advertising to promote your brand image. Improving resource allocation in global
expansion, especially in China. However, with the economy unstable, its financial condition
is likely to suffer, adding another downside to maintenance. Their market share in a
competitive price race, even though they offer good service and customer loyalty is
relatively higher. The need to train your deliverers more when your customer incident
occurs damages the company's reputation and affects customer loyalty. According to the

in order to become the market leader.
