Promotion Methods & Strategy for Louis Vuitton

Hiiii,

Right so we need to decide on 3 methods of promotion for our product. The first is a swing tag, the second a point of sale and for the third one we could possibly look into maybe designing a carrier bag or a dust bag? The initial idea of doing an advertisement for a magazine would be tricky seen as we don't have the actual product to photograph....What do you's think? The only thing about designing carrier bag is - is it actually a form of promotion?









Also, we need to take into consideration our promotional strategy:

  • What is the goal of our promotion?
  • What type of promotion should be used for our luxury brand?
  • What effect should the promotion have on the customer?
  • Which promotion is working and which isn't working?
  • What are the costs of the promotion compared to the benefits?
There are five types of objectives for a promotional strategy and they are:

  • To provide information
  • To increase demand
  • To differentiate the product
  • To accentuate the value of the product
  • To stabilise sales
Just thinking....we need to name our product as all the Louis Vuitton bags have their own names. Suggestions?

The Neverfull bag

We are using the Neverfull bag as inspiration for our piece of luggage. Here is some information about the bag on the Louis Vuitton website:


It comes in 3 sizes:
