NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - November 03, 2015) - The independent and objective New York-based Luxury Institute surveyed women with minimum annual household income of $150,000 to find out how well the advertising and social media marketing of individual brands resonate with affluent women. Using results of the same survey from 2012 provides a benchmark to gauge changes in how women view the marketing of these brands.
Through unaided response, the top ten brands that high-income women cite as doing the best job connecting with them through their marketing efforts are: Dove, Macy's, L'Oreal, Target, Nordstrom, Estee Lauder, Procter & Gamble, Revlon, Coach and Sephora. Dove has seen the biggest increase in approval of its marketing efforts since 2012.
Specifically regarding social media marketing through networks like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, the only two brands identified for excellence by more than 2% of affluent women are Dove and Macy's. Dove shows a sizable improvement from 2012.
"Many brands devote a significant amount of resources to marketing efforts, so it makes sense to know how effective these campaigns are," says Luxury Institute CEO Milton Pedraza. "Measuring results and tracking them over time provides decision makers with the data they need when deciding the best efforts at outreach with wealthy women."
Respondents reported average household income of $289,000, and $2.9 million average net worth.
