Self Winding Mechanical
Marketing Success Of Rolex
When you think about luxury watches, the first brand that always comes to mind is rolex. While there are a few other luxury watch brands that are actually priced at a level or two higher than rolex watches with have tighter production outputs, if you ask anyone they would probably prefer a rolex watch. Such is the success behind the marketing of Rolex as a brand. With as many key selling points there are to drive its sales figures, it isn’t any wonder that the brand is recognized globally for what it is. While there are still a few brands that sell a level higher than Rolex, the average consumer has probably never even heard their names.
That is the beauty of their marketing strategy, with such a huge brand awareness that even non-targeted consumers are aware of and aspire to own such a watch. The Rolex marketing team focuses on driving home several key points. History, tradition, and sophistication, among others, are just some of the words Rolex strives to be associated with.
They are everything people want in a watch designed with luxury in mind, and in every case, Rolex has been able to deliver. Many of today’s modern watches even have features that have long been innovated by Rolex. Self-winding is a feature Rolex innovated upon, taking from a 1923 design and reworking it, resulting in the self-winding mechanism we see on almost all self-winding watches today.
And they certainly aren’t shy about telling the world about their achievements, such as when a Rolex Sea Dweller Deep-Sea Special was strapped to the side of Jacques Piccard’s submarine in 1960 when he took it down to a depth of 10,916 feet into the Marianas Trench. It should also be considered that every watch they make is a status symbol in its own right because of their exclusivity from the materials used and the limited production runs for each watch.
Probably one of the main advantages behind Rolex’s marketing strategy is that owning such a watch is a sort of achievable luxury, while other luxury brands can’t seem to associate themselves with that idea. Instead of only targeting consumers within their targeted market who are able to afford a Rolex, or any other exclusive brand for that matter, they have also created a brand awareness that goes beyond and reaches to the masses. This is not to say that Rolex is marketing itself to eventually be sold to less-privileged consumers, even if they are only slightly so.
Rather, it ensures that it is the first luxury watch they aspire for should they ever come into the means to buy one. Here’s a quick example. If a junior associate at a law firm gets promoted to senior associate, one of the first gifts he will get himself is likely to be a Rolex.
