Patek Philippe doesn't need to be highly-ranked digital IQ since the product needs to be rather seen and felt in person. They're not trying to sell the item online...
Hermes is changing their website, you can now buy most items on the Hermes website (with the exception of Birkin and Kelley handbags).
Surprised that Lamborghini has more Facebook friends than Ferrari. But I'm biased, I consider myself more of a Maranello man. Despite this, I disagree with the study's assessment of the Ferrari website, I think the Ferrari website is slow, painful to use, and absolutely terrible. The largest complaint about the Ferrari Owner's website is it is slow and it is not region-specific (Americans see everything in terms of European specifications).
Does Champagne really need a website? How many bottles of Dom and Veuve Cliquot have I consumed and never once visited their website? I've been red in the face many times (I don't drink large quantities, I simply get red after a single flute) and I have yet to even visit their website once. I really don't care about my champagne's website, just want it chilled.
Hotels; the Waldorf Hotel website isn't that bad, I use the website from the Hilton portal, which is good (Waldorf hotels are partnered/owned by the Hilton group).
Overall, I agree with some of it, but I don't agree with all of it. Still, a thought-provoking read for someone who is keenly aware of marketing.
Thanks for sharing!
