FUTURE MARKETING SEGMENT
Parts that remain the same:
-Psychological segmentation: status related motives,“The Art of Travelling”
-Rate segmentation:heavy users
-Fashion, Lathergoods, watches & jewelry are leaders in their respective markets, their turnovers keep on increasing
-Perfumes & Cosmestics turnover has increased but the market share is quite low. LVMH has to streghten his brand because great competitors
-Wine & Spirits turnover did'nt really progress but main source of revenue
- Selective retailing through media focused only on french market.
Based on the Swot analysis, we have found that the first option for growth that louis Vuitton can exploit is diversify it’s product range/ portfolio such as going into perfumes where there are gaps in the personal luxury industry.
