Will French Luxury Brands Charm The Chinese With cColbert? – 30/10/09

In our recent article on Customer Connection Is Crucial, a marketing expert suggested that European luxury brands have to woo the Asian market by educating potential customers about their brands. His exact words were, “Tell them a story, tell them the history. A watch, a bag, a pair of shoes can become so much more if you educate people."

So now it seems the French luxury brands at least are listening. This week’s release of cColbert is proof.

cColbert is a website designed by the Comite Colbert, France’s leading luxury federation, that’s targeted at Chinese consumers and designed to create “a virtual voyage through French luxury.”

According to its website - www.ccolbert.fr/, “the Comité Colbert, a group representing 70 French luxury houses, invites you to embark on an interactive journey in three dimensions to discover the world of French luxury.”

Whether or not cColbert will win Chinese customers over, we can’t predict, but we do think this is a step in the right direction for French luxury brands intent on charming the Asian market.
