Increasingly, luxury brands join forces with the arts today. Yet, these cross-over collaborations do not constitute a homogeneous strategy, but become manifest in manifold forms and appearances. Regardless of their growing practical relevance for the creation of contemporary luxury brands though, the varied forms of Luxury Brand-Art Collaborations (LBACs) have remained largely unexplored to date. Olga Louisa Kastner aims at systematizing the dominating collaborative patterns between luxury brands and the arts. She empirically derives distinct types of LBACs, based on methodically developed attributes and a large number of real cases. Finally, the author describes the main characteristics of the identified types and illustrates them by prototypical cases.

Diese Arbeit untersucht das Erfolgspotential von Pop-Up-Stores in der Modebranche. Dies sind temporäre Verkaufskanäle, die unter anderem mit Guerilla Marketing und Konsumentenforschung arbeiten. Ähnlich wie Showrooms gehören sie zu den sogenannten Multi-Channel-Konzepten, die sich aus der steigenden Verbreiterung des E-Commerce und sich wandelnden Kundenwünschen entwickelten. Der E-Commerce nahm bereits 2012 ein Marktvolumen von 70% ein und verzeichnet eine weiterhin steigende Tendenz. Hinzu kommt, dass die Kunden zunehmend das Erlebnis beim Einkauf und die Einzigartigkeit und Seltenheit von Produkten schätzen. So steigert z.B. die Knappheit von Produkten ihre Attraktivität. Inwiefern die Pop-Up-Stores diesen neuen Entwicklungen erfolgreich begegnen können, wird das vorliegende Buch unter anderem mit Hilfe von Experteninterviews und mit einem Scoringmodell beantworten. Zudem bietet dieses Buch den Teilnehmern der Modebranche Handlungsempfehlungen für eigene Pop-up-Projekte an.
