Apple's Smart Ecosystem
Stop thinking of products in isolation! This way of thinking is limiting and creates a higher risk of random product apathy from your client base.
Consider how Apple’s ecosystem keeps customers returning and competition at bay.
Apple didn't just create products; they built an integrated ecosystem. Each device works seamlessly with others, creating a loyal customer base and a formidable market position.
Here's how Apple innovated:
A smart ecosystem can be developed either through new or improved product delivery, through enhanced service delivery or with improved processes.
Every business has the potential to enhance their business ecosystem so that the client can have an amazing experience and deepen their loyalty.
Increased loyalty and high client satisfaction delivers higher revenues and profit outcomes. Invest one hour of your time to identify ways that you can improve and increase the connectivity of your platform, products, processes and customer experiences to enable higher profitability.
