Samsung marketing compaign
Market segmentation- segmentation of market involves a set of activities performed in a
sequence. These activities are the essence of Samsung marketing strategy. Segmentation
involves dividing customers into different groups on the basis of their common characteristics.
There are a different way of segmentation as Samsung is very famous company who is dealing
with numbers of new products and electronics products.
Multi- segmentation: Samsung targets more than one segments where they one product and there
are lots of functions in the same thing. Like Samsung phone there are several variations of
Samsung smart signage professional displays, led lights, different variants in camera.
Imitate positioning- Samsung is known for imitative its main competitor which apple they copy
them in some the functions (Groeger and Buttle., 2016).
Anticipatory positioning- some phones of Samsung is low in turnover however these products
such as mobile camera, image sensors and display, android updates and many more.
Geographic segmentation of Samsung mobiles is in the 80 countries in worldwide. And its
density among urban and rural areas as well. In demo-graphic section they divide gender and life
cycle stage among bachelors and adults.
Target marketing of samsung- Samsung’s targets a very wide range of consumers ranging
from normal day to day usage devices to industrial standard equipment. The usual target age
group of customers range from the 20 years to 50 years or even older, as long as the person has
the ability to purchase and use the products that Samsung has to offer in the market. Samsung is
In the very big and wide range of consumers ranging from normal user. The teenagers to early
adults from the age of 14 to 25 are especially targeted because these users are easy to capture and
this group of customers Is growing as Samsung saw that this group has more productive (Dahl,
Eagle and Low., 2015).

The largest portion in the Samsung target market where they capture most of the customer are
from this is the largest portion of Samsung’s target market as this is the group of consumers that
have the most ability to purchase any of the product Samsung has to offer in the market be it
smartphones, smart television, cameras or any other household products like vacuum cleaners or
washing machines. This portion of customers will continue to grow in the years to come.
product positioning, : Samsung have newer and innovative products that same in the market
very frequently and fast and Samsung is the worlds leading smartphones sellers in the market of
united kingdom, India and united states of America. They different way of brand positioning
they positioned the product in the among the young and adults (Fortenberry and McGoldrick.,
2016).
Comparative study of samsung with apple and Intel Samsung and apple are the most famous
competition in the market where they have fight with the marketing strategy and new products
and innovation in marketing of new smart phones But there is a difference between Apple and
Samsung's ultra-wide-angle cameras. Samsung's offers a 123-degree field of view, while Apple's
is slightly narrower at 120 degrees. Samsung run there policies and strategies in the different way
and apple have different way. But the Intel is not into the electronic items like Televisions and
mobiles which is the biggest advantage and also Samsung provides the budget friendly phones in
the market and here Apply goes out from the competition because people cannot afford the
iPhones because of their cost and maintenance and also the expensive operative system i.e.,
MAC is not available freely which is also the major issue for the Apple and this is the biggest
advantage of Smasung.
Apple (Get A Mac) campaign
Apple launched it's first got a mac commercial in 2 may 2006. TBWA/Chiat/Day advertising
agency created the campaign. In the first year apple company has launched 19 ads (Harding,
2017). apple has established an image as a great innovator of the industry when it comes to
technology. The title of THE inncovator, apple has earned this title through it beloved products
which are sleek, clever & most visual appealing. The campaign 'Get a Mac' was one of the best
approach of company Apple to establish a brand identity & loyal following in the industry.
Market segmentation
For market segmentation apple has launched 66 campaigns continuously in one year. To distract
the public from using PC to MAC (Scott and Scott, 2016). Apple has launched the campaign in

which there were two actors are there in which one is using MAC and other one is using PC. In
the advertisement the MAC user seem to be young funny guy who always do the right things.
While on the other hand actor using PC seems to be older man who is uptight and all it cares
about work and no creativity (Venkatesh., 2015).
Target marketing
Initially this campaign of GAM was released not to target very 'tech savvy' person. The company
apple mainly targeted on the average individual who uses pc, but they not quite sure what else
they can do with the software. The company also focused on the public who has never thought of
buying the MAC before this campaign launched.
Product positioning
Before the campaign, sale of the apple seemed to be slowly decreasing (Baker and Saren, eds.,
2016). The market of the Apple was struggling to convince the audience that there product is
better than that of the other company. As apple wanted to make the people aware of the benefits
of using MAC. Apple showed their product as superior by taking the weaknesses of the PC as the
strength of the apple company. The company states that PCs are always prone to viruses and
showed the audience that they don't have such issues (Aithal and Jeevan, 2016).
Differentiation and customer-driven marketing strategy
Throughout the campaign the main message was that MAC is better computer & overall a nicer-
guy while showing PC is being arrogant, unreasonable, mean, boring and specific to work.
Moreover, the display of MAC gives the sense of energetic vibe, overall cool, humility & caring.
The most common strategy used by the apple company in the campaign was showing the product
with the theme of simplicity. Next strategy was every episode they aired, they highlighted a
specific PC they had. Another strategy used by the campaign was to highlight the problems PC
had. The strategy used by the MAC was to show that PC looks bad, mainly worse than the
company (Machado and Davim, eds., 2016). Perhaps the strategy used by apple is too able to
capture the audience and keep them interested and attentive within the complete campaign. This
ultimately increased the sales of the apple company. Apple provides the best in class
performance and quality of the phones and the latest Iphone is 11 series is the biggest
achievement of the Apple and also this company is regularly doing the expansion in the other
countries which gives the biggest hike to this company and make this company number one in
the world.

The campaign Get a Mac turned to be the great success for apple. The company was effectively
able to show that they are selling the best product in the market, the product which is more
attractive and looks cool. Thus, the campaign proved to be the extremely effective and captured
the targeted audience. And proved to be the best advertising campaign of the decade (Quelch,
2017).
