Customer service- Promotional Strategies

 Customer Service Report for Apple Store

This report outlines recent experience from apple store for the product which I purchased. I recently purchased Apple iphone 13 Pro max from one of the apple store and will go through the promotional strategies used by company and what they care about customers needs in this report.

1.       How does the company create awareness of its product?

Brand awareness is a very important component of brand power. Effective branding leads to being recognized and standout. This means company's product’s logo and marketing efforts should be providing knowledge and a level of enthusiasm that gets people excited to try your offerings.

According to a GraphicSprings study, Apple’s brand awareness tops all other global tech companies. Their ability to keep their branding simple, aesthetically pleasing, and also marketing in an exciting and informative way hugely contributes to their branding success.

2.    How does the company get consumers to try its product?

Trust is key. Brand’s influence is only as powerful as a consumer’s belief in company's name. Building trust requires communication, credibility, and sincerity with customers. A wonderful way to maintain these relationships is through excellent customer service. 

This is a huge component of Apple’s business philosophy. There are device support phone numbers and tech support personnel at every store to help when people are having trouble with their devices. They are patient when releasing new products to guarantee quality and consistency. Consumers trust their standard of excellence, which demonstrates how their branding influences perception. They do have live and active samples of the product and can be assisted by the employee when you purchase the product.

3. How does the company give information about the product to its customer?

Nowadays, most of the products details are explained online on their official website. So you can do initial research about the product before you purchase. If you still need better understanding and quickest way to gain knowledge about the product, every store in region has great employee working in the company's store to assist you with the product. all the detailed information can be gained by visiting in store personally or via call through customer service.

4. How does the company retain loyal customers?

Apple’s business model works in such a way that the more people spend on their products, the more valuable their investments become. Apple products work best with other Apple products. Whether it’s pairing different devices, connecting with Bluetooth, or even just iMessaging/Facetiming with other Apple users, they have fostered a sense of community and status that comes with owning their products. Before people can even consider switching to a new provider, they have to consider all they would be giving up. The brand loyalty that they have instilled in their customers has aided them in becoming the industry leaders that they are today.

5. How does the company entice the customer to buy more and use their product frequently?

People don’t buy iPhones by the tens of millions just because they like the hardware, though that’s a huge part of it, but because they’re tied into an ever-growing, sprawling ecosystem of software and services that allow you to do more with the products if you continue to invest in that ecosystem.

Walk into an Apple Store and trained employees will show you exactly how to use any of the Apple products you own. Or browse the shelves and purchase any number of products that’ll work seamlessly with your iPhone or iPad.

The Apple Store is also the company’s support hub, where you can go in with any questions, damaged products and more for assistance. If you have AppleCare+, the company’s premium warranty plan, it often costs very little to repair your expensive Apple products, sometimes in the same day.

6.What promotions does the company use to identify more customers?

Apple promotes their products through commercials and print ads, focusing on how their products are different from competitors. Commercial ads run when a product is first launched and print ads will run throughou.t the product's life
