A
s technology continues to
develop and e-commerce
becomes more secure, the
days of major purchases
requiring extensive credit
checks and collateral are gone. Luxury
purchases can now be done simply
via a smartphone - from last minute
flights, to ordering the latest
designer fashions, advancements
today allow consumers to accomplish
tasks effortlessly and efficiently
with the touch of a finger.

purchases available via mobile apps:
A Private Jet: JetSmarter allows
96

within three hours of departure
from anywhere in the world. The
app’s keen technology eliminates the
“middle man” of chartering a private
jet, making the process simple and
transparent. Some of the most
expensive trips, near and far, include
New York to Madrid: $105,200 (VIP
airliner); Miami to Los Angeles:
$58,100 (heavy jet); and New York
to Paris: $175,500 (heavy jet).
A Designer Handbag: Among the
many luxury retailers to offer mobile
sales via app is Marcus. Known as
one of the world’s finest fashion
retailers, Neiman Marcus launched
their app in 2014, which allows
shopaholics to search by department
or contact sales associates at any
Neiman Marcus store. Users may also
choose to receive advance notice of
upcoming store events and special
offers. The stylish Tom Ford Natalia
Pony & Alligator Doctor Bag is
available on the app for $10,280.
