Evaluation of the Marketing Strategy of iPod

Evaluating the marketing strategy of iPod The product I examined was "iPod with Video". I chose to make this product as I know it is pretty good, and since the release in 2001 there were several iPods. It is a very popular product not only because of its advanced technology but also because it became a fashion statement. I believe that success will continue to increase, that is why I chose it. To continue my investigation, I need to gather various information that will help me to make final recommendations to the company.

The Apple iPod described below is Apple's iPod. First, after listing the contents of available products, we will explain the marketing strategies they are using. I chose the iPod for the current position on the market, and since I owned it I know it. Apple's iPod is one of the top products in the field of portable media players. It has successfully maintained its position for its unique software and design that consumers want it.

iPod is one of Apple's most successful and innovative products with a perfect product line. For different market segments, iPods have different product lines. While the iPod shuffle is the low-end market, the new video iPod occupies the high-end market, users can enjoy the full range of audio-visual awareness, and iPod nano occupies the mid market. . (Zhang Ming, 2010) iTunes achieved steady profit growth over the long term. With iTunes, the customer pays for each download. iPod seems to be more profitable than iTunes, but the key to success is iTunes integration. From this point of view, iTunes not only provides a new profit model to Apple, it also provides a stable long-term source of profit. (Xiaosa, 2010)

Apple iPod propaganda communication should focus on Apple Computer's corporate strategy to expand market share. Since the iPod is still in the growth phase of the product lifecycle, the purpose of promotion should be to "persuade customers to purchase and keep purchasing" all Apple products as well as iPods. In order to successfully achieve Apple's goal, you need to implement a marketing mix that pushes the iPod into that channel and pulling the iPod by asking the intermediary about the iPod for the baby boomers generation. Apple uses wholesale distributors to push iPod to target markets, offering incentives such as "purchase 100 iPods and purchase ten free of charge" and offer sales contests to in-house sales staff.
