In today's hospitality industry, dominated by big players, mending luxury brands that become shabby is more challenging than ever. Betting on luxury turnarounds is like playing roulette – the stakes are high. The pandemic has made it even harder for smaller brands to regain market share as larger competitors have grown and now have deeper pockets. The pressure on margins creates a vicious cycle in which struggling brands can't match their rivals' marketing muscles. I have noticed that once the city's gems, many hotels started cutting corners on service and stopped or delayed updating their products or offers, including maintenance, to save costs. Guests noticed reviews plummeted, and it became an uphill battle to restore their former glory. Staying focused, innovating, and leveraging every opportunity to maintain your brand's edge is crucial. Don't let your brand go shabby! #BrandFocus #LuxuryBrands #HospitalityIndustry #MarketShare #StayAhead #BrandStrategy #InnovateToWin

I had the privilege of participating in the #INSIDELVMHCertificate course, which was profoundly enriching - gaining insights into the ecosystem of the ever-expanding LVMH group. This 8 weeks course, which I just completed, focused on key challenges in the industry, covering the following topics: 1. LVMH and the luxury industry 2. Luxury and society 3. Creation and branding 4. Retail and customer experience I am eager to apply the knowledge gained during this valuable experience as I continue my studies in hospitality. #lvmh #luxury #hospitality #ehl

I don’t know about you or maybe it’s just me but I observed that those who mostly comes from and established a foundation in the (luxury) hospitality industry or someone who has a background of it, one can immediately feel a sense of calmness and home each time they engaged in a conversation or whenever they interact with anyone. In my experience and because I take my time seeking refuge in a hotel cafe enjoying the comforting solitude of the ambiance to ease my stress at work before, I can feel their warmth and softness to a point that I see them as a diplomatic conversationalist. You can confined and asked and they’ll walk with you in finding the answer. I can see that as well among my acquaintance. Honestly, it’s where one can feel the human touch and emotional connection. Mercedes Abramo started with Ritz-Carlton. One of the reasons why it’s my favorite hotel simply because of the $2,000 rule per day of all employees that need not any approval to resolve issues should they encounter complaints from their guest. If that’s not empowering enough I don’t know what will. Then she moved to Retail. I have watched this and I enjoyed how she talks. It’s soothing, calm, and soft. It’s a melody to the ears when she talks. Just my two cents: I really feel that when you come from the hospitality industry and moved to retail, an individual’s greatest strength and asset is handling ultra wealthy entitled client’s dispute and issues. Assuming and especially if one works as part of the Sales Force. Why? Because they know how to set the mood and tone. Retail to me is interesting particularly operations and how management works, and if one is working with the sales team it’s not every day one gets to meet different profiles and interact with them and sometimes they will eventually become part of a family if trust is earned. Though it’s a challenging ground that comes with emotional exhaustion. ???? Not so with numbers and figures because I had been with sales and one will always find a way around to hit targets, but more of handling heavily entitled client’s concern. Sounds like I had been traumatized. Haha! I mean who wouldn’t when you receive and get shouted over the phone or in person with a line, “I know the Board of Director of your company and I am the Friend of the Family.” and this while you are following standards and protocols set by the company but you know that you are there hanging by a thread praying that you will still report the following day. Well, either way you just need to choose which scolding you want to handle.??

Luxury Goods Investments vs. S&P 500 in the Last 10 Years ?? Over the past 10 years,?rare whisky?(or whiskey, depending on where it was made) has been the best performing luxury asset, appreciating by 280% and even besting the S&P 500. ?? Fine?wine?and luxury?watches?were the next two best performing luxury goods by 10-year returns, at +146% and +138% respectively.

?? ????????'?? ?????? ???????????????????? ?????????? ?????????? ?????? ?????????? If you visit the iconic 5-star Negresco hotel in Nice, check out the drinks menu. You’ll find something that might surprise you. FRENCH BLOOM, a non-alcoholic sparkling wine, is listed alongside legendary champagnes with centuries of heritage. Not bad for a brand founded in 2021! In just a few years, French Bloom has become a Luxury alternative to champagne. A remarkable achievement given how tough it is to break into the Luxury market. Plus breaking in with a new category? Even harder… By 2027, the non-alcoholic wine category is projected to capture nearly 4% of the alcohol market. So the announcement of LVMH’s 30% investment in French Bloom didn’t surprise me. It's a smart response to the shifting lifestyle of today’s Luxury consumers. ? ???????? ?????? ???????? ???????? ?????? ???????? ???????????? ??????????????-???????? ?????????????

In this week's Hotel Analyst Perspective, the argument is made that the hotel industry needs more brands, not fewer. The focus should be on creating meaning for consumers rather than sticking to swim lanes. LVMH, Europe's most valuable company, has over 75 brand houses and more brands than can be counted.
