Increaseing The Brand Popularity by Improving Marketing Strategies Introduction: In an orderly and competitive society, the development process of an enterprise is, in a sense, the process of brand building. Brand culture construction has two levels. One is to use culture to build a brand, the other is to build a brand's own cultural characteristics and connotation. There is a one-way interaction between the two, not a two-way interaction. That is to say, the purpose of using culture to build a brand is to make the brand have its own cultural characteristics and connotation. Through Dongting Mountain’s products and interviews with employees, it is found that the brand popularity of Dongting Mountain is the main obstacle affecting its sales. Marketing strategy refers to the strategy of selecting and occupying the target market which is determined by the enterprise according to its own department conditions and external competition. It is an important part of making strategic marketing plan, and its essence is the overall design of marketing activities. This report will explain how to improve the brand popularity of Dongting Mountain through marketing strategies. SWOT model of Dongting Mountain Strength Weakness What do you do well? What could you improve? What unique resources can you draw on? Where do you have fewer resources than others? What do others see as your strengths What are other likely to see as weaknesses? ⚫ Water quality ⚫ Brand popularity ⚫ Short distance between place of ⚫ Limited consumer groups productions and water source ⚫ Limited flexibility to increase supply ⚫ Less investment on advertisement and marketing Opportunities Threats What opportunities are open to you?

Water quality The bottled water and barreled water in Dongting Mountain are natural mineral water, precious because of its high quality and small quantity. The water source is protected in deep underground rock crevices and is not easy to be affected by the environment. It naturally contains rich minerals and trace elements and tastes sweet and cold. 2. Short distance between place of productions and water source Because Dongting Mountain water source is located in Suzhou, it belongs to the plain area, so it is not difficult to build factories. Water sources are not far from major production sites, reducing water transport costs. Weaknesses: 1. Brand popularity Dongting mountain company always give consumers modest first impression, product promotion is very little. User loyalty to the brand is low, and the brand is not widely known, even by locals. 2. Limited consumer groups Most of the consumers groups of Dongting Mountain are families, students in the school and office workers in the enterprises. 3. Limited flexibility to increase supply Since the water source of natural mineral water is scarce, so it’s very hard for the company to suddenly increase the supply of the water. 4. Less investment on advertisement and marketing There are few investments on advertising the products. From the business report of the company, it’s obvious to see that there’s an increasing trend on investment of advertisement, but the management does not take place. The advertisement is not concentrated and abundant on the content which may not be memorized by the target audience. Opportunities: 1. Location Dongting Mountain is located in a plain area, making it easier to extract water and transport it.Due to its proximity to Taihu Lake, there is great opportunity to create a local tourist hotspot for tourism purposes in the future 2. Culture Suzhou is famous all over China and even the world for its first impression of small Bridges and flowing water. The water culture of Suzhou has been bred in the blood of local people in Suzhou. For such a city with deep cultural heritage, Dongting Mountain has many opportunities to combine products with culture and promote products with the media of Suzhou's local traditional culture. Bottled water and barreled water have enough space to present this characteristic city culture. 3. Transportation Suzhou as a relatively developed city, the infrastructure is very complete, transportation difficulty is not high, so the transportation cost is reduced. 4. Consumer’s awareness of health Dongting Mountain Company has done a lot of ground pushing. Many communities to promote the unified collection of tap drinking water, but this kind of water belongs to pure water, only to meet the needs of clean drinking water. For filter criteria are high pure water, all at the same time, the filtering process will be filtered out all the trace elements and impurities in the water itself, (even if the water quality is not as good as natural mineral water), purified water filtration process with chemical filtration, and natural mineral water because of the need to keep the trace elements and minerals in the water, only physical filtration. People's awareness of the difference between different drinking water and health awareness will lead consumers to choose the water with the best quality. Threats: 1. Matthew Effect of the market The Matthew effect, a term used by sociologists and economists, is a phenomenon of social polarization, with the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer. For the bottled water market, many large companies such as Nongfu Spring, Baisui Mountain, etc., occupy a stable position in the market. Although the entire bottled water market is expanding, the market share of low-end bottled water is declining at an annual rate of 8%, which is easy to form a monopoly or oligopoly in the whole bottled water market, so it is difficult for Dongting Mountain's products to have a strong competitiveness. 2. Long refresh cycle of the water source Nongfu Spring’s water is surface water, has a refresh cycle around 10 years. However, the refresh cycle for underground water is maximumly 1000 years. It’s hard for Dongting Mountain to suddenly increase the supply because of the scarcity of underground water. 