1.1 INTRODUCTION
Background of watch industry
A watch can be defined as “a spring driven timekeeper, small enough
to carry on a person.” The early watches were worn on a chain around the
neck, and then came the pocket watches and finally, the wrist watches were
developed. The concept of keeping time can be traced way back to the
beginning of civilization. There were clocks before watches and there were
simple mechanisms before clocks. Time was measured by the shadows
formed from the sundials. Also, there were hourglasses that measured time
by predictable rates of sand moving through a narrow channel. Early watches
were incredibly big. Today, they have not only become smaller, but also much
trendier. Read on further to explore interesting and amazing information on
the history of watches.
Before 1600, driving power was the main problem in portable
timekeeping. The timepieces were driven by weights and therefore were
impractical to transport on one person. In 1524, the first pocket watch was
created by Peter Heinlein in Germany. Other watches appeared in 1548 that
were of either French or German origin. After 1575, more products were
produced in Switzerland and England. This period came to known as one of
great advancement and innovation in the homological industry. Initially, the
first movements were made of steel and later on, of brass. They did not have
balance springs and were notoriously inaccurate. These watches had only an
hour hand and had to be wound twice daily.
Subsequently, spiral leaf mainspring appeared which came as the
greatest innovation as it allowed long-term power without weights. The
accuracy of the timepieces could be improved by using a limited portion of the
mainspring since there was a difference in timing between the long arcs and
the short arcs. Although Germany produced a watch with a cam at the end of
the barrel arbor, it was England and France who used the fuse. The fusses
stopped the watch during winding to prevent over-oscillation of the balance
wheel. Stops were also included as regulators.
In 1600s, form watches having cases shaped like animals and objects
became popular. They were also available in religious themes. Watches were
considered more like pieces of jewelry even though very few technical
improvements took place. Rubies were first used in 1704 in watch movements
to create more accurate time pieces. To make the watch dials more visible in
low light, enamel was used in 1750. In 1780, Abraham Perrault invented the
first self-winding movement while, in 1820, Thomas Preset registered a patent
for a self-winding watch.

In America, the first watch was manufactured by Luther Goddard of
Shrewsbury, Massachusetts in 1809. The well-known Omega Watch
Company was first opened by Louis Brandt as a workshop in La Chaux-de-
Fonds in 1848. Around 1850, the Americans finally went into mass production
of watches with mixed results. The main companies for the same were
Waltham, Elgin and Hamilton. In 1884, Greenwich, also named as the zero
meridian, in England was accepted worldwide as the starting point for global
time zones. Finally, after 1900, different advancements were made in
metallurgy to improve the mechanism since the balance spring was sensitive
to temperature and position. Self-compensating balances were introduced
having bi-metallic properties to compensate for high and low temperatures.
Eventually, a balance that could compensate for middle temperature errors
was created.
In 1905, Hans Wildorf, started the Rolex Watch Company. In 1914, the
first wrist watch with an alarm was created. The Seiko was started in Tokyo by
Kinttaro Hattori in 1924. By 1930, the ratio of wrist watches to pocket watches
was 50:1. The production of pocket watches was minimized after the end of
Second World War in 1945. The Swiss watches captured a large percentage
of the world’s consumption. In 1952, battery-powered watches were available
as an alternative to the automatic ones. These electronic watches became so
popular that the mechanical ones were lost forever by 1970s. Gradually, the
mechanical watches flourished again in the upper sections of the
marketplace. Today manufacturers like Blancpain, Rolex, Patek Phillipe,
Audemars Piguet, Jaegar LeCoultre, HMT, Lange & Sohne and Vacheron
Titan, Lamex, Fastrack, casio, citizen, Constantin make high quality
mechanical watches.

