implement some trial-use campaigns so as to strengthen customers’ awareness of new products.
Awareness
Strengthening
•Customers will choose brands in accord with age, positioning of brand would be a constraint of
customer base development. To widen age strata of target customer, it should develop products
aimed at customers from every age group, strengthen effect of promotion coordinated with
appropriated channels
Audience
Segmentation
•Due to strong interests of customers using free trial, after-use sharing and WOM will directly
influence purchasing willing of potential customers as an evaluation and suggestion of new products.
Cooperating with more online platforms (social media, blog, BBS) or traditional media(magazine
about female, wedding, girls) implementing trial-use campaign or doing soft sale can be the trend of
promotion.
Free Product

combat the counterfeit, and maintain brand reputation.
