Based upon analysis of the spending habits of Amex affluent card holders, the company announced recently that the luxury market has recovered from the recession, but, he also warned that the make up of today's post-recession luxury consumer market is very different from that before the recession. 

Peter Niessen, vice president of American Express Business Insights said, "There is a new constituent who is driving spending.  We need to speak to traditional consumers, and the new GenX and GenY [also called Millennial] consumers in a way that lets us continue that growth."

Neissen stresses the need for marketers to target these high-spending young affluents, "There is a whole set of new luxury consumers that we have to acknowledge, recognize and market to."

Luxury marketers must get up close and personal with the next generation of their customers

Who are these new affluent consumers?  Even more important, what do we know now about the Millennials poised to become affluent?  The answers are essential for every company planning to target this new and changing market.

To address these questions, Unity Marketing announces a Call for Sponsors for its newest study, "Millennials and their Luxury Aspirations," a consumer insights study about the millennial generation and how they will behave as their wealth grows. 

Unity Marketing has identified a segment within the Millennial generation that is likely to be headed toward affluence and will examine their attitudes and behaviors through focus groups and a qualitative survey.

"The luxury market has changed dramatically as a result of the  recession, and it stands to change even more as the Millennials take center stage as affluent customers," says Pam Danziger, president of Unity Marketing and author of the new book, Putting the Luxe Back in Luxury:  How new consumer values are redefining the way we market luxury. 

"As this 'wealth wave' washes over the U.S. luxury marketplace, these young consumers will demand brands that offer products that speak to their unique sensibilities, with communication that occurs across a variety of platforms.  Understanding the wants and needs of this upcoming force in the luxury marketplace is key for companies that plan to thrive," Danziger says.

Research sponsors will guide and direct the study

Unity Marketing's new study is seeking sponsors.  Sponsorship will allow companies direct input into the questions and topics examined in the focus groups and quantitative study.  Sponsors will receive access to recordings and transcripts of focus group proceedings, analysis reports, survey topline crosstab reports, and webinar presentations. 

With sponsorship budget ranging from $5,000 to $10,000 (depending on number of sponsors and total focus groups/survey respondents), this detailed data and analysis will deliver many of the benefits of custom research without the investment.
