The author, Mr. Zhang Jiming, has firsthand experience with the highly representative and controversial health product marketing period in China during the 1990s. He has been a part of the pharmaceutical health product market, having navigated its challenges over the past decade. Through years of hardship, he has developed keen insight and a pragmatic approach.
China's health product industry is young and full of challenges. It is a field where talented individuals shine, driving the industry's robust growth and creating valuable experiences that even multinational corporations can learn from. Many marketing cases, ideas, techniques, and strategies have been widely reported in media, spreading through the cosmetics, OTC medicine, and food industries, and have even been replicated. However, the market only recognizes successful brands. In today's era of product homogenization, marketing planning is especially crucial.
Standing at the height of the industry with a unique perspective, the author outlines the marketing landscape. Expanding beyond the health product industry, based on sharp observation and in-depth market research, the book scientifically explores and summarizes various marketing strategies and methods for health products, OTC medicines, and cosmetics through typical case studies. Particularly, the book revisits and analyzes the successes and failures of some well-known companies, vividly depicting historical scenes.
The brand marketing theory advocated by the author is a culmination of his decade-long marketing experience and reflections. From the book, we can see how brands like Nao Bai Jin, Ke Cai, Yi Ren Jing, and Hui Ren broke through and stood out, and we can admire how Gu Han Yang Sheng Jing revitalized itself and how San Bao Shuang Xi made a comeback. All of these reflect the scientific and timely nature of brand marketing theory. In fact, most successful pharmaceutical health product companies in China can trace their success to the influence of brand marketing theory.
