Social media, you either love it or the very word sends a shiver of distaste down your spine, but whichever way you look it’s showing no signs of bowing out gracefully anytime soon. When used right social media can be an incredible way to network. You can see social network as one big soiree where you don your pearls, grab a glass of Dom Perignon and glide around the room interacting with everyone in sight and generally creating a beautiful buzz. This is social strategy and luxury marketing at its finest.

Yet for many luxury brands, social media simply seems that you bite off more than you can chew and in many cases this is true. High quality and effective luxury social media aren’t just about swinging by to say hi before grabbing your coat tails and fleeing the scene, it’s a commitment that lasts all night. There are so many channels to monitor, so much content to filter, so many interactions to make, pokes, prods, shares, tweets, status updates; it’s no wonder luxury brands may feel that the effort of social synergy has lost its sheen.

That being said social media is not something to be swept under the carpet even for the best established and most mature brands. Social media is a goldmine of free publicity, a treasure trove of customer connections and a fast and effective way to prevent damage to your brands’ reputation. Social management is the way you deliver the personal touch to your business, how you converse openly with consumers, creatively collect marketing research and spread the allure of your products far and wide.
