    Today, marketing is focus more on satisfying customer needs and less on persuading them to buy. For this approach to be successful, marketers must understand their customers’ needs and provide products that meet them well. Marketers must also price and distribute their products effectively.
    KEY MARKETING STRATEGY #1
    Marketers should stop viewing their products and services in isolation. Instead, they should look at the bigger picture and determine how to create other benefits for customers; in doing so, they can create a lasting brand experience for consumers (Kolter & Armstrong, 2021). A great example of this is Apple. In designing the iPhone, the company enabled customers to make phone calls, send texts and multimedia messages, download apps, take pictures and videos, get directions, monitor their health, listen to podcasts and audiobooks, schedule meetings, and more. The company even prioritized iPhone sales over iPod sales, allowing it to become the primary device for listening to music; this decision was not entirely wrong as it vastly increased iTunes profits (CBD Radio, 2014). To enhance the overall iPhone experience, Apple has created an extensive catalogue of apps for its customers to choose from. Overall, the company considered its customers’ needs in the broader context of their overall experience.
    KEY MARKETING STRATEGY #2
    People want products and services that offer them the most satisfaction and value; it is essential to understand customers’ needs, wants, and demands to determine how to price products correctly (Kolter & Armstrong, 2021). This also includes studying competitors’ distribution methods and pricing strategies. Amazon’s Kindle is an excellent example of this, making reading more convenient and accessible to its consumer. When e-books began gaining popularity in 2007, Amazon released the Kindle. In 2010, Amazon decreased the price of its Kindle by more than half when Kobo was introduced at a lower cost (CBD Radio, 2014). Amazon has continued to produce lighter tablets, responding to customer demand.
    KEY MARKETING STRATEGY #3
    The digital age has ushered in a new marketing era, one that requires marketers to consider integrating and investing in digital marketing. Marketers should make it a priority to reach customers through new and different channels, including mobile apps and various online platforms. For example, social media can provide great opportunities for customer engagement, relationship-building, and brand-related conversations (Kolter & Armstrong, 2021). Additionally, in-game mobile app advertising can provide marketers with new opportunities to reach different markets. These platforms allow marketers to engage with consumers in real-time, allowing for meaningful discussions and quick feedback.

    From a MARKETERS PERSPECTIVE (not a consumers perspective), what are 3 key valuable marketing strategies & examples from this podcast you could potentially use to advise a business on their marketing strategies?
    When looking at what some key marketing strategies would be from a marketers perspective, some of the ideas and thoughts to keep in mind would be: “defining your product or service, knowing your competition, and being consistent” (Chance, 2020).
    KEY MARKETING STRATEGY #1
    Apple, Inc has defined what a smartphone should be since it was released in 2007. In a press release dated January 9, 2007, Steve Jobs says, “iPhone is a revolutionary and magical product that is literally five years ahead of any other mobile phone” and that, “We are all born with the ultimate pointing device—our fingers—and iPhone uses them to create the most revolutionary user interface since the mouse (Apple Newsroom, 2007). By calling the iPhone “magical” and “revolutionary”, this helped spark intrigue and wonder in customers who were seeing a phone with a full touch screen for the first time ever. To this day, Apple introduces “revolutionary” new features such as better computer chips, better cameras, and better screen every year to keep customers buying to newest and greatest iPhone every year.
    KEY MARKETING STRATEGY #2
    Netflix stays ahead of the competition using, “…innovation and the latest technology” giving it “more than 200 million subscribers by the end of 2020” (Haughey, 2021). Netflix advertises to customers through their smart phones even though most people watch Netflix on TV’s or other larger devices. Netflix, through extensive data collection from its subscribers, knows that many of their customers use social media so they use “cross-channel marketing campaigns” to “reach people wherever they are” (Haughey, 2021) even using email to market to new users and offering recommendations on what they user may like in order to lure them to the service and subscribing.
    KEY MARKETING STRATEGY #3
    Amazon introduced the Kindle e-reader in 2007 after Sony introduced the first e-reader in 2006 (CBC/Radio Canada, 2014). While e-readers have come and gone over the years, the Amazon Kindle has lived on in many different iterations, but one thing is for sure…it has consistently been known as an e-reader. While there is a Kindle Fire that is more like a tablet, all other Kindles are strictly e-readers, holding on to that consistency that Amazon knows readers are looking for.

    1. From a MARKETERS PERSPECTIVE (not a consumers perspective), what are 3 key valuable marketing strategies & examples from this podcast you could potentially use to advise a business on their marketing strategies?
    KEY MARKETING STRATEGY #1
    If developing an app for a phone, games are overwhelmingly the most downloaded of any app category. Therefore, creating an innovative and addictive game design could potentially rake in the most profits of any possible app idea.
    KEY MARKETING STRATEGY #2
    If you are an author of a book or a publisher, it would be advised to focus more on marketing and developing books for e-readers such as Amazon’s Kindle since the Kindle accounts for over 60% of e-readers and also the statistics that for every 150 sales of Kindle books there are 100 sales of paperback books. (O’Reilly, 2014) Therefore, there is a 50 book increase in sales chance for marketing a book via e-readers versus paperback while also covering over 60% of the market with the Kindle.
    KEY MARKETING STRATEGY #3
    If seeking to market advertisements, Youtube has grown as a huge advertisement option for marketers. Youtube itself has accumulated 5.6 billion dollars just from ad revenue. (O’Reilly, 2014) Also, Facebook is also indispensable for marketing as there has been 7.5 billion dollars in revenue from advertisements, which is up 55%. (O’Reilly, 2014) Overall, as a marketer seeking advertisement options, any of the large social media websites are great options for getting your product out there due to the large audiences available and the ease of application for advertising.
