Marketing has become an essential element in the success of any business or investment in the current era, and an important factor in increasing profits and promoting the name of any business globally. From here, our website had the opportunity to meet businessman Fares Ghattas, the Global CEO of the world’s leading luxury affinity marketing and networking group, The Luxury Network, and talk about his prestigious group. 1. Fares, as the Global CEO of the world’s leading luxury affinity marketing and networking group, The Luxury Network International, to date what has been the most unprecedented partnership developed between brands within the private membership company? One of the most unparalleled partnerships made was when our global member Bombardier Skyjet sold over $1 million worth of 25-hour jet cards in less than 12 months through The Luxury Network, on a corporate and private client basis. 2. The Luxury Network International has been named by the British media the “next generation of marketing for luxury brands.” Please share some of the things that The Luxury Network International has been most successful in offering to its premium luxury brand members in terms of brand marketing that makes the organization stand out that it is? Our network is well-known for its unique project collaborations that we host and organize. We offer complimentary VVIP access to our brand members’ events attended exclusively by A-listers only. 3. The Luxury Network International is a private membership club that is unparalleled in international luxury brand networking. Can you share some of the rewarding networking membership benefits that Luxury Network International provides?

Through The Luxury Network, new business partnerships are being created via strategic alignment, joint collaborations, product placements, endorsements, media sharing, B2B and B2C networking, sales, luxury showcase events, and numerous other affinity marketing activities. 4. Being an affinity marketing and networking group, are there specific business development growth patterns that you notice within the companies that join your luxury network? Each month, we receive a business development report from our members through our global offices, which gives us an overview of each members’ growth over their membership years with us. We have introduced each member with the other members, hence, they were able to create partnerships which gave them the opportunity to meet the other members’ HNW clients that lead to our members’ increase in sales and visibility. 5. What types of events does The Luxury Network International produce for its active members, and will you share with us what you would consider being one of the greatest values provided to your members when they attend the organization's luxury events? We host and organize B2B and B2C networking events annually that make headlines regionally and globally, regardless of the size of the event. The largest event we host annually is The Luxury Network Awards, it is an international awards night that recognizes our members globally, across all the luxury sectors, for their initiatives and achievements. Our mission is to create a networking platform providing new business opportunities for all of our esteemed members. 6. I’ve learned of the existence of the Luxury Network International’s Exclusive VIP Champagne Trip. I am intrigued by the name alone. Can you tell us about this trip? The Exclusive VIP Trip to the Champagne region in France was designed by The Luxury Network Germany ultimately for the top customers of its members. Due to the overwhelming success and the strictly limited number of participants of the event, the network hosted another exclusive trip to Champagne on the year 2018 where a group of like-minded connoisseurs and super-sports car owners came together in the heart of the Palatinate vineyards for a 3-day “VIP Pommery Experience.” The Luxury Network along with the event partners can always look back on that successful weekend event with tremendously positive feedback from the participants. 7.
