graphical images.
Product Strategy
(continued)
Develop brand
name recognition
to generate:

production: $8 ($10$2)
 Units needed to
cover development
costs: 62,500 units

distributing consumer titles:
 Wholesalers – buy from publishers
and resell to others.
 Retailers – sell to the public.
 Superstores and specialty retailers.

multimedia consumer market, other
distribution alternatives may be used:
 Direct mail – mail order sales.
 Bundling – a title sold with another
product.
 Catalog sales – monthly catalogs.
 Rentals – rental of games and
entertainment.
 Partnerships – joint ventures.
Marketing
Non-consumer Titles
Reference works, corporate training titles
and educational titles.
 Less complex to market.
 Do not require shelf space.
 Target audience is smaller, more
defined, and easier to reach.
Distributing Online
 The Internet is a
major delivery
medium for
multimedia.
 Advantages:
 Vast audience.
 Ability to
constantly
refresh content.
Kiosk-based Multimedia
Two types of kiosks:
 Transactional – provide for
user input.
 Informational – allows the
user to access information.
