<a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/category/e-commerce">E-commerce</a> is great for a lot of things — <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/amazon-prime-shopping-rule-saves-me-money-2024-4">snagging sales</a>, stocking up on staples, buying stupid stuff we really do not need. But people's voracious appetite for online shopping does appear to have its limits, specifically when it comes to luxury.The expectation has long been that e-commerce would revolutionize luxury, just as it has so much of retail. It killed many <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/shopping-mall-rise-fall-timeline-1950s-to-today-2023-1">malls</a> and bookstores; it made Walmart <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/what-is-walmart-marketplace-for-third-party-sellers2023-12">go digital</a>; it transformed shipment and logistics operations across the globe. So why wouldn't it disrupt such an expensive, lucrative space?It turns out we still like to buy the nicest, most expensive items in real life, in large part because we want a luxury experience when we spend the big bucks. We like to feel fancy when we shop fancy, and dropping stuff into a virtual cart on a random website in between meetings is far from most people's definition of fancy.A recent survey from Morning Consult, a business intelligence company, explored how consumers look at luxury. It found that people generally have a strong preference for a brick-and-mortar experience when buying luxury items. Of those surveyed, 49% said they would consider buying luxury clothing or shoes from a brick-and-mortar store and 48% said the same of jewelry and watches. Thirty-nine percent said they would consider buying handbags and 40% said they would consider buying cosmetics and fragrances in a store. In every category, under 20% of consumers said they would consider making those purchases online. Gen Z was slightly more open to e-commerce and less interested in the brick-and-mortar experience, but not always by a meaningful margin. Less than 10% of all consumers said they'd buy luxury products through social media, though that number got up to the high teens for Gen Z.Consumers also said customer service was the second-most-important attribute in defining luxury shopping, right behind the quality of the product. In other words, they don't just want to buy something special — they want to be treated special while they do it."The No. 1 reason people like to shop in stores is because they want that experience of browsing and touching things and playing with things," Claire Tassin, a retail and e-commerce analyst at Morning Consult, said. "Customer service, especially in a luxury environment, is such a big part of how you justify the additional expense."Online luxury sales <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/americans-feel-financially-insecure-wont-stop-luxury-shopping-millennials-genz-2024-5">picked up during the pandemic</a> but have since come back down to earth. Some important names in the fashion e-commerce space, such as Matches Fashion and Farfetch, have cratered. The German-based platform Mytheresa is doing OK — its net sales grew by 18% in the quarter ending in March — but its stock is still down by more than 80% from its IPO price in January 2021. The private companies Moda Operandi and Ssense seem to be selling merchandise and retaining customers, experts say, but the sites have a niche appeal, so that's hardly made a dent. The overarching theme is that many consumers haven't warmed up to shopping luxury — namely, ultra-luxe items and brands — online. Jason Goldberg, the chief commerce strategy officer at Publicis Groupe, a global marketing firm, said the jury is still out on whether e-commerce will ever take over luxury retail, but for now, there aren't great examples of <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/internet-biggest-businesses-have-growth-problem-2024-1">"runaway successes" in the space</a>. There's no single answer as to why. One reasonable hypothesis could be that people simply prefer to get high-consideration and high-priced items in store, he said. What they get out of a luxury in-store experience hasn't been translated online."We try to treat luxury with the same e-commerce experience we use for paper towels, and that just doesn't work," Goldberg said. "In general, online, we have gotten very, very good at needs-fulfillment buying, but we are sucky at discovery. Nobody goes to Amazon because they go, 'I'm just in the mood to treat myself.'"When unplanned purchases happen online, they tend to happen through social discovery. You see something <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/social-shopping-what-social-media-sites-doing-win-e-commerce-2022-10">on Instagram or TikTok </a>and then you buy it. Those types of <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/impulse-spending-retirement-delayed-2024-5">impulse purchases</a> are fine to make with a few clicks, but when people spend the big bucks, they want to feel a little pampered."It is fair to say that going to a luxury store is part of the pleasure of buying a luxury product," said Luca Solca, a senior analyst covering global luxury goods at Bernstein. "Buying online is convenient and fast. But buying in store is a pleasure."An analysis from Bain &amp; Company found that the share of luxury goods sold online fell to 20% in 2023, after hitting 22% in 2020 and 2021. Solca believes 20% is on the high side and said that on average, the percentage of online sales in the luxury market hovers around the mid-teens, and sometimes even