•Product
•Price
•Place
•Promotion
15. Product
“Microsoft is present in a huge plethora of products and it has a
product for practically most applications including design, development
and management. Microsoft is so strong in this front that till date, no
one has been able to challenge the giant in terms of software expertise.
Even Apple sells its OS with support of its hardware, and not just on the
basis of Software.”
17. Price
“Where operating systems are considered, Microsoft has a
premium pricing because of its vastly popular and increasingly
useful Operating system. Products like Microsoft office too are
premium priced. However, all the other products, which have
alternatives in the market, are priced competitively.”
18. Place
“Microsoft has various lines of distribution depending on the
type of products. For its software packages and OS, Microsoft
operates through a distributor network – with the distributor
network distributing the product to all retailers. Similarly,
Microsoft also targets OEM’s like laptop and desktop
manufacturers”
19. Promotion
• “There are certain brands and names, which are just beyond the
logics and points of promotion and are simply too popular for
promotion. For other online products, Microsoft vastly uses digital
marketing and advertising. In general, the promotions of Microsoft
have always pushed for reliability and usability of the Microsoft
products – Which are its key attributes.”
