Don’t skimp on the finishing touches and finer details; from perfectly worded copy to bespoke branded ribbon, your brand identity should exude luxury from every angle.
