Heather Dougherty Brand Quotations

Luxury retailers spend a lot of money advertising in the off-line world, in print, because they are comfortable with that, they have more control over that situation. Those brands want to keep up a specific image, so they've been cautious about advertising online.

Like their offline counterparts, online shoppers have favorite retailers that they frequently visit. They are very familiar with the retailer's brand name and tend to go directly to their sites. However, some gifts may involve more research, in which case search engines and shopping comparison sites come into play. Most shoppers use a variety of channels to get their holiday shopping done.

They know the brands they are going to find and they know that they will usually be able to return items if they need to. In a sense, online retail now looks more like traditional retail, where apparel has long been a mainstay throughout the year and especially during the holidays.

The advertising market is obviously far stronger than a few years ago, and Glam is going after a lot of luxury brands that hadn't yet come online then and who still might be hesitant about it, and offering them a very controlled environment to test the waters,