3. Economics of scale With the expansion of the production scale of large companies, enterprises can make use of more advanced technology and machinery and equipment and other production factors. With the use of more manpower and machines, the division of production within the enterprise can be more reasonable and specialized; Technical training with a large number of people and production and operation management with a certain scale can also save costs. Since the supply is limited, for Dongting Mountain, this is now the best opportunities to increase the brand popularity by cultural brand construction. Connecting the brand with culture is a good way to expand the consumer’s group and increase the brand core competitiveness. PEST analysis: Politics: From a long-term perspective, the next five years. my country’s resource and energy problems Increasingly intensified, higher requirements will be placed on the conservation and effective use of energy resources. For this reason, the reform of resource product prices, including water price reform, will be further increased. Judging from the current situation, water price reform is only It is far from complete. Especially in terms of water price management theory, management thoughts and management methods, it is far from the requirements of marketization and commercialization. Compared with developed countries in the West like the United States, it is far behind. There are mainly the following risks First, inadequate supervision of price policy implementation has led to price control The effect of the system is affected. Inadequate supervision over the use of price adjustments has led to the coexistence of corporate losses and high wages for employees, or the price adjustments have been transferred to non-monopoly links and diversified business areas. Second. Rising water prices have not brought about the corresponding completion of the market mechanism good. The water price reform and the reform of the market mechanism are not synchronized. Many market mechanisms that should be established or improved have not been established in the course of price increases. Third, the composition of water prices is very unreasonable. Most cities in our country, Especially in Dog City, the price of water supply and sewage treatment has been combined into one water price. However, in the water price, the price of water supply accounts for the vast majority, generally 70~80%, and the price of sewage treatment only accounts for 20~30‰. Water resources only account for a symbolic proportion, usually less than 1‰. This is in line with the actual market price. The value is deviated. In fact, the cost per cubic meter of sewage treatment is roughly equivalent to the cost per cubic meter of water supply. Fourth, the unreasonable pricing mechanism of urban water supply leads to prices Regulation is difficult to stimulate operators to improve efficiency. Although the government has introduced a price decision hearing system and an expert review system in the process of setting or adjusting water supply prices; cost constraints have also fully implemented a regular price review system, but at present, my country's urban water supply mainly adopts a cost-plus pricing method and government price control. The basis is mainly the cost data reported by the water supply company. This cost is the individual cost of the company in a specific area, rather than the reasonable social average cost or advanced cost. Moreover, due to the asymmetry of cost information, government price control depends to a certain extent on the bargaining power between the government and the enterprise, and it is difficult to impose necessary constraints on the cost of water supply enterprises. Economy: The sustained rapid economic growth and the steady increase in the income of urban and rural residents have laid a foundation for the growth of my country's consumer products. Set a solid foundation. In recent years, the overall national economy of our country has maintained a steady and healthy development trend. Accompanying with the growth of the macroeconomy, the income level and quality of life of the majority of Chinese residents have also been greatly improved. Consumption activities have become more active and have become a strong demand driver for the domestic drinking water industry. Drinking water is the basic necessity in people’s daily life, with the improvement of the consumption level of Chinese residents, the market scale of China’s drinking water industry is also expanding. Looking at it, not only its market size is expanding, but the product structure of the beverage industry also follows Constantly upgrading with changes in consumer consumption views. Consumers’ demand for drinking water has changed from the initial thirst-quenching, delicious, Towards differentiation, health and localization. Drinking that is closely related to people’s lives and health. In terms of water, from the beginning of quenching thirst and necessity, it is developing towards health care. The development of the water industry and the company’s bottled (can) drinking water industry is shown in the following table. It can be seen that The development of Chinese water industry and bottled (can) drinking water industry has maintained a steady growth trend. Marketing Income Year Numerical (ten thousand yuan) increasing rate (%) 2017 47,159,217.20 10.17 2018 52,779,078.70 13.61 2019 57,848,533.30 7.47 2020 Jan-Oct 51,124,053.90 _ Since the 1970s, with the rapid development of modern industry, global environmental pollution has become more and more serious. In developed countries and regions, the atmosphere, soil, vegetation, surface water and groundwater are all polluted to varying degrees. Infections have seriously affected people’s lives and endangered human health. Water quality of urban water supply in many countries and regions. The quoted standards have been exceeded, and people are eager to drink high-quality water. Natural soda water is a deep-cycle high-quality water source, rich contains a variety of trace elements that are beneficial to human health, and its harmful components and microbial content are low, which can satisfy people's requirements for high-quality and healthy water. With the improvement of living standards and the aggravation of water pollution, health has attracted more and more attention from people. The water treatment of the urban tap water system has not yet reached the level of direct drinking from pipelines in developed countries.Families with relatively better economic conditions began to choose bottled soda and mineral water as drinking water. Society: 1. Population: By the end of 2019, the permanent resident population of Suzhou was 10.749,900, an increase of 0.3 percent over the previous year. The registered population was 7.226 million, up 2.7 percent over the previous year. From the perspective of urban and rural structure, in 2019, the urban population of Suzhou was 8.277 million, accounting for 77.00%; The rural population was 2.473 million, accounting for 23.00%. since water is necesery for people, the water sales volume will grows as the population grows. Also, birth rate rise will lead to the sales of mineral water for mother and baby grows. 