Analysis of Apples Marketing Strategy and Management Model

Abstract

Apple, one of the worlds largest information technology companies, earns up to $100 billion a year, and its success depends not only on the companys distinctive products, but also on Apples ability to find exactly the right marketing approach for itself. The success of a company is not only to continuously attract new customers, but also to retain the old ones, so as to create more value for the company. This paper focuses on 4Ps strategy, SWOT strategy, STP strategy and supply chain based on actual cases of Apple. The findings are that Apple now has a good marketing strategy in the retailing of technology products but there are still some areas that need improvement. The purpose of this paper is that other companies can use the Apple case to learn from the strengths and improve on the weakness in order to develop unique marketing strategy that are applicable to their own companies.
