A investigação tem como objetivo compreender de que forma os novos media contribuem para
a perceção do consumidor de luxo, com especial foco na preservação do carácter de
exclusividade das marcas.
A abordagem adotada é qualitativa, onde se recorreu à entrevista a consumidores do género
feminino de marcas de luxo, com o objetivo de identificar e analisar comportamentos, padrões
e tendências. As entrevistas foram realizadas a 14 consumidoras de marcas de luxo, com idades
compreendidas entre os 23 e 58 anos de idade. Desta forma, procurou-se estudar a
complexidade e subjetividade dos diferentes grupos, além de conhecer a motivação para alguns
comportamentos e atitudes. O objetivo era responder à questão de investigação sobre como a
comunicação das marcas de luxo nas redes sociais influencia a perceção do consumidor e se
permite preservar a exclusividade das marcas.
Os resultados demonstram que, por um lado, simbolizam uma oportunidade para conquistar
um público mais abrangente e reforçam a identidade da marca. Ao mesmo tempo, constitui
alguns desafios, dado que é necessário equilibrar a fácil acessibilidade das plataformas à
exclusividade e prestígio que caracteriza estas marcas. Os resultados demonstram que as redes
sociais têm um impacto significativo na comunicação das marcas de luxo, sendo que oferecem
desafios e oportunidades para comunicar a sua exclusividade. Em particular, o Instagram
destaca-se como a ferramenta privilegiada para comunicar o fator aspiracional deste segmento,
essencial para a perceção das marcas de luxo. A seleção de imagens e conteúdos de alta
qualidade, ou seja, conteúdos com estética refinada, fotografias de alta resolução e com um
design que segue uma identidade visual consistente, com cores, elementos gráficos alinhados
com a marca, foram aspetos frequentemente mencionados para garantir a sofisticação das
marcas.
No que diz respeito às estratégias utilizadas pelas marcas de moda, as que têm maior resposta
junto do consumidor incluem o storytelling e conteúdos visuais atrativos, que asseguram uma experiência imersiva nas marcas, permitindo uma maior aproximação com o público-alvo. As
entrevistadas ressaltaram que o desejo do luxo é potenciado quando a marca constrói narrativas
envolventes. Os resultados apontam para a importância que estas narrativas se adaptem às
dinâmicas digitais para manter vivos os valores inatos ao seu ADN, nomeadamente a tradição,
como forma de preservar a autenticidade da marca.
