 Creativity: The Google merchandise Store is more creative and innovative that helps in
attracting more and more customers or people to be part of it. The company have
objective to add 40000 new customers every financial year so in order to achieve the set
goals it focus on making the website more creativity and innovative. Likewise, it has
provided all crucial information about the company and its products on the official
website that has helped customers in taking right decision (Bradford and Boyd, 2020).
Such as it contain information of all products ranging from adult to kid clothes to
accessories i.,e mug, lip balm and lamp that helps in making aware customers about
products in which company deals so that they can purchase to satisfied their wants in
effective way. Furthermore, it has retained creative team, individuals that have skills,
qualification as well as capabilities to make more creative content, add relevant image
and other special feature on the website (Suher and Hoyer, 2020). So, that customers can
be attracted as well as engaged in the google merchandise store for satisfying their
respective requirements. In addition to this it is global merchandise store that emphasis
on creativity, innovative and environmentally conscious sourcing for yielding optimum
outcome. It has make best use of available innovative and creative technology that can
helps in providing seamless experience to the customers and enhancing brand image. On
the other hand, Amazon have only 54% market share of products search while Google is
popular search engine as it is used by maximum number of people. So amazon has also
focus on making more creative content as google so that more customers can be easily
attracted. On the other side Apple Company is also not as strong as Google Merchandise
Store when it comes to exploring search engines.

 Communication: Marketing campaign of the Google mercenary store usage simple
language that the customer can easily get influenced against the marketing campaign of
organisation. The feature of the marketing activities conducted by the company tend to
utilise the easy and convince language that can support the overall growth of the
company in the respective target market. Communication become the key as it allows the
campaign to interact with the potential customer in the market. Language is an important
characteristic associated with the marketing activity entertained by the organisation (Li
and et.al., 2018). The role of communication become essential in the marketing activity
entertained by company as it direct the growth of the promotional activities entertained
by the organisation. The significance of the marketing activity belongs over the
fundamental and factors like how effectively the promotion activity of company
communicate with its target customer base of the organisation. The feature of the
promotional activity allows the Google Merchandise store favour the business
organisation to effectively communicate with all class and category of customer base.
The entire campaign is design in such manner that it gets to sale its products to all
different customer base associated with the respective target market. This is also
indicated as the feature associated with the marketing and promotional activity conducted
by the company. The one limitation associated with the marketing activity is that it is not
diversified as compare to other companies such as Amazon and other such organisations.
The Apple Company also try to focus over multiple market area that make the campaign
more diversified of the Apple Company.
 Simplification: Simplification is an important requirement associated with the marketing
activity conducted by companies. The language used in the promotional campaign must
be simple so that customers can easily get connected with the promotional activities
entertain by the organisation. This is a fundamental requirement of the company that it
focuses over the simple and attractive language. The advantage of this is that organisation
get to connect easily with the potential customers in the market (Salem and Salem, 2021).
The limitation of the campaign of the Google Merchandise Store is that many times due
to the standard of the company the campaign become very sophisticated as compare to
other application like Amazon and Apple. This restricts the company in establishing a
more attractive image of its brand in front of the target customers. IN the current time

customers always prefer to have attractive tagine that can easily get memorized. The
tagine used by the company are also complicated that could not favour the company to
expand its growth with support of the marketing and promotional activities conducted by
company.
 Collaboration: It can be stated that there is more clarity about the roles and
responsibility that need to be performed by each and every team member in the google
merchandise stores as compared to Amazon. As there are many conflict or difference
between people that are working in Amazon that create hindrance in effective
achievement of goals. Similarly, in google merchandise there are some issue between the
team but the manager tries to overcome the same so that better content can be post to
attract and retain customers (Wan and Palaniappan, 2020). The Google merchandise has
lay emphasis on having talented and skilled employees that can easily execute more
creative content. On the other side Apple Company utilise the strategies also effectively
by approaching to all football players and other sports professional.
 Gaps: Both Google merchandise and amazon has effectively adapted to the new
technology in order to offer services to customers at multiple touch points The gap
between the design process is that the advertisement of Amazon can only be reach by
customers of Amazon company only while google merchandise store have feature that it
can be easily reach to range of customers across relevant google properties. Likewise,
recently, the company have make change related to its image search engine without
posting official statement that has resulted in getting rid of “safe search”. So, the
limitation or gap is the users has to make use of more specific search terms in order to
find whatever they want. On the other hand, Apple Company has also tried to fill the gap
by introducing new features like product search, filter and such like features.
