Loudness: Discussing the new ecology of the "Light +" era around the eight major dimensions

The event explores the industry's transformation from loudness, traffic to sales. In the all-media era, the lighting industry's transformation from voice volume and traffic to sales requires the comprehensive use of social media operations, key opinion leader (KOL) cooperation, content marketing, search engine optimization, advertising, online and offline activities and other strategies. At the same time, we focus on product quality and performance, differentiated marketing, preferential activities and after-sales services to enhance consumer satisfaction and loyalty, ultimately achieving sustained growth in sales and maximizing brand value.

How to improve quality and expand increment in the existing competition is also a hot topic at the event. In the stock competition, core technology is still the cornerstone of competition. Lighting companies should continue to improve their technical capabilities to support product research and development, quality control, supply chain management, and provide customers with a full range of technical support and after-sales services.

In addition, the activity also studies how to achieve transformation in the era of variables and enhance the energy of enterprises in facing challenges. In the era of variables, lighting companies need to keep pace with the times, innovate business models, provide customized services by focusing on consumer needs, use digital technology to innovate marketing channels, strengthen cross-border cooperation, expand business areas, and achieve continued market expansion and growth. At the same time, lighting companies also need to develop both lamps and systems. This means that companies are no longer satisfied with providing single products such as light sources, lamps, and electrical appliances, but must become integrators and system service providers that can provide customers with comprehensive solutions.
