< p > "the cost of apparel brand opening online shopping mall is no less than that of opening a physical store, and the return is slow.

Take my own brand as an example, online stores can achieve balance between 2 and 3 years. "

CEO Wang Xiyong, a fashion menswear brand 004, told reporters that the biggest problem facing clothing sales is "inventory". To set up online shopping centers, it is generally designed to set up inventory for them, including manpower, warehousing, logistics and other cost inputs. "Market publicity is also a big part of the sales. This entity store has advantages. After opening a shop, as long as the flow of people is popular, the products are popular, and some people naturally consume, but doing business can only burn money to do propaganda."

< p > in Wang Xiyong's eyes, it is a very difficult thing to succeed in O2O. "Only the winning business network is so cool that it can completely control its physical stores and have a complete brand of e-commerce system to achieve the O2O mode smoothly.

And the domestic clothing brand business entity store structure is too complex, has direct battalion, has joined, regardless of internal departments, or with many external distributors to reach agreement is very difficult. "

Ruan Bai Xin, a researcher at CITIC investment consulting and retail industry, also mentioned that layout O2O needs strong information support and supporting warehousing and logistics, which will increase Giordano's operating costs.

In fact, Hou Tong also noticed this difficulty. He told the new express reporter that Giordano has its own stores and dealers. O2O will pull some consumers to online payment, which is bound to affect the turnover under the line. "Therefore, we will share profits with the distributors in a certain proportion according to the income of online payment. We are establishing a strict membership system to distinguish between which dealers the consumers should belong to."

He admits that O2O is just an extension of the physical shop. The physical shop is not only a platform for display, but also a place to achieve sales. "More convenient ways, including mobile payment, are aimed at increasing the sense of experience and promoting consumption."
