concerns are derived from the brand trust. For businesses, how to increase their own brand
-building to ensure that the brand reputation, thus forming a good market reputation to
become one of the important factors about consumer choice.

Lv Xiaojing said that consumer advocates need to pay attention to three aspects: the first
is the “good consumption” to a wide range of contrast, look at the quality should be good
for consumers consumption, and now the network is developed, not only do price comparison,
but also to do a quality comparison, depends on no complaints, all aspects of contrast, and
then go to a regular manufacturers to buy, even if your price point is acceptable.
Second, if a problem, “Capitalising on the right to use” limitation not, but the smell of
the furniture has been scattered over the scene is destroyed, consumers how to prove the
quality of, so that should be good to use rights.
Third, “the ability to distinguish between their own situation which class to go to the
relevant departments as soon as possible complaints, while also preserving evidence.
