Customers could upload photos of themselves in their Burberry trenches, and customers and “aspirationals” alike could comment on them, ‘like’, and share the photos via Facebook, email, Twitter, or Delicious.
How does Burberry advertise?
Burberry has switched the focus of its marketing away from glossy print advertising in favour of digital investment. The luxury fashion brand is promoting the launch of its fragrance Burberry Body through Facebook, instead of glossy fashion magazines for the first time, according to the Financial Times.
Due to its ubiquity and immense reach, Facebook remains the leading social media platform used by marketers worldwide. Since launching in 2004, the social network has transformed the digital marketing landscape and helped drive user engagement for many of the world’s most recognizable brands.
How does Burberry communicate with their customers?
Burberry has a presence across 20 different social platforms and a combined following of more than 50 million. In 2016, Burberry launched a chatbot through Facebook Messenger as part of promo around its runway shows. Customers could use the chatbot to get updates and see behind-the-scenes content from the show.
Social media platforms such as Facebook or Twitter are the best means to reach young consumers that are increasingly difficult to address via TV advertising. Burberry is the best-ranked luxury brand in the Top Social Network ranking by Famecount in 2011.
A service level agreement (SLA) is a document that creates trust, enforces reliability, and keeps both the supplier and the customer on the same page.
What is the strategy of Burberry?
In 2017, we set out a strategy for transformation and growth, to elevate Burberry to a true luxury positioning. Since then, we have revitalised our brand, strengthened our product offer and elevated our customer experience.
Who is Burberry’s target market?
Highly dominated by women with a high disposable income. It is famous for its celebrity appeal. With stores located in largely populated, wealthy and tourist attractive cities.
What is Burberry’s competitive advantage?
Burberry’s main competitive advantage lies in the fact that the company’s resources are strong as compared to its competitors in the market.
Social proof is a huge factor in luxury advertising. Big brands like Gucci use it through celebrity endorsements. Smaller brands, like 001 London (which is one of our clients), can leverage social proof in other ways. Like they do here through both reviews and showcasing awards.
