유세떨지(brag about) 않고 쉬운 어휘로 선명한 메시지를 핀포인트해서 전달한다. less is more의 현현이다.

전문을 복사할 수 없어서 후반은 생략하고 앞부분에 대한 문단 분석
문제진단(양극화): Top earners have more disposable income than ever and will continue to spend heavily on luxury items, experiences and premium brands. However, middle-class and lower-income groups feel financial pressure and cut back their spending.
현상평가: It’s not just about money. It’s about psychology, status and even survival
대안제시(전략 전환필요): In the polarized economy, brands and retailers need to rethink their positioning, product strategy and customer engagement to stay competitive and relevant. In the polarized economy, the worst position would be the blurry middle that doesn’t belong to any side.
구체적행동: Clarity of brand positioning, price architecture and audience targeting is essential. Brands should offer product features or services that justify their price tags and add more value with tech innovations, better materials, ethical sourcing, etc. Brands should use a strong identity and purpose to break through the noise in a very crowded market and be discoverable.
업계문제 : The luxury industry is clearly facing a significant slowdown that has hit even top brands hard
대안(노출빈도): There is hope. Gen Z and millennials together accounted for almost all growth in the luxury market in recent years. Gen Z can help save the luxury industry, but not the old models. Consumers, especially younger ones, are shifting toward experiences and services rather than possession and obsession. In a polarized market, growth doesn’t come from being everything to everyone. It comes from knowing your tribe and serving them better than anyone else.

In addition, Gen Z shapes culture on platforms like TikTok and Instagram, where visibility equals value.