lower, noting that Burberry recently told him they were at 9%.For the most part, luxury brands prefer that customers would rather shop in-store. Sure, they all have some kind of online presence — it is 2024 after all — but not all of their products are always available online, and the internet is far from the primary area of focus. For the most high-end products, <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/things-learned-buying-luxury-watches-2023-11">there can even be waiting lists</a>. The general aversion to e-commerce makes sense: One way to convince people you're selling a luxury item, and price it accordingly, is to make it scarce and elusive, on top of providing the in-store luxury experience. It helps companies create and keep an aura around their brands."Luxury brands historically have actually stayed away from being very strong in the online channel, largely to do with the fact that they didn't want to be a cheap marketplace," said Nora Kleinewillinghoefer, a partner in the consumer and retail practice at Kearney, a strategy and management-consulting firm. "For them, it's about the storytelling." There are some exceptions here. The online diamond dealer Blue Nile is a giant in the engagement-ring space, and consumers are increasingly comfortable with buying their cars online. High-end beauty products can do well in e-commerce — once you know what shade of foundation or eye shadow you like, you don't need to keep going into the store. The online marketplace <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/guides/style/the-real-real-review">The RealReal</a> sells a fair amount of secondhand designer and luxury merchandise, though it has long struggled with profitability. But outside these niche exceptions, high-end, luxury e-commerce isn't really a big thing yet. There's no super-prosperous Amazon for Gucci and Prada out there.So much of the fun of buying a luxury item is sensory — seeing the packaging, experiencing the store, chatting with associates whose attention is focused on you. It's a personal, rarefied experience."That dopamine rush you get from buying something fun and fancy and special is meaningful, even if it doesn't last," Tassin said.It's tough to translate to e-commerce. <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/avoiding-blackout-shopping-saving-money-frugal-living-youtuber-finances-2024-4">Clicking around a website</a> to buy something and a week later grabbing a box on your doorstep next to your monthly delivery of cat litter <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/shoppers-are-doom-spending-to-cope-with-financial-stress-2023-11">does not provide the same rush</a>.While brands want to sell to consumers however they can, including online, brick-and-mortar matters for their cultural and economic cache. When people have a premium experience in a Chanel or a Louis Vuitton store, it reinforces the brand's premium image. It's part of their top-funnel brand building. And, hey, it helps if you snap a picture in the store and post it online, whether or not any purchase ever happens there."They're not just having a premium experience to trick you into buying a handbag. They're having a premium experience to make sure that you continue to associate Louis Vuitton with this extreme luxury premium that makes you feel better about spending that money on their goods now and in the future," Goldberg said. "Part of the luxury experience is less about conversion and more about long-term brand equity."Ultra-luxe brands don't want their products to be ubiquitous in the way the internet can deliver. Companies know their high-end clients want one-of-a-kind items and personalized recommendations. These customers expect a salesperson to shoot them a text or give them a call to let them know a new shoe came in that they'll love, and they've only got one pair available in their size."Unless you have those relationships and connections with your reps, you actually will not get access to these products," Kleinewillinghoefer said. "It's that personalized touch that makes it truly unique."With their highest-net-worth clients, the in-person buying experience often doesn't feel transactional, she added — people's cards are kept on file, so no one has to think of the whole business relationship thing. And even with more aspirational consumers — people who'd be more likely to do some poking around online — brands are careful to craft their images. Companies want people to come in and feel like they're living the dream and making what they see as an investment in a high-end piece. Companies don't want to "water down" their value proposition by serving too many products to those consumers, which is what the open nature of the internet risks."The level of luxury and the type of consumer are critical factors that intersect to define a brand's approach to its consumers, shaping both engagement strategies and the practices to avoid," Kleinewillinghoefer said.While it might not feel like it, e-commerce is still in its early days. Amazon has only been around for 30 years and the iPhone for 17 years. Retailers have figured out how to make a digital version of a Target, but they haven't yet cracked the code for a digital Prada. It doesn't mean they never will. And, hey, if you want to buy your next designer watch online, go for it! But let's be honest here … you probably don't. Part of the whole schtick is going to the store and feeling fancy about it.<a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/author/emily-stewart">Emily Stewart</a> is a senior correspondent at Business Insider, writing about business and the economy.

