Marketing (Product Placement)
Creating Brand Value and Strength in the Consumer Market through Effective Product Placement

In a journal article written and researched by Peter Doyle (2001) entitled, "Building value-based branding strategies," the author elucidates on the importance of establishing brand value and strength and effective product placement as the foremost steps in implementing an effective marketing strategy. Analyzing through the previous experiences of large companies Xerox and Procter & Gamble, Doyle introduces the concept of "value-based strategy." Through the case studies of these two companies and integration of marketing theories and models, the author argues the point that indeed, brand value and strength and effective product placement are the most important strategies that must be adopted in marketing.

Prior to enumerating the benefits of adopting these marketing strategies to products and brands, Doyle analyzes initially the strengths of various players in marketing wherein brand value is determined to be most effective. He…...

Product placement not only in American television programs but any television shows anywhere in the world has become a vital means of advertising. It has emerged as one of the most powerful ways for a marketer to connect in a meaningful way with their consumer (Wong 2006) and will continually be a vital part in television programming in the United States and the world over. There may be cultural debates and controversies especially when American shows are shown abroad but these can be mitigated with better understanding on what is being presented and the consumers being responsible enough to make the right choices.

1923, in a letter to the editor of the New York Times, Gernsback wrote, "If the future of radio rests upon a foundation of advertising, it would be better that broadcasting did not exist at all." As much as radio advertisements bothered listeners, and continue to do so, advertising has been integral to radio's success. In the early days of radio at the beginning of the 20th century, "most radio stations were owned by businessmen, who used their stations to promote their own businesses," ("Advertising and Broadcasting go Hand in Hand"). In the 1920s, AT&T developed the model known as "toll broadcasting," which set the standard for all radio since then ("Advertising and Broadcasting go Hand in Hand"). By 1930, almost all (90%) of the radio stations in the United States broadcasted using the "toll" model, where operational costs were defrayed by selling advertisements. This "changed the way broadcast…...

The main difference between ocaine and other competitors is product placement; it has done a wonderful job of providing an underground advertising campaign that has caused even more people to become interested in it. Its current strategy of providing limited supplies has also helped to create greater hype for the product as it is only accessible through Peer to Peer websites such as Ebay and their primary sales website. Another strong factor in its favor is its increased dosage of caffeine. With 280 mg of caffeine per 8.5 ounce bottle, it easily outclasses the majority of competitors on the market. However, this high dosage may in fact work against the company in the future, as numerous doctors have come to the fore to attest to the health risks of drinking such much caffeine in one sitting.

This research article focused on the manner in which advertisements in the form of product placement in entertainment media (primarily movies and television) can be counterproductive. Specifically, the project set out to analyze the changes in attitudes toward a product among entertainment consumers as function of different types of product placement. The research concluded that some types of media consumers are more likely than others to respond positively to certain product placement strategies while other types of media consumers are actually more likely to react negatively and reduce their affinity for products (and brand images) advertised in this way. The results are obviously important to the advertising industry and to product manufacturers who prefer to maintain the most favorable public image…...

Both of these are just the beginning of contextual-based innovation in information management. The use of contextual taxonomies for example that manage all areas of potential interest in real-time from a smart phone such as the iPhone for example are coming. The personalization of content according to each person's interest is arriving today and will be pervasive soon. Thinking of this from a Business-to-Business (B2B) standpoint with suppliers, the speed of supply chains could be greatly increased if this type of knowledge were made available throughout a supplier network (Wagner, 2010).

What Apple does extremely well in this area however is convergence of innovation, from the operating systems on their laptops to the continually updated iTunes platform and the latest iTouch, iPad and iPhone, Apple has successfully created an ecosystem that generates not only innovation but tacit knowledge as well (Augustine, Yadav, Jain, athore, 2010).

Wal Mart was founded based upon the belief of providing customers with something more. Started in 1945, the company began as a single store in Bentonville, Arkansas. Out of this location, the owner (Sam Walton) sought out producers and suppliers who could offer him lower prices by purchasing in bulk. This savings was passed onto consumers in order to increase their bottom line results. ("Wal Mart Stores," 2012) (Soderquist, 2005)

Over the course of time, this basic formula was used to sell various products to consumers and increase the total number of locations. As a result, Wal Mart began offering a variety of goods to cliental to include: health / beauty aids, baby products, household chemicals, paper goods, pet supplies; electronics, toys, cameras, photo processing services, cellular phones, books, stationery, automotive accessories, hardware, sporting goods, clothing pharmacy / optical…...

