What do you do when you want to market your product as a mean machine. Advertise it with the bad boys image . The point is will it disrupt the market and sell your product like hotcakes. Depends on whom you choose and the probabilities seem high when you rope in a famous celebrity. Fiat Motors seems to do the same..

Coming back , the product lifecycle has the
following phases, beginning from the development phase, introduction phase,
growth phase where the demand is linear/exponential, the maturity when the demand is linear, peaks and then flattens for a while before the decline phase begins
where the demand falls.
What i meant by disruptive
advertising is something similar to what is done by the movie production houses
today, i.e. release a new movie simultaneously all across different multiplexes
and theaters in a country or world- wide
and have a high sales peak with a shorter life cycle
sufficient enough to cover cost of production , advertising campaigns and
release costs and also still make good profits for all its stakeholders compared to
releasing it region by region in a fewer theatres for longer periods ( this is
dangerous and loss making since you are not sure of the decline phase and hence
plan for it).
What i meant by disruptive advertising is trying to generate
high interest in the product for sales
to peak early in the product life cycle, since this interest may be short
lived and companies would then depend on their product features and other
marketing strategies to further prolong the product life cycle . The idea is to
make your profits early before you get hit by your competitors and stay ahead
by continuous innovation.
