Upscale
Digital
Strategy
*Digital transformation is a
process of change involving
the configuration of the entire
organization to use new
digital tools, devices and
platforms effectively and
efficiently.
***Luxury & premium positioned
= 125 of the respondents
**The Myndset commissioned
this Digital Transformation
survey using Survata. Survey
protocol: The survey was
conducted online with
pre-recruited profiles in the
first week of November 2014.
There were 303 respondents,
all from the US.
The results of this survey indicate that upscale
brands find and/or seek to create value via digital
tools, devices and platforms.
If luxury brands remain, for the most part, laggards
in terms of true digital transformation, there is an
evident recognition by upscale brands of the
strategic need and opportunity to use digital to
enhance the customer relationship and, more
broadly, to drive the business.
While the Internet is, by its
roots and in its application,
intrinsically the great leveler,
the digital opportunity for
brands will depend on a
number of key factors,
including the sector,
company culture and
involvement of leadership.
Driving luxury with digital
(including eCommerce) to
create a superior customer
experience.
