The final research results show that correct symbol marketing is a successful marketing strategy for merchants, and it will leave a deep impression on customers.

It allows brands to target consumer groups more accurately, accelerate their purchase demands, and also allow them to burst into a strong consumption desire in a short period of time, but this marketing method cannot be overdone.
