Is That The Scent Of Gucci’s Online Success? – 30/6/09

 

Recently we reported that Gucci is the most-talked about brand on social networking sites, and now they’ve announced the launch of two brand-new websites, dedicated solely to their fragrances.

 

Their site, florabygucci.com, which focuses exclusively on Gucci’s female scent, Flora, went live yesterday as promised. But fans will have to wait a bit longer for their main fragrance website, guccifragrances.com, as it failed to meet yesterday’s highly publicised launch date. This website is a collaborative effort between the fashion house and its fragrance license holder, Procter & Gamble Fine Fragrances.

 

Gucci seems to be pulling out all the stops to become closer to their consumer and more innovative in e-marketing. In a WWD Fashion article, Frida Giannini, Gucci’s Creative Director, said, “The Web allows us to involve visitors in a rich multimedia experience. They can then share that experience with their friends online. These new and exciting ways of communicating are fast becoming a way of life.”

 

Bravo Gucci for your e-commerce efforts! Shame you couldn’t deliver on guccifragrances.com, but we’re certain the site will be well worth the wait.
