BENEFITS AND SERVICES OF MEMBERSHIP
- Think Tanks – The ability to tap council member thinking and “brainstorm” problems/opportunities is a very powerful asset. Few, if any, organizations can offer convenient and timely access to the best thinking of the best luxury “on demand” as The Luxury Council routinely, strategically and selectively does. We call the ‘partner members,’ develop an executive white paper preface to the Think Tank event by working with your team, facilitate and moderate the discussions, and write an executive summary of the discussions for the client council member. Every one learns. Every one wins.
- Networking – The ability to pick up the phone and call any one of some 875 member companies, some 3,000 CEOs and CMOs, and discuss budgeting, and customer related issues.
- Relationship Brokering – Routine and regular “putting together” of members interested in working together on joint promotions, collaborations and partnerships to share best customers and generate synergies.
- Association – Being in the company of the most prestigious luxury product and services companies, and having personal access to decision makers to enhance your brand as well.
- Executive Roundtable / Best Practices Mornings – The idea exchange and exploration of critical marketing issues and topics in a comfortable climate with very smart marketers is one of our biggest selling points. Topics have included Direct Mail Loyalty Programs, The New Media, The Power of Customer Service, The Aesthetic Conventions of Luxury, Collaborations: Business and the Arts, Effective Public Relations: Case Histories, Women of Substance and Influence, Leveraging the Brand: Corporate Reputations as a Quantifiable Asset, Luxury and the Internet, and CEO and Publishers’ panels.
- Regular Access To Interested Media – We routinely and frequently refer members to journalists looking for specific points of view on different industry groups and trends in the luxury and among consumers of luxury products and services.

We have investigated “Best Practices of Best Companies in Reaching Best Customers,” “ What Keeps Luxury Awake at Night,” “Best Practices of Companies Who Have ‘Gone Global’ In Leveraging Their Brands,” “ Strategic Giving and Philanthropy Among Luxury,” and “How Luxury View; Allocation of Resources” to name a few.
