7. Methodology COLLECTING DATA Search Queries Entered into search engines, the search queries collected in the WorldWatchReport encompass a large semantic field related to the brands and include synonyms, plurals and misspells. Languages A part of these search queries is in English whereas the other part is translated into each key market language : simplified Chinese, Russian, Portuguese, Hindi, Japanese, English, German, French and Italian. Search Engines Based on Google, Yahoo! and MSN – as well as Yandex in Russia - the WorldWatchReport covers more than 90% of overall Internet searches in the UK, Japan, the US, Italy, France, Germany, India and Russia. In China alone, these major search engines have a penetration rate of 35.6%. (Analysys, January 2010). Data Collection and Analysis Public and professional tools are used to automate search volumes collection, thanks to IC-Agency’s strong partnerships with search engines. Once collected, this data is filtered analyzed and translated into 9 intentions (brands, models, replicas, etc.) with the help of exclusive IC-Agency technology. Harmonization As multi-products brands, such as Cartier, Chopard or Bulgari, generate significantly more search volume than watch-only brands, data is harmonized to identify watch-only demand and excluding demand for other products (for ex. Jewelry, mobile phones, etc.). Similar corrections have been made for brands whose names could be mingled with other products, such as Montblanc and Omega.
8. Methodology TRANSLATING SEARCH QUERIES INTO CONSUMER INTENTIONS For each brand, data collected is automatically translated into search intentions: Example of search queries Translated search Intentions « piaget » Brand « ballon bleu cartier » Model « fake rolex » Replica « chopard retailer » Distribution « breguet bracelet » Accessory « blancpain second hand » Preowned « raymond weil price » Price « hublot replacement » Repair « breitling homepage » Others
15. Global Geographic Search Origin “ Italians have always had a love affair with luxury watches. In fact, Italy remains one of the hottest markets for the likes of vintage Rolex watches in the world” Benjamin Clymer, Publisher, Hodinkee, USA “ The US consumer is hungry for information. Over 70% of customers who walk into our store have done online research first. They are approaching the purchase of a watch the same way that a car is purchased, and are gathering all pertinent details prior to stepping up to the counter. The Internet provides such a broad spectrum of information, and the instantaneous nature makes the process stress-free.” Danny Govberg, President and Owner, Govberg Jewelers, USA “ French high-end luxury watch consumers are not numerous, especially if we consider Paris, where 70 to 80 % of the buyers are foreigners.” Laurent Picciotto, Owner of Chronopassion, and FHH Ambassador France OPINIONS
27. Global Brand Market Share These results “ are perfectly in line with the market evolution of both established and emerging markets. The new markets are particularly interesting as the level of brand searches are based on their offline visibility, recognition and perceptions.” Uché Okonkwo, Executive Director, LuxeCorp, Author of “Luxury Online” (Palgrave, 2010), France “ These results show special regional associations with particular brands to have a high impact on consumer interest in those countries. Otherwise you would likely see a correlation between product availability and Internet searches.” Ariel Adams, aBlogtoRead.com, USA OPINIONS
