Big Attendance Confirms the Strong Start for ‘07

With three events under our belt this year, the Council is off to a strong start. More than 120 guests were in attendance at the March 28th event sponsored by Marin Magazine and featuring panelists from Cathay Pacific Airways, The Leading Hotels of the World and Orient-Express. The April 11th program, sponsored by The Ritz-Carlton Club and Residences, and featuring Dick Baker from Premium Knowledge Group, drew close to 200 real estate professionals who sell primarily to the luxury residential marketplace. In total, close to 2,000 members and guests have attended Council events in the last twelve months.

If there’s one thing we’re learning, it’s simply the fact that our members demand and deserve the best information, insight and learning about luxury marketing. To that end, the Council is committed to being the unrivalled source and outlet in the Bay Area for learning and understanding the luxury consumer. Happily, we’re beginning to receive feedback that we run the best meetings in the city in terms of networking and learning.

What is LuxeSF?

Each month I get the same question, “When will I receive my magazine in the mail?” LuxeSF is an online publication only which also serves a dual purpose as the Council’s website. The contents change every 30 days and updates are posted daily to the site particularly for the Events Calendar. Older content is archived in the Past Issues section, while some sections such as Intelligence remain as an active repository of information that continues to grow each month. The online magazine is now distributed to 1,200 subscribers, with more being added each month.

Exciting Things Coming

Within the next 30 days, members will be offered the opportunity to showcase their products and services in the Council’s inaugural issue of the Luxe Holiday Season online catalogue. We’ll be featuring spectacular luxury products and equally spectacular offers just in time for holiday season gift-buying. Stay tuned!

And you should have received an announcement for the one-time-only “Hob-Nobbing in Healdsburg” event scheduled for May 18th and featuring fine wining and dining at Cyrus Restaurant and J Vineyards & Winery. Since this exclusive event is being is being limited to 25 participants, we encourage you to sign up immediately (if the event isn’t already sold out).
