James Lawson, director of Ledbury Research, said: "Behind some buoyant numbers, this year's results reveal the key theme of innovation for the British luxury market. "Innovation from the brands - including their use of technology and social media - and a next generation of new and inquisitive luxury consumers who are voracious users of these new platforms." Mark Haviland, managing director of Rakuten Marketing, said: Its absolutely right that digital innovation is a priority for luxury brands. Customers no longer only associate shopping online with bargains and as a result digital now opens many doors for high-end retailers, allowing them to create an exclusive shopping experience for their online audience across the web, social, mobile and tablet. An array of style blogs and pioneering digital publishers can provide luxury retailers with the e-commerce tools to target hyper connected consumers, whilst echoing their own quality brand values at the same time. Through sophisticated features, such as dynamic ads with 360 degree products views and interactive video, digital can truly drive the growth of luxury."
