1316152 2012-12-03 04:55:00 Samsung is blowing all the companies away in advertising and marketing.

Have a look at the graph here. (www.businessinsider.com)

A friend of mine who is a 100% Apple devotee sent me this marketing graph with the comment:
This can only mean they have to advertise like crazy to retain customers.

Response anyone? :D

Back to the OP, Samsung is a huge company, what's that marketing for? I mean other than phones they sell fridges, laptops washing machines etc . . . thats a big budget and it makes sense given their market range .

As for your friend, if they advertise like crazy to retain customers then it must be working, if it wasn't then they'd be all going elsewhere .

They don't appear to me to advertise as much as MS or Apple considering the range of products they sell.

True, Samsung seem to be more hardware based and generate business by a more traditional approach even with their mobiles with market segments (and advertising) from cheap to premium products worldwide. Apple is more a platform with it's hardware control, digital services, retail stores/network, in the US. Samsung however relies on Android and has to wait for Google - another platform business to develop it. Though it's rumuored that Samsung may become more platform based itself by adopting the Tizen open source smartphone software.

in the 1950's their biggest export was human hair wigs.

I bought an entry level Samsung mobile phone and showed it to a Korean girl.
She bowed and thanked me for buying Samsung!

1316160 2012-12-03 18:14:00 For anyone worried that Samsung products have "rubbish capacitors" in all products, here is the relevant info from Agent_24's link:

Samsung Electronics America, Inc. is offering a settlement for certain Samsung-branded televisions manufactured prior to December 31, 2008


They are marketing like crazy because of using rubbish quality capacitors and making products that fail like crazy
