Download or read book The New Luxury Experience written by Wided Batat and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-04-29 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This professional book introduces marketing and luxury brand professionals to a new definition of luxury and the art of designing the ultimate luxury experience in both the physical space (e.g., in-store, hotel, restaurant) and the digital space (e.g., social media, website, e-commerce). Specifically, it offers an overview of customer experience issues and explores big five experiential strategies that can be applied by luxury houses in order to provide the best luxury experience to their customers. Themes such as quality of customer luxury experience, immersion and co-production/co-creation in luxury, creation and management, digital and immersive marketing, and innovative market research are also examined. How do consumers define luxury? Is there one luxury or several “luxuries”? What kind of luxury experiences consumers want to live? How can luxury houses design the ultimate luxury experience? More than in any other sector, luxury consumption is a response to a search for emotions, pleasure, uniqueness, consideration and greatest services. The luxury consumer wants to live luxury experiences – not just buy luxury products or services. In this way, this book presents the luxury consumption experience as a combination of symbolic meaning, subconscious processes and nonverbal cues and characterized by fantasies, feelings and fun. Featuring case studies and interviews from international luxury sectors and brand managers such as Burberry, Dior, Porsche, Breitling, St. Regis Hotels & Resorts, and Louis Vuitton, among others, this book offers both a research and management perspective on luxury experience to professionals in the luxury sector (e.g., CEOs, brand managers, marketing and communication professionals), as well as marketing professors, students, and people eager to learn more about how to design the ultimate luxury experience. Praise for The New Luxury Experience “This book provides a holistic perspective on marketing of luxury brands, offering both useful practical advice as well as illustrating important cases.” -- Ravi Dhar, Director, Yale Center for Customer Insights, Yale University “Wided Batat’s book offers a fresh, insightful and comprehensive analysis of the concept of the consumer’s experience with luxury whatever that may be. The Five experiential luxury strategies proposed by Wided highlight that luxury management should go above and beyond the design and branding of luxury goods and services. I also commend the consideration given to the younger generations’ approach to luxury and to corporate social responsibility aspects. Luxury marketers should find this book very useful indeed.” -- Francesca Dall’Olmo Riley, Professor of Brand Management, Kingston Business School, UK

Download or read book From Many We Are One written by Ferdinand Metz and published by Austin Macauley Publishers. This book was released on 2023-12-08 with total page 599 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Many We Are One reveals the never-before told story of the rebirth and globalization of American Cuisine, as influenced by iconic restaurants, shaped by passionate individuals and enriched by education. A journey through ground-breaking periods illustrates the roller-coaster development of cooking in America. The book details historic events, food and wine competitions and the California food revolution, whose combined energies fueled this movement and catapulted American food and wines to the top of global prominence. Seminal events hosting the Queen of England and the Hyde Park Summit with Presidents Clinton and Boris Yeltsin, serve to elevate American cuisine to center stage. As President of the Culinary Institute of America I was fortunate to not only observe, but to actively participate in the education and nurturing of American chefs as evidenced by the legions of industry-leading CIA graduates. While cooking at Le Pavillon, at the time the best restaurant in America, I experienced the highest level of excellence, which shaped and dominated my emerging philosophy and appreciation of food and hospitality all shared in this book. A critical look at the industry recollects the impact of fast food, the positive professionalization of chefs, while questioning the lamentable status and struggles of women and African American chefs and the media’s reluctance to recognize their contributions to American cuisine. New emerging culinary concepts like Molecular, Fusion and Nouvelle cuisine are debated for their lasting and realistic impact on cooking. Lastly, the legacy of food in America is scrutinized for its contributions to gustatory benefits and their contrasting effects on the status on public health.
