Theproductreferredtohereisbroad.Anythingthatcanbemeasuredatpricecanbecalledaproduct.Productinformationisthebasisofmarketinformation,becauseallcompetitioncomesfromproducts.TherearemorethanathousandbrandsandtrademarknamesregisteredbyCoca-Colainvariousfields.Itcanbeseenthatthepurposeistoeliminateinfringementloopholesinvariousindustries.IfyouopenaCoca-Colarestaurant,I'msorry,youarebreakingthelaw.AlthoughCoca-Coladoesnotoperaterestaurants,itdoesnotallowyoutoborrowitsproductbrandsatwill.Productinformationincludesnotonlytheindustry,butalsothecontentrelatedtotheseindustries.Specifically,thereareseveral:productname,shape,packaging,specifications,pricesystem,productcharacteristicsanduniquepoints,futuredevelopmenttrends,etc.Forexample,instantnoodlecompaniesneedtoknowproductinformation:howmanybrandsarethemaininstantnoodleproductsinthemarket?Howmanyvarietiesarethere?Howmanytypesofpackagingarethere?Whatisthegeneralprice?Whatarethecharacteristicsofdifferentproductcategories?Whataretheuniqueaspectsofeachbreed?Thisisofcoursebasedonthemainstreamproductsinthemarket,thisisonlyintuitiveinformation.Thereisalsospeculationinformation,whatwillbethedemandinthefuture?Whatkindofproductswillappear?Whichoneswillbeeliminated?Whichwillbecomemainstream?Onlyifyouhavetheaboveinformation,youcanmakeaccuratejudgmentsanddecideyourfutureproductstrategyasadecisionmaker.Differenttypesofcompanieshavedifferentstrategicprinciples.Forexample,leadingcompaniesaremoreaboutcreatingproductsthatareindemand,whilefollow-upcompaniesaremainlymanufacturingproductsthatfollowmarketneeds.

2,Channelinformation.

Whyischannelinformationimportant?Becausethedomesticmarketisextremelyimmature,andthereareseriousregionalandurban-ruraldifferences,itistruetosaythatthemarketcanbecontrolledbythechannels.Hereisaverysignificantexample:Originally,Procter&Gambleisanabsolute“bigguy”inChina’sdailychemicalmarket,butitsstrategyofpositioninghigh-endproductsandfocusingonurbanchannelshasgivenZhejiangNaaisianexcellentopportunity.Assoonasthecarved-brandproductsofAceappeared,theyrushedtothesecondary,tertiaryandruralmarketswiththeirlowpricesclosetothecommonpeople.Asaresult,theywereagreatsuccessandbecameastrongcompetitorofProcter&Gamble,andDingjieshampooproductsAlsohitanultra-lowpriceof9.9yuan/bottle,thepurposeisalsotoopenupthetertiarymarketandruralchannels.ThesameisthesloganofCoca-Cola,allowingChineseruralpeopletodrinkCoca-Cola,whichshowsthatitattachesgreatimportancetotheruralmarket.Therefore,controllingchannelsisthekeytomasteringthemarket.Itisimpossibletoincreasemarketsharewithoutstudyingchannelinformation.

Channelinformationspecificallyincludes:channelcompositionoftheindustry,characteristicsofchannelmembers,howtodistributebenefits,howtoavoidchannelconflicts,channelentrycosts,etc.Takingshampooasanexample,thechannelcoverageisextremelywide.Itisnotonlysuitablefortraditionalwholesale,retail,andchainstores,butalsoforlargesupermarkets,specialtystores,andevengrouppurchases.AsatraditionalChinesechannel,therearegenerallySeveralnotablefeatures:First,thechannelstructureislongandnarrow,rangingfromprovincial-prefecture-levelwholesaleandretail-townshipwholesaleandretail-ruralretail-consumer,atleastfourorfive-levelchannelmembers;second,thechannelstructureiscomplex,notonlyVarioustypesofchannels,andthechannelsoverlapwitheachother,suchastheexistingwholesaleinprefecture-levelcities,therearealsoterminalretail,andlarge-scalestoreterminals.Moreover,astheideathattoseizetheterminalistoseizetheconsumerisdeeplyrootedintheheartsofthepeople,manufacturersaretryingtoshortenthechannelconstructionasmuchaspossible;third,itisdifficulttocontrol,becauseofthecomplexityofthechannel,itisdifficultforeachmanufacturertocontrolthechannel,andthecostIncreasesmakeitadilemma:ontheonehand,controllingchannelsistheneedtocontrolthemarket,ontheotherhand,itisdifficulttomanage,especiallytherelationshipbetweenvariouschannels,andtheinvestmentishuge.Withthechangesintheretailindustry,traditionalchannelsareundergoingprofoundchanges,themostnotableofwhichistherapidriseoflargeterminalsandtheweakeningofwholesale.However,duetotheslowgrowthofruralincomes,traditionalchannelswillstilldominateforaconsiderableperiodoftime.

