Apr 17, 2013  |   Contributor: Mila Pantovich

If you are a vintage car and bike enthusiast — or just a reality television junkie — you probably know who Danny "The Count" Koker is.

Interview With Bob Shullman: An In-depth Look at the Luxury Market Today

Apr 2, 2013  |   Contributor: Susan Kime

Though entitled Through The Looking Glass, Mr. Shullman’s extensive, clarifying survey has no relation to the Lewis Carroll book, where time moves backwards, and reality seems truly diffuse. In Mr. Shullman’s survey, affluent and luxury attitudes might also be considered diffuse, but quite clear in its presentation of four distinct low to high-end affluent mindsets; compared with the mindset of 61% of the American populace, who make less than $75,000 a year. One of the multiple take-aways is how different in buying behaviors and concerns affluent people are from each other, as well as from those of “average” means. The variables involve income levels of affluence, age, and gender.... Read More

Mar 14, 2013  |   Contributor: Tara Imperatore

Feb 18, 2013  |   Contributor: Mila Pantovich

His method involves cutting arcs of glass that form rings, layering them to eventually form a perfect sphere.... Read More

Chet Dudzik, President and Founder of JetWay Private Air, decided to start his own full service charter company that brought private flights to the masses at nearly half the cost of competitors, riding the new trend wave of luxury travelers concerned with value....
