4. Suppose Rolex managers decided to intensify distribution by broadening its reseller base (currently highly selective jewelers, etc.); argue for/against selling a line of $500.00 – $1500 Rolex watches through Walmart, targeting working and middle class people who want to look/feel more successful – aspirational; wanting to look one/two social class(es) higher.
