LVMH's Digital Drive Takes Time Despite Apple Hire | News & Analysis | BoF. PARIS, France — When LVMH hired former Apple music executive Ian Rogers to craft a digital strategy, investors may have hoped for some quick results.

If so, they are probably disappointed. Almost a year later, aside from drafting in more digitally-savvy people and taking part in a technology start-up fair, his impact on the world's biggest luxury goods group has yet to become visible. Changing mentalities and priorities at LVMH takes time, according to sources close to the €78 billion ($88 billion) group controlled by France's richest man, Bernard Arnault. LVMH's online strategy appears inconsistent across its more than 70 businesses and brands. Some labels such as Louis Vuitton and Fendi have made great strides along with cosmetics retailer Sephora, but Céline stands out as an apparent laggard.

Still, the announcement caused Insta-chaos. So, what are the influencers worried about? For many influencers, Instagram has become a valuable revenue stream. Karen Robinovitz, chief creative officer at Digital Brand Architects, says there is “potential” for the changes to affect influencer reach.

NEW YORK, United States — Luxury-goods sellers are keeping the champagne on ice. Despite posting earnings that topped analysts’ estimates for their most recent quarters, Coach Inc., Ralph Lauren Inc. and Michael Kors Holdings Ltd. all offered less-than-rosy forecasts.

The gloomy outlooks weighed on shares of Coach and Michael Kors, while Ralph Lauren’s stock rose on optimism that a turnaround plan from its new chief executive officer is gaining traction. Executives at the companies — which sell merchandise ranging from $400 handbags to $5,000 pea coats — say decreased tourism to the US and dwindling spending are hurting sales at department stores as well as their own locations.

And in a break from recent practice, they are trying to avoid resorting to extreme discounts to move merchandise for fear that the tactic will ruin their brands’ images among consumers.

Luxury Brands Focus On “Instagram Generation” Ultra Rich Customers. It’s a brave new world out there, though not the one Aldus Huxley envisioned. Technology is all-pervading in more ways than we actually realize. While browsing the web you always come across headlines with celebs touting the latest and greatest.

Whether it’s a reality star, a Hollywood A-lister or a singer, everyone knows what they’re doing, where they are, what they’re wearing – oh, and what they are driving. The paparazzi will soon be a thing of the past. Celebrities use social media themselves to promote…, well, themselves. To automotive company executives, it sounds like a golden opportunity. Give them what they want, that’s the answer. Everyone is getting on the game. Of course they do; the restrained options remind them of their parents’ or grandparents’ cars. A chrome Bentley or Rolls may cause loyal customers a heart attack, but in the end it’s only business. He calls it “The Instagram Effect”. Make no mistake: Gordon Gecko was right.
