In the global scheduling industry, Switzerland may be called the
senior statesman. The Swiss clock and watch industry has 300 year
historical ancient tradition, the scheduling industry is the Swiss
country symbol. Its profession's goal customer is these
conservative, the wealthy consumer. In the 1970s, a storm rolled up
like a mat the Swiss scheduling industry, the entire profession
encountered the heavy damage, take Kaxiou (casio), exquisite
(seiko), west the iron wall (citizen) as representative's Japanese
scheduling industry, in view of the mid and low earning consumer,
used the digital technique, and paid great attention in the low
cost manufacture, the popularization sale, the big area market
introduction, caused the wristwatch sales volume to increase
sharply, caused the Swiss scheduling industry loss to be serious
directly. In less than 10 year, Swiss scheduling worker's quantity
from 900,000 drops to 300,000. In 1982, two Swiss clock and watch
manufacturer, had Omega (omega) brand ssah Corporation and had the
radar (rado), Langqin (longines) asuag Corporation, one year
altogether lost 120,000,000 US dollars, but these two company
yearly income was only 1,100,000,000 US dollars.
Facing the difficult position, German entrepreneur Hayeke who is
engaged in the consultation (hayek) proposed: “we can become
the world once more first”. In order to rally the Swiss
scheduling industry to be magnificent, in 1985, Hayeke and the
investor has purchased the above two company complete property 51%.
After obtaining the domination, Ye not started to create the brand
myth the story.
1. Enters the low price market boldly.
Hayeke first carries on the test to the market, discovered that
the consumer may accept Switzerland to commend to Japanese, Hong
Kong product is slightly expensive some prices. The market
demonstrated that the Swiss wristwatch have the product differences
superiority, even if the Japanese labor force cost is zero, the
Swiss wristwatch will still have the market. Hayeke thought:
“this is not a payroll cost question, but is the management,
the innovation, the marketing and the product question”.
Hayeke enters the low price market boldly, presents the near absurd
challenge: “found a method, let us in Switzerland by 30 US
dollar price sell wristwatch.”
Hayeke similarly also seeks the product in the low-grade market
the difference, bridges over “the economy wristwatch”
the threshold, enters “the style fashion”, carries on
the segmentation to the low-grade market, has studied an age 18-30
year-old consumer. He believed that must obtain the success in this
market, must be able the sensation consumer taste change, this to
master the new production technology to be more important. The
young people do not have the many money purchase upscale table, but
needs one fashion to satisfy the personalization.
Afterward, Hayeke makes the improvement to the manufacturing
craft, and has realized a series of breakthroughs. For example,
reduces the wristwatch components from 155 to 51, reduces the
movable part, also cut the damage probability, and assembled the
wristwatch to need the manpower little to be also many; The newly
built automatic assembly line, can produce 35000 Siwoqi wristwatch
and over a million spare parts every day, the labor force cost from
30% falls 10%; Quality of certified level. Wristwatch's lowest
percentage of products sent back for repair is less than 3%, but
Siwoqi wristwatch's percentage of products sent back for repair
less than 1%.
2. Promotes sales does not conform to conventional pattern.
Some high grade and low cost guarantee, in the marketing
strategy, he made the issue in the table naming, named is
“Siwoqi”. On the one hand this name in the world main
language, sounds to be very pleasant to hear, very good memory; On
the other hand, this name also transmitted the leisure, the
fashion, the comfortable feeling to the consumer, the global
consumers easy to accept. Promoted sales does not conform to
conventional pattern, has designed a giant Siwoqi wristwatch
scroll, is 152 meters, actually has transmitted the simple
information: “Siwoqi - - Swiss - - 60 Germany Mark”.
This scroll (the Frankfurt highest skyscraping building) is hanging
from Germany Commercial bank Headquarters building in Tokyo's
Yinzuo. The consumer started to like this kind of table.
At the same time, Hayeke has adopted the following action:
Limits the quantity the production, establishes the Siwoqi member
club, sells the specially made wristwatch to the member consumer,
provides Siwoqi the product the complete table of contents, invites
them to participate in the club the activity; Encourages the dealer
to establish the Siwoqi wristwatch museum, conducts the activity
for the Siwoqi wristwatch gatherer, and specially makes has the
commemoration significance wristwatch; The design innovation, the
simple plastic Siwoqi table, the wristwatch contour which and the
watch band designs carefully substitutes, some wristwatch's
creativity from and so on masters of art Picasso. In the 90s,
Siwoqi through the cooperation innovation, increases dynamics in
the design, causes the Siwoqi wristwatch to become a part which the
consumer lives.
Succeeds from Hayeke builds the Siwoqi wristwatch brand in the
course, what can we obtain to inspire?
Changed the consumer to wristwatch's use custom. Hayeke promoted
the new table before 1983, the most people used the identical quick
table for a lifetime. The wristwatch forever only manifest the
reliable time function. Hayeke convinces them in the different
situation, wears different model for the different goal the
wristwatch.
Segmentation and lock onto target client base, namely 18-35
year-old expense group, even expands to the advocation young point
of view middle-aged person. Hayeke gave Siwoqi the wristwatch
replenishment emotion. Is not only the high grade product, is one
kind the ornament which has a taste move of person to like, looks
like the earring or the tie is the same. This for Dai Biaozhe one
counter-tradition's unique image, and has transmitted “the
fashion, the stimulation, the appeal, the memento, high grade, the
low cost” the information.

Variation marketing. In the low end market, Siwoqi appears by
the unique decorations' image, in the consumer heart with similar
low price's Japan, Hong Kong wristwatch separates out, has achieved
the variation marketing, lets the consumer think that
“different” purchases. But purchases. But the domestic
some enterprises did not know how to form the difference with the
competitor, or only in the physical property (outside presently,
formula and so on) on carries on compares. The Siwoqi wristwatch
this localization superiority profits from the function.
To cost again understanding. According to Hayeke the selling
price investigation which does in the earlier period, the Swiss
wristwatch's brand may reduce the consumer to the price
sensitivity. Hayeke can the craft manufacture improvement, the
labor force cost from 30% drops to 10%, thus has saved the overall
cost. May obtain three enlightenment from here:
1. So long as the mass manufactures have reduce
the cost the possibility;
2. The high cost's constitution may make the
concrete study to reduce;
3. The Japanese table price is lower than the
Swiss table 50-70% to be able to change consumer's choice,
therefore may through the management, the innovation, the design,
the marketing win.
By “new”, “wonderful” impels the market,
absorbs consumer's judgment rapidly, caters to the young people to
expend the point of view the transformation, “strives for,
“to ask newly” changes”, “the
counter-tradition”; Establishes the sentiment with the
consumer, to conduct the activity, the transmit message, attracts
the consumer to purchase continuously; Follows close on the fashion
and the propaganda coordination, lets the Siwoqi wristwatch ride
the US aerospace craft to surround the Earth and so on; The
wristwatch turn the artware Siwoqi, cooperates with master of art,
limits the quantity the production to the product. Every year's
Siwoqi have the difference, has let the consumer has maintained the
hope, and initiation next round purchase impulse.
Hayeke has created the Siwoqi wristwatch's myth. He has
abandoned the traditional process, the technology, the production,
the property and the sales relations, changes is gentle, the richer
subjective color consumer behavior, the consumer by chance with the
consumer emotion, and in view of this demand, adopts the more
advanced craft manufacture and the communication (promotion) the
way, enterprise and consumer's relations long-term preserve. In
view of the domestic some enterprises to the consumer demand's
assurance existence deviation, the marketing method is unitary, too
blindly believes in and so on to the communication technological
means that this case profits from the function.
