The Luxury Experience
34 Mayfair - 34 Grosvenor Sq, S Audley St, London W1K 2HD
London
Summary
Is luxury about saying yes?
Can you believe this will be our 8th annual dinner for Luxury brand owners and their ecosystem?
Back in 2015 at our first ever luxury dinner we asked our attendees to help us “define” Luxury. Out of a long debate about price, quality and service it was our community member Louise Lyons from Cartier who said “Luxury is about being able to say “Yes”. Love that!
As the sector best insulated from the world’s woes, Luxury has performed well in the last 24 months, with demand stable and customers enjoying entertainment & travel freedom. We hear from our community of brand owners that these consumers are becoming harder to please, and that the global nature of Luxury means that retaining regular customers is a primary focus for Luxury.
In turn - the primary area of focus in Luxury for 2024 is shaping up to be “service” across every touchpoint, every channel, every interaction. Some restructuring of boutique teams is inevitable, but of course some better clientelling tech too?
- Customer retention strategy within Luxury
- The clienteling payoff - How to measure improvement?
- How to say “yes” more often

Venue
34 Mayfair - 34 Grosvenor Sq, S Audley St, London W1K 2HD
34 Mayfair’s private dining space is a culmination of the very best the district has to offer – graceful architecture, a cutting-edge art scene and a reputation for the finer things in life. Works by Tracey Emin RA line the walls and light up the room, while the oak-panelled room reflects the classic style of this most genteel of neighbourhoods, set off by red leather-backed chairs, polished wooden floors and Art Deco flourishes.
