The 4Ps of marketing are product, price, place and promotion, which are popular among the marketing professions. The place is used to describe a product's physical or online placement; a product, event, or brand is promoted through interactions with target consumers in the marketing mix, which results in sales between employees and customers, also known as Promotion; in terms of the products, it relates to a product's attributes, advantages, designs, packaging, and branding. It is the key component of the marketing plan; price last but not least is how much a client is willing to spend on a good or service. This research aims to apply ply 4Ps strategies analysis to the various brands, and gain a deep understanding on their experiences, proposing some feasible suggestions for future improvement.
