For luxury retailers getting high net-worth consumers to buy in-store is a major problem. As the comforts of online luxury shopping demand grows more consumers are making their purchases online over inside retail stores these days. No big deal right? Well, many luxury brands don’t offer the same luxury goods and products online that they do in-store. Also, many consumers shopping for luxury goods in-store are not planning to buy inside the store but later online.
This means that when luxury consumers visit luxury retail outlets they browse and look around without making purchases. An luxury consumer shopping act known as “showrooming” where the high net-worth individual only looks but will buy likely online or online even somewhere else.