3.ConsumerInformation

BecauseofChina’svastregionandthelargeregionalandurban-ruraldifferences,therearehugedifferencesamongconsumers,andmoreConsumersaresignificantlyaffectedbyadvertisingandword-of-mouthbecausetheylackarationalknowledgeoftheproduct.Thisrequirescompaniestoinvestigateandanalyzeconsumercompositionandpurchasingpsychology,consumerpsychologyandconsumerbehaviorinvariousregions.Thesurveymethodsherecanbedividedintorationalsurveysandperceptualsurveys.Generally,rationalsurveysneedtohireaspecialsurveycompanytoconductdatastatisticsandanalysisresultsthroughscientificsurveymethods.Thesurveyresultsaremoreaccurateandhaveagreatersignificancefordecision-making.ButthismethodIttakestoomuchtimeandmoney,somostcompaniesfocusonperceptualsurveys,thatis,analyzeconsumerbehaviorsbasedonknowledgeandexperiencethroughmarketandsalesstaffinquiring,observinganddiscussingconsumers.Generallyspeaking,multinationalcompaniesattachgreatimportancetoconsumerbehavioranalysis.TakeProcter&Gambleasanexample.Whenconductingashampooconsumersurvey,itanalyzedtheshampooneedsofdifferentwomen,anddeterminedinturntherejoicesforrefreshingshampoo,theheadandshouldersforanti-dandruff,thenutritiousPantene,etc.,regardlessoffunctionandThedeterminationofthenameisanaccuratejudgmentandpositioningofconsumerbehaviorandpsychology.

4.Strategicinformation

Atthistime,thestrategicinformationismainlyforcompetitors,thatis,throughthejudgmentandanalysisofthecompetitors’marketbehavior.Marketstrategy.Thisisapplicabletothelawofwarof"knowingyourselfandtheenemy,andneverendinahundredbattles".Onlybythoroughlyunderstandingtheideasandbehaviorsofcompetitorscanweformulateaccuratemarketstrategies.HereisanexampleofaLenovocomputer.Intheearly2000s,whenIntelPentium4appearedonthemarket,manydomesticcomputerPCmanufacturersrushedtocontractwithLenovotoproduceanewgenerationofpowerfulcomputers,butatthistimeLenovoInstead,theylaunchedadisplayrevolutionacrossthecountry,promotingLCDscreensandcomputersthatdonothurttheeyes,andconductinghypearoundthecountry,causingvariousmanufacturerstofollowup.Asaresult,threemonthslater,LenovoandIntelsuddenlysignedacontract.Establishingstrategicpartnersandcooperatingintheproductionofnext-generationPCcomputers.Thiskindoftacticalstrategymakesvariousmanufacturerstiredandcopingwithit,therebyfurtherwideningthedistancebetweeneachother.Strategicinformationisoftenobtainedbyanalysis.Therefore,marketcompetitionitselfis"impermanent,impermanent".Onlyifyoucancorrectlychooseyouropponent,evaluateyouropponent,positionyourself,andwinbysurprise,youwillbeableto"standonnothing."Aplaceofdefeat".

5.Strategicinformation

Theabovearejustthemainaspectsinvolvedinmarketinformation.Thecontentofmarketinformationisall-encompassing,andalotofedgeinformationalsoplaysaveryimportantrole.Inshort,allinformationthatisusefulforcompetitionmustbesearched,butitispreciselybecauseofthecomplexityandvariabilityofvariousinformationthatitisdifficulttodiscerntheauthenticity.Andbecausemarketinformationishighlydeveloped,howtoidentifyeffectiveinformationfromthevastinformationhasbecomeacrucialissue.

Management

Managementofmarketinformationisveryunsystematicinmostcompanies.Tomakeeffectiveuseofinformationandbecomethebasisforreferencedecision-making,theremustbeasystematicinformationcollectionandmanagementsystem:

First,wemustestablishmarketinformationmanagement

b>Organization.Mostcompaniesregardthemanagementofmarketinformationasoneofthefunctionsofthemarketdepartment.Theybelievethatthemarketingdepartmentismainlyresponsibleforthecollectionandmanagementofmarketinformation.Theythinkthatitwillbedoneonceandforallifsomeonehandlesit.Thebiggestproblemwiththisconceptisthatitisnotclearaboutthemarketinformation.Don'tthinkaboutitspurpose.Marketinformationprovidesdecision-makingsupport.Thetransformationofinformationintodecision-makingisacomplexprocess,notsimplyaggregatinginformation.Sincethesourcesofmarketinformationarediverse,theinformationbasisrequiredfordecision-makingisalsoextremelywide.Therefore,everyoneintheenterprisemustbecomeinformationandintelligencepersonnel,andtheconsciousnessofallemployeesmustbeestablished.

Itisnecessarytoestablishaninformationdecision-makingorganizationheadedbythebusinessowner,andsetupadepartmentspecificallyresponsibleforinformationmanagementandprocessing.Professionalswithrichmarketexperiencewillconductapreliminaryanalysisofvariousaspectsofinformationandproposesomedifferentsolutions.Thenitishandedovertothedecision-makingleveltomakedecisions.

Secondly,marketinformationmusthaveaclearpurposeandgoal.Ontheonehand,theinformationmanagementdepartmentmustsetclearrequirementsandgoalsforthemarketinformationtobecollected.Itisbesttoclarifywhatkindofmarketinformationisneededintheformofaform,andwhatinformationisvaluable?meaningful?Ontheotherhand,informationcollectionmustbetime-sensitive,especiallyforcompetitivestrategicinformation.Onlybyunderstandingandrespondinginatimelymannercanyouseizetheopportunityandfaceitcalmly.

Theinformationcollectionfunctionsofdifferentdepartmentsandpersonnelshouldbeclearanddetailed,anddifferentdepartmentsshouldberequiredtoprovidedifferentinformation.Forexample,marketpersonnelshouldprovideindustryinformationandpolicyinformation,andsalespersonnelshouldprovideinformationoncompetingproductsConsumerinformation,newproductinformation,technicalpersonneltoprovidenewtechnicalinformation,etc.
