Starting out as a state-run enterprise, TSC has sought to diversify its operations from its core salt business to comply with uninhibited private, international competition. Taiwan Salt is now divided into Seawater Chemistry, Biotech, Info-Tech, and Distribution business units based on their respective unique product lines and directions of future development. In terms of Biotech, Taiwan Salt has applied medical-grade collagen to its medical/cosmetics business and turned it into a major revenue source. Therefore, it will be necessary to study consumers¡¦ behavior in buying cosmetics in order to promote and sell this product. This research examined consumers¡¦ sex, age, education, occupation, and monthly income and investigated how differences in these factors and in post-purchase satisfaction and loyalty would lead to significant differences in suggestions and perception. Customers of TSC¡¦s Kaohsiung sales office were, based on convenient sampling, taken as the subjects that received questionnaire survey.
