Primary Research Analysis & Recommendations:

Currently xylys is a Market Challenger for premium watch brand Tissot in its category. Category Development Index (CDI) is constant (20%) for premium watch segment , hence to capture the market share the Brand Development Index (BDI) for xylys should be higher than 20% Xylus should focus on offering Value sales proposition for selling under organised retail sector Under unorganised retail sector the selling should be volume based.

Primary Research: Total of 44 responses collected across various sectors by online surveys & field surveys. Awareness found for xylys but users were unaware that xylys is a brand from Titan before buying.

Opportunities / Gaps for Xylys : Prioritized as per Primary Research done at Retail Outlets A Survey was conducted in 7 Retail Stores including Multi Brand Retail Stores in Chennai Area. The Inferences & Opportunity analysis is done based on the Gap Analysis tool as shown below.

Opportunities for Xylys: Through primary research we have identified Brand Recall for Xylys is extremely low for its category . Also awareness need to be created that xylys belongs to house of Titan . Xylys designs doesnt appeal customers much . Women mostly choose Raga over xylys and Youth choose Fast Track over Xylys.

Inference: The Reason multi Brand Retail stores does not sell xylys is because customers dont prefer to buy it in lieu of above reasons and competition from Tissot & Casio are eating its market share.
