It's Just a Whole Lotta APPLES!!!

Hey everyone

Welcome back!

In today's blog we will be discussing APPLES or better yet APPLE (people may start getting hungry thinking it’s the fruit lol). NO guys the APPLE we will be talking about today is not the fruit, though I could use some right now myself, rather it’s about the Company who has a lot of new products on the market.

We will be talking about the new APPLE Watch that is scheduled to be release soon and the APPLE TV. It's just one big APPLE TAKE OVER!

The first thing I would like to talk about is the APPLE Watch. This watch is set to be released in April to the public. I thought it sounded interesting and went online to take a look.

I was going to say cheapest version, but we all know this ain't cheap. The one that costs the least is $549.00 . You heard me and if you didn't I'll say it again $549.00.They range from this price all the way to $12,000.00.You can check out the photos below.

I personally cannot afford any of these watches and I am pretty sure there are a lot of people who are in the same boat as me. 

I agreed with my Marketing Professor that, "If I am paying $12,000 for a gold watch, I want to be able to see the gold. They should have made the wristbands gold."

Now something else that APPLE now has on the market is the APPLE TV. The APPLE TV gives you access to millions of tv shows and movies by just plugging it in. Not just that, but anything on your iCloud or your iTunes account can now be connected to your television.
What exactly are you "plugging in"?

                           
Before, if you had a HBO subscription, you would be able to connect your subscription to your APPLE device. Now what's so new about this is that APPLE is now making it possible to subscribe to HBO without the need of a cable or satellite contract.

Now as a way of connecting this to Marketing, we should look at ways in which the word about this new product is reaching the ears of the consumers. One way in which this is happening is through the different social medias, especially facebook. With everyone talking and sharing the information, they are doing the promotion of the product for APPLE. Maybe companies should look into facebook as a free promoter.
Check out this video I found about the new watch.

Before we go please check out Get Hard trailer. Coming to theaters Friday March 27, 2015.

Until Next Time My Fellow Marketers!

Grumpy Cat: Been grumpy since 2012

Hey everyone,

Welcome back!

Sorry I haven't been here for a while. I've been caught up with classes and everything. Not to fear I'm here!

In today's blog we will be discussing the one and only (drum roll please) GRUMPY CAT!

So you may have seen her around and some may think her face is hilarious. I thought so as well lol.

Anyway this little girl's real name is Tartar Sauce. 

http://i.huffpost.com/gen/2364914/images/o-GRUMPY-CAT-facebook.jpg

She was born with her face looking like that.This was the result of and underbite and feline dwarfism.  The reason I decided to talk about her today is not only because she is funny and I can't get enough, but rather because I am going to be comparing her to  marketing. 

Talking to my friends, one of the questions that they had was "How can you write a blog about the Grumpy Cat and Marketing?" I looked at them as if they were crazy, but then proceed to break things down for them. I will give an overview of what I said to them.

Grumpy Cat made a name for herself, not only because of the look on her face, but also because of the dedication of all her fans. 

She has things from mugs, magnets to even outfits.

         

 I mean come on. Does a cat need this much stuff? I know what you're thinking, she's starting to sound Grumpy. Fitting isn't it? But Honestly there is no stopping this CAT!

When the question was brought up as to who Grumpy Cat customers were, we said it was mainly targeting women. One reason for this is because of the coffee that they sell, cappuccino. Most men do not enjoy drinking their coffee filled with sugar like women do and Cappuccino= drinking pure sugar. 

Tartar Sauce can even say that she has "people." I can't even say that. She  has taken the different social medias by a storm. From Facebook, to Twitter. Don't believe me? I've attached the links below:

Most humans aren't even as popular as he is. 

I have provided you all with the link to her website below. On there you will also find replicas of the photos you've seen above and of her many different products. Let me know what you think.

The thing that I like best about Grumpy Cat is some of the memes that I have seen. It's as if she knows how I feel about life sometimes or how I feel about people who live to annoy us!
