Programme overview
Introduction:
Luxury brand marketing and sales management, covering clienteling, pricing and brand equity, is the subject of this 5-day course for brand, retail sales and client relationship managers, who build a Luxury Brand Commercial Plan for a case brand. Luxury houses lose desirability when markdowns spread, distribution widens without control and client knowledge stays with individual advisors instead of the house. Nominees already manage boutiques, client portfolios, sales teams or brand budgets, and teaching is by case study on pricing, channel and client data drawn from fashion, jewellery, watches, cars, hospitality and prestige property. CoreConcept Training Center delivers this luxury brand marketing course.
Course Objectives:
- Position a luxury or premium house against its competitive set using heritage, craftsmanship and rarity as value drivers
- Set price architecture, price increases and markdown rules that protect perceived value across product tiers
- Design a selective distribution network of flagships, boutiques, partners and e-commerce with clear channel rules
- Segment high-net-worth and aspirational clients and run a clienteling programme with portfolio targets and contact plans
- Plan private sales, client events, digital campaigns and talent partnerships that build desirability without diluting the house
- Lead luxury sales teams with incentive schemes and brand-equity indicators, and act on grey market and counterfeit threats
Target Audience:
- Managers accountable for the positioning, collections and marketing budget of a luxury or premium house

Conclusion:
Back at work, the participant presents the Luxury Brand Commercial Plan to the brand director, boutique leadership and client relationship team, who use it to approve price moves, partner selection, clienteling targets and the private event calendar for the next season. Marketing colleagues use the partnership scorecard before signing talent, and sales managers apply the incentive scheme to advisor targets. After the first season under the plan, the team should review the performance dashboard, compare client retention and full-price sell-through with expectations, and adjust tiers and channel rules.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
What should participants know before a luxury brand marketing and sales management course?
Participants should already manage a boutique, client portfolio, sales team or brand budget in a luxury or premium business. No finance or analytics background is required. Anonymised pricing, channel or client data from their own house makes the case work more useful.
How does luxury brand marketing and sales management differ from retail selling or general branding courses?
It works at management level: price architecture, distribution choices, clienteling programmes, sales incentives and brand-equity protection. Shop floor selling technique, guest service etiquette and general brand strategy are touched on only where they affect commercial decisions for a luxury house.
Why do luxury brand marketing and sales management rules avoid discounting?
Discounting teaches clients to wait for markdowns and signals that the price never reflected value, which weakens desirability. Luxury houses instead manage scarcity, allocation and private sales for selected clients, keeping the public price stable and protecting margin and resale value.
What does a participant take back from luxury brand marketing and sales management training?
A Luxury Brand Commercial Plan for a case brand, with a positioning map, price architecture, channel rules, client segmentation and clienteling cadence, partnership scorecard, incentive scheme and performance dashboard that can be adapted to the participant's own house.