2. Revenue: In 2019, Suzhou's GDP has exceeded 1.9 trillion yuan, with per capita disposable income of 60,000 yuan and per capita consumption expenditure of 30,000 yuan. Suzhou’s per capita income ranks first in Jiangsu Province, so they are more likely to pay attention to the good quality water, such as Dongting Mountain. 3. Degree of education: The shortage of educational resources in Suzhou, the rate of general high school continued to decline. Parents pay a lot attention to their children’s health and education, some of the parents think that good mineral water can help their children become smart. So they spend money on Dongting Mountain mineral water. 4. National culture: Suzhou people pay more attention to health, they like tea and classical gardens. Biluochun, one of the top ten famous teas in the world, is abundant in Dongting Mountain, and the propaganda idea of Dongting Mountain is: good water nourishes people, so a large number of Suzhou people will buy the water from Dongting Mountain. Technology: The end product of this industry is bottled water that consumers can choose to drink at any time. The improvement of consumers’ awareness of food safety and the enhancement of awareness of rights and interests, this year the government has promulgated and implemented a series of food safety laws and regulations, which further strengthened the social responsibility of food producers. Responsibility, regulates the operating behavior of food production enterprises. Increased supervision in the field of food safety and established Punitive damages system. By creating new kinds of technology, current errors or product quality problems could be reduced and also can have a significant adverse impact on the company's reputation and the company's product sales. Industry analysis: 1.quality of water Nongfu Spring uses surface water, while Dongting Mountain uses groundwater from 170 meters to 230 meters underground. Groundwater is less susceptible to changes in the environment, so the water is cleaner and safer. Of course, both brands are high-quality mineral water. 2.Main product and logo design From the perspective of mineral water alone, Dongting Mountain mainly produces bottled water, followed by bottled water. Nongfu Spring produces bottled water. Bottled water has many disadvantages. For example, it is very difficult to transport and cannot be transported to distant areas. Bottled water is different. Bottled water is easy to transport and can be shipped to every part of the country. Nongfu Spring’s label design is innovative, it is the image of the dripping water drop, full of dynamics. When you see this sign, it reminds you that this is Nongfu Spring. The symbol of Dongting Mountain is a mountain, which gives the impression that it is a tourist attraction rather than a company. Many people cannot recognize this symbol of Dongting Mountain. So, the design of the logo is very important for a company. 3. Consumer groups The consumer group of Nongfu Spring is any age group, while the consumer group of Dongting Mountain is relatively middle-aged and old. Many young people will buy brands like Baisuishan and Nongfu Spring. Many elderly people in Suzhou are more inclined to Dongting Mountain. 4. Culture In terms of culture, Dongting Mountain has a profound regional culture. Many products want to show the company’s culture, but few people really understand its culture. Nongfu Spring is a nationwide company, and it once cooperated with the Forbidden City to produce a product called the Forbidden City Bottle. It takes advantage of the complementary advantages of Nongfu Spring and the Forbidden City to spread the culture of the Forbidden City with a wide range of consumers. This not only enhanced the cultural connotation of Nongfu Spring, but also spread the culture of the Forbidden City, making it more accessible to the people. I think Dongting Mountain can also cooperate with some local scenic spots to promote local culture. 5. Marketing The marketing methods of the two companies are generally similar, but there is a big gap in many details. For example, the official website of Nongfu Spring has a very good design, which gives people a good visual sense, and makes people feel that this is a website to promote culture. The official website of Dongting Mountain is purely for selling products, giving people the feeling that they must buy products, so the first impression is not very good. On the advertising level, Nongfu Spring is good at emotional marketing. It is shot from the perspective of employees and can resonate with us. The advertisement of Dongting Mountain is shot from the perspective of the company, and it is very old and not innovative, which makes people feel very confused. This is also the reason why sales of Dongting Mountain are not high. Marketing strategy in the Internet era: Information fragmentation led to a mass market trend "fragmentation". With the growing of people's consumption choices, people's lifestyle, ideology also presents the trend of diversification. The rapid development of mobile Internet gives audience great initiative in the new period, each audience behind the screen become communicators and recipients of information, emerging new media forms convey of the mass information, audience according to personal preference demand for personalized information is becoming more and more obvious, the focus of concern is no longer confined to a few people, reflected in the