Web-based sales methods provide convenience for the sales industry to collect and accumulate relevant information. Many companies use these data and perform big data analysis, to provide references for the company's sales plan, product design, market positioning and even strategy formulation, making it more precise.

The quasi-market strategy not only saves costs, but also brings more abundant profits. All this contributed the company's turn to digital marketing.
