Microsoft named "Microsoft" (One Microsoft) marketing plan raises United States resonates with consumers. Telaxi·situokesi, an analyst in charge of this investigation (Tracy Stokes) said, "the findings surprise us.

微软无处不在靠产品，苹果靠用户情绪

微软在由市场研究公司Forrester进行的一次品牌调查中位居榜首。微软品牌知名度超过苹果的原因是，微软产品和服务已深入到用户生活的方方面面，以及对不同年龄消费者的吸引力。

微软名为“一个微软”(One Microsoft)的营销计划引起了美国消费者的共鸣。负责这次调查的分析师特拉西·斯托克斯(Tracy Stokes)说，“我们了对调查结果感到意外。时间无疑是一个需要考虑的因素，我认为，如果调查在一年或18个月之前进行，调查结果会有很大不同。”

此次调查对包括微软、苹果、索尼、三星、惠普和戴尔在内的10家消费科技公司的品牌知名度进行了调查。前四位依次是微软、苹果、索尼和三星。

斯托克斯说，微软在品牌调查中排在第一位的主要原因，是它在“Essentials”项目方面无与伦比的得分，以及受到所有年龄段消费者的信赖，“微软产品和服务无处不在，在消费者心目中，Windows和Office是不可替代的。微软的‘无处不在’靠的是产品，而苹果依靠的则是用户的情绪”。

在调查的4个项目中的3个项目上，苹果和三星的得分与微软同样高，唯有在Essentials项目方面落后于微软。斯托克斯在报告中写道，“尽管苹果的产品和服务也能满足用户需求，并符合最高的质量标准，消费者仍然认为苹果的产品和服务不像微软那样不可替代。苹果产品曾在感情上被认为是不可替代的，但随着在感情方面失去吸引力，苹果无法单独依靠超高的产品质量战胜其他竞争对手。”

微软还在人口统计学大战中胜出，在所有年龄段消费者中的排名都很高。苹果和三星等公司在年青用户中的得分最高，尤其是在25-33岁的消费者中。苹果在年青消费者中是一个有力的竞争者。

在品牌调查中对微软有利的一个因素是“一个微软”品牌营销计划。斯托克斯说，“目前要判断‘一个微软’是否成功还为时过早，但微软在向着正确的方向前进。之前，微软在品牌方面缺乏连贯的体验。微软在调查中的表现与营销方式的转型密切相关。”

斯托克斯指出，转向单一品牌有助于提升微软在调查中的得分，如果调查在“一个微软”品牌营销活动前进行，微软的得分不会这么高。斯托克斯周三说，“微软在这方面显然学习了领头羊苹果的经验。”

在谈到苹果时，斯托克斯称苹果屈居第二的部分原因是它在过去18个月遇到的问题，其中包括股价下跌以及被指责创新放慢，“苹果品牌已经失去了部分吸引力”。
