Abstract
Against the backdrop of the integration of artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things, which has given rise to new smart-home business models, the innovation of marketing strategies has become a crucial factor in the industry's development. Consequently, research on marketing strategies in the smart-home context carries significant practical and theoretical relevance. Although studies on smart-home marketing are increasingly available, most current research remains focused on the technical level or macro-market analysis, failing to systematically uncover how AI technology shapes the underlying logic of marketing strategies. To address this research gap, this article adopts a single-case study approach, selecting Xiaomi-a leading enterprise in the smart-home field-as a representative case for in-depth investigation. Through systematic analysis, this study aims to construct a comprehensive theoretical model that traces the pathway from AI-enabled technological empowerment to marketing strategy innovation and, ultimately, to product iteration. This model not only offers a structured framework for the smart-home appliance industry to respond to market dynamics and facilitate technology adoption, but also compensates for gaps in the existing literature and provides actionable insights for enterprise practice.
