Created as a winter retreat for America’s titans of industry, Palm Beach, FL has miles of pristine sandy beaches and lush tropical greenery. World-renowned for its beauty, quality of life, and small-town character, Palm Beach is still a favored destination and residence for the wealthy and well-connected. As the owner of a Palm Beach-based luxury brand, you know that this community is the standard for exceptional consumer experiences.
At The Palm Beach Advertising Company, we tailor all our marketing solutions, including our digital strategies, to the unique culture of this exclusive island community.
If you think digital marketing will reduce some of your luxury brand’s mystique, think again. In fact, you must have an effective digital marketing strategy. One-fifth of luxury sales will be online by 2025 and almost a quarter of luxury shoppers prefer to shop online versus in-store.
Digital marketing includes any promotion of a brand through online channels such as social media, a website, search engine optimization, email marketing, or content creation, such as videos, newsletters, and blogs.
Rather than spending more money on paid advertising, luxury digital marketing seeks to draw potential customers in through engaging content. When it comes to luxury brands, the goal is not to attract every consumer, but your specific target audience that is more likely to purchase your product or service. Here is just a sampling of how we create an ideal digital marketing plan for Palm Beach luxury brands:
Defining goals and your target audience
Before crafting a digital marketing strategy, we will help you define your ideal buyer persona and your goals as specifically as possible. For example, are you targeting Gen Xers? Millennials? Where do they live? What do they like to do in their free time? The more detailed the profile, the more we can fine-tune your digital marketing strategy to reach them.
When it comes to goals, you need to know where you want to go before you can get there. We will help you define your goals and create measurements for success, so you understand what tactics lead to your desired outcomes. Specific measurements may include impressions, checkout rates, or even email signups.
Use social media strategically
Social media users, including high net-worth individuals, use social media to view beautiful images, seek aesthetic inspiration, and entertain themselves. Therefore, visual social media channels provide an exceptional opportunity for luxury companies to promote brand awareness. Photographs are especially useful when it comes to evoking aspirational emotions that your potential customers may connect with such as lounging at an exclusive resort or donning sparkling, high-end jewelry. Rather than focus on the sale, channels like Pinterest and Instagram enable your brand to showcase the story behind your brand.
Optimize your website
When it comes to your website, you need a high-end aesthetic and a user-friendly experience to attract and keep your target luxury customers. That means designing an easy-to-navigate website that is technically excellent, including fast download times. Even the smallest typo or glitch will reflect poorly on your brand. Elegant fonts and carefully chosen colors create a timeless look. Your website must also be SEO-friendly so your target audience can find you!
Use strategic video production
Video production is playing an increasingly important role in luxury marketing. In a recent survey, a full 87% of video marketers reported that video gave them a positive ROI and 81% said they believe it has a direct, positive impact on sales.
Video content allows luxury brands to tell aspirational stories. The most effective aesthetic is a clean and minimalist one with a high-contrast typeface, simple colors, and strategic use of negative space to let the brand’s story truly shine.
