As a characteristic snack of Liuzhou, luosifen are often produced in small workshops due to the complexity of ingredients and the limitations of eating habits. Although liuzhou people love to eat it, few outsiders are willing to try it in the face of the "dark king" of food industry.

In fact, in order to make river luosifen out of Liuzhou, the Liuzhou government has made a lot of attempts.

As early as 2010, Liuzhou proposed to make luosifen, a characteristic food, into a city name card. In Opinions on Strengthening the Development of accommodation and catering industry, liuzhou first proposed the project of "luosifen entering Beijing".

The annual output value of luosifen is almost nothing compared to 2004 billion yuan of automobile production in 2019. However, river luosifen cannot be underestimated in creating city name cards.

Cheng Fangxiao, former director of Liuzhou Commission of Commerce, once said bluntly: "Although one out of every 10 cars sold in the country belongs to Liuzhou, it is not called Liuzhou Baojun or Liuzhou Wuling. Liuzhou is still only a small third-tier city in western China. It is not well-known nationwide and rarely mentioned."

From "Acid Rain City" to "Garden City", "Butterfly Change" Brought by urban Development Concept

In the 1980s and 1990s, the extensive development mode focusing on heavy and chemical industry brought considerable economic benefits to Liuzhou, but also inevitably caused environmental pollution. At that time, the acid rain rate in Liuzhou reached 98.5%, earning the title of "Ten rain and nine acids".

In 2001, Liuzhou began to overhaul its factories.

During the short period from 2005 to 2012, liuzhou government and enterprises invested heavily to carry out comprehensive treatment of environmental pollution in an all-round way through a series of measures to strengthen environmental protection.

In 2010, Liuzhou was named "National Garden City".

Up to now, liuzhou city planting bauhinia has reached 280,000 plants, the whole city enveloped in a piece of pink smoke purple clouds to form a "bauhinia city" landscape.

From the "acid rain city" to the ambient air quality of the second national standard, Liuzhou's urban appearance can be called "great change".

However, the unique courage and vision of liuzhou government has made an almost impossible road in the history of urban development, which is both an industrial base and a livable city.

If only to create business cards, it is more inclined to the city publicity, and city marketing is more focused on the cultural background behind.

Take Liuzhou luosifen as an example. When the brand is integrated with the city, it not only sells the color, fragrance, but also the taste memory of a city. Therefore, in the transmission, there are people, there are stories, there is a breath of daily life, can better reflect a lively Liuzhou.

The most valuable meaning of city marketing is to build a three-dimensional and profound city image based on simply attracting eyeball.
