Discount Luxury and The Treasure Hunters |
Details: |
Learn why the affluent and luxury elite feel equally at ease shopping in high-end department stores such as Neiman-Marcus, and at prominent discounters of the Costco, Target and Cost Plus type. Why the schizophrenic shopping behavior? Why the cross-over buying patterns?
A panel featuring the retailers who cater to both ends of the spectrum, and the consultants who advise them, will provide answers and understanding as to why that luxury consumer will offset an expensive buying spree in the couture department of an upscale department store in the morning with an afternoon trip to the Big Box discount club to acquire a case of palatable Chardonnay at $20 a bottle or less. |
