Abstract
This paper studies the internal logic of the major brands represented by Starbucks adopting this marketing method, and explores how the brands transform the hot topics on the Internet into hot consumption spots and attract consumers through personalized marketing strategies. At the same time, this paper will also focus on the possible problems in the process of personalized marketing, and put forward relevant suggestions. In fact, due to the rapid development of modern information technology and increasingly fierce market competition, enterprises should implement precision marketing, select clear market segments as target markets on the basis of market segmentation, gain in-depth insight into consumer psychology, and tap consumer demand. With the help of MBTI personality test, enterprises can accurately and quickly locate consumer groups, identify the market, and maximize corporate benefits. At the same time, as the social consumption decision-making currency in the new network era, it is closely related to the individual needs of consumers. When enterprises grasp the personality characteristics of consumers and formulate marketing strategies, consumers' loyalty to the brand is greatly enhanced, and the marketing efficiency of enterprises is also greatly improved. Therefore, the segmentation of consumer groups based on MBTI has far-reaching research significance, and this marketing strategy will play an important role in the future corporate marketing.
