This study is based on AHP(Analytical Hierarchy Process) questionnaire, interviewing the flour factory, flour wholesaler and the firsthand flour purchaser.

Because of the higher price of changing another flour brand, the customer tends to stick to the old one. When the customer is not satisfied with the seller’s service, the seller will lose them. Once the customer is gone, it’s hard for the seller to call them back. The flour wholesaler tends to the brand image. They market various brands and what they sell is based on their brand image. They have established a firm relationship with their customer. Thus the flour factory shall establish its product and quality ascendancy.
