As everyone knows, Apple has grown rapidly and has gained
its popularity for the last ten years. The first Apple’s product that I had was
iPod. I bought this iPod in 2003 and I thought it was the coolest portable music
player at that time. After few years Apple launched iPod in 2001 or 2002, Apple
launched variety-interesting products, such as iPhone and MacBook. With the
greatest tablet has ever made by Apple, iPad just flew off the selves like
crazy.
Steve Jobs is the main reason for Apple’s success. He is one
of the greatest, the most creative, and innovative person that succeeded in
making Apple to be a gigantic company. Every year, Apple designs and launches
products that were even better than before. Steve Jobs was the one who planned
the idea of adding a slightly significant service to current product and
promoting it as a new evolution, such as iPhone 4s. With the additional feature
of voice detection, Apple succeeded in causing people agreed to change their phone
from iPhone 4 into iPhone 4s. As Apple
fans get new product on their hand, I imagine, they probably get the feeling
that they are reborn into a better life. The ideas of being simple and
efficient are the keys of Apple products, which have brought Apple to be the
role model for other software and hardware companies, include Samsung’s Galaxy
Tab, Google’s Android, etc.
The majority of the companies have their special sales team
who will get commission through the products that they have sold, and thus,
bringing them to adopt push promotional strategy. However, Apple pursues
different system, which then has become Apple’s differentiating value over its
competitors. Apple employees are trained not to insist customer to buy their
products. Therefore, they will not get commission from it. Instead, Apple
employees use pull strategy by showing to their prospective consumers how great
Apple products is. I witness myself on how Apple employees approach its
customers. The customers can try the products in the store by themselves and
also any Apple’s employee will assist them personally if they are confused.
They will give a detail explanation on how creative and innovative Apple
products are. This promotional strategy will give a better environment for customers
to enjoy their shopping experience and for employees to have no burden in insisting
customers.
