Re: 06 Analyse one reason why wants are more important than needs for a business that sells luxury watches.
[KN] For a luxury watch business, wants are more important than needs because the product is not essential.
[AAP]For instance, Rolex sells watches that people buy for prestige, even though they could check the time on their phone.
[AN] This leads to status appeal, premium pricing, and brand differentiation.As a result, the entire value of the business depends on maintaining a strong brand image and customer desire rather than meeting basic needs.

[KN]Wants are more important than needs for a luxury watch business because the product is not essential.
[APP]Customers already have their need (telling the time) met through cheaper watches or phones. Demand for luxury watches like Rolex depends on the customers desire for exclusivity.
[AN] Focusing on branding and custom made watches (a want for consumers) is necessary for the business as those are the main things that increase demand for a luxury watch business.

Re: 06 Analyse one reason why wants are more important than needs for a business that sells luxury watches.
[Kn] as luxury watches are purely a want and not a need [app] as one can fulfil the need of knowing the time by using there phone or a clock rather than buying luxury watches such as a cartier [an] furthermore brand image is everything for a luxury business as if they dont have a good one consumers may not buy from them this may lead to revenue losses which further lead to budget cuts within the company

Re: 06 Analyse one reason why wants are more important than needs for a business that sells luxury watches.
KN: Wants are more important for a luxury watch business as the need for checking time can also be fulfilled with mobile phone whereas the luxury watches are just a want.
APP: For Example a luxury watch brand like rolex provides the option for customizing the watch for limited editions and its value appreciates with time, which also attracts the customers as an investment opportunity.
AN: By fulfilling the wants of the customers the company can charge higher prices, Earn More profits and differentiate itself from other brands.

Re: 06 Analyse one reason why wants are more important than needs for a business that sells luxury watches.
(KN)Because people will purchase luxury watches only for the purpose of fashion, they would buy any cheaper watch if they wanted a watch just for functionality.
(APP)For instance, "Rolex" is a popular watch producer which sells watches with unique designs because of which it charges a higher price as compared to a watch manufacturer that just produces basic and plain watches, because people want to buy it's watches to boost social status.
(AN)This in turn means that the business that sells luxury watches will earn more sales revenue in comparison to a business that produces simple watches, allowing it to expand through advertising or releasing more designs to attract more customers leading to an increase in popularity and market share.

Re: 06 Analyse one reason why wants are more important than needs for a business that sells luxury watches.
(KN)when in a competing business environment a business would want to stand out and showcase unique features
(APP)eg Rolex customers don’t just buy watches to tell time but it also a status symbol,
(AN)meaning wants for luxury watches are driven by emotions, this also allows them to charge premium prices depending on how many unique features are there or how much the resources that were used to make it costed.

Re: 06 Analyse one reason why wants are more important than needs for a business that sells luxury watches.
[KN]Because luxury watches can only be afforded by rich people therefore wants are more important in this case.
[APP]The basic role of a watch is to tell time which can be done by a cheaper watch aswell but in the case of luxury watches brands like rolex creates prestige for the user wearing it making it a want.
[AN]Thus wants drive the demand for luxury products which leads towards long term brand loyalty hence a rise in consumer base and generating large sums of revenue.

Re: 06 Analyse one reason why wants are more important than needs for a business that sells luxury watches.
[KN]Wants are products that people desire to improve their lifestyle which is important for a business selling watches
[APP]A business selling high end watches relies on customers who demand high end products. Thus focusing on wants allows the business to charge premium prices as customers are willing to pay more
[AN+]Thus this leads to higher profit margins compared to other businesses thus leading to potential brand loyalty

Re: 06 Analyse one reason why wants are more important than needs for a business that sells luxury watches.
[kn] Wants are things people desire but don’t actually need for survival while needs are essentials. [Ap] A business that sells luxury watches relies on people’s wants because no one really needs a Rolex or Omega to tell the time, they already have phones or cheaper watches. [An] This means wants are more important than needs for such a business, since customers buy luxury watches to show status, style, or success. Without focusing on these wants the business wouldn’t have much demand so wants drive sales and profit.
