4. Rationale

The reason - as points - behind this matta

The Market:

  • ‘Bling’ and ‘luxury’ are important components in attracting talent, finance, wealthy people, increasing tourism.
  • The market is increasing

The SilvaRing:

  • Silva has luxury products such as watches, pianos, fashion.

Providers / Manufactures:

  • More marketing is beneficial for all.

Supporting the Lux Provider community:

  • A catalog - or the presentation of what is available - can help support common marketing efforts, upmarketing, upselling, cross-selling.
  • A ‘State-of-the-Nation’ Report can be benficial for involved parties (incl. politics) in detecting what needs to be done, improved, etc.

Silva services:

  • A dedicated Line - as a handle - supports cross-pollination activities with other Lines.
  • The focus on Luxury creates an awareness which can support the discovery or development of new luxury products or services.
  • It might be that the Federal States already have their own Luxury catalogs for their own areas. This Line can be used as a handle to pool them together for the Silva area.

12. Notes

Sketches, planning notes, calculations, etc.

12.1 Name

The name stub ‘Lux’ is an abbreviation of Luxury, but it is also the unit of illuminance i.e. the brightness of an object. This is used here as a playful reference to the brightness of ‘luxury’ - that the brighter it is, the more ‘money’ it will atract, and vice versa.
