Background Of Fastrack
8/2/2019 Fastrack Mps
13/90
Timex had entered the Indian market through a joint
venture with Titan and which was their offering for the
youth market.
When that JV broke off in 1997 and Timex went
independent,
there was a gap in Titans portfolio and it only made senseto fill that need through their offering.
Fastrack was launched as a range of watch ware under Titan
and was called Titan Fastrack.
8/2/2019 Fastrack Mps
14/90
Subsequently, it grew from a range
to a sub-brand, where Titan was
upfront in the logo and the
association was strong.
They used the jazzy version of the
Mozart tune, which is Titans
signature tune. So, the link with
Titan was very strong.
When they launched, they targetedpredominantly the early jobber 23-
30 year-old male executive. It was
only a year or two later that they
launched a line for women.
8/2/2019 Fastrack Mps

Re-launch Of Fastrack
8/2/2019 Fastrack Mps
16/90
They took off and did well in the start but started stagnating
in 2001-2003, and thats when they went for a reality check.
Titan had simultaneously launched the steel collection,whichwas an attempt to contemporize for a Titan audience.
But what was happening was the collection in terms of
looks, price point and consumer buying behaviour was very
similar to Fastrack, including advertising.
The parent brand needed to continue in its endeavor tokeep it contemporary and hence repositioned Fastrack to
younger audience in sub-25 range.
8/2/2019 Fastrack Mps
17/90
Awareness of Fastrack was very low and was linked to Titan.
There was no independent identity. Research had also
shown that the fact that it had the backing of Titan was a
positive assurance.
However, kids didnt like to be serious and sober like their
parents. Fastrack needed to break away and hence changed
the logo to bring in a youthful, spontaneous, energetic and
fun identity and also removed Titan from the upfront
association in the logo.
They however, kept it at the bottom, saying its a Titan
product. This helped carry the assurance of the trusted Titan
brand. They also stopped using the Mozart tune in
advertising.
8/2/2019 Fastrack Mps
18/90
Fastrack was launched with new products, a new identity,
new advertising and a new logo in June 2005.
The year took off so well that they ran out of stock very
quickly and ended the year with a 150 per cent growth and
the demand was growing continuously.
Next year, they recorded another 100 per cent growth.
8/2/2019 Fastrack Mps
19/90
When re-launch was started, Fastrack brand was worth
about Rs 29 crore but however they have grown almost ten
times of that over the last three years.
Fastrack has a presence in over 6000 outlets across 800
towns, with new exclusive brand kiosks in Metro Malls andits multichannel distribution network which covers the 228
strong World of Titan Network, 122 Large Format Chain
stores viz. Shoppers Stop, Lifestyle, Central, Westside,
Pantaloons and Multibrand watch & optical outlets.

Fastrack is actually among the few brands where people
come asking for the brand. They have adopted a fashion
based strategy, where they launch about 3-4 collections in a
year in both categories. Collection-based strategy hashelped them very well.
It has been twin approach of constantly innovating on
product design, yet being affordable, and to reach out to
consumers in a language that connects to them that led to
their success.
Its not your typical fashion brand talking down saying you
must look cool and you must look like me. With their
advertising, they were able to relate to the youth in a setting
they were familiar with.
8/2/2019 Fastrack Mps

Fastrack, in its journey to being a fashion accessories brand
has expanded its portfolio to now include not just watches

accessories storeand thats just what theyve done!