Introduction of Rolex brand
The great fashion world, there are so many items, most of which
belong to be people’s daily necessities. For instance, costumes, footwear,
sporting goods, and accessories. When it comes to the necessaries, I should
say that they are as essential as other objects, though they look tiny or even
humble. A case in point is the hand tag hewer replica watches. People now
wear hand watches not just for the purpose of checking the time. In fact, a
majority of us regard it, especially the branded one, as wonderful attachment
which can greatly flaunt our fashion tastes.
What I would like to introduce to you here is the famous replica
brogues watches. Most people currently have been very familiar with it due to
its high-end design and whopping price. Indeed, as one of the top-class
luxuries in the world, its name is well known in the watch industry. In the
following passage, I will give you a brief introduction of it.
The Brand Name
As we all know, Switzerland is a nation which is prestigious for its
watch industry. And Rolex, one of the world-famous brands, was registered
there in 1908. At the beginning, Rolex watches were all featured with a logo
which looked like a palm with five fingers stretching out. It marked that the
watch was entirely hand-made with exquisite craftsmanship. As times passes,
its logo has changed into the image of a gold crown as we see at present. The
crown symbolizes Rolex’s supremacy in the world of hand watches.
The Uniqueness
The reason why Rolex can survive a long history with its popularity
stands still is that it offers the public high-end products. In 1920s, Rolex
designed it first waterproof watches. In 1931, it released perpetual rotor hand
watches which possessed the best performance of automatic watches at that
time. In a word, Rolex wins its popularity on account of its durability and
sound water resistance. In addition, it features mature and decent looks; thus,
most successful people are obsessed with it a lot.

considered to be a fresher factor in every walk of life. Now-a day we find no
person without a wrist watch and a home without a clock. Thus the watches
have become almost a necessity for human begins; to whichever economic
class they belong. In the 18th and 19th century watch industry has flourished
in western world only, specifically
Switzerland but the second half of the 20th century has seen India

Introduction of Fastrack brand
Titan recognized a need in the market – a reasonably priced watch for
the youth between the age group of 15 – 25 years. Fastrack was launched in
the year 1998 as a sub-brand of Titan, with a range of digital watches starting
from Rs. 795. The brand was aimed at the youth segment (15-25
years).Fastrack entered the market saturated with International designer
labels –like Citizen, Seiko, Swatch, Casio and Timex – but managed to carve
a niche for itself in the youth accessories market, with designs that are
refreshingly different, casual, eclectic and fun, clubbed with prices that do not
burn a hole through the pocket. Fastrack was promoted with the slogan "Cool
Watches from Titan.” Initially, in most of the campaigns, the brand was
promoted as “Titan Fastrack.” The brand was targeting young consumers who
were moving towards the competitor – Timex. It was during this time that
Timex and Titan had parted ways. Fastrack had a good start. During the first
year, the brand clocked a turnover of Rs 15 corer.
The good run continued till 2001-2002 and was worth Rs 25crores. But
the sales stagnated. Although the brand appealed to youngsters, the price
was a significant dampener. It was found that the target group which
consisted of college students could not afford this brand.

2.1 INTRODUCTION OF MARKETING
STRATEGY
Marketing strategies serve as the fundamental underpinning of
marketing plans designed to fill market needs and reach marketing objectives.
Plans and objectives are generally tested for measurable results. Commonly,
marketing strategies are developed as multi-year plans, with a tactical plan
detailing specific actions to be accomplished in the current year. Time
horizons covered by the marketing plan vary by company, by industry, and by
nation, however, time horizons are becoming shorter as the speed of change
in the environment increases. Marketing strategies are dynamic and
interactive. They are partially planned and partially unplanned. See strategy
dynamics. Marketing strategy needs to take a long term view, and tools such
as customer lifetime value models can be very powerful in helping to simulate
the effects of strategy on acquisition, revenue per customer and churn rate.
Marketing strategy involves careful and precise scanning of the internal
and external environments. Internal environmental factors include the
marketing mix and marketing mix modeling, plus performance analysis and
strategic constraints. External environmental factors include customer
analysis, competitor analysis, target market analysis, as well as evaluation of
any elements of the technological, economic, cultural or political/legal
environment likely to impact success. A key component of marketing strategy
is often to keep marketing in line with a company's overarching mission
statement.
Once a thorough environmental scan is complete, a strategic plan can
be constructed to identify business alternatives, establish challenging goals,
determine the optimal marketing mix to attain these goals, and detail
implementation. A final step in developing a marketing strategy is to create a
plan to monitor progress and a set of contingencies if problems arise in the
implementation of the plan.
Marketing Mix Modeling is often used to help determine the optimal
marketing budget and how to allocate across the marketing mix to achieve
these strategic goals. Moreover, such models can help allocate spend across
a portfolio of brands and manage brands to create value.

2.2 BCG GROWTH-SHARE MATRIX
History of BCG Matrix
• Founded by Bruce D Henderson in 1963
• A global consulting firm with 42 offline countries
• One of only three companies to appear in the top 15 of fortunes best
companies to work for report for seven consecutive years in the 2011
12 fortune list BCG is listed as the second best company to work
25. BPCBA/2013-14/Sem-VI/Group No:-23 Page 20 of 68
STARS
High growth, high market share
Stars are leaders in business.
They also require heavy investment, to maintain its large market
share.
It leads to large amount of cash consumption and cash generation.
Attempts should be made to hold the market share otherwise the star
will become a CASH COW.
CASH COWS
Low growth, High market share
They are foundation of the company and often the stars of yesterday.
They generate more cash than required.
They extract the profits by investing as little cash as possible
They are located in an industry that is mature, not growing or declining.
DOGS
Low growth, Low market share
Dogs are the cash traps.
Dogs do not have potential to bring in much cash.
Number of dogs in the company should be minimized.
Business is situated at a declining stage.
QUESTION MARKS
High growth, Low market share
Most businesses start of as question marks.
They will absorb great amounts of cash if the market share remains
unchanged.
Why question marks?
Question marks have potential to become star and eventually cash cow
but can also become a dog.
Investments should be high for question marks.

BENEFITS
BCG MATRIX is simple and easy to understand.
It helps you to quickly and simply screen the opportunities open to you,
and helps you think about how you can make the most of them.
It is used to identify how corporate cash resources can best be used to
maximize a company’s future growth and profitability.
LIMITATIONS
BCG MATRIX uses only two dimensions, Relative market share and
market growth rate.
Problems of getting data on market share and market growth.
High market share does not mean profits all the time.
Business with low market share can be profitable too.

1. People
This is where it all begins, people. First it’s very important that you find
out through research if there are enough people in demand of a certain types
of products and services.
Typically you can get a good idea of the demand for certain products
and services by conducting thorough keyword research. In certain markets
there may be several different types of products which can cater to a
particular segment of people.
If there is a high demand of certain types of products, then this can be
great news for you. This will help you when it comes to creating your sales
funnel and for future product development for repeat sales to that segment of
people down the road.
The “people portion” can also include the people who you have hired
to take care of certain tasks and operations for you within your business.
2. Products
Do you have the right products for the market you are trying to target?
As mentioned earlier, you absolutely need to have the right types of
products that are in demand for your market. But, how do you know?
A great place for finding out the types of products that your target
market might want to get their hands on is inside of online forums.
What types of questions are they asking in threads?
What types of responses are they getting to their questions?
Are there already products available that may address their situation?
If there is, you might want to ask yourself, “Well, what can I do to offer
a better product to this group of people than my competitors. What can give
me the edge to stand out?”
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been inside one of the Skype
groups I belong to where people are asking where they can find a certain
script that does “this or that”, or who provides the best solution to a service
they are needing.
Skype groups can provide you with some good marketing Intel. It may
be something you want to consider when looking for a product or service you
might want to create. Facebook groups can be great for this type of research
as well.

3. Price
Price is the next thing that’s important within your “marketing mix.”
This is actually an area where you have to be somewhat careful, plus,
be mindful of what your target market might actually be willing to pay.
This is a touchy area. If you or your company hasn’t made a big name
for itself already in a particular market, it’s unlikely that people would be willing
to pay you the types of fees that some of the bigger marketers or businesses
command.
That’s not to say, they won’t in the future, but you must be realistic of
where you are positioned in the present time.
Pricing has a lot to do with how a product is perceived as well.
If you price your product too low, then it might be considered as
somewhat inferior to your competitions. Then again, if you try and shoot too
high, you could be shooting yourself in the foot, since people may not think
the benefits of the product or service are worth your asking price.
Be sure to take a good look at your competitor’s products and services,
their positioning, and how you think you’ll best fit in to be competitive in the
market.
If you already have current customers, you might also want to survey
them to get some good honest feedback.
4. Promotion
The fourth “P” in the “marketing mix” is Promotion.
This part of your process in your marketing plan can include several
components in how you are getting the word out about your product,
including:
1. PPC
2. Article marketing
3. Social media marketing such as YouTube, Facebook, Twitter etc.
4. JV partners
5. Media buys
Your combination and how you go about promotion will depend on your
budget, the message you want to communicate, and the group of customers
you are targeting.
30. BPCBA/2013-14/Sem-VI/Group No:-23 Page 25 of 68
Things to consider:
How much money you have to spend
Access to partners willing to promote for you
The types of incentives you can offer
For best results, you may want to consult a professional in this area to lay
out an optimal strategic plan for you.
5. Place
At first glance, you might think place is obvious. Of course, you’ll be
selling your products or services from your web site; however, you can
leverage the use of several sites to help you get more sales.
For instance, you may want to list your product or service inside of one
or more affiliate networks. This can be extremely powerful, especially if your
product is well received and becomes popular among affiliates wanting to
promote for you.
6. Process
The next thing to consider within the marketing mix is the process of
how your products are delivered.
This is generally the technical part of the equation. For this you are
going to need an effective “sales system”.
It’s how you are going to get paid, and deliver your products. For most
digital products this is all done online. However, if one of your products or
services happens to be physical, you might require the use of a distribution
company.
There are several effective sales systems available on the market
today.
You’ll want a system that is capable of handling your main offer and
any possible up sell or down sell offers. Of course you’ll also want to be
implementing a system that is capable of integrating Webber or Get
Response as well, so you can be building your buyers list of customers at the
same time.
There are many to choose from, that fall into different budgets. Take
the time to figure out what you think will best suit your needs.
7. Physical Evidence
When it comes to online marketing “physical evidence” pertains to how
you, your products, or your company is presented in the market place.

3.1 ATTRIBUTES FOR HIGHER MARKET COVERAGE
Attributes in business pertain to brands or products, companies and
even employees. They can be best described as certain underlying
characteristics that best represent all brands or businesses in the
marketplace. Companies may be strong in some of these characteristics and
weaker on others. Companies that identify and keep track of key attributes
know where they stand versus key competitors. They can then use their
stronger attributes to their advantage in building sales and profits.
CORE COMPETENCIES
Business and employee attributes are basically core competencies.
These are things that companies do better than their competitors. Companies
can be service leaders, offering the best customer service in the industry.
They can also be leaders or innovators, the first ones to introduce new
technologies. Similarly, companies may be known for having strong marketing
staffs or superior engineering, which are attributes that reflect the skills of their
employees.
PRODUCT ATTRIBUTES
Companies also have certain attributes associated with the products
and services they sell. Thirty-nine percent of respondents cited "the quality of
their product or service" as the attribute they use most often to differentiate
themselves, according to "Inc." online magazine's May 2007 "Company
Attributes." Companies must sell high quality products so that they withstand
repeated usage. Otherwise, they would receive a spate of complaints from
customers. Business owners offering services such as lawn care and haircuts
must also strive for high quality to gain loyal customers. Other important
product and service attributes include value, hospitality, professionalism,
accuracy and timeliness.
OBTAINING ATTRIBUTE RATINGS
Companies can obtain ratings on attributes through marketing research
studies. Marketing managers often hire marketing research agencies to
conduct phone surveys among customers. Some of these customers may
also purchase competitive products. Hence, it is also helpful to measure
attribute ratings of key competitors in these surveys. During this process,
customers are usually asked to rate certain attributes on 5-point scales -- with
5 as the highest rating and 1 as the lowest. Companies can later compare
ratings for various attributes, determining for which attributes they score
higher than the competition
34. BPCBA/2013-14/Sem-VI/Group No:-23 Page 29 of 68
ATTRIBUTE USES
Many companies highlight key attribute strengths in their advertising
and promotions. For example, a company scoring the highest quality rating
may state that fact in television, radio, phone book, Internet and magazine
ads. It may also mention its high quality ratings in direct mail brochures the
company distributes to people. That way other non-buying consumers can
find out about the company's high quality products. Company owners may
also use certain core competencies to gain market share.

4.1 INTRODUCTION OF CUSTOMER
SATISFACTION
Introduction
Satisfaction is the customer‘s fulfillment response. It is a judgment that
a product or a service feature, or the product or service itself, provides a
pleasurable level of consumption – related, fulfillment. In minimal technical
terms, this definition can be translated to mean that satisfaction is the
customers evaluation of a product or service in It is also important to
recognize that, to measure the customer satisfaction at a particular point of
time as if it were static, satisfaction is a dynamic, moving target that may
evolve over the time, influenced by a variety of factors. Particularly when
product usage or the service experience takes place over the time,
satisfaction may be highly variable depending on which point the usage or
experience cycle is focused on
Determinants of customer satisfaction
Customer satisfaction is influenced by specific product or service
features and by perception of quality. Satisfaction is also influenced by
customers
Product and service features
Customer satisfaction with a product or service is influenced
significantly by the customer‘s evaluation of product or service features.
Customers of services will make trade – offs among different service features
depending on the type of service being evaluated and the criticality of the
service.
Customer emotions
Customer‘s emotions can also affect their perceptions of satisfaction
with products and services. These emotions can be stable, pre-existing
emotions.
Attributions for service success or failure
Attributions – the perceived causes of events – influence perceptions of
satisfaction as well. When they have been surprised by an outcome (the
service is either much better or much worse than expected) consumers tend
to look for the reasons, and their assessments of the reasons can influence
their satisfaction.
Perceptions of equity or fairness
Customer satisfaction is also influenced by perceptions of equity and
fairness. Customers ask themselves: have I been treated fairly compared with
other customers? Did other customers get better treatment, better prices, or
better quality service? Did I pay a fair price for the service? Was I treated well
in exchange for what I paid and the effort I expended?
Other customers, family members and coworkers
42. BPCBA/2013-14/Sem-VI/Group No:-23 Page 37 of 68
In addition to product and service features and one‘s own individual
feelings and beliefs, consumer satisfaction is often influenced by other people
like other customers, family members and co-workers.
Outcomes of customer satisfaction
Individual firms have discovered that increasing the levels of customer
satisfaction can be linked to customer loyalty and profits. There is an
important relationship between customer satisfaction and customer loyalty.
This relationship is particularly strong when customers are very satisfied.
Thus firms that simply aim to satisfy customers may not be doing enough to
endanger loyalty – they must instead aim to more than satisfy or even to
delight their customers. At the opposite end of the satisfaction spectrum,
researchers have also found that there is a strong link between dissatisfaction
and disloyalty – or defection. Loyalty can fall off precipitously when customers
reach a particular level of dissatisfaction or when they are dissatisfied with
service/ product.

CONCLUSION
From the all above information gathered we can conclude that
whatever the competition level and the technology come into the market the
consumers will always be benefited they will get quality products at a
reasonable rate .Each and every economy company want to get more market
share and for that they are ready to give away higher margin and provide
products and after sale services at a lower rate.
Watch industry now in the stage of growth due to more attraction of the
watches among the young generation. And these companies try to attract
consumers by giving more price cuts and more features, design, comfort etc.
at a same price or at a low price same numbers of features are available.
Titan is the market leader in the wrist watch, India
Fastrack one of its most successful and profitable brand
Even after the entry of other players, Fastrack in its segment remains
largely un-threatened and expansion of its product line shall ensure that it
remains a strong player in the coming decades.
This marketing plan summarizes the main points of how Rolex will
market their wristwatches to a younger generation than the current target
market. This exemption will allow Rolex to move an untapped area that
education on the value of a high-quality time piece. In order to properly
address this objective, Rolex needs to update their marketing strategy to
include a greater presence in advertisements that target this younger market
as well as a strong showing in the social media realm.
Rolex has a long tradition of creating the standard for luxury in
wristwatches. By adding a new segment of the population of their customer
base, they will ensure that they continue their standard of excellence. Moving
forward as technology evolves is key in achieving this goal.
