		<description><![CDATA[Luxuries are not a basic fundamental need to start with, yet to seek them out is innate in our nature. For the most part, the term luxury has been and continues to be applied to tangible goods whether found naturally, hunted or manufactured, rather than to intangible services. Yet, it is the intangible that differentiates what is luxurious from what is not.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Reactions to a discussion referencing the recent battle between retailer Delhaize and FMCG company Unilever in at least one online poll seem to favour retailers, or equally blame both retailers and suppliers. Considering that the respondent universe comprised of professionals from retail companies, suppliers as well as service providers, this seems to be a surprising result. Or perhaps not? Do you think that brands are really not delivering a significant value to be able to command a premium over private label?]]></description>