market marketing is in the form of consumption demand, consumption scenarios and the fragmentation of the time. Were similar in age, education, income consumer class, may also be due to differences in concept of attitude differentiation for different consumer groups. Network media has the characteristics of two-way interactive and personalized communication, in front of the audience "broken", demographic characteristics of the area lies between force more and more weak, with similar life forms of audience gathered themselves together, and gradually form a focus group [. These focus groups in terms of media exposure to new media, new media and accelerated the trend of focus. The focus of media to brand information accurately transmitted to a specific audience, easier to meet the demand of differentiation in the market, implement accurate brand message. Young consumption group has a great potential, in 2018, for the node, after the last group 00 has become working-age adults, after the 90 groups from the youngest age 18 to 28 years old, biggest 80 groups most has become a thirtysomething, married after the main force of social development. As a digital immigrant, dynamic young props up the multicultural network system, the young have the characteristic of consumption behavior. Professor sheng-min huang in the article pointed out that under the new normal end there have been great changes in our demand, personalized, diversified consumption become mainstream, the best footnote to upgrade become consumption change, Teenagers has become mainstream. Before the Internet into the public view, the traditional consumer behavior model under the market environment is summarized as AIDMA model, the model from linear to describe the consumers come into contact with the product information to eventually produce purchase behavior, namely Attention (Attention), causing Interest (Interest), arouse the Desire (Desire), reserved Memory (Memory)And purchase Action (Action), five stages of psychological behavior, the model in the traditional market environment to the enterprise to carry out the advertising provides a theoretical guidance, explains the consumers in the traditional one-way, passive consumer behavior under the market environment, the consumer behavior depend on the enterprise marketing information for the development of consumer initiative in the market environment. After the Internet into people's life, has brought with all kinds of information, consumers have a self-service search product and brand information of the condition and ability, become the initiative "audience" and began to communicate with merchants and other consumers in the Internet, and to other users to share information in the Internet, a change in the past one-way, linear mode of consumer behavior, consumer behavior in the traditional Internet environment gradually transformed into an interactive model of online consumer behavior. In 2005, dentsu group for the first time to stand in the user's perspective, the traditional consumer behavior under the Internet environmentSummary for the AISAS model, the consumer behavior include note (Attention), Interest (Interest), Search Search), to purchase (Action) and Share (Share) five links. In traditional network economy, the consumer feedback and sharing of replaced the purchase link, become the end of the consumption under the network environment, enterprise marketing to the attention of consumers get higher, marketing theory research perspectives are also shifting from businesses to consumers. But the theory model is still emphasize brand power of advertising, no interaction based on consumer behavior and market environment, its theoretical significance in the era of mobile Internet has certain limitations. After entering the mobile Internet era, information transmission path, the people's consumption scenarios, the user's brand contact points are different from the traditional Internet times, consumer spending trajectory, user behavior is no longer a one-way transmission process, and the evolution of a multidimensional interaction process in the user's network. Brands and consumers can perceive each other in more convenient information network, free dialogue, consumers can even become the main body of information distribution and transmission, independent brand share information. Internet data center (DCCI) in 2011 based on connection dialog SICAS consumer behavior model of consumer spending trajectory summarized as: brand and customer perception (Sense), an Interest in each other and form Interactive (Interest & Interactive), to set up the connection and Interactive communication (Connect & Communicate), Action to purchase (Action), experience sharing (Share) five links. SICAS consumer behavior model is based on the user a bird 's-eye view of the network model, interactivity of information transmission in the mobile Internet times, disorder, the spread of information production initiative and other characteristics of the reinforcement, the mobile Internet era brand younger study of this article has strong theoretical significance, also can more clearly guide brand for insight into the track of consumer behavior. In today's information society, the consumer is surrounded by a vast amount of information, enterprise want to shape for their products one can move the image of the consumer mental state, must implement the accurate positioning, guide the consumer to produce the correct understanding of the brand, to create brand preference, trigger action such as buying, sharing. Drinks fast away industry homogeneity product emerge in endlessly, shorter product life cycle, the product of the alternative is stronger, therefore the unique brand personality and image is very important in the competition, younger market positioning, can make the enterprise effectively to younger brand cognitive information passed on to consumers. Precise positioning without insight into the enterprise to the market environment and consumer demand, the market fragmentation, the focus of the Internet marketing environment, the development of young consumer groups for major consumers, the brand to achieve younger, you need to brand the in-depth insight into the thoughts of