The electric dealers aimed at the big market of 3 trillion yuan.

Among them, the network retail turnover to exceed 3 trillion yuan, accounting for social consumer goods retail total proportion of more than 9%.

Although E-commerce market day more than a day, but to win the market will not necessarily increase the number of electric dealers, 2012 will be the "elimination of the Year", or the electric Business "growth year"? You may wish to take a closer look at the latest trends of the electricity dealers.

"scholarly" intoxicating

the traditional industry to the electronic commerce domain migration is the foreseeable trend, when the physical bookstore closes, the online book Fair is lively.

a few days ago, the online supermarket for consumers familiar with the electric dealer's website 1th, announced the entry of online book sales field. Pan, vice president of Shop No. 1th, said the company plans to add 500,000 new categories this year, including imported food, digital 3C products, books and jewellery. Referring to the introduction of the category of books, Pan said, first of all, as a standardized product, the book's net shopping threshold is very low, books can improve user stickiness, and the search flow of shop 1th has a greater help; second, the book can reflect a person's habits, habits of thinking, consumption habits, Book sales information can help dealers understand customer needs and shopping behavior, thereby helping to enhance the consumer experience. "We chose books because consumers told us they wanted to buy books at store 1th," he stressed. ”

Coincidentally, recently, Alibaba's website Cat shopping mall also spread the information into the book field. It is reported that the days of the cat will not use proprietary mode to operate the book, but the introduction of the book in the field with the advantages of the business operators, when it is expected to become the first to enter the cat platform of the book sellers. Analysys International analyst Yanyan bluntly: "The cat into the book field will reshape the book market competition pattern." "In her view, the traditional booksellers may find the" rebirth "path on the cat. Previously, the book sales line on the trend to defeat a large number of entity booksellers, traditional bookstores suffer from lack of resources and operational capacity, has been unable to find the line down to the line of access. And the cat involved in the field of books, will no doubt for the traditional publishing house, book business transformation to provide standardized online solutions. Yanyan said that the day cat has a scale platform users, and the user attribute distribution is more uniform, plus over the years accumulated E-commerce operating experience and the user's control, data mining and other aspects of the ability to provide the traditional booksellers to scale sales, so as to address the pressure of booksellers.

Although the book sales of shop 1th are just beginning, and the cat's book program is still in the preparatory stage, but has already posed a "threat" to existing manufacturers. At present, the sale of books to provide sales of the website, including Dangdang, Amazon China, Jingdong Mall and so on, including Dangdang and Jingdong Mall also offers E-book sales. Some analysts believe that the Amazon China site was launched earlier this year, the largest book promotional activities, suspected "sniper" new opponents into the field.

invariably focus on books, the "Homogeneity of the" competition seems to be intensifying. But there are people in the industry to read, the phenomenon of the influx of books, but actually reflects the current E-commerce competition has developed to expand the category of the stage, all-inclusive is clearly the future of the electronic business leader of the "standard configuration."

car also "seconds Kill"

group Buy, second kill, Hui election ... These popular words, recently not only appeared in Taobao, Pat, such as large electric platform, but also no longer limited to clothing and hats snacks, mobile computers, but frequently pointed to vertical network platform, pointing to large goods online shopping-hotel can choose, travel can buy, even the house, car can also be killed.

Some experts predict that 2012-year car companies will be around the price big fuss, similar to the car seconds to kill the momentum will not weaken, vertical network platform and the interaction between the platform will be turned into a change.