With millions of people across five continents experiencing scorching heat last month, the European Union's (EU) climate agency, Copernicus <keyword id="19907392" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="climate-change" source="keywords">Climate Change</keyword> Service (C3S), confirmed on Monday that June was the warmest on record. It also marked the 12th consecutive month of <keyword id="20524196" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="global-temperatures" source="keywords">global temperatures</keyword> reaching <keyword id="22325521" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="1-5-degrees-Celsius" source="keywords">1.5 degrees Celsius</keyword> above the pre-industrial average. According to scientists at C3S, every month since June last year has been the warmest such month on record. In January, the world completed an entire year with the mean surface air temperature exceeding the 1.5-degree Celsius threshold. June was the 12th consecutive month with monthly average temperatures above the 1850-1900 pre-industrial average. At the 2015 UN climate talks in Paris, world leaders committed to limiting the global average temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius above the pre-industrial period to avoid the worst impacts of climate change. However, a permanent breach of the 1.5-degree Celsius limit specified in the <keyword id="20104670" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Paris-Agreement" source="keywords">Paris Agreement</keyword> refers to long-term warming over a 20 or 30-year period. Earth's global surface temperature has already increased by around 1.2 degrees Celsius compared to the average in 1850-1900 due to the rapidly-increasing concentration of <keyword id="20649149" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="greenhouse-gases" source="keywords">greenhouse gases</keyword> -- primarily carbon dioxide and methane -- in the atmosphere. This warming is considered to be the reason behind record droughts, wildfires and floods worldwide. According to new data, June 2024 was the warmest on record, with an average surface air temperature of 16.66 degrees Celsius, 0.67 degrees Celsius above the 1991-2020 average for the month and 0.14 degrees Celsius above the previous high set in June 2023. "The month was 1.5 degrees Celsius above the estimated June average for 1850-1900, the designated pre-industrial reference period, making it the 12th consecutive month to reach or break the 1.5-degree threshold," C3S said in a statement. It was also the 13th consecutive month of <keyword id="21477127" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="record-high-temperatures" source="keywords">record-high temperatures</keyword>, a result of the combined effect of the 2023-24 El Nino event and human-caused climate change. While unusual, a similar streak of monthly global temperature records happened previously in 2015-16. "This is more than a statistical oddity and highlights a large and continuing shift in our climate. Even if this specific streak of extremes ends at some point, we are bound to see new records being broken as the climate continues to warm. This is inevitable, unless we stop adding greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and the oceans," said Carlo Buontempo, the director of C3S. The European climate agency said the global average temperature for the last 12 months (July 2023-June 2024) is the highest on record, at 0.76 degrees Celsius above the 1991-2020 average and 1.64 degrees Celsius above the 1850-1900 pre-industrial average. The world's sea surface in June was also the highest ever recorded for the month. Several countries experienced record-breaking heat and devastating floods and storms in June. According to an analysis by Climate Central, an independent group of scientists and communicators based in the United States, more than 60 per cent of the world population faced extreme heat that was made at least three times more likely by climate change during June 16-24. Climate Central said the blistering heat in June impacted 619 million (61.9 crore) people in India, 579 million (57.9 crore) in China, 231 million (23.1 crore) in Indonesia, 206 million (20.6 crore) in Nigeria, 176 million (17.6 crore) in Brazil, 171 million (17.1 crore) in Bangladesh, 165 million (16.5 crore) in the US, 152 million (15.2 crore) in Europe, 123 million (12.3 crore) in Mexico, 121 million (12.1 crore) in Ethiopia and 103 million (10.3 crore) in Egypt. According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), northwest India recorded its warmest June since 1901. India, which experienced one of its hottest and longest heatwaves, recorded more than 40,000 suspected heatstroke cases and over 100 heat-related deaths. The intense heat overwhelmed the water supply system and power grids, with Delhi grappling with a severe water crisis. According to the IMD, 11 states recorded 20 to 38 heatwave days -- up to four times the usual number of such days -- during the April-to-June period. The mercury breached 50 degrees Celsius in parts of Rajasthan, with night temperatures hovering around 35 degrees Celsius in many places. Temperatures were most above average over eastern Canada, the western United States and Mexico, Brazil, northern Siberia, the Middle East, northern Africa, and western Antarctica.
