The 105th National Sugar and Wine Commodity Fair officially opened in Tianjin on October 19, 2021, and Zhoupu Data, dedicated to providing data intelligence services for the FMCG industry, participated once again. The "Magic" of Online Traffic Fails, Highlighting the Critical Role of Offline Channels The traffic playbook, once listed as a core competitiveness by new consumer brands, involving millions of bloggers across online channels such as Xiaohongshu, Douyin, live-streaming rooms, and Bilibili to seed and drive sales, is being continuously replicated. As more entrants join and market competition intensifies, this originally effective traffic strategy has become increasingly mediocre and inefficient due to imitation by more brands. According to statistics, online channels account for only 20% of total social consumption. However, as traffic becomes increasingly expensive and online competition among brands intensifies, online channels no longer possess the "growth hacking" magic they once had. Both traditional and emerging brands are paying increasing attention to offline channels. The record-breaking scale of this autumn sugar fair is the best example, with over 3,500 exhibitors from across the country gathering together to seek better offline market expansion opportunities. High Replacement Rate and High Trial-and-Error Costs: Emerging Brands Need to Seize the Golden Time Window for Offline Market Expansion Media outlets such as The Economist have pointed out that while new consumer brands and new products are being launched at an accelerated pace, the elimination rate for consumer goods startups is as high as 74%. In such intense survival competition, new consumer brands must seize the development window period and rapidly expand into the offline market, which accounts for over 70% of total FMCG retail sales. It can be seen that this autumn sugar fair will welcome numerous new consumer brands seeking cooperation with more offline channel distributors and terminal stores, laying the foundation for brands to achieve growth from 1 to 10 and sustain long-term development. However, for new consumer brands that lack an offline channel foundation or have insufficient digitalization of their offline channels, utilizing traditional offline channel expansion models requires significant time and financial investment: On one hand, lacking comprehensive knowledge of the offline market, they can only make regional investments "in the dark." On the other hand, without scientific evaluation of channel partners, they can only conduct extensive nationwide recruitment first and then gradually screen. Moreover, the development window for new consumer brands is relatively short, leaving almost no room for trial and error. Accurately gaining market insights in a short time and rapidly expanding offline channels have become key to achieving long-term sustainable growth for new consumer brands.
