In this era of rapid economic development, all cosmetic brands are in fierce competition, but homogeneous products are flooding.

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. But merchants can't do too much marketing, because it may cause customers' resentment. Therefore, symbol marketing plays an important role in the interaction between brands and consumers. 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.
