Abstract
A good marketing strategy is a competitive advantage. This study aims to examine ANTA Company's marketing approach by utilizing literature analysis and integrated analysis methods with data collection. The main areas of focus include product strategy, price strategy, place strategy, promotion strategy and a SWOT analysis to analyze the effects of Anta's marketing approach, identify any shortcomings in the strategy, and provide appropriate recommendations for improvement. From the analysis of Anta’s marketing strategy and the gains of the strategies, the research results show that Anta's marketing plan is primarily aligned with the buying potential of Chinese customers but there are 3 existing problems, such as minimal brand recognition outside China, lack of targeted marketing campaigns, and design issues. This case study provides several suggestions which specifically are brand concept and media, social media topics, measure and optimization, diversification of brand building and differentiation of domestic and foreign markets, innovation, and addressing controversies in response to these problems.
