Marketing strategy for the super rich
High net worth individual market in Japan has significantly changed.
Many first class companies, whether they are domestic or foreign owned, has made a great effort to entice 1.82 million high net worth individual market*1
In 2008, the financial markets around the world collapsed and some people became more conservative in even allocating their financial assets to lower risk products from higher risk ones. Others, however, took an advantage of real estate market deterioration and purchased real estate properties at lower prices. Compared to corporates or fund management companies, they are much more active in investment.
There are many people in this class who had barely changed their behavior toward spending, saving and investing patterns. Typically those people have managed their assets investing in lower risk financial products over the time. You are sure to receive good responses by targeting these people with a proper marketing approach.
Landscape has collected, compiled and analyzed 95 million records of consumers since we started business. You can directly contact each and every millionaire with this database we have extracted what we consider to be high net worth individuals out of the 9.5 million master database.
