The disaster resulted in 167 deaths while 62 people were able to survive by jumping from the platform.

The Zapper's unique value proposition of mitigating and eliminating noise opens up many potential market segments and service areas. What the advertising strategy must do is not only communicate the features and benefits of the product, it must also show how effective it is in making people's lives more enjoyable. Noise is one of the most irritating types of pollution there is, often stopping people from being able to think clearly and get their work done or make effective decisions. The greatest value of the Zapper is in neutralizing these forms of noise pollution to allow people to have a more enjoyable, pleasurable experience at work or at home. The cornerstone of all effective marketing I based on creating expectations and exceeding them (Genestre, Herbig, 1996). The Zapper must create and exceed the expectation of neutralizing harmful and irritating noise and deliver a consistently excellent customer experience (Gurau, 2008). Only by concentrating on precise, high quality production processes will the Zapper consistently meet and exceed these expectations on a consistent basis. Quality and trust of consistent performance will be the anchor points of the marketing strategy, ensuring that customers' faith and expectations of the product will be met and exceeded. Aligning Zapper's Advertising Strategy And Alignment To Marketing Objectives The core of the Zapper marketing strategy must be solidly set on the experiences of the customer if it is to succeed. In defining those experiences, personas, or representations of representative customers in each of the markets, will be used. These personas will explain in detail why and how noise reduction is so critically important to these people and their professions or avocations. For the hospital staff the need to mitigate noise so that greater attention and concentration can be applied to patient care is essential for professional excellence to be achieved. Personas of nurses, physicians and hospital staff will be used to more fully understand their needs. The same level of analysis and research needs to be done on each target market, as the personas' needs and requirements will drive the marketing objectives. As has been stated earlier, additional markets include libraries, in addition to homes with children and teenagers who can use the Zapper to silence a home and make it possible to enjoy music, entertainment and games more. The Zapper can be highly effective in making study times more effective and focused as well. These are all examples of creating a highly unique, differentiated customer experience.
