  • Samsung Commercials Puts Them Above Apple

    Lets face it, over the last decade Apple has dominated the phone market with their iPhone. No matter how soon Apple comes out with a new phone there are lines around street corners with customers who want the new version. More recently, Samsung has started rising in the phone game and they are not stopping. The Galaxy and Note are becoming known for their new cool features such as the bump share feature, wi-fi hotspots, and the best picture phone camera quality out there.

    Now although Samsung has these really cool top of the line phones, how were they able to all of a sudden get to the top in the mobile phone marketshare? Their commercials! While Apple commercials are simple and get across to the viewer what the phone does, Samsung has some funny commercials and commercials that show the cool features their phones have. For example, there is the “work trip” commercial that is subtly sexual but shows off the bump share feature. During the Super Bowl Samsung used tons of money to buy minutes of commercial space for just one commercial featuring celebrities Seth Rogan Paul Rudd, and Lebron James. Not only did the commercial show off the cool new features of the phone, but also showed that major celebrities back the phone as well. Samsung’s marketing strategy has brought them to the top in the mobile phone marketshare and it does not seem like it is going to stop anytime soon.


  • Is the iPhone Finally Coming to T-Mobile?

    Analysts of technology trends have been tracking the carrier pick-ups of the iPhone for several years now. After AT&T’s exclusivity with the iPhone ended, speculation came about as to which carrier would be the first to offer the iPhone. Most analysts suspected T-Mobile, but instead, Verizon picked the phone up in 2011. Later that year, both T-Mobile and Sprint were speculated to offer the iPhone, but only Sprint got the contract. One analyst notes that T-Mobile USA may finally get the iPhone next week due to heightened speculation that the parent company to T-Mobile, Deutsche Telekom, will announce its new carrier plans at an event next week. T-Mobile has been left out of an iPhone contract because its network doesn’t support the iPhone. Over the past several months; however, T-Mobile has upgraded its networks in 15 cities in order to be capable to support the iPhone, but many more areas still need to be upgraded. Is this speculation just a rumor that has continued to pop up over the past two years, or will T-Mobile finally become the next iPhone carrier? I guess that we will just have to wait until next week!

  • Apple Living Off The Hype

    Recently there have been less and less Apple commercials on TV. Sure you see the occasional iPad commercial or iPhone commercial, but that only really happens when a new version of the product comes out. The way Apple mainly markets to the customer is by letting their products speak for itself. Apple lives off word of mouth and people raving about their product. Whenever a new product comes out there are always news articles, blogs, Facebook and twitter status’ all about the product. Apple has a great reputation for having top of the line products whether it comes to laptops, desktops, mp3 players, phones, etc. that when a new generation of these products are coming out everyone wants one and everyone will talk about it. This unconventional style of marketing has worked quite well for Apple as they are able to use the money they could spend on advertising on product development, packaging, and employees.

    One other unconventional route that Apple takes is they almost never put any of their products on sale. I will guarantee that you don’t see any deals on any sort of Apple products during black friday or cyber monday that are coming up. The reason Apple is able to do this is because they know how great their products are and that people would buy them even with a higher mark-up then other competing products. Apple has become one of the best companies world-wide and with all the hype around their products they might stay there for a very long time.
