Lessons for Gucci from CHANEL: Experience Comes Before Impressions. In Shanghai's spring relay of luxury pop-ups, feedback has been bipolar as Chanel enchanted while Gucci faced backlash. 🔍 Quick Event Stats Comparison: · Weibo Views: Gucci Ancora 188M vs. Chanel Nuit Blanche 22M · Efficiency on Red: Gucci 119 vs. Chanel 51 engagements per post · DORIS Sentiment Radar: Gucci's pop-up received 52% positive feedback, overshadowed by Chanel's staggering 94%. 🔻 Where Gucci Missed the Mark: - Inattentive staff - Shortage of gifts - Long waits for a small exhibit - Lackluster interior design without a photogenic backdrop 🔺 Chanel's Masterstrokes: - A seamless WeChat booking system that whisked guests past queues - Generous welcome packs and samples made every attendee feel special - Diverse photogenic settings sparked exploration and UGC content - Makeup classes and hand care services elevated experience - A cleverly placed "supermarket" of Chanel merchandise tied the journey together, encouraging purchasing behavior It’s evident that Gucci’s strategy leaned heavily on celebrity clout, perhaps at the expense of thoughtful event design and execution. Chanel, conversely, wove magic into the details, prioritizing an immersive and rewarding guest experience. 💡 As experience becomes an increasingly integral part of personal luxury, can luxury brands' expertise evolve quickly to stay competitive? #LuxuryBranding #EventMarketing #BrandExperience #GucciAncora #ChanelNuitBlanche #ChinaMarketing #ChinaLuxuryFashion

Selina Wang very interesting example of dos and donts when it comes to craft a Luxury experience! Success also depends on how much customer/visitor-centric it is.
