Business Lessons From Apple Computer

 

"Business has only two functions

marketing and innovation."

Business lessons from Apple Computer   

Steve Jobs has build Apple's brand on two basic business principals innovation and marketing.  

Apple has created cutting edge product innovation that their customers readily embrace and freely recommend.

As a result of their product innovation Apple has created generations of raving fans.

The proof of this is you have apple store in mall or shopping center, that store is normally the busiest store in the center. Apple attracts people into their stores like a magnet.  

Their customers early adapters and have created buzz marketing for the Apple innovated products.   

Apples' marketing is not an over the tops expensive marketing program, its grass roots that as no direct cost to the company.  

Apples customers have freely created buzz marketing for the company as a result of Apple's innovational products and the customer overall satisfaction of the products.

Similar products to Apple sell for less, but the people returning to Apple to buy their innovated products.

Steve Jobs is a marketing genius. He always have something new coming out. Last new thing that he created was the Ipad. By the way,I have finished writing this blog,he probably would've created the IRecorder-A device that can record your voice and send it via e-mail or text. LOL. Great post.

It is true! Apple customers are diehards.  My son is one, and now as a college student works in an Apple Store.  The store is incredibly busy! What recession?
