Marketing Watches
• Titan’s marketing strategy had five main bases: a product of international quality, Indian designs, competitive prices, intensive advertising and promotion, and specialized retail shops to control the presentation.
Segmentation• Titan has segmented the market on the basis of the following variables:
Demographic (age and social class), Psycho graphic (lifestyle and personality), Behavioral (benefits and occasions), Geographical (region)
• The first consisted of the high income/ elite consumers who were buying a watch as a fashion accessory. They were also willing to buy a watch on impulse. The price tag did not matter to this segment. The price range between Rs.20, 000 and Rs.1 lakh.
• The next segmented consisted of consumers who preferred some fashion in their watches but to them price did matter. The price range between Rs.500 and 700.
• The third segment consisted of the lower income consumers who saw a watch mainly as a time keeping device and bought mainly on the basis of price. The price range between Rs.350 and 500.
Product• Product type– convenience – shopping – specialty
• Segmentation of TITAN Watch – Based on price – Market segmentation – based on user category
