This paper employs quantitative analysis to explore the value drivers of female consumers to buy whitening products. We adopted the product-value combination analysis and Borda’s function screening to accurately determine the customer value drivers. To understand the different performance characteristics created by customer value, this paper also employs conjoint analysis to create a set of preference curves according to a variety of customer trade-offs. These performance curves provide a comprehensive evaluation of the pros and cons of competitor’s products, and thus identify suggested marketing strategies for enterprises. This paper also uses TOPSIS to validate the consistency of the respondent’s answers. The research results show that customer value drivers for whitening products are (1) quality; (2) spokesperson; (3) improving skin texture; (4) whitening effect; (5) price; (6) ingredients; (7) comfortability; and (8) fragrance. The highest customer value index was for SKII among the four whitening products examined in this study. Alternatively, the lowest customer value index was for Neutrogena. There are still items that need to improve for these four whitening products as they were rated far from the ideal customer value. This paper finally analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of each customer value driver and proposes feasible suggestions. |
