High-quality after-sales service can significantly improve customer satisfaction and loyalty. Surveys show that the probability of existing customers repurchasing is as high as 60% to 70%, while the probability of new potential customers repurchasing is only 5% to 20%. Through first-class after-sales service, satisfying customers can effectively promote secondary or even multiple transactions.

Companies should continue to increase R&D investment to promote the continuous upgrading of smart home appliances and Internet of Things technologies. By introducing new materials and new technologies, improve the intelligence level, health and environmental protection performance, and user experience of products.

Through market promotion and consumer education, improve consumers' awareness and trust in after-sales service, which will help stand out in the fierce market competition and enhance the brand's market competitiveness.
