다음 글의 주제로 가장 적합한 것은?
It may seem improbable that you can make money by selling to people who don't have much, but companies that have actually bothered to try are flourishing. Hindustan Lever has built a lucrative business in Africa and India selling brand-name consumer goods, from lotion to salt. Casas Bahia, a department-store chain, now sells more than five billion dollars' worth of brand-name electronics and appliances to working-class Brazilians every year. Big companies often disdain what they think of as the low-end market, because they make a lot less money on each sale than they do selling high-end goods. But, because of the sheer size of that market, they can still make a lot of money on it.

Poor people do not have high standards for their products.

The objectives of big companies should not be solely based on profits.

People in low-end markets can be a great opportunity for large businesses.

The individual purchasing power is still very low in the developing countries.
