The 2012 holidays marked a turning point in the history of luxury marketing with the increased inclusion of social media campaigns, online and mobile efforts conducted on smartphones and tablets than in years past. This free, hour-long webinar tracks luxury marketing’s progress over the holidays, lessons learned, left-field surprises and best practice for 2013.

Luxury retailers, brands and marketers deployed multichannel advertising and marketing campaigns and programs to drive sales to stores, mobile destinations, online or on phone. Indeed, major luxury marketers pulled out all the stops – social media, emails, print campaigns, catalogs, outdoor ads, smart store windows, online ads, QR codes, mobile banner ads, rich media, search, geotargeted efforts, mobile Web, applications, promotions, collaborations and video – to attract holiday-oriented consumers.

“While the holiday season is not make-or-break for most luxury brands, it does offer them a chance to be at their festive best with eye-catching marketing,” said Mickey Alam Khan, editor in chief of Luxury Daily, New York. “This past holiday season didn’t disappoint. Luxury retailers and brands ran campaigns that were noteworthy for their messaging, targeting and product offering.

“Of course, the addition of marketing and commerce over tablets and smartphones, aided by social media, is changing the rules of the game,” he said. “Indeed, nimble is the name of the game.”
