Selling Mystique

Exclusionary and elusive experiences appeal to consumers

Implications - Exclusivity remains at the top of what is appealing and sexy in the minds of consumers, despite the recession. They want to feel as if they are a part of a select elite group, even if it is only a temporary illusion. The more privileged a consumer feels for having access to a product or service, the more the added level of mystique will sell.
