“What Makes UNIQLO Unique? Successful Marketing Strategy Is Behind the Drive”  

In recent years, globalization has accelerated the fashion industry around the world, and Japanese fashion brand UNIQLO has become one of the largest brands in the world. To examine UNIQLO’s marketing strategy, I did a survey of consumer behavior of UNIQLO by collecting results of 215 copies of the questionnaire. Analyzing the data with SWOT analysis and 4Ps marketing, I would like to examine three points: 1) How do the results of consumer behavior relate to marketing strategy? 2) How does the marketing strategy makes UNIQLO achieve success or be different from other famous brands? 3) Based on the survey, is there something that UNIQLO can improve?

The conclusion is that entertainment programs in Taiwan really need improvement.
