First Retailers Focusing on 'Clean Ingredients' Have Already Reaped Rewards
In October last year, Sam's Club's 'One Little Tangerine' snack went viral and sold out immediately upon launch. 'Dole sold it for years without much traction, but Sam's sold it and it exploded,' an industry insider told the author. What exactly did Sam's do to 'One Little Tangerine'? Besides improving cost-effectiveness, Sam's 'radically revamped' the snack's ingredients, removing excessive food additives and flavorings, and reducing sugar by 30%. In the end, the ingredients were only mandarin oranges, white sugar, and citric acid, and the shelf life was shortened from 12 months to 5 months. Even the packaging proudly states: sodium benzoate 0%, potassium sorbate 0%, lemon yellow 0%, sunset yellow 0%, and flavoring 0%. The combination of high cost-effectiveness and clean ingredients made this snack break out and go viral.

Softcare's main business is baby diapers, baby pull-up pants, sanitary napkins, and wet wipes, with brands including Softcare, Veesper, Maya, Cuettie, and Clincleer.

A one-year growth of 20 billion yuan for a giant brand is unprecedented in China's FMCG history, possibly a peak that will never be surpassed.
方刚Retail Stores Are Severely Oversupplied, but Competing on Low Prices Is a Misconception
Retail stores are severely oversupplied, but competing on low prices is a misconception! This is a conclusion drawn from my in-depth exchange with Mr. Zhang Zhiqiang. Who is Zhang Zhiqiang? He is known as "China's No.1 in Category Management," and the book "Category Management," published in February 2024, was written by him and Dr. Brian Harris, the "Father of Category Management," specifically for the Chinese market. On the last day of 2024, I visited Mr. Zhang in his Beijing office, and we talked for nearly three hours. Much of what he said inspired me deeply, such as: "Existing consumption is insufficient to support so many retail stores; a large portion will be eliminated."
任文青AndyBlossoms, The Rose, Joyful People, Talk Show...: The Essential Laws and Methods of Brand Building Seen Through the Year's Hit IPs
I have always believed that all brand building and marketing practices must ultimately return to consumer needs and decision-making patterns. Changes in the consumer behavior chain are the root of changes in brand marketing. The behavior chain in the traditional era is called AIDMA, the most classic behavior model proposed by American advertising scholar E.S. Lewis in 1898 and written into major communication textbooks. AIDMA includes Attention, Interest, Desire, Memory, and Action.

Customer needs are essentially the troubles users face. The article from the official account 'Liