Ch. 8 - Segmenting and Targeting Markets

The market for Rolex is pretty specific: people with purchasing power that are willingness to invest a good amount of money in a watch. Not only a watch but a luxury accessory.

Rolex costumers are part of a market segment which is usually filled with collectors, artists and athletes. They all share one characteristic that includes them this segment: purchasing power.

Marketers for the company segment the market by demography, especially by income.
Income levels influences consumers needs and determine their buying power. These characteristics are relevant in the fine watch industry.

As an example in New York you can find a Rolex store or retailer all over the upper east side, where the income rate is the highest in the city. A clear example of Geo demographic segmentation. Characterized by potential costumers and lifestyle.

In the watch industry you have to have well-defined market segments. Sports watches and dress watches.
Rolex offers both and truly understands the needs of both segments. By giving options to its costumers Rolex increases market share and profits.

Positioning:

Rolex made us believe through its products that they are the best in the game. Potential costumers will always consider Rolex when buying an expensive watch. By being a pioneer in many segments of the industry, Rolex made us perceive the brand as the parameter of quality. 
The brand occupies number one spot in the watch industry over the years and it is most likely to stay this way.

  2. Look at the way my buddy Wesley Virgin's report starts with this SHOCKING and controversial VIDEO.

    Wesley was in the military-and soon after leaving-he found hidden, "self mind control" secrets that the CIA and others used to get whatever they want.

    As it turns out, these are the exact same methods tons of famous people (especially those who "come out of nothing") and the greatest business people used to become wealthy and successful.

    You probably know how you use only 10% of your brain.

    Really, that's because most of your brain's power is UNCONSCIOUS.

    Maybe that conversation has even taken place IN YOUR very own head... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's head about 7 years back, while riding a non-registered, beat-up trash bucket of a vehicle without a license and $3 in his pocket.

    "I'm absolutely fed up with going through life payroll to payroll! When will I finally make it?"

    You've been a part of those those types of conversations, ain't it so?

    Your success story is going to happen. All you have to do is in YOURSELF.
