How do you reach out to the upmarket segment in Malaysia? Here’s the list of popular online publishers that focus on luxury lifestyle content.
If you are selling luxury items, luxury cars, high-end properties, or anything at a premium, where else can you market your brand besides Facebook, automotive blogs, and property sites?
On Facebook and Instagram, brands are able to target affluent audiences by going for ‘prefer mid & high-value goods‘ and other relevant signals.
However, premium brands should also consider other avenues like luxury lifestyle publications which will be able to vouch for your brand.
Most of those upmarket publications are international print magazine brands, with quite a couple of them owned by Biz of Re, Hubert Burda Media, and Heart Media.
While some of them are still available on the shelves today, many of those magazines are affluent enough to digitize their content – visits, pageviews are replacing circulations.
The majority of the luxury lifestyle publications are in English, with only GLAM (and Lelaki) in Malay, and 品 PIN Prestige Malaysia, ICON 风华 Malaysia, and 都会佳人 Citta Bella in Chinese.
Here’s the list of popular luxury lifestyle publications in Malaysia ranked by website traffic. Most of them are in English, and only a handful of them are in Chinese or Malay.
Do take note that some publishers above (especially those by Hubert Burda Media) are regional sites so we measure and rank them by the traffic from Malaysia only.
