Marketing plays a crucial role in the success of dietary supplements and functional
foods for current and future customers. Before commercializing the final product,
there are some prerequisites that need to be understood and analyzed before
embarking on the process. Intellectual property protection, patent and trademark
availability are key factors in the success of functional products. It is important to
understand that both downstream and upstream marketing are essential to the
success of your product and that your budget plays an important role in marketing.
It's important to spend money on marketing at the right time. We will start with an
introduction and then introduce the past and present situation of functional foods
on the market. Now let's take a closer look at upstream and downstream marketing
and the risks associated with unplanned and inefficient marketing practices. Next,
we'll discuss the types of brand equity and branding, and how advertising can play
a major role in the success of functional products. Analyzing the customer's
thoughts is very important and the functional product must be able to serve both
the physical and psychological level of the customer. The talk will also talk about
different forms of marketing and the importance of astounding marketing spending
and effort throughout the life cycle of functional products. The presentation also
points out how marketing, product labels and regulations need to be synchronized
to avoid issues from regulatory agencies. The product marketing cycle is
,important. The marketing team needs to do their best before and during the product
launch. At peak product sales, you need to continue spending on marketing and
various marketing activities, but in the final stages of your product, you need to
reduce your marketing spend and redirect to the next product to be released.
Continuing the cycle is important and we will discuss in detail the various factors
that drive this cycle.
