1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 MARKET DEFINITIONThe luxury goods industry is characterised by consumer goods positioned in the
top-end of the market. For a majority of consumers, luxury brands are usually
perceived as being exclusive, represented by high quality, stylish and
extravagant. However, a few consumers perceive luxury goods to be lasting and
expensive.
1.2 ORGANISATION AND PRODUCT
Louis Vuitton Moet and Hennessey (LVMH) currently produce more than sixty
prominent brands in five divisions of activity; BBC (2010) claims that the LVMH
group is the worlds biggest luxury goods firm. The LV-A7 perfumes are a new
perfume line developed by the LVMH group to better suit consumers with the
needs exclusivity. The products (LV-A7 and A7- untitled) are a niche -luxuryand connoisseur luxury perfumes produced with superior craftsmansh ip for a
specific group of people, and people who want private worlds where intimate
connoisseurship exists (Focus, ND). LVMH will succeed in taking the concept of
exclusive -luxury to a new level with the launch of these products. The new
products have attractive bottle designs, base notes and scents that are
successfully differentiated from existing market options.
1.3 HISTORY
The LVMH group was formed in 1987 in a merger between Moet Hennessey and
Louis Vuitton. LVMHs divisions include: wines and spirit s, fashion and leather
goods, perfumes and cosmetics, watches and jewellery and selective retailing.
LVMH supports the growth of individual brands through shared resources whilst
recognizing their individuality and innovative positioning. Since its creation thegroup has had a strong dynamic, expanding retail network to the present 3,040
7/31/2019 Final Submission Marketing
6/25
stores worldwide. LVMHs core values border on creativity, innovation, and
product excellence. With more than 80,000 employees and revenue of
23,659million- 3,195million from perfumes and cosmetics- as at yearend
2011 (LVMH, 2012a), the group is poised to launch a new line of LV perfumes.The Louis Vuitton (LV) brand has recorded a steady growth, maintaining a stellar
course yearly in the fashion and leather goods divisio n. LVs loyal customers
demand the best possible quality, exclusive products and unparalleled level of
service (LVMH, 2012a). Therefore, extending the LV brand into luxury
perfumes will complement its existing brand value and the groups efforts in its
perfumes and cosmetics division.
2 SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS:
2.1 COMPETITOR ANALYSISLVMH major direct competitors in the luxury fashion goods sector in terms of
sales revenue are PPR group, Neiman Marcus Inc., Richemont and Hermes group.
LVMH still maintains a leading position in fashion and leather goods. The PPRgroup controls brands like Gucci, Sergio Rossi, YSL, Stella McCartney and
Alexander McQueen. In 2011 the group made a total sales revenue of
12.2billion (PPR, 2012). Its most profitable brand is Gucc i. The group is
increasing its presence in the Asian markets. Another major competitor,
Richemont controls leading brands like Cartier, Ralph Laurent, Mont Blanc and
Chloe. They recorded a total sales revenue of 6.7billion in 2011 (Richemont,
2012). Its main strengths are its wide geographical coverage and vigorousperformance supporting revenues and increasing margins. However, major
weakness such as its unfunded pensions scheme may compel the group to make
cash contributions to account for the gap in pension assets and liabilities. This
can limit the groups working capital, capital expenditures and store expansions
(Datamonitor, 2012). Hermes group is popularly known for its leather goods-
saddlery. In 2010, the group made 2.4billion in sales revenue. IBtimes (2010)
reports LVMH owns over 20% equity stake in Hermes.

image. Furthermore, LVs advertising strategy is a major strength of the brand.
With few words in high-quality print adverts and A-list celebrity endorsement,
LV effectively engages its target market.
Weaknesses:
A significant weakness for LV is a limited customer base. Owing to its pricing
structure, selective retailing and absence of sales promotion, LVs customer
group is restricted to the affluent. Another weakness could be the brand stretch
into an unrelated market wines & spirits. Although there have been market
speculations of the sale of the wines and spirits division to Diageo, LVMH
chairman denies the divestment of this portfolio (FT, 2009)
Opportunities:
A major opportunity for LV is the rising wealth in emerging economies (Bain &
Company, 2011). Also, socio-cultural changes such as attitudes and values
present opportunities for LV. For example, more women in the workforce drive
demand for luxury goods. JMRN (2007) claim that working outside the home
drives expenditure on self -consumption. Additionally, Peopl e are always
attracted to luxury. It has a certain allure to it that is hard to describe, (Thomas,
H, 2010); consequently, as income increase luxury spending will increase
correspondingly.
Threats:
A major threat could be changing consumer perceptions. Consumers increasingly
believe that they can derive more value in terms of functionality and quality from
mass-market products. JMRN (2007) claim that many consumers do not need
luxury brands to prove themselves as they acquire higher confidence levels. This
can trigger poor demand and sales of luxury products. Climate regulation laws
such as the Kyoto protocol can also be a source of threat to LV

