Discussion Response:

A brand I purchase repeatedly is Volvo cars. I do not buy the product often, because their vehicles last a long time. I have purchased two (pre-owned) Volvos within the last 15 years. I first became aware of Volvo after a recommendation from a seasoned nurse. She stated that she drove a Volvo because she had never had a car accident patient with serious injuries that was driving a Volvo. The safety of their cars is the #1 reason I am loyal to Volvo. When I was researching my most recent Volvo car purchase, Volvo was often appearing on my Instagram advertisements. I have also seen Volvo advertisements on Hulu. Volvo’s marketing strategy has been dubbed Volvo Way to Market and focuses on digital leadership, marketing tools, service and dealership. Volvo satisfies my needs for a safe, luxurious vehicle that is built to last. My previous Volvo had over 250k miles on it, and was still running well. I have recommended Volvo to almost all my family and friends who are making a car purchase.
