ON-GROUND VISUAL COMMUNICATION Louis Vuitton is the primary reason why the LVMH company has had such an enormous global success in the luxury marketplace.

The Louis Vuitton Flagship Store for Japan is designed by UNStudio. A ten-story landmark building, this flagship store contains retail, café, spa, bookstore, event and exhibition space, with the design intention of blending classical and modern qualities that make up the essence of the Louis Vuitton company, its products, its history, and its future. This could be Louis Vuitton's Milestone moment because it is presenting a new effective form of the luxury retail boutique.

The modern interior design also speaks to the younger consumers The use of natural color wood shows cares for sustainability The color and the material of the mat on the bench is a great example of Louis Vuitton embracing the Japanese culture

STORE IN STORE Rather than selling their products to department stores to display and price as they please, many luxury brands now operate concessions or store-within-a-store. Louis Vuitton is a good example of it. The brands rent space inside large, high-end department store chains, such as Lenox Square or The Mall at Millennia, and build their own mini-stores.

Depending on the contract, Louis Vuitton operating its own in-store concession may also be free to hire its own staff and decide what products to stock and when to markdown prices. This control helps prevent the products from being marked down too frequently or by too much, cheapening the brand.

LOGISTIC CENTER

Louis Vuitton has been defined by a pioneering spirit since its founding in 1854, making it natural that the House also be a trailblazer in environmental performance. Achieving certification for the Supply Chain thus carries on this legacy. In 2013 Louis Vuitton became the first French company to earn ISO 14001 certification (the global benchmark Environmental Management System) for a portion of its supply chain.

As the result of more than 20 years of environmental commitment, this certification process mobilized all Louis Vuitton teams, especially Supply Chain & Logistics and Environment & Innovation teams. The team also benefited from close cooperation with the LVMH Environmental Department and its auditors.

"THE REASON I COLLABORATE WITH LOUIS VUITTON…" “…is that Louis Vuitton is number one in the world, and I am honored to work with them,” Yayoi Kusama once said. Her words best encapsulate the sentiment behind the history of LV and artistry collaborations. Louis Vuitton’s distinction and renown make it an honor to be chosen as an artist to create something with the brand.

Louis Vuitton has been very successful at taking advantage of these collaborating opportunities to delight their customers in unexpected ways with the innovative use of visual communication.

RECOMMENDATIONS Website

Social Media

Store

Louis Vuitton should include a gift tab on its official website. In this section, a line of popular chosen gifts will be presented to the consumer.

Louis Vuitton should be more active on social media and post contents more frequently because the majority of their target customer spends a lot of time on their phone.

It would be better to use different country's local elements more obviously especially in the Asian market because of the rich historical background.
