In 2022, Louis Vuitton's sales surpassed the historic €20 billion mark and were well ahead of the sales of other competing luxury brands that year. Moreover, compared to the first half of 2022 results, sales in the first half of 2023 continue to rise. Based on this, by analyzing the marketing strategy of Louis Vuitton, this paper can conclude that cooperation with celebrities, co-branding with other industries and deep localization are the three main marketing methods of the brand. In addition, by combining 4Ps marketing theory, the advantages and disadvantages of the company's marketing strategy are analyzed from different perspectives, so as to better understand LVMH's business model and development direction. This essay aims to discuss how exactly these marketing strategies are used to ensure Louis Vuitton’s success.
