So when the table tennis world champion Kong Linghui in the CCTV shouted, “I choose, I like” when to meet the consumer psychology, advertising force strength of advertising time to help Anta blew open the domestic market, Anta successful, but years have passed In emphasizing personal life, as consumers shift from selecting products to choose brands, and select the brand actually stand in the choice of a life, attitude to life, showing that a personality, but the past few years have been shouting Anta advertising slogan “I choose, I like” is no longer attractive, with the Olympic champion has endorsement of the sports brand, consumers are no longer insane worship of the Olympic champion, so anemic Anta empty slogan, the difficult attracted individual consumers, the same Erke “Come together, Erke,” Del benefit of “my personality” special step “non-ordinary sense of” do not reflect the brand personality , but they hired a group of admirers of entertainment stars, which also contributed to sales. 2004 Athens Olympics, Anta invite well-known marketing planning agency – Mr. Ye to the company slogan, “win power”, unfortunately only the spokesmen for the three world champions won champion women’s volleyball, while Kong Linghui, Wang Hao did not win the championship, “win power” a bit weak.
