Abstract

Inconspicuous consumption – where brand signals are not readily apparent, available or visible to most consumers – is on the rise, even in Asia, which has typically favored conspicuous brand signaling. This appears to be an oxymoron which challenges conventional branding theory; we argue it’s redefining constructs such as luxury and class.
