“The most dramatic digital technology is the Internet. The number of
Internet users worldwide now stands at more than 1.4 billion and will reach an
estimated 3.4 billion by 2015.” (Pg.
27, Marketing: an Introduction, Armstrong & Kolter). This is a great added
dimension to the word promotion and getting the name of your product out there.
First it allows a company to put something out there, like a new product or
promotion, and get nearly instantaneous feedback about what the general public
thinks about it. One of the great advances of the internet for interactions of
this nature is social media; these include avenues such as Facebook and Twitter
as places where the name of a product could gain some recognition in name and
possibly influence buyer behavior. For this vodka it could be great as it could
be promoted on social media in terms of featured in this club or the preferred
drink of a group of people or somebody.
Once
the name of the product is known and in the minds of those who will purchase it
then all they have to do is go out and get it. “Consumer
buyer behavior refers to the buying behavior of final consumers—individuals and
households that buy goods and services for personal consumption.” (Pg.
136, Marketing: an Introduction, Armstrong & Kolter). Though this drink is great in a club
environment, straight or as a mixer, it is also a great drink for the home as
well. It is not necessarily a drink exclusive to the party club and bar scene,
it could be enjoyed at home as it would not be a drink to knock one off their
feet. Once this drink is in the houses of people, then another way of promotion
opens up where it is spread by word of mouth and recommendation. There are
other avenues to be explored as well such as television, promoting it inside of
the clubs, and on the radio as well.
