In order for businesses to survive in an intensely competitive environment, they should better understand the consumer and better understand their current and potential needs. Businesses show special sensitivity to the image of their brands in the eyes of consumers. As a result of globalization, the world has become a single market. In a single market, in the face of rapidly changing conditions, the biggest weapon of businesses is their loyal customers. In order to retain their customers, businesses have to develop marketing strategies that produce solutions to their problems.
