Luxury Institute researchers found most luxury brands in the writing instruments category, as in the luxury watches category, to be niche brands, with 1% to 4% awareness among the wealthy, and in many cases, known only to connoisseurs. Still, the holy grail of a luxury brand is a Harry Winston, or a Rolls Royce, brands that are known to the majority of wealthy consumers, but are affordable by only a few. That feat requires brilliant products, and even more brilliant marketing skills.

Luxury CEOs need to know how the target market perceives their brand's reputation and that of their competitors' (LBSI), and how customers rate their brand experience and competitors' experiences (LCEI).

The Consumer Audio brands category has scores of brands vying for wealthy households. Many of the wealthy are audiophiles who only buy top-of-the-line, yet most also acquire well-known audio brands. We mapped the entire category by brand reputation using the voice of wealthy consumers to gain an understanding of awareness, and the perceived differences among the world's leading audio brands. Brand reputation with the target market has been rated by executives as one of the most critical metrics a brand can measure over time; and there is no consumer more likely to buy more in volume and value than America's wealthy consumer. These are your best prospects and customers.
