This was a 5-minute presentation given in my Sales class. The purpose was to present a problem to a group of Chanel representatives, talk briefly about a solution, and end with a call to action that would necessitate a more detailed (and longer) discussion of the problem and solution. The problem that I presented in this presentation was Chanel\'s use of the internet as an information channel, while not taking full advantage of its e-commerce and community aspects. I present a 3-pronged approach that should drive both their online and offline brand management.

Editor's Notes
Essentially people make more money, can buy whatever they want due to accessibility of goods. A large part of this is due to international travel and the growth of the internet. The global luxury fashion sector is estimated to be worth US$130 billion. The sector is one of the few industrial segments that have remained a constant world economy contributor with an annual growth rate of approximately 20 per cent although we’ve seen some decline in the past few years.
Luxury brand managers must engage in a delicate balancing act.
Recent market segmentations have generally identified the following consumer segments in the online channel. Many luxury customers tend to be experimental and convenience shoppers
This is critical for luxury brands because any conversations online are conversations you should take part of and affect if possible
On the topic of luxury and the online channel, Chanel captures the essense of the brand
This is a missed opportunity
The A/O Test helps to analyze the type of luxury brand you are, your customer types, and determines whether you are doing well in current offline brand strategy. The online brand management process first looks at the type of products you sell to determine if they are conducive to e-retail, then goes through the strategic options to build a strong online channel. The final step helps put together a strategy for social media and the web as a whole
I would like to discuss the last point in greater detail and speak with you about the value I will bring as a consultant to solve your e-retail strategy.
