Today when the digital consumption is growing everyday it is important for retailers to provide consumers with the right experience and as fast as possible before it becomes outdated. Today marketers are faced with difficult choice of choosing a channel in which to market their product and by not choosing one they may lose on an untapped market. With growing use of smart phones, tablets and laptops people first see the product online then in stores and then again online to compare prices and get the best deals so it is important for retailers to make their product available in as many channels as possible.

It can be said that Amazon were the one who introduced e-books because of Jeff Bezos innovation and urge to simplify the everyday lives of individuals. Despite the success the Kindle Fire experienced as it entered this market, amazon was moving further away from what they had originally specialized in, and closer to a market which was already established long before they decided to enter. A detailed analysis of Amazons internal and external environment is needed in order to be able to fully understand the condition of the issue and to be able to formulate a successful recommendation that will align with the corporations goals.

...Marketing Mix MKT/421 Marketing May 1, 2012, 2012 Instructor: Robert McGeary “A typical marketing mix includes some product, offered at a price, with some promotion to tell potential customers about the product, and a way to reach the customer’s place”. First we are going to discuss the product which is developing the right “product” for the target market. Since there are many variables Perrault, Cannon, and McCarthy (2011) suggest limiting them to the four P’s. The four P’s are the most basic variables Product, Place, Promotion and Price. (Perreault, Cannon, & McCarthy, 2011) When choosing a product certain things need to be considered before introducing to the public. Some things that may attract consumers about a product are the quality, safety, style, brand name, packaging, functionality, warranty, repairs/support and accessories. The product chosen is the BlackBerry PlayBook. On April 19, 2011 the BlackBerry PlayBook was released in the United States and Canada. The PlayBook was then released in the Netherlands, United Arab Emirate and the UK in June, 2011. The PlayBook device runs developed applications by using Adobe AIR. The BlackBerry is similar to the Apple IPad and targets all technology savvy consumers who simply can’t get enough. Its dimensions are 0.9 lbs/425 g in weight, 7.6”/194mm in width, 5.1’/130mm in height and 0.4’/10mm in depth.

What device will be more advantageous for schoolwork, and also support the social networking and game playing that kids will inevitably want to do? Technology Use in Schools Here are some examples of how kids are using technology in schools. * Online and visual learning: Many teachers have incorporated videos of lessons into their plan, either of themselves teaching the lesson, or from an outside source.

...With many new forms of technology appearing in the world, it has become a complex task of choosing what new gadget is right for the owner. In today’s economy the cheaper option is not always the better option, but rather a modernly priced product that will do its job and do it for a while. This criteria best applies itself to when buying a computer. There are two main types of computers: a Macintosh (Mac) or a PC. Both are great for different reasons, but the main ways that Mac differs from a PC is that Mac’s are much more expensive, they tend to reflect malware and viruses and that a Mac offers less of a choice than PC. If most people were given the option to buy a Mac or buy a PC, mostly everyone would purchase the Mac. The Macintosh system is great, but it is rather expensive. Macs is noticeably much more expensive than PCs. The lightweight MacBook Air laptop is Apple's cheapest and most basic MacBook, starting at about nine hundred and fifty. The average Windows laptop costs around five hundred dollars, but some Windows ten laptops can be purchased for around one hundred and seventy-five dollars, now keep in mind the basic windows ten laptop is a PC and is great for...

...and the biggest of them all, what new wireless Smartphone or tablet product is becoming available. Amazon has announced a new tablet product within the last two weeks, the Kindle Fire, which has made the wireless gadget community take notice. As with most companies that want to maximize their yearly profits, this product is being introduced at the beginning of the holiday buying season. Their positioning of their product, the amount they have stocked, and the eventual purchasing that is seen will let them know if their product will be successful within the economic laws and other determinants of supply and demand. It was speculated last week by industry that the Kindle Fire’s price of $200 will be an amount that consumers will not baulk at like the basic iPad’s $500 price tag, and this week industry may have been proven correct. It is being speculated from inside data that Amazon is getting orders for the Kindle Fire at around 2,000 units per hour, or about 50,000 units per day. With this amount of market demand, the Kindle Fire will possibly outsell in quantity both what the iPod and iPad did on their initial releases. With as much demand as there currently is, and the price of the Kindle Fire being held constant, the other determinants of demand seem to be playing a large role in what is being seen with the largest being the prices of competing substitutes. The iPad, iPod touch, and the Android tablet, may seem a bit too steep in price for certain consumers and...
