Stuart Weitzman Sale

In contrast to the affirmations by some market of luxury and in contrast to the consultant ones of detail that the current economical problems create changes in the long term in their methods of life and their reductions in the expenditures on the luxury and the consumption apparent by the consumers of luxury of America, Ron Kurtz, the President Of The Center of Research of American Crowd (AARC) believes that "most of Beings more normal, more rational and more frugal. Their prudent expenditures are not a new tendency".

While the concepts of "the wealth of diverted means" and "luxury shame" now are advanced by the consultant ones of detail and luxury and the futurists by the anecdotic research of the backs of cut in the expenditures on the pretentious luxury, Kurtz feels "the sale of goods and luxury services, as defined by the majority of tributary of America, is not dependent a lot of Change in 2009, just as did not show to him 30 the to a lot of changes on the passed.

Kurtz bases its opinions on the ground of AARC breaking the research on the luxury definition among the tributary. Replying them to the investigation of AARC of the richest 10% of households United States was asked to specify the more they could imagine expenditures for 37 products and the different services. They also were asked to name the brand they do the purchase more probable for each of the items.

The profile of the 552 men and the easy women in the sample of national investigation is: $304,000 average income of household, $3.1 million net values of average household, and $1.2 million average values of their primary house. The average age is 55 while 86% is married and 60% is males.

Kurtz underlined that it "does not see proof that the tributary majority shows the changes of in the long term major tendencies in their model expenditures and the attitudes. They never were pretentious or apparent consumers. They always watched out the buyers and savings that look for the quality and the value in their purchases, the brands that they buy, and the stores where they go shopping".

The easy market in the United States cuts return and differs expenditures, according to the research of AARC in 2008 and 2009, because of the current economical conditions, especially given the reduced values of their houses and their stock wallets. Nevertheless, these expenditure changes should not affect matedrielment the sales of the high products of end and of brands associated normally with the "luxury" pretentious because most of the people in this market did not represent a substantial source of the sales of such products. "They will not change suddenly Manolo Blahnik to the shoes of Weitzman of Stuart, of Prada To Induce stock markets, or of Four hotels of Seasons to Marriott," according to Kurtz, "because they did not support these brands beforehand".

The sales of the high products of "luxury" of end seem to be principally diverted of international one "rich new" the consumers and by the small segment of the richest 1% in the United States, as indicated by the research of AARC. A sale portion also apparently was diverted from these to stretch their resources (especially their credit) to attain a luxury taste.

Kurtz believes "a segment of the small market of niche of apparent American consumers will have the change their behavior of expenditures and economy. The bankers of investment of Wall Street, the lawyers, and of others in the secured activities test big reductions in income and the net value. A lot of the youngest people in this group have not the substantial net value to have recourse to, as they spent that they did and maybe even more". Kurtz observed that the changes in the expenditures of these people, just like among the rich one "rich new" the citizens of the BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, and China) and the other countries testing now recessions and declines in the prices of oil and commodity, will contribute to the decline in the sales of the brands of "luxury" pretentious.

The concepts as "the discreet luxury", in the view of Kurtz, are creations of some consultant ones of detail and luxury that invent terms as "the massive tributary", that it considers to be an oxymoron, promote the new work of consultation. In his opinion, "certain of these consultant ones are inclined to invent such terms to describe changes in the behavior among a small group of people as the major tendencies. These tendency projections are based often only on the anecdotic research or "managed"".
