ANTA Sports: Is it difficult for Olympic marketing to have long-term results?

The marketing strategies launched by listed sports companies in the Mainland for the Olympics may, in the short term, be beneficial to the company’s product sales and brand image, and the performance will be greatly improved within a short period of time.

However, with the in-depth development of the entire industry, defects common to some companies in the industry are gradually exposed. Due to the increasingly intense competition, the current development model of the company is not sustainable, and transformation and upgrading are imminent.
