A shopping product is a product on which the cutover spends a considerable amount of time before buying it. during this time the customer compares the product to others and the differences as well.

This year apple had a sales promotion. Apple had the " Back to School " Promo. If you were a student or teacher and purchased a Macbook, you would get a $100 dollar gift card, if you purchased and iPod or iPhone you would get a $50 dollar gift card. This sales Promotion runs from july 1 through out september 9th. according to other students i heard that last year they gave you and iPod with a purchase of a Macbook. Apple makes a profit out of this, you pay a high profit of one thousand to two thousand just to get $100 dollar gift card. these are strategies used by the company, but getting $100 gift card does seem good for the consumer, you can buy a apple accessory that you might need or been wanting which is great. While being in the apple store, Apple specialist do not use aggressive sales, they have a unique type of sales, they do not push you to buy more than what you need, they are there to actually help you with what you need, they give you all the details of the products and what its good for, for example when i went to buy a Macbook for school they gave me a variety of options, but told me which one would be great for school and the features it had, i was very satisfied, i was not pressured to buy it nor to buy any accessories, they were just great and helpful and thats why i would remain a loyal customer to apple.
Apple advertises In many ways, television, newspapers, and while you surfing the web!. Apple had been advertising since the 1970s based on some articles.

Apple ads really came into their heyday during the 1990s with their " think different " campaign, that's became really popular and features famous people.

When you walk towards apple you mostly see crowds of people around the Apple Store either walking into it or sitting outside enjoying their lunch & might even be enjoying the stores view due to its structure. The Apple Store in 5th avenue has a cube shape structure that is made of strong glass, and the Apple logo hangs right within the middle right on top. When going inside you have two options, either take the nice stairs or take the elevator made of glass down to the store floor. The elevator is made to look kinda of a futuristic look. Once your in the store the atmosphere feels great and welcoming , everything is simple and easy to find, there is music playing just right, not to low or not to high making you feel relaxed.

In order to make profits in your company, you have to think the way consumers do, put yourself in their shoes, think of how they act and the way they think. Consumers are always making decisions into either buying a new product or not, this is known as consumer decision-making process.
The following step would be Need Recognition. Need Recognition also known as problem identification is when the consumer discovers and unmet need that must be fulfilled. what causes this need is the popularity that our apple products cast upon people, mostly our handheld devices that you see almost everybody with everywhere around the city. the design that the product brings, the texture, and the features that come included with the product.
Due to the fact that I'm a consumer for apple just like every other loyal apple customer, before we buy an apple product we do research, we check how much prices will be, what new features it will come with. the research we consumers do is both external and internal. we always research the new products that come out and the differences of the new product with the past products. Mostly all of apples consumers/customers are loyal, they would not switch to another phone brand, as soon as a new handheld device is released they either upgrade to it or purchase it. as the photo seen above, its photo of a handheld device released in the apple store in 5th avenue, do you see how big and crowded the line is ? these are all loyal customers to apple who camp out for days before the release of the new product in order to obtain it first than most people. this is what you may call Need Recognition.
we the consumers reach a decision after we have done so much research, read so many reviews and have tested the product out and have even compared it to other products, thats how serious we do our research and come to a decision. Mostly everyone around us own iProducts making us want to get one as well, that is if you not an apple customer.
The photo shown above was then apple had released the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6Plus. the line in 5th ave was humongous it was just enormous, i herd it went around the block and further down. these are all consumers who want to get the latest model of iPhone. After buying a product the customers are satisfied and happy for what they have, making the market good money wise and the customer satisfied with a new advanced product, some, everyone ends up happy.
Some are just so excited they can't wait to open it, that rings might even go wrong haha. take it easy and wait to you get home buddy.
