Chaos is beautiful, chaos is artistic. But chaos is incomprehensible just like art. Even as a seasoned marketer and entrepreneur the chaotic nature of the marketing campaign can hit hard. At first, it might seem like a beautiful mess, but once the honeymoon period is over the management of any given campaign can turn into burnout. Let’s be real — the influx of data and pressure to outperform in the ever-changing landscape of marketing strategies can leave you feeling like you are on a rollercoaster. Worry no more, in this post we will dive deep to take charge, streamline your approach, and conquer the marketing frenzy like a pro.

Do what works and discard what does not with social media:

This is easier said than done, I know. In the world of online marketing, marketers are forced to be everywhere. Not only due to fear of losing out but also due to a lack of understanding of what works best for the brands. Everyone is everywhere, and marketers feel the pressure of being everywhere for everyone. But the product you are building especially if it is a luxury product, is not made for everyone. I know I know! the social proof drama is playing in your head. But don’t you feel that focusing and mastering a few social media platforms can generate more results than lateral efforts that are only spreading wide but not deep? Marketing is not only about reaching people but also about retaining the brand value in their memory like a feeling.

20% of your efforts get 80% of results (cliche but true)

Here’s the deal: You need not do a lot to succeed. It’s time to shed down the endless works of being everywhere for everyone and creating content that is generic. It’s time to identify the small audience that is more likely to dive deep into your content and stick longer. It’s time to identify that one platform that welcomes and is aligned towards receiving your message. It\’s not about shouting about your product in the marketplace, rather luxury marketing is more about resonating with the audience with personal stories. Your stories and their stories. Your product is not for everyone, it\’s made for the eyes which would cry rivers looking at it. Personal.

Data is a goldmine, but are you looking at the right place?

Psychographics trump Demographics. Data is a goldmine, data is beautiful to look at. It gives insights into a majority, yet can often feel like a labyrinth. Data represents the people we are going to speak to. People have aspirations, dreams and personal attitudes towards the phenomenon of life. A marketing effort that is completely based on demographics can not only be daunting and overwhelming but also can become like a juiceless fruit offered to the customers. It lacks emotional quotient and might feel sneaky as well.

Moreover, when you rely on the demographics you chase the audience endlessly, which feels like wandering aimlessly. Instead, if you focus on creating content that is appealing to a specific Psychographic, that audience comes searching for you. The outbound marketing efforts convert into inbound marketing.

So what can be done? In short, instead of targeting people on the basis of age, gender and location; create something based on their interests. For example, create content that appeals to a person who is interested in beetles and also loves to go to Starbucks for coffee. Did you get the point? We are no longer targeting the demographics but the liking and aspirations of the person. This would not only eliminate the overwhelming analysis of data but also make your effort more emotional and personal, as it speaks to the attitude and aspiration of the person you are targeting.

Be there, present for your audience:

This advice might sound rhetorical, especially when every book and blog is shouting in praise of automation. Do not automate. Social media platforms and writing platforms like Medium have built-in functionality to detect whether the content is AI-written or human. Buffered posts are looked down on by Twitter and Reddit may silently tag you as spam even for copy-pasting the text. A new technology is emerging to make our jobs easy, but we have to approach it with caution to avoid unwanted repercussions.

Said so, this won’t be a problem if you focus on selective platforms. In fact, it can be a satisfying experience to build a community that is sensitive towards your message and responds on a personal level. And this is possible only if you spend time understanding the community. A community is weaved with personal stories to build a strong connection. Bond.

Less is more — do not be Wikipedia

This is the magical point I want you to part with. Look at the image it says very clearly that it is an image of a coffee mug. It would be confusing to say that if it is cluttered with different objects around it. Less is more. When you want to convey your message clearly to the audience, less is always more.

Very true for luxury marketing, that in the first place, it is not about the product, or only about the product. And even if you want to feature a product there is a lot of empty space that has to be kept around the product. This space is called breathing space. It elevates the elegance and importance of the product by acquiring an important place in a largely reserved space.

The same goes for the outreach efforts. In fact, using the word outreach would not be appropriate in this case. It is less about inviting and more about welcoming when it comes to luxury marketing. It is less about raising the voice and more about raising the words. When you are calm and composed and speak slowly people will automatically lean in to listen to what you want to say. There is grace in the subtlety. There is beauty in shyness.
