Situation Analysis
In the last five years, WLK allocated a huge portion of its budget to marketing. The strategy focused on mass marketing efforts indeed proved to be very successful in capturing the different target segments through various mediums used. This eventually translated to an all time high revenue of 17 billion yuan in 2010 and has made WLK a brand that consumers trust the most.
