    Understanding the mind of a consumer is a puzzling process. It is important to consider that no single factor explains why consumers behave as they do. Rather, there are external and internal factors in addition to environmental factors that contribute to and help solve the puzzle. According to Perner (2008), consumer behavior is "the study of individuals, groups, or organizations and the processes they use to select, secure, use, and dispose of products, services, experiences, or ideas to satisfy needs and the impacts that these processes have on the consumer and society.” When marketing products, it imperative that Apple analyzes the impact of external and internal influences on consumer behavior and marketing strategies to connect with its target market. Team A will illustrate external and internal influences faced by Apple, and analyze the impact that these influences have on the Apples marketing strategy. Team A will also identify environmental factors that could influence consumer’s perception of Apples marketing strategies. To market its products more effectively, it is essential that Apple uses its resources to better understand consumer behavior.…

    My friend just recently purchased the Apple I-phone 4. She made the decision after she found out that she can use the smartphone to communicate with her son face to face while he is in training out of state. Her previous phone, a Samsung LG did not have nearly as much capabilities as her new smart phone. Apple has proven to market very innovative products that will allow consumers to do just about anything with a touch of a button. Apple thinks outside the box when it comes to strategic marketing and product building. The company has been profiting from a strong marketing segmentation for years. My friend has had an awesome experience with her I-Phone and is looking to purchase the I-Pad. I can believe that many people like her will be dropping their simple products and picking up a more smart and innovative Apple device. In this paper I will discuss how Apple has utilized successful marketing segmentation to become the leader in technology. Through market segmentation, Appls has proven to value its customer’s needs. Apple has positioned itself in the market environment, by introducing products that suits everyone. Competition can be tight especially in the world of technology. But Apple may have set a very high standard that is too far for the competition to reach. From the youngest to the youngest at heart, Apple has a great deal to offer. This generation of children will probably take Apple to the next level. Apples product life cycle, has already outlived its visionary, Steve Jobs. The company itself has proven to have built a lasting brand for lifetimes to come.…

    Strategic Posture Focus on making the best product, and rewards will follow. In fact, Apple 's new partners are signing up in spite of, rather than because of, Jobs ' rules of engagement. Apple makes little pretense of building a level playing field, but routinely picks favorites—such as Google for building mapping and video applications for the iPhone. And rather than aim for the most partners, Apple focuses on attracting the best ones. As a result, the Mac and iPod feel more like a gated, elitist community, with Apple keeping close watch over who gets in. "The notion of a platform is a very PC-oriented way of looking at the world," says Silicon Valley financier Roger McNamee. "Consumers just want a great experience. They don 't buy platforms."…
