Vente-privée: an other “cocoon” and exclusive manner to do luxury purchases simply without moving from home. Its low prices increase the purchasing power and offer a feeling of abundance. More over, its concept of exclusivity meets the need for identification to the elite.
The customer profits from reduction all year during with a top-of-the-range service and high quality of product.
An idyllic universe which draws the dream cherishes the ego and protects by offering times of revocation.
We can be rocked, to allow ourselves to buy and to return the whole! Saving time and money…
Ultimately a magic box which makes it possible to carry out its whims…

Because I wanted to explore more inside Vente-privée you will find a link to the management of this success story.

A model company link

Vente-privée based his management strategy on responsibility and bounties, innovation and family atmosphere.
Employees are independent; they are able to be promoted quickly and they can take decision in time thanks to the high visibility on market…
Therefore motivation is a daily feeling within Vente-privée, a company which offers very good works condition and a very nice environment (Modern Art, Good restaurant).
At the end, is monitoring his work force and all its logistic by itself: A human and economic power.

Why not?

I was thinking about using this business model for medicines.
If drugs companies can outflow their stock they automatically reduce costs and we can see further by thinking that this kind of business can be ethical.
I m sure that brokerage and advertising adding to the power of the net will help more people around the world to access to adequate medicines. More over all the critiques about the eventuality to create diseases to be able to sell more will be reduced. Don’t you think so?

As far as I m concerned I never eared about that kid of direct and discounted sales on internet.

THE LONg tail___________________
While the past claimed the Adam Smith's Invisible Hand,
Present uncovers the Chris Andersons’s Long Tail !
The editor-in-chief of Wired Magazine, Chris Anderson distracts attention from the classic economy’s way proving the high impact of the numerous small things.
The author chooses the image of a fine tail which gets longer and longer to show the importance of the high number of none "best seller" products which create new business opportunity.
Actually, the unlimited E business’s market dimension defines a radical change of the economic environment.
This is the chance of scarcity and the time of abundances, a kind of life cycle’s rebirth!

In one hand , the customers’ charge concept even transcends the liberalism’s vision of economic freedom.
Because of the absence of physical distribution, there is no more profitability constrains of the place.
The online business really permits a niche offer responding to individual need even if it’s not a famous good or a success story service.
More than responsible of the economic wave, the e-demand is aware to express its tastes creating a pro-active supply and demand.
In second hand, the Long Tail also impulses suggesting offer.
It may influence and create an artificial demand.
Therefore, we can easy wonder if customer’s in charge is in reality just a deceptive image hiding a powerful marketing manipulation.

Nevertheless, the pro active concept applies perfectly to the cultural and non materialistic product as travel’s sale.
The Travel's sniffer of KUONI tour operator exemplifies both points of view.
The "sniffer" offers a pro active "travel shopping" thanks to a “made to measure” travel offering and unusual destination proposition.
Results: big sales fitting with individual taste, budget and desire.
It is the expression of travellers' inspiration and the suggestion of Kuoni expertise. http://www.kuoni.ch/fr/pages/default.aspx
