Louis Vuitton has multiple avenues of communicating their brand to the public. Because Vuitton is so well know, they use word of mouth and person to person advertising as a major tool for advertising. They do however run high fashion print ads, and their Core Values campaign as advertisement.
Like I have mentioned in other posts, their advertisements lack the words "Louis Vuitton". Their monogramed canvas and logo is so identifiable by the public, they do not need to print the name.
In recent years, Vuitton began streaming their fashion shows, which made the shows, once only available to the fashion crowd and celebrities, now accessible to the world. (See consumer decision making for video) Through mass communication, Vuitton has gained the interest of both the wealthy and middle class. Somehow, they have mastered the art of "less is more" communication to the public, still maintaining a sense of mystery, yet they still appear as an attainable brand.
Through the "pull strategy", consumers that own and carry the brands merchandise act as walking advertisements. Most of these people are among the wealthy middle-upper class, acting as "role models" to others in society. This idea of consumers advertising creates a demand among other people who like and want to buy the product, thus, bringing people into the store and creating revenue.
Overall, Vuitton is a master at mass communication. Their messages are never clouded by "noise", sending clear and concise messages to their target market. This is why Vuitton is the most valuable luxury brand.
