Four major market issues to be addressed by digital marketing

Enterprises have a large backlog of conventional marketing inventory. Usually manufacturers according to their own subjective imagination, first manufacture thousands of pieces of the same product, and then wholesale to shopping malls. As a result, there are many products that do not meet the needs of consumers. These products have formed a large backlog, some of which have been in stock for several months, and some have even been in stock for several years. After a long-term inventory, commercial enterprises cut prices again. In shopping malls, slogans such as "big price cuts" and "big auctions" are often seen. The blind production of enterprises is caused by the inability of enterprises to make timely statistics and responses to market sales, which leads to increased product inventory, longer capital turnover time, and untimely recovery of payment. This not only seriously affects the economic benefits of the enterprise, but also affects the survival and development of the enterprise, reducing the enterprise's return on investment and profitability. It also affects the corporate image and reduces the value of the corporate brand .

On the other hand between the marketer R & D center not only hurt the channels and price system manufacturers, are still loyal customers of the head form a "Xintai Hei" impression. There is a product and a market, and there is a phenomenon of channeling. Therefore, the topic of channeling and anti-channeling is talked about deeply and lastingly. Some people even compare the company to the channel between the Tao and the magic. A contest. The root of all this is caused by the asymmetry of the marketing information of the product by the enterprise, and the enterprise cannot understand the marketing information of the product in time.

Some statistics show that counterfeiting is increasing sharply in China. Not only are the numbers growing, but the ways of counterfeiting are constantly changing. Some counterfeiters have intensified their activities in manufacturing counterfeit imported products in recent years, impersonating the manufactured counterfeit products as brand owners or their licensees, and manufacturing and importing products into China in another market. What's more, some counterfeiters also export counterfeit imported products to other countries and regions. The number of counterfeit products is increasing day by day, and because of the hidden in the dark and people's poor ability to identify fakes, due to insufficient legal support, and the effect of anti-counterfeiting by enterprises or individuals is not good, the two major difficulties of corporate anti-counterfeiting as summarized by experts are representative: First, the laws and regulations are incomplete, and the penalties for those who fake and sell fake goods are too light; the second is that serious local protectionism has led to a large number of specialized areas for making and selling fake goods. However, various popular anti-counterfeiting technologies currently on the market often stay at the product marking stage due to the wrong anti-counterfeiting concept. Due to the low accuracy verification rate of consumers, the anti-counterfeiting effect is minimal, and the actual anti-counterfeiting effect is very poor. The pale power of anti-counterfeiting and anti-counterfeiting has caused the proliferation of counterfeit and inferior products, which has also caused consumers to lose confidence in some brands, which has brought a devastating blow to these brands.

The usual merchandising based on invoices sweepstakes or lottery with scratch-off markers with the goods, but also directly to manufacturers or cash prizes on commodity boxes inside, although this method is simple and easy to implement, but only one product Promotional role, and this kind of promotion is increasingly lacking in freshness to consumers. Faced with an increasingly fiercely competitive market, in order to promote product sales, various merchants have made every effort to various discounts, promotions and gifts. However, looking at these behaviors of most merchants, they are only promoting for promotion, and do not organically combine other elements of marketing through promotional behaviors, resulting in a cool situation in the market after the promotion. On the one hand, promotions have reduced corporate profits , and on the other hand, more consumers have expressed concern about the quality of these "conflict products". Did they come down together?

The rapid development of the economy has brought about the rapid development of media and the acceleration of people's life. The fast pace of life and the prosperity of entertainment programs have led to a significant reduction in the efficiency of consumer acceptance of advertisements. Each Chinese person receives 500 advertisements per day on average. Harassment, while in the United States this number is 5,000. On the one hand, companies spend a lot of manpower and material resources on advertising, but on the other hand, the effectiveness of advertising is greatly reduced. Some people have used SMS to send 2 million messages to each other, and only 50 people responded. This is the main reason for this situation. It is because the advertisement is not targeted, that is,
