Short and sweet description of what we do,

1. We at The Lilian Raji Agency are quite inspired by what is
occurring on the world stage. Opportunity is ripe for
authentic prestige brands – those of quality, refinement,
innovation and legacy – to emerge triumphantly after an
era run amok with excess and vulgarity. The journey for
luxury to reclaim its luster has begun. We are here to help
you navigate the course.
Vive la révolution!
In these troubled times, many experts will herald the death
of luxury. If you are a true luxury purveyor, you will not
flinch. You will do what true luxury purveyors have done
for hundreds of years in up, and down, cycles: execute the
fundamentals as inspired and defined by your customers'
needs and desires, consistently and extraordinarily well.
Men and women who achieve the best will always seek the
best of everything. That is why luxury has brands that span
centuries, while most other industries don't.

2. anifesto
e once hailed the vast amount of wealth the US has seen over the
past few years and the countless opportunities luxury brands had to fill
their coffers. Times have changed, and the US is facing the worst economic
crisis since the Great Depression. We've been asked our thoughts on this
crisis and how luxury companies can survive. Our counsel has not
changed - build relationships with your customers.
The challenges premium brands are currently facing were created by the
very opportunities that originally fueled their growth. From the influx of
overnight millionaires with demands for more, luxury companies increased
their production and created brand extensions to meet every scale of
luxury buyer – whether the $200 handbag luxury customers or customers
defining luxury as a $75,000 wristwatch. The gilded age is over, and new
values created by hard-learned economic lessons are now redefining what
motivates a person to buy luxury.
This coming era produces a challenge for prestige goods companies
previously captivated by the demand for more. Projections based on
earlier sales are now unrealistic and portfolios are beleaguered by brand
extensions that no longer move as quickly as before.
We believe prestige companies can weather the times if they embrace
strategies to solidify relationships with existing customers while educating
prospective customers on the history, authenticity, quality and value of a
premium purchase. The tide will change, and purse strings will loosen once
more. Yet only the companies who remained relevant to their customers’
emotional needs now will remain strong.
We are here to help those companies who wish to persevere in this time of
uncertainty.

3. he Lilian Raji Agency was inspired by firsthand witness of the emotions accompanying luxury goods purchases
~ make no mistake about it – the pursuit of luxury is a passionate endeavor. The founder’s experience as a sales
associate of Tourneau Watches Inc offered tremendous insight into the impetus behind spending tens of thousands
of dollars on an instrument whose primary purpose is to tell time.
Premium goods companies know the luxury buyer isn’t like everyone else – but it goes a little deeper than this. During
her time at Tourneau, Lilian observed how a person religious about cutting coupons before grocery shopping
transforms into another persona in the presence of prestige items, especially when the history surrounding the
product was compellingly told. After a sale, customers would return with their friends just to have Lilian tell their
friends the legacy behind the watch.
Lilian saw the impact of well written articles in delivering passionate customers through the door, and how casually
name-dropping an influential figure who happened to own a similar watch helped customers feel good about buying.
What often closed a sale, however, was giving the customer an opportunity to experience ownership – whether
through invitations to special events given by the watch company or by gentle suggestions to preen and pose with
the watch before a mirror. Ultimately, regular application of these insights helped make Lilian one of the leading and
youngest sales associate at Tourneau.
In creating The Lilian Raji Agency, Lilian recognized the contribution of each scenario in persuading customers to
buy. The services offered by The Lilian Raji Agency are based on this fundamental understanding that emotions –
whether created through a compelling story, a personal experience, or validation of one’s decisions reflected by a
similar decision from a highly respected leader – are the secret to selling premium goods.
We extend to you strategic counsel, marketing and public
relations services based on personal experiences selling
premium goods to your customers.
remium Value With our understanding of luxury purchase
motivators, we develop strategies to ensure customers ask for
you by name. We remain current on buying habits of luxury
consumers by communicating regularly with our friends in
luxury retail sales and our “brain trust” of high net worth

We are obsessively compulsive about delivering a
return on investment – so much so that you’ll hear from us
regularly. You’ll receive frequent updates about what we’re
doing and recommendations on how you can best maximize
our services. We come to you with ideas and treat your
business as if it were our own.

your budget. Our Atlanta base allows for minimal overhead
while our relationships and monthly travel to New York City

4. ive Ways to Remain Relevant
to the Luxury Customer
1. Tell them a story they can embrace.
When your customer is complimented while wearing your product, does she just say
“thank you” or does she go into the history of your company and why she made the
purchase? The difference between the two is that a customer who goes into detail about
the product is not only passionate about your brand, she has also embraced your legacy.
She has become your ultimate brand advocate.
We can help you weave a story so involving, so compelling, that customers become moved
to partake of the story by making your product their own. Our Marketing
Communications Service translates your story into a language for which customers
become fluent. We then communicate this story through every point of contact between
you and your customer, from development of your written materials to your website
creation and beyond.
2. Let them learn about you in their own way and at their own time.
Volna - Elite Traveler
Mathon Paris - Couture International Jeweler What is the difference between your brand and your top four
competitors? You know the answer, but your target
customers may not. Given the abundance of choices today,
customers will do their research before making an expensive
buy. And despite some apprehension luxury companies have
about the internet, please understand that a dialogue is being
had about you online. You have the power to direct its tone.
Our Traditional and Social Media Relations Service ensures
the information found about you is accurate and reflects your
best light. Our relationships span the print, broadcast and
Dubey & Schaldenbrand - Upscale
online world, putting you in front of the editors, writers,
producers and bloggers whose opinions can determine how
your company is perceived.
The pen (or in this age, the key stroke) is truly mightier than
the sword, and being able to inspire what a powerful pen
writes determines how your brand is distinguished from your
competitors.

5. 3. Give them an experience that speaks louder than words.
Pause for a moment to recall the best event you’ve ever attended. We’ll wait.
Now recall how you felt afterward.
Personal experiences are by far the single greatest determinant in making a decision to
buy. Allowing customers to experience your brand, whether through involvement in or
creation of a special event, will leave an indelible footprint in their minds that no amount of
advertising can replicate.
Our Experiential Event Services engineer moments for your customers to develop personal
relationships with your brand. We can design and execute a glamorously unique event or find
established opportunities to integrate your brand. Whichever option you choose, we ensure
your customers’ delight when recollecting the event - and your brand.
4. Show them the people they admire also admire you.
We all have our own unique style. Yet seeing someone we
highly respect and admire wearing something that we also
own, well, it’s hard to resist patting ourselves on the back for
making a good purchase decision.
Opinion leaders – those who are often quoted in the media
and have a loyal following of people who value their beliefs
– can make your brand even more desirable simply through
their association. Our Influencer Outreach Service delivers
your brand into the radar of the world’s most respected
pioneers.
5. Work with other companies that they like.
We believe the notion that two heads work better than one is not just sage advice, it’s also
good business. Our Strategic Partnership Service helps you find your second head.
We look for other companies that don’t necessarily do the same thing as you, yet working with
them will help you reach a larger, perhaps newer audience than before. We work with you in
defining what your ideal partnership looks like, then embark on finding companies matching
your qualifications, bringing both of you together to expand your individual market shares.

6. learly the marketing challenge today is not just finding an agency that can effectively communicate
the value of a premium purchase, but also finding an agency that can unapologetically deliver a measurable
return on investment. We at The Lilian Raji Agency pride ourselves on an obsessive attention to
demonstrating ROI while initiating creative, innovative and cost effective strategies that persuade
prospective customers to give your brand due diligence. Choosing The Lilian Raji Agency is a smart
business decision that aligns your objectives with an agency fastidious about delivering results.
