Aldus Corporation, named after the 15th-century Venetian printer Aldus Manutius, was the inventor of the groundbreaking PageMaker software, a program that is generally credited with creating the desktop publishing (DTP) field. The company was founded by Jeremy Jaech, Mark Sundstrom, Mike Templeman, Dave Walter, and chairman Paul Brainerd.[1] Aldus Corporation was based in Seattle, Washington.
PageMaker was released in July 1985, and relied on Adobe's PostScript page description language. For output, it used the Apple LaserWriter, a PostScript laser printer. PageMaker for the PC was released in 1986, but by then the Mac was already the de facto DTP platform, with Adobe Illustrator (released in 1987) and Adobe Photoshop (released in 1990) completing the suite of graphic design software.
Aldus went on to offer its Illustrator-like program, FreeHand, licensed from Altsys (who also developed Fontographer). FreeHand and Illustrator competed with each other for years, through multiple releases. This rivalry continued even after the Aldus acquisition, because FreeHand was not included, but Adobe eventually acquired Freehand in 2005 with its acquisition of then-owner Macromedia. It is no longer supported nor updated.
In early 1990, Aldus bought Silicon Beach Software, acquiring a number of consumer titles for the Macintosh, including SuperPaint, Digital Darkroom, SuperCard, Super3D, and Personal Press (later renamed Adobe Home Publisher). Silicon Beach was located in San Diego, California, and became the Aldus Consumer Division.
In 1993, Aldus bought After Hours Software and incorporated its products, TouchBase Pro and DateBook Pro, into the Aldus Consumer Division.
During the 1990s QuarkXPress steadily won ground from PageMaker, and it seemed increasingly odd that Adobe — who had created PostScript, so vital to the working of DTP — still did not offer its own page layout application. This was resolved in September 1994 when Aldus merged with Adobe. Today, Adobe's competition to QuarkXPress is Adobe InDesign. PageMaker remains available but is no longer marketed; existing PageMaker customers are now urged to switch to InDesign.
The marketing mixed up the common and the most famous when it comes to the marketing terms due to its simplicity which are primarily tactical or basic components on the marketing plan. Thus, these components are commonly the so called four P’s or the price, the place, the promotions and products (Marketing Teacher, 2000). The diagram can be seen below:

Based on the diagram above, the offered products must be altered on the variations of these elements and having the high profile brand needs to increase the promotions yet to desensitize the price weight. There are many ways in pricing of the product yet it is irrational and needs to compete on the prices of the competitors. The diagram shows the pricing technique for the certain product.
pricing
The company has the options of using the high prices if there is uniqueness in its products or services in order to have the competitive advantage otherwise, otherwise, it is also depends on the competitiveness of the product regarding the prices.
The place is considered to be the channel contributions for the company in the setting the institutions that can perform the entire activities which utilized the movement of the product which is entitle for the consumptions or production. This is also the mechanism whereas the goods and services are all moved from the manufacturer and to the consumer or user.
The other p is the promotion that covers the tools in marketing communication. The table below shows the diagram of promotional mix which is the form of the coherent campaign. This promotional mix includes the personal selling, the public relations, sales promotions, direct mail, advertising, trade fares and exhibitions, advertising and sponsorship (Ibid).

In order to understand further, let us look at the mixed up marketing of Bossini which products are basically the covered the family fit brand and wide ranges of products for every family member. The company also refurbishes its brand program that can open the flagship in the stores of Hong Kong. Its product line constitutes the three additional products as for the baby, maternity, and youth and continues to diversify its product in order to be competitive. The activities of the Bossini are primarily the wholesaling, the retailing, and the distribution of garments as well as the promotion and advertising and engage in the property holding, to the letting, and investment holding for the license of trademarks and garments. The brand used the Madagascar characters as reflections of enthusiasm and personality for the buyer that can be use for the promotional stores for visibility of the apparel range. Regarding its prices, the Bossini is considered to be the cheapest retail stores in providing the products of casual wear.
