A look at how similar products are marketed in different locations around the globe.
This paper takes the example of a computer and looks at how different channels advertise it in order to sell to the local community. The paper looks at the various forms of advertising used today, including print, television, Internet, and other forms. The writer explains that Internet advertising is more global than the other forms, as anyone around the globe can access the information.
“In seeing that a firm can use different media for targeting its customers, it seems appropriate that a company uses television for mass marketing of its products, i.e. computers, while print media is selective and targets its products toward people who are educated and read the newspaper. In case of the Internet, the main segments of the computers will be young users customers and hobbyists, who like to navigate different sites and want to find out more about the products. However, an Internet site can also focus its advertisements for offering more information about products so that even a common person who owns an Internet service can navigate different Internet sites of the computers to make its buying choices.”
