TOK of the Week 每周知识论
TOK and Business
- To what extent does the brand influence customer's decision when buying a pruduct?
- Product vs. Brand
- A product is what customers buy to satisfy their needs and wants.
- A brand is not only a logo. It represents your connection with your customers.
- Both could be crucial factors influencing customers.
- Although customers want to buy the best products with the lowest costs, they would also want to buy brands that represent their personality as well.
- Branding of Apple
- When we think of Apple, we think of its minimalistic design, seamless user experience, and high quality.
- We can see these qualities not only in their products, but also theri monochrome logo and even their retail stores... These all contribute to the incredibly consistent brand image of Apple instilled in the customer's minds.
- "Think Different"
- Apple's campaign "Think Different" further builds the brand image of innovation and creativity. It represents the aspiration of the company, building a memorable brand personality.
- The Power of Brands: Apple Polishing Cloth
- A piece of premium fiber cloth on Amazon is worth $1.50.
- Apple put its logo on it and priced the same piece of cloth $19 each.
- This is because Apple products are not only tools. They represent a lifestyle choice and a form of self-expression.
- And people do buy it!
