Learn Marketing from 2 Trillion worth company - Apple Marketing Strategy
1.
2. Muhammed Gazzaly | 15th September 2021
Curious how a company with a $2+ trillion market-cap writes
persuasive copy?
3.
4. • Each Apple headline focuses on one idea.
• It draws all attention and awareness to that benefit.
• By keeping the focus on one idea, Apple is able to communicate its message
effectively.
5.
6.
7. • 76% of website goers are scanners.
• Apple follows three rules when writing for this
• Big headlines to showcase one idea
• Use sub-headlines to entice scanners to read
• Use the inverted pyramid for paragraphs (biggest benefit to smallest)
8.
9. • The majority of visitors will be scanners.
• But write for the readers too.
• Apple makes reading their copy effortless.
• They use short paragraphs.
• Short sentences.
• And simple words.
10.
11. • Many times you’ll notice Apple starting sentences with “and” or “but.” Sure, it’s
not traditional.
• But, it’s easier to read.
• Easier to understand.
• And makes digging through sales copy a breeze.
• Their goal is to get customers to keep reading.
12.
13.
14. • Apple presents its features as solutions to your problem.
• For example, iPhones' new night mode is a feature.
• They present it as a solution to a problem.
• Terrible shots at night?
• Now you can shoot “portraits that come out at night.”
15.
16.
17. • Apple shows out too.
• Most of their copy is simple and easy to understand.
• But when they get into the nitty-gritty, they’re trying to impress you.
• Breaking down the technical details solidifies them as an expert.
• It builds confidence in their products.
• And is convincing.
• Even if you don’t know wtf an “A15 Bionic Chip” is.
18.
19.
20. • Analogies help connects something complicated with something known.
• When you’re presented with something complicated to explain — present the
reader with an analogy to make it easy to understand.
• Here’s how Apple did it:
21.
22.
23. • Anticipate consumer's objections.
• And one by one, address them.
• This will reassure buyers that they’re making the right decision.
• iPhone users complain about breaking their screen.
• Apple presents its new screen with “tougher than any smartphone glass.
24.
25. • Anytime Apple releases a new product, they compare it to the previous one.
• Why?
• Apple users tend to want the next best thing.
• By constantly comparing the features and upgrades, they make a case for the
new product being better.
• This makes an easy upsell.
26.
27. • Power words like “you, your, imagine, new” are used frequently throughout their
sales copy.
• Power words help the consumers picture themselves with the product.
• Apple used the words “you” and “your” 110 times in their copy for the iPhone 5.
28.
29. • Apple’s copy work is an art.
• In many ways Apple’s copy is poetic.
• They use rhymes to make their copy smooth.
• Plus, it makes copy very easy to remember.
