Therefore, they look into every possible option to determine if the product meets brand loyalty and has the appeal to be different from their competitors items. You are
From the courier, it is clear that the products with the highest customer awareness have the higher market share. With that in mind, we will adjust the promotion budget for the low end products to increase our customer awareness which in turn will increase our sales if we continue to compete based on low prices. Because we are featuring our low end product, we think that this product will remain in the cash cow position, never becoming a star through an increase in market growth rate.
