BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne founded Apple Computer Company in 1976. Their first product, the Apple I, was a computer kit that required assembly. The Apple II, followed by the IIe, fully assembled computers with color graphics and sound, were released in 1977. They became huge successes, particularly in education and small businesses. Apple introduced the Macintosh, a personal computer with a user-friendly graphical user interface (GUI). Its iconic "1984" Super Bowl commercial positioned it as a revolutionary product. During the late 1980s and early '90s, Apple faced challenges, including declining market share and internal turmoil. PROMOTIONS AND PROMOTIONAL ITEMS:Apple's marketing campaigns in the mid-1980s were characterized by their creativity and effectiveness. Some notable promotional products and marketing strategies included the famous "1984" Super Bowl commercial.This iconic commercial, directed by Ridley Scott, introduced the Macintosh to a mass audience and is considered one of the greatest commercials of all time.Other notable promotional items other than posters include the famous cube note blocks, belt buckles, kites, paperweights and t-shirts.Apple's innovative products and effective marketing strategies helped to solidify its position as a leader in the personal computer industry during the mid-1980s. The logo book jacket/covers fit right into the company's marketing mix of that period.
