I will evaluate in this project about the marketing strategies of Amazon Company and how these strategies effect on the productivity and output level of the company marketing.
Marketing plan
Marketing plan is developed for the products of the Amazon online retailing business. According to the company and its operations in the market an effective plan is developed to achieve desired outcomes in the target operating market. Marketing plan is based on the objectives of the marketing that are to grab the attention of the customers and enlarge market shares in the market.
Situation
First of all whole situation of the target market and company need to be analyzed to get clear estimation about the requirements and desires of the market and company. Without these we cannot develop an effective marketing plan. What elements and dimensions are studied to get idea about the situation is discussed in detail:
Market position
At the first we have to analyze the current position of the market in which company is currently operating or will operate in near future (if company is willing to enlarge business through geographical expansion). Commercial will depend upon the position of the market and its operational capability. According to the analysis of the market Amazon is operating well in the market. The return on investment is more than expectations.
Amazon is one of the largest retailers in the e-commerce world. They provide products of daily use as house hold appliances, kitchen accessories, mobiles, televisions, books, gifts, make up and electronic devices. The market of the Amazon Company is very vast and full of variety. In accordance with the competition in the market, Amazon is leading most of its competitors. Therefore we can conclude that marketing position is strong for the company.
In the present time Amazon is already using different sources of marketing. They are using social media, website, and other platforms to grab the attention of the customer and sell out their products at large scale. The biggest source of marketing for the company and the strongest platform for the company to interact with the customers is its website.
Current branding
The Amazon Company is all analyzed to get information about the current branding of the company. According to the analysis, the biggest brand of the company is for the sales of books and gifts. Amazon company it-self is the largest brand that generates revenue in more than other retailing online stores and e-commerce websites.
There are some most common and famous brands owned by the Amazon company that are Amazon.com, Amazon prime pantry, whole foods market, Amazon Fresh, Amazon prime, and Amazon GO. Amazon is working efficiently with all these brands. Each brand covers a different field and type of products or services and delivers services in the efficient manner that resulted in the increase in capital on the daily basis.
For the commercial, we will cover almost all brands. But the first focus of the advertisement or commercial made by the Amazon Company will be on the Amazon. Company has it is the largest and most famous world known brand of the Amazon company. Therefore increase its sales can produce more revenue as compared to other brands of the company. The customer with this brand is loyal and consistently using products from this brand because they trust the quality of the Amazon.com products.
Current targeting and positioning
The current target market for the company is based on the demographic and geographic segmentation. The major areas targeted by the Amazon company is China, Japan, Spain, and Brazil. While market of the United Kingdom and the United States is also fruitful for the Amazon Company they are also working there successfully.
Target market on the basis of geographic segmentation is presented above. The geographic segmentation described that company is operating efficiently in the urban areas as compared to the rural areas became the difference in the life style and educational backgrounds that is the basis of demographic segmentation.
While making the commercial for the company we have to take into consideration the segmentation of the company. The target market for the commercial is same to the target market of the company. according to this commercial will address to the people who are the citizens of the Spain, Japan, united states, united kingdom, and China.
At the time of commercial making or marketing plan for the commercial, we will consider the demographic attributes of the target market also. As discussed above we will focus on the age, income, and education of the target market. According to the analysis of the target market, most of the customers of the Amazon are educated and familiar with the new technology and its use.
Young people are more energetic and encouraging for the company than old ones. Similar case with the female and males. Income of the people should also be considered for commercial as we cannot present a luxury product that only a few can purchase to the audience that difficulty afford a normal household product. Young people spent most of their time on surfing the internet and using social media platforms, therefore, our commercial will be presented more on social media than other platforms or sources of advertisement.
Campaign description
After the analysis of the current situation of the market, we can easily make the marketing campaign. The campaign description is based on the elements and dimensions that are mentioned below in details:
General description

The products of the market are highly competitive therefore commercial should be presented in such a way that create differentiation in the target market and influence the minds of the customers for the longer period of time.
For instance, if we are going to market the super bowl we will target the market of the Amazon through highlighting the features of the super bowl. In recent times Amazon is running a commercial of a bath tub that got famous all over its target market. The commercial is about the luxury bath tub that has modern features that make the bath tub unique and best suited for your bathrooms.
