According to a recent report from Moodys.com, ”Global luxury retailers earnings growth could nearly double in 2017 (4% in 2016 to 7% in 2017).“
“US firms Tiffany & Co. (NYSE:TIF) and Ralph Lauren Corporation (NYSE:RL) will cut capex and shareholder remuneration to maintain stable leverage in the face of a slowdown in earnings growth into 2018 as a result of a strong dollar, department store deterioration and operating issues. On the other hand, The Estée Lauder Companies, Inc. (NYSE:EL) should perform well thanks to its good international diversification and its portfolio of well-recognized brands.”
The report goes on to note, “Factors facing the luxury goods sector include rising competition, which is pushing some to improve productivity. Many luxury groups also intend to reduce their reliance on department stores, particularly in the US where companies such as Macy's, Inc., Kohl's Corporation or Nordstrom, Inc., (NYSE:JWN) have been hard-hit by changing shopping trends, lower mall traffic and competition from online and off-price retailers.“
ccording to key findings from another research group, Bain & Company, the world’s leading advisor to the global luxury goods industry in the “Bain Luxury Study 2017 Spring Update: “The luxury market is set to get back to growth in 2017. A firm Chinese rebound with purchasing both at home and overseas as well as increasing customer confidence in Europe will boost global personal luxury goods market growth by 2-4 percent (at constant exchange rates) in 2017 to €254-259 billion. As the gap between winners and losers continues to widen, brands must rethink their strategies and adapt to a millennial state of mind, which will be a key driver to push the market to €290 billion in sales by 2020.”
One emerging company determined to capitalize on the growth trend is Reign Sapphire Corp. (OTCQB: RGNP), a direct-to-consumer, branded and custom jewelry company. Reign just announced its launch of a division that focuses exclusively on delivering its unique custom jewelry to the corporate and business gift market segment.
The new division was created in response to growing demand from corporate clients such as Hawaiian Airlines with its Breast Cancer Awareness campaign and a Super Bowl featured National Football League (NFL) team.
The personalized gifts segment is part of the corporate and business recognition market, a field increasingly dependent on technology enabled customization and one in which Reign maintains a competitive edge.
Entry into the segment provides an opportunity to boost higher margin sales due to the minimum order quantity and the less work required to customize batch orders.
One corporate order can result in hundreds of new Reign retail customers who will be introduced to Reign's niche custom brands through the gifts received from their corporate partner.
"This natural extension of Reign's unique custom offering provides organizations an exciting new range of options with which to recognize the efforts of employees, customers, vendors and other stakeholders," commented Joseph Segelman, Reign CEO. "The initiative evolved from an increasing number of orders from large organizations and our recognition of its potential as a highly profitable business segment."