young consumers and mentality, capture the young consumer spending, young consumers in a different way of life, clear their consumer demand in different scenarios, which produce targeted personalized products, covering different scenarios of all kinds of consumer demand. Brand positioning is a process of dynamic adjustment, the consumer market is constantly changing, the products are also constantly upgrading, consumer demand and the structure is in constant change, also greatly expand information dissemination channels, marketing also means also changed dramatically, beverage consumer market constantly have new products to join in the competition, a drink in its life cycle stage are also evolving, as a result, brand positioning need to accurately according to the change of dynamic adjustment, the brand has market dynamics and not to be eliminated. Any static positioning ideas will guide the brand on the path of aging, loss of brand vitality, loss of market competitiveness. Brand's growth is a process of dynamic, timely adopt dynamic positioning strategy can guarantee the vigor and vitality of the brand, in the brutal competition in the market with strong competitiveness. Brand concept is the kernel of brands and consumers to communicate, and can be unique to the brand, enhance the spiritual connotation of brand differentiation, and is an important method of giving brand personification. Brands in the brand younger building, brand concept itself is a certain stability, don't need enterprise often change their idea to cater to young consumers, but on the basis of full understanding of consumer values, its own brand is to express the value orientation of values and combine, looking for the meaning of common space, struck a chord with consumers. In the Internet age, full of unknown consumer groups, consumer preferences, consumption habits and is full of variables and the values of consumers pursues the differences, if the brand to cater to young consumers painstakingly, only in the tide of time loss of own brand characteristics, the correct treatment should be put consumers at the different values of refining, combined with the brand appeal, create brand concentrated and stable brand concept, in the process of brand communication and product sales brand values, for young consumers in the recognition of the value level. Over the years, Dongting Mountain has adhered to the brand concept of "Great Water Nourich Great People", which conforms to the consumption psychology of contemporary consumers at the value level, and does not deliberately cater to the interests of young consumers. The long- term and stable brand concept is used to guide the long-term production practice of the enterprise, and constantly conveys the value orientation of modesty to consumers. For natural mineral water enterprises, the brand characteristics, temperament and connotation conveyed by the brand concept are the important factors to highlight the difference of the brand and also the soul to establish the brand positioning. Conclusion: To enhance brand awareness, the brand should always keep pace with The Times, and the brand construction should keep pace with The Times. Only by grasping young consumers can the brand grasp its future. This paper argues that enterprise brand awareness of ascension must first based on their own for a deep insight into market environment and consumers, the Internet age of information fragmentation, media fragmentation changed the current marketing environment, the natural mineral water brand in our country is faced with more details and more intense market competition, more and more homogeneity of products on the market, bottled water, life cycles are getting shorter, at the same time, a new generation of young consumers is becoming a main consumption of the market, they have a strong sense of self, the pursuit of personality and pay attention to emotional experience, to a greater degree of accepting new things, Such marketing environment and consumer changes are both opportunities and challenges for brands. Brand party based on the change of market environment and consumer understanding and grasp, for its own brand positioning in the new period, younger consumers clearly positioning and product positioning. Second, the brand should pay attention to the brand value of transmission, makes the young consumers identify with the brand concept, starting from the needs and preferences of young consumers, in terms of product innovation, by younger and younger face shape of product packaging design, through product convey distinctive brand personality, set up the young brand image in the consumers' mind. Finally, brand way to integrate a variety of marketing communications, integrated use of various means of communication, the establishment of comprehensive three-dimensional brand communication channels, and spread widely in the Internet, have fun and personalized brand information, around consumers planning linkage of online brand activities, in a social network in the discourse system of young depth of communication with consumers, struck a chord with consumers' emotional and value identity, grasp the rhythm of the Internet era of brand information communication, deepen the cognition and memory consumers to the brand and the brand maintain lasting youthful energy. There are still some shortcomings in the research on the promotion of brand awareness in this paper.According to the relevant literature, there are few works and papers on enterprises such as Dongting Mountain Natural Mineral Water Company at home and abroad, and theories related to brands also have a certain number of years, so the reference value of this paper is limited.Due to the need of corporate confidentiality, the latest market data cannot be obtained in this paper. Therefore, the effect of brand awareness promotion studied in this paper may be slightly different from the actual situation.In the future study and work practice, the author will continue to pay attention to the research on brand awareness improvement and the latest developments in the industry, and dig deeply into the problem of brand awareness improvement, so as to make up for the deficiencies in the research of this paper.
