selective television programs and prestigious
events.

produced.)
• Increase sales profit percentage to more than the

growth per year.
15. Hans Wilsdorf Foundation

Foundation, which is registered as a charity and does

evidence regarding the amount of charitable
donations made by the Wilsdorf Foundation.

18. • This marketing plan summarizes the main points of how Rolex
will market their wristwatches to a younger generation than the
current target market.
• This expansion will allow Rolex to move into an untapped area
that needs education on the value of a high-quality time piece.
• In order to properly address this objective, Rolex needs to
update their marketing strategy to include a greater presence in
advertisements that target this younger market as well as a
strong showing in the social media realm.
