Journalist Notes

The wishful thinking behind the price cuts

Not long ago there was a famous fresh electricity business platform fell, is said to be defeated in logistics and operations, but its failure did not scare those who are eager to outsiders. Taobao, Beijing East, Suning easy to buy, Shun Fung ... We can see that more electric dealers are expanding their territory in the fresh field, what attracts the shrewd businessmen?

From the reporter's investigation can be seen, many fresh electricity business products prices even below the offline market 50%. However, it was not long ago that the price of fresh electricity dealers has been recognized as a fact, also did not see them who said they are losing money, the answer to the question is clear, this is a profit treasure land.

One businessman said it was not a profound business: if the fruit shop played a very low promotional price, at least 70% of the customers attracted to the store would "conveniently" buy some extra merchandise. The same applies to the current fresh electricity providers, on the market there is hardly a fresh electric dealer only sell fruit, even like every day orchard, there will be a combination of "high-end" gift box products to subdivide products, and delicious 77 is not lack of green organic vegetables, poultry meat fresh and other high-end fresh products. If you apply the above business, you will find that even if 10% of the passengers attracted by the Low-cost fruit will "conveniently" patronize the high-end shelves next door, profitability is no longer a problem. More importantly, the summer as a fruit consumption season, the original is a good time to cultivate users, an investment, long-term benefits, such a rare opportunity, how can the appliance manufacturers miss?