3 CUSTOMER DRIVEN MARKETING STRATEGY
3.1 CUSTOMER SEGMENTATION
LV will base segmentation strategies on geography; the main geographic areas
will be Europe, US, and Asia. Advertising, sales and promotional efforts will be
localised to individual regions without compromising on the product quality or
offerings. Additionally, consumers will be segmented according to demographics.
Socio-economic variables such as income and class will be considered in addition
to gender segmentation. Consequently, perfume range will carry women andmen lines. The female lines will have milder constituents designed with the
womans che mistry, packaging and advertisements will also be tailored to
strengthen the female image. Mens lines will be slightly more concentrated and
designed to appeal to the male senses. Segmentation will also address
convenience hence 30ml, 50ml and 75ml bottles will be introduced and the A7-
untitled will come in only a 100ml bottle. LV will also segment market according
to occasions and gifts sets will be launched prior to special occasions such as,Christmas, Valentines day and Mothers day.
3.2 CUSTOMER TARGETINGLV will use a niche marketing strategy to launch its perfume as a premium
product. A7 lines will be targeted at the affluent-the upper middle class.
However, a high- end limited edition product (A7 untitled) - targeted at the
capitalist class-will be introduced annually and available at selected fashionshows only for a premium price. Regular A7 lines will target individuals with a
net annual worth of between $500,000 - $1,000,00 while the limited edition
product will target individuals with a net annul worth of over $1,000,000. This
will include major CEOs, A-list celebrities, Ivy League education common, heirs,
and top politicians.

