3. Use brand heritage to tell the stories behind products
In his book ‘Start With Why’, Simon Sinek explains how great marketing starts by explaining why they exist. Despite this, the majority of brands still market their products by explaining what they do.
Take Apple for example. Here’s a paraphrased excerpt of how apple communicate with their customers:
“Everything we do, we believe in challenging the status quo. We believe in thinking differently (why Apple exists). The way we challenge the status quo is by making our products beautifully designed, simple to use and user friendly (How Apple achieve their why). We just happen to make great computers (What Apple do).”
Communicating the story behind your products, and explaining the values that define a luxury brand, is fundamental to effective luxury marketing.
Aston Martin do a great job telling the story of their brand heritage on all of their product pages and digital content.
