This article discusses whether distributors should embrace internet transformation, and invites them to participate in a survey on their attitudes towards internet transformation. In recent years, FMCG B2B has become very hot. JD and Alibaba have entered this industry one after another, and both have loudly announced plans to transform millions of small shops. As shown in the figure: (Figure caption: I wonder what the boss of Hongxing Erguotou would think when seeing this picture) Regardless of whether their "small goal" of a million shops can be achieved, their arrival declares that internet giants have officially set foot in offline entities. Moreover, this industry is like the ice in northern rivers in March: it looks thick but cannot withstand pressure! This industry is already highly competitive, with net profits generally not exceeding 5%. The arrival of internet companies is bound to stir up a bloody storm. Of course, many distributors feel they have offline advantages, and similarly, internet e-commerce companies feel they have online advantages. Who is better? The results can only be determined through market validation. **However, many smart distributors have discovered that the most effective way to avoid being destroyed by the internet is to embrace it, combining online and offline, and undergoing a comprehensive e-commerce transformation.** But for internet transformation, how to transform, and in which direction? If not transforming, what better alternatives exist? Do distributors in different industries and market levels all need to transform? To address these questions and to understand the actual attitudes of distributor friends across the country towards internet transformation, New Distribution sincerely invites all manufacturers and distributors to participate in this survey with us. We hope that through this survey, we can learn about the attitudes of distributors in various regions and industries towards internet transformation. This survey is a reward-based survey.
