Consumers are more and more interested in domestic products, many domestic products have quality and designs that can compete fairly with foreign products. However, the difficulty is the popularity, "coverage" of the brand name of domestic products and local goods is still a challenging problem. Issues related to brand development, building advertising channels, product introduction, as well as feedback and after-sales channels, etc. are becoming an important and essential stage in the current production and supply chain.

Mr. Nguyen Van Trung, a resident in Tan Hiep Ward, Bien Hoa City said: "My family often goes to shopping malls and supermarkets. I noticed that Vietnamese brands and products are now displayed on shelves and counters, as well as many improvements in packaging and product images, but after-sales services of these brands such as: free warranty support, return policies and supply counters providing customer care services... are very few.While these are decisive factors that help improve reputation, reliability, affect the decision to buy that product or brand or not. Then, I hope there will be more and more after-sales services to help Vietnamese businesses get closer to Vietnamese consumers "- Mr. Trung shared.

Mr. Chau Minh Nguyen, Deputy Chairman of Dong Nai Business Association said that many local businesses, especially small and medium-sized enterprises, still lack channels for customer feedback and evaluation.

In addition to the initiative from businesses, in order to improve the competitiveness of local goods, authorities need to have more programs and plans to support market development, marketing, and organize surveys of consumer opinions.
