...Louis Vuitton in Japan Q1. What has made LV business model successful in the Japanese luxury market? Ans. I would like to demonstrate the success of the Business Model of ‘LV’ via the concept of Four Ps (Product, Price, Place, and Promotion). Product – In general marketers seeks ‘adequate quality’, ‘faintness of use’ etc., and too much of quality can be undesirable because it increase the cost. However, ‘LV’ handbags represented ‘products of distinctive qualities’ and ‘attention to details’. In general the concept of ‘relative quality’ is challenged by the ‘absolute quality’ which has forced customers to LV or nothing attitude. To back their products ‘LV’ has taken action against counterfeiting item by ‘Enlightenment Champagne’, involvement of French trademark authorities etc., make there product defendable. Partnership with local artist and Limited edition products has demonstrated that Product Line up and innovation are very strong parts of ‘LV’ business model in Japan. Price – Market Demands “Low Price”, this is achieved by reducing costs and off-shoring production to China and elsewhere. Louis Vuitton handbags, on the other hand, are priced high. Such high prices are unnecessary for merely stowing and carrying things. In essence, the Louis Vuitton difference is value, not price—this being absolute value, not relative value. Many of the principles for Price were innovations that came about after Kyojiro Hata became president of Louis Vuitton Japan and...

...WASEDA BUSINESS & ECONOMIC STUDIES 2009 NO.45 Luxury Brand Strategy of Louis Vuitton - Details of Marketing Principles by Shin'ya Nagasawa* Abstract: By systematicallybreaking down the strategy of the single Louis Vuitton luxury brand into the four Ps (Product, Price, Place, and Promotion), our aim in this paper is to extract the rules or principles of its brand marketing that differ from that of general consumer goods. In other words, the object is to distill the rules and principles of success strategies for luxury brands as well as to derive a business model for success. Showing that the current rise of Louis Vuitton is not a coincidence but rather something achieved through strategy will surely be of interest to firms struggling with lack of brand power or those looking to boost brand power. 1. Introduction Consumers like brand items, while researchers like brand theory. Although scholars also use the word "brand" to refer to the likes of Coca-Cola and McDonald's, there is a vast gulf between these brands and the luxury brands we explored in the previous book. In researchers' brand management theories, one rarely finds mention of representative luxury brands like Louis Vuitton or Dior, or of LVMH. Based on this awareness, we carefully scrutinized the ecology of the unique LVMH firm, considering the nature of the brand as distinct from commodity markets, although * Shin'ya Nagasawa is a professor of MOT (Management of Technology) at...

Below are real comments from people who took a survey we organised with CustomerThink on the Louis Vuitton shopping experience. "No one bothered to greet me other than the security guard at door!"

...2. The strength of Louis Vuitton is in its strong, established brand image and international presence. Brand name is what allows the company to de-commoditize luxury products and extract premium from the market. Throughout its history Louis Vuitton has developed a reputation for providing its customers both quality and unique product image. Louis Vuitton products distinguish themselves on five key traits: high prices, excellent quality, aesthetic and emotional value, rich brand history and uniqueness. Solid business model and rapid expansion overseas proved to be a great platform to help establish a high-end international brand image. Ability to control its distribution channels allows Louis Vuitton to capture value added instead of giving it to the middlemen such as suppliers and retailers and to deliver the best quality goods to the customers. Owning shops gives Vuitton control over level of stock, presentation and pricing. Additionally, LVMH is the most highly diversified luxury goods company. Even though LVMH is an acronym of three brands: Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy, the company owns over 50 brands: 13 apparel and leather goods brands, 20 wines and spirits, 6 retail brands, 10 perfumes, 5 watches and jewelry. This multi-brand strategy that LVMH adopted is another company’s strength. Opportunities exist for Louis Vuitton to continue with its current strategies of establishing large branches worldwide. Louis Vuitton products are designed for wealthy individuals, who demand...

...challenges of Louis Vuitton, the leading European luxury sector multinational firm, in Japan, the second largest economy in the world. The case illustrates the business strategy of Louis Vuitton in an important market, taking into account the unique features of brand management, and integrating culture and consumer behaviour in Japan. In the last decade, Japan has been Louis Vuitton’s most profitable market, representing almost half of its profits, but it seems that the global economic crisis has resulted in a decline in sales. Other European brands in the luxury and fashion sectors have also been generating one third of their profits from Japan. Facing a weak economy and a shift in consumer preferences, Louis Vuitton has been adapting its unique strategy in the Japanese market, taking into account consumer behaviour patterns. The days of relying on a logo and charging a high price seem to be gone as there is more interest in craftsmanship and value for money. To promote sales, the company has had to launch less expensive collections made with cheaper materials. The brand has also been opening stores in smaller cities, where the lure of the logo still works. Louis Vuitton may be French, but Japan has become a land full of Louis Vuitton lovers. Over the years, Japanese consumers have demonstrated fascination with and passion for the iconic brand. What have been the keys to Louis Vuitton’s successful...

...October 14, 2013 Louis Vuitton Case Study 1. What has made Louis Vuitton’s business model successful in the Japanese luxury market? Louis Vuitton’s business model in Japan is truly extraordinary in the way they use product, price, place, and promotion. The company was founded on producing products of the highest quality by Louis Vuitton Malletier in 1854. LV continuous effort to innovate their product through partnerships with local artist to create limited product lines and never deviate from the founding father’s vision is directly related to LV’s success. Louis Vuitton’s product image in the consumers mind is so important that they are taken huge measures in preventing counterfeiting of their product globally. The next portion of the LV’s business model is price. For a majority of company’s price is determined all by market demand and can fluctuate in order to stimulate or maintain consumer demand. For LV it is different, their products are priced unnecessarily high all the time despite what the market demand is. They do this because LV products are luxurious status symbols and in this sense offer absolute value out of a purchase. If the company prices their item any lower than what the current price is then the LV label will hold its social value. LV’s choice of place is unique because they only sell from a very small number of stores of which are mostly owned by the company. This is unique because traditionally an increase and sales can directly...
