New DistributionCommunity Group Buying Is a Good Business, but Why Do Most Distributors Fail at It?
Amid the pandemic, community group buying has once again become a focus of attention. While leading platforms like Xingsheng Youxuan, Shihuituan, and Shixianghui are expanding nationwide, this business model, which originated in 2018, is drawing increasing interest from brands, distributors, and retailers. For distributors, community group buying can be a good business, but most struggle due to a lack of fresh food category management, community operations, and supply chain organization capabilities. However, by partnering with platforms or software service providers, distributors can successfully transition.

New DistributionPassion Collides | Evergreen Group Leads Snacks into the Seafood Era
Recently, the product introduction of Evergreen Group, a seafood giant, has attracted high attention from FMCG peers.

From the distributor's perspective, product selection must consider four dimensions: 1. Whether the category is in a high-growth blue ocean market; 2. Whether product quality and brand strength are robust; 3. Whether the product matrix meets the needs of consumers at all levels; 4. Whether the product has super sell-through potential.

Perhaps the most competitive retail-to-home market in China is not in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, or Hangzhou, but in Fuzhou. On May 6, news of Hema's temporary exit from the Fuzhou market stirred many nerves.

Now, its defeat in Fuzhou is quite lamentable. The former triumphant march has become the beginning of cleaning up the mess.
New DistributionBudweiser APAC's '100 Days of Fighting the Epidemic'
2020 was supposed to be a big year for sports, but with the global spread of the pandemic, the Olympics, the European Championship, and NBA events were postponed or canceled, plunging FMCG industries that rely on offline consumption into a vortex of uncertainty.

Facing the impact, the emergency response of global beer giant Budweiser Group in the Chinese market has provided a reference for teams in other countries deeply affected by the pandemic, and also offers a window to observe the possibilities for industry development.

With sales peaking and external growth constrained, internal cost reduction and efficiency improvement have become key focuses: 800,000 distributors/second-tier wholesalers correspond to 800,000 warehouses and millions of delivery vehicles, which is unreasonable from both commercial and economic perspectives. In recent years, many local governments have also intervened in warehousing and distribution, planning logistics parks and encouraging distributors or entrepreneurs to undertake unified warehousing and distribution (统仓统配) and other intensive, scaled operations...
