Section B Case Study (20PTS/100)
Case Study: X Luxury Watches

X Luxury Watches, a renowned name in the horology world, is


celebrated for its precision, design, and opulence. For decades, its
watches have been symbols of affluence and discernment. The past
year, however, posed new challenges for X. With the global economy
experiencing a downturn, there was a noticeable tightening of
consumer spending, especially in the luxury segment.

In response to this economic challenge, X's marketing team adapted


their strategies. They introduced a financing scheme, allowing
customers to purchase watches on instalment plans. This offered
flexibility in payment, making luxury items more accessible in
tougher times. Additionally, they began promoting their watches not
just as luxury items, but as heirlooms - investments that could be
passed down through generations, thereby emphasizing their lasting
value.

Parallel to the economic challenges, a demographic shift was


occurring. The young adult population was booming, and X saw this
as an opportunity. To appeal to this younger segment without
sidelining its existing clientele, the brand launched a 'Heritage and
Future' campaign. The campaign showcased vintage X watch models
alongside modern designs, highlighting the brand's rich history while
also emphasizing its forward-thinking approach. Limited-edition
watches with contemporary designs were released, targeting younger
consumers, but these designs maintained the core craftsmanship that X
was known for. Digital marketing efforts were also amplified, with
influencers and celebrities under 30 being roped in for endorsements.
Moreover, the younger generation's increasing interest in
sustainability and environmental conservation was something X
couldn't ignore. X began promoting their watches as "lifetime
purchases" to reduce fast fashion consumption. They also launched an
initiative where for every watch sold, a tree would be planted,
emphasizing their commitment to the environment. The use of eco-
friendly materials in select watch models and sustainable packaging
further showcased X's dedication to the environment.

Questions: Answer the following questions from the case study.

1. Given the economic downturn, how did X adjust its marketing


strategies to maintain sales?

2. Considering the demographic shift towards a younger population,


what three marketing tactics did X employ to appeal to this segment
without alienating its existing customer base?

3. How did X leverage the natural environment and sustainability trends


to promote its luxury watch brand?

Case Study: GreenClean

GreenClean is a nascent startup specializing in eco-friendly household


cleaning products. Despite being new, its commitment to
sustainability and the environment sets it apart. Breaking into a market
filled with entrenched brands is no easy feat.

To make an impact, GreenClean decided on a strategic market


segmentation. They divided the market into three main segments: eco-
conscious consumers, households with young children, and
millennials. Given the alignment of their products with sustainability,
GreenClean initially decided to target eco-conscious consumers, as
they would be the most receptive to their offerings.

positioning statement became: "Purely Natural, Powerfully Effective."
They showcased their products as derived from nature, ensuring safety
for both homes and the environment, without compromising on
cleaning prowess.

Aware of the value of brand equity, GreenClean rolled out a


comprehensive branding campaign. They initiated a loyalty program
named "EcoRewards," where customers could earn points for each
purchase, redeemable for future discounts. Collaborations were made
with environmental influencers, and a "Clean & Green" challenge was
launched on social media, where users shared their sustainable
cleaning routines using GreenClean products. To reinforce their
commitment, GreenClean also pledged a part of their profits to
environmental causes, making every purchase a step towards a greener
earth.

Questions: Answer the following questions from the case study.

1. How did GreenClean segment its target market, and which specific
segment did it focus on initially?

2. What positioning strategy did GreenClean adopt for its products to set
them apart from competitors?

loyalty among its consumers?
