5 Key Takeaways From Apple
Marketing Strategy
Here are the major critical takeaways from Apple Marketing Strategy:
1. Tapping into your target markets and audience is the key to curating and selling user
experiences that value the preferences of its people.
2. With simplicity and finesse in design, the right products with minimal designs and
features can create a perfect impact for your brand.
3. Incorporating emotion in your advertising and marketing can also help you connect with
your audience better.
4. Don’t exaggerate the copy and conceptualizing of your advertising and marketing
campaigns and prefer the “less is more” approach. Create shorter yet emotional and
empathetic ads to captivate your target audience.
5. When you create an international brand value through quality and minimal, sophisticated
design, you don’t need to compete in terms of price. Instead, your price will set you
apart for your user experience and design features.
Besides this primary classification, Apple also explicitly targets
professionals working in specialized software like music, video,
photography and all kinds of design careers. These working
professionals prefer Adobe’s Final Cut, Photoshop and related
editing software which work well with Macbooks and IPads than
other operating systems.
Even better, business professionals prefer Apple products such
as iPods and Macbooks for their day-to-day work. Products like
iPads and Macbooks are lighter and portable, so they are often
selected by students (upper-class), educational institutions and
teaching.
