This study takes MIXUE as the research object, adopts the SWOT model, aims to analyze the success of its marketing strategy, and puts forward optimization suggestions. Through the SWOT model analysis, the potential problems with the current marketing strategies of MIXUE are revealed.

At the same time, this paper proposes improvement strategies in terms of enhancing innovation, strengthening food safety management, improving personnel management and after-sales service, optimizing cost performance, broadening price range, and increasing brand promotion channels, so as to enhance marketing power and competitiveness. It provides new ideas for improving its marketing power and competitiveness, and also has reference significance for the development of the entire tea industry.
