In exploring the digital marketing strategies of luxury fashion brands, I conducted Google searches for five renowned names: Kate Spade, Coach, Tory Burch, Marc Jacobs, and Michael Kors. This analysis focuses on the advertisements displayed for each brand, the commercial intent behind these searches, and the quality of their respective landing pages.
“Advertising is very important. As much as you might think you know what your audience wants, it’s not until you actually see what they’re clicking on that you get a real sense of whether your message is resonating.”
— Marc Benioff, Chairman and CEO of Salesforce
Kate Spade
Ads Analysis
- Most Likely to Click: The first ad is likely to garner the most clicks due to its visually appealing nature and alignment with the user’s preferences. It offered their outlet store before their actual store. And the snippet at the top offered handbags at a discount. Aside that Kate Spade did not have a lot of ads
- Group Analysis: All ads are tailored to customers interested in designer handbags and accessories, suggesting a cohesive strategy targeting a specific segment.
- Landing Page Quality: The landing page effectively mirrors the ad’s message, presenting a range of Kate Spade products and promotions, thus increasing the likelihood of conversion.
Coach
Ads Analysis
- Most Likely to Click: The first ad, offering a discount, is likely to attract more clicks by providing an attractive incentive. Including an intersting title on different landing pages that would likely decrease bounceback rates.
- Group Analysis: All ads target consumers interested in luxury handbags and fashion, indicating a unified approach aimed at a particular audience.
- Landing Page Quality: The landing page correlates well with the ad, showcasing Coach’s product range and the discount, thereby encouraging conversion.
Tory Burch
Ads Analysis
- Most Likely to Click: The first ad, highlighting a sale on their handbags, is likely to be more appealing to potential customers.
- Group Analysis: The ads cater to individuals interested in upscale fashion and accessories, suggesting a consistent targeting strategy. I do think tory burch has the least advertising and they do not have intersting titles.
- Landing Page Quality: The landing page is in sync with the ad, displaying Tory Burch products and promotions, thus enhancing the potential for conversion. The landing page even offered a discount that was not displayed during my search. A pleasant surprise but could have been promoted more.
Marc Jacobs
Ads Analysis
- Most Likely to Click: The first ad, showcasing new arrivals, is likely to attract clicks from fashion enthusiasts seeking the latest trends.
- Group Analysis: Ads target consumers interested in high-end fashion and accessories, indicating a focused approach.
- Landing Page Quality: The landing page does not match the ad, It instead show cases new arraivals after scrolling down from the huge visuals they display promoting thwir mothers day collection. Headings are direcetly connected with images and may seem confusing to first time users. After a little scrolling I received a small pop up that gave me an offer for free shipping, which is very nice especially if shopping for items with a higher price.
Michael Kors
Ads Analysis
- Most Likely to Click: The first search result is likely to entice clicks from bargain-seeking consumers. The snippet can also be intersting because it will tell you how many people have viewed the product, price, and if their is any discount.
- Group Analysis: Ads target individuals interested in luxury fashion and accessories, suggesting a consistent marketing approach.
- Landing Page Quality: The landing page is aligned with the ad, featuring Michael Kors products and the advertised discount at the very top, likely prompting conversions. The landing page took me exactly to their new arraivals. Once you arraive to the landing page, they immediatley ask you to sign up to be a VIP member and receive 10% off your first purchase.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the advertisements for these luxury fashion brands are strategically crafted to appeal to customers interested in upscale fashion and accessories. The landing pages are designed to mirror the ad messages effectively, thereby increasing the likelihood of conversion. The absence of ads for a few of the brands could be attributed to various factors, including marketing strategies or lower competition for that specific keyword.
- Improvements: Each brand can improve their ads by focusing on more compelling and personalized ad copy, such as highlighting unique selling points or limited-time offers.
- Conversions: To increase conversions, brands can optimize their landing pages for faster loading times and clearer calls to action, ensuring a seamless shopping experience.
- Quality: Enhancing the quality of ads and landing pages can be achieved by regularly updating content, using high-quality images, and ensuring consistency in branding and messaging.

Great job! I enjoyed reading your post and I noticed with a brand such as Marc Jacobs for example, the top bags that appear are the widely known “The Tote Bag”. With how popular they are I can see why they are the first to appear

I think it’s interesting with Coach how they offer a discount automatically. Most luxury brands don’t offer any discounts so its very admirable to offer one right off the bat.
