Luxury 4.0: A new concept that is secretly reshaping luxury marketing
By Yahong Zhang | April 28, 2020
Characterized by advanced technologies such as big data, smart factories, 3d technology, Artificial Intelligence, the internet of things, robots, advanced algorithms and machine learning, the 4th industrial revolution is happening as we speak and is triggering changes in industries and reshaping the way that companies manufacture products and the way that customers search for, engage with and shop for products.
The main driver of Industry 4.0 is the digitization and integration of vertical and horizontal value chains, of product and service offerings and of business models and customer access. Ultimately, Industry 4.0 will be fueled by the desire of companies to digitize as many components of their business as possible using breakthrough technologies.
As is anticipated, Industry 4.0 enables companies to digitize and automate their businesses, while reducing the involvement of human workers in actual production processes, thus increasing both productivity and profits.
In such a context, luxury marketers are expected to take their industries to the next level by ensuring that digitization becomes a source of smooth and personalized customer experiences.

How is Augmented Reality marketing related to your business?
By Yahong Zhang | October 31, 2019
Augmented Reality Marketing is a new technique where businesses integrate the advanced AR technology to marketing and sales activities. It is now embraced, in the luxury industry especially, as an efficient tool to enhance the connectivity with their customers and therefore increase online sales.
While people used to walk around in the malls and select a shop that looked the most appealing to them, they are now roaming the webpages and searching the e-commerce sites where they expect to find the best experience.
Similar to the brick and mortar stores, presentation is everything for e-commerce performance. Failure to offer an adequate shopping experience may cause customers to leave within seconds, especially when they have other options available on their fingertips.
In the year 2017, Saetang conducted a study and stated that good user experience would not only encourage the customers to buy the products but also inspire them to recommend the e-commerce site to others.
Hence, it is vital to design your e-commerce site in a way that is not only eye-catching but also offers the best user interaction to provide the optimal customer engagement.