3.3 MARKET POSITIONING
LVs strong heritage is built on critical foundations of uncompromising quality,
superior craftsmanship and the value of LVMH. Our businesses once again
showed excellent momentum in 2011. These excellent figures are a direct
consequence of our culture of innovation and creativity, as well as our obsessive
focus on the quality of our products (Arnault, 2011). A7 will be positioned as a
luxury product with a highly perceived value and a corresponding premium
price. Availability of the product will be through highly controlled selective
retailing signalling its exclusivity.
Positioning Stateme nt: A sniff of luxury
The A7-untitled will be positioned as a pure status product, limited and
restricted to the super-rich. With an accompanying positioning statement of
LuxuryUnfair!
3.4 BRANDINGBrands and brand image can be a source of competitive advantage and can serve
to improve profit margins for organisations. LVs strong focus will be to maintain
a premium image for the A7 lines. The brand elements of the name and logo is
linked to LVMH history and heritage. The logic behind the name: is A7 would
appear as an inverted form of LV. This product line will extend the brand
upwards and add prestige to LVs current products. In addition to the product
positioning, the brand will be strengthened by the integrated marketing
communication (see below).
3.5 CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT (CRM)As part of its strategy to manage customer relationships LV will design
magazines that decipher a luxury lifestyle and updates about products. These
magazines will be sent to customers on the database for a fee. Additionally, LV
will create an invite-only social network (LV-ELITEs) that transcends the
Internet. Customers can only join this network by invitation from LV after
purchase of A7-untitled. The network will be closely monitored and controlled
7/31/2019 Final Submission Marketing
11/25
by LVs custo mer relationship managers. Members LV-ELITEs can have the
privilege of designing a customised scent with private noses available from LV.
The customer will patent customised scents. Furthermore, exclusive parties will
be organised for LV-ELITEs. Parties will feature auctions and fund-raising forvarious charities.
3.6 COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGELV fragrances last longer than the market alternatives. LV has built a remarkable
reputation over the years and also benefits from the reputation of its parent
company-LVMH. Another advantage is its retail network. With about 3040 stores
in 60 countries, LV can boast of a huge geographical coverage. Additionally, LVbenefits from other complementary products of the brand or its conglomerate
group.as customers may sometimes prefer to buy different products of the same
brand or group.
3.7 OBJECTIVES
FINANCIAL
Achieve 15% ROACE
Increase earnings per share by 10% annually in the next 10 years
Increase sales revenue by 3 million in 2013
MARKETING
Achieve 90% brand awareness in target market
4 DEPLOYMENT OF MARKETING TACTICS
4.1 PRODUCTThis perfume is a blend of exotic and fruity fragrance with base notes of apricot,
sandalwood, amber, peach and musk. The Eau De Toillete fragrance is ideal for
all occasions. The Eau De Parfum is slightly more overwhelming therefore most
7/31/2019 Final Submission Marketing
12/25
suitable for daytime use. A7 lines provide the benefit of longer-lasting fragrance
and an association with the LV brand. The limited edition perfume arrives in a
rare L-shaped frosted glass box containing a V-shaped bottle carved from
polishes yellow gold, white gold and platinum. The bottle also features 100brilliant white diamonds inspired by Chris Aire.
4.1.1 PRODUCT LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENTOwing to consumers voracious craving for novelty and dwindling attention
span, fragrances now have a shorter lifetime than they used to. Consumers now
own many brands of perfumes and use them to suit moods, occasions and
seasons. According to MarketWatch (2006) report, "A few years ago, it used to bethat a fragrance would come out, slowly build up sales, and perhaps after three
or five years you would start seeing some attrition. Now a fragrance comes out
and often by the second year it's either off the shelves or posting double-digit
declines in sales." To mitigate this challenge LV will launch new product lines
annually in order to maintain a competitive advantage.
4.2 PRICING STRUCTUREThe pricing objective is to create exclusivity, signal extreme quality and also
serve to strengthening the brand position. Louis Vuittons pricing power has
generated reliable profit margins of around 40-45%- the highest of any luxury-
goods brand- (Economist, 2009). LV will pursue a luxury pricing strategy based
on the perceived value of the brand. Prices will be justified by the value of the
products and other aesthetics such as the packaging, personalised customer
service and generous return periods.Geographically segmented pricing strategy will be applied. A7 will be marketed
internationally; consequently, slight changes will be observed across regions.
Also, both feminine and masculine perfumes will be sold for the same price the
only difference will be observed in the volumes. The A7-untitled will be sold in
dollars across the globe and there will be no variation in price between regions.
There will be no sales promotion or discount pricing at any time so as to
preserve the brand value. As suggested by Keller (2 009) excessive pricemovements or volatility could send the wrong signal to the worth of the brand.

4.3 DISTRIBUTIONAlmost every aspect of the value-chain will be managed by LV. All material forthe production of the perfumes will be sourced centrally. The design will also be
by LVs designers, although the bottle design will be done by a design agency.
Manufacture, marketing and advertisement of products will be done In-house
and LV will spend about 10% of its sales revue on advertising annually. Product
distribution will be through 100% LVs directly operated stores (DOS).
Additional stores will be opened in Sephora, Harrods, and Bloomingdale and on
Saks Fifth Avenue. Whereas electronic media will be used to promote theproduct, actual sales will be restricted to physical stores. This strategy is
employed to increase the quality of LVs products and enhance brand image.
4.4 PEOPLEIn addition to LVMHs over 80,000 employees worldwide, LV will hire additional
800 staff that will be trained on the product benefits and effective customer
service.

4.5 PROCESSESBesides the process undergone to bring a product to market processes that
interest customers will be properly managed. Customers will wait a maximum of one minute before getting served. They will be informed about product updates
thru LVs magazine and other promotional activities.
4.6 PHYSICAL EVIDENCEPerfumes will be displayed throughout LVs 3040 chain of stores. Each Louis
Vuitton boutique will display the product on counters and sections with different
"themes". These counters range from, men's fragrances, womens fragrances. The
store will be organised in a way that allows customers easily locate different
sections, helping to navigate through what could be very confusing.
4.7 INTEGRATED MARKETING COMMUNICATIONSHader (2008) suggests, to win over todays upscale customers, brands must
ensure a flawlessly engaging and emotional experience with every interaction.
The promotional objectives are: Increase traffic on LVs website, Reinforce
purchase decisions and Increase sales. The main media to be used are: television,
electronic, outdoor and press. The A7-untittled will be restricted to word-of-
mouth advertising.
