Limited editions have always been the favourite strategy of marketers of luxury products. These products come in limited numbers loaded with features and attributes. Customers scramble to get hold of these exclusive products and are willing to pay premium prices for these special editions. Now, this strategy has been extended to a variety of product categories irrespective of their luxury status. From automobiles to soaps, limited editions have moved into the mainstay of marketing strategy.According to Wikipedia, an online encyclopaedia, the term `Special Edition', when used in marketing, intends to give the product something new and previously unseen in the regular edition. Limited edition carries a sense of immediacy and exclusivity as the products would only be available for a short time and/or in limited numbers.
