On Sept. 17th, Fondazione Altagamma presented three studies on high-end retail and the online presence of the brands in the segment.
Retail integration is the winning formula for high-end brands, whose strategies increasingly focus on single-brand channels, including flagship stores, e-commerce, shop-in-shops, and outlets, in traditional markets and in new ones.
Size matters: the competitive advantage of the big players triggers virtuous circles in terms of visibility, awareness, growth of sales outlets, profitability, and bargaining power.
Brands are also becoming increasingly digitalised. Online sales exceeded six billion euros in 2011 (+28% compared to 2010, three times faster than for the sector as a whole).
