Transumers

 

Luxury consumers are spending more on life-changing experiences, while their need for luxury goods is waning

I’ve been watching the growing trend away from ownership of luxury items to experiential life-changing event participation and fractional ownership. Then today I received this link to Trend Watchers talking about the “Transumer”. It is fascinating to see the emergence of the consumer dedicated to trying a wide variety of luxury slices. Read the full report here. I had three new business ideas by the time I finished reading it.

Of great interest is also the emergence of eBay as the trading ground for this trend.