Product Placement in Console Games
A growing body of research confirms that one of the best ways to reach male consumers aged 18 to 34 years is to place products in console games. Originally, game developers paid advertisers to include their products in games to lend them authenticity and realism, but advertisers are now paying game developers to have their products placed in popular console games. The introduction of online gaming series has created additional opportunities for product placement and current trends indicate that advertisers will be exploiting this marketing tool even more in the future. This paper provides a review of the relevant peer-reviewed and scholarly literature concerning product placement in console games, followed by a summary of the research and important findings in the conclusion.

new product requires several marketing considerations. There are many negative factors to product development that must be dealt with. There are also several factors that promote successful product development. Finally, product positioning and pricing are two important considerations.
Negative Factors

One of the negative factors is uncertainty. This is especially true if the product is not only a new product for the organization but also a new product for the industry. One example that shows this is the computer software industry. The uncertainty is present because of its nature as a new and pioneering industry. The industry is rapidly changing and companies in the industry must be continually innovative and make decisions based on limited information. There is no certainty in this industry that a successful company will remain successful. To give an example, we can consider Apple-Macintosh. Apple-Macintosh had first-mover advantages as the first to develop a graphical user interface…...

The iPad is also differentiated with the screen technology, internal memory size and support for expanded Application Programmer Interface (API) calls so developers can create applications for it quickly. This has led to many news organizations creating iPad-specific applications to further promote their content, and also has led to many universities creating entire courses delivered on the iPad.
From a promotion standpoint, Apple excels at event marketing and the ability to manage multichannel marketing programs. The launch was coordinated across all Apple retail locations, which is how the company uses promotions and distribution to its advantage. Apple concentrates on promotions to drive traffic into their stores, in effect uniting these two areas of the marketing mix. Promotion is also heavily influenced by Steve Jobs, who heavily promote the iPad during the launch event in San Francisco.

DC Marketing
Marketing Overview for DC/DC Converter

Product Description

The product being marketed is a DC/DC converter built to receive an input of twenty volts (20V) and produce an output of twenty-four volts (24V). This could be used in many applications; any device or equipment setup where a specific component or element requires 24V to operate but the battery source produces a fixed output of 20V would require a converter such as the product being offered.

Customer Description and Market Size

The precise type of customer depends on the scale of the switch converter, and it would be possible to develop two or more products with different physical sizes and efficiency levels; smaller switch converters are utilized as integrated components of many electrical device -- i.e. they would be built into the device by the manufacturer and never directly seen or utilized by end consumers, like converters in computers, cell phones, and more -- while…...

Goodyear's Aquatred Launch
Product positioning is of immense importance for any business, and can be especially crucial in the case of a new brand or product launch, as the company is now tasked not only with making a recognizable product, but in making it recognizable in a specifically and consciously derived manner (Daniels, 2012; ies & Trout, 2000). This is no less true of the Aquatred, a new tire being launched by Goodyear (at the time of this case), and in fact positioning is all the more important given the level of change that has been occurring in the tire industry and the high level of international competition that has long existed and that has recently increased (Isaacson, 1993). This brief examination of the Aquatred's positioning and Goodyear's efforts and intentions makes it clear how important effective positioning can be, and the understanding required of a market and industry to…...

price for the Zartek technology, the most appropriate approach is to start by looking at the value it is expected to create. The net income for each of the years have been provided. However, under the concept of the time value of money, income received in the future will have a lower value compared to the same amount held today. Inflation will erode the value of money, while money held today may be invested for a return for the future (Drake & Fabozzi, 2009). Therefore, the first stage is to look at the future net revenue streams and discount them to allow for the time value of money. Giving a present value (PV). This is undertaken by discounting each year's net revenue on a compound basis (Drake & Fabozzi, 2009). As it is assumed the interest rate for the 5 years is 7%, the discount factor used will be…...
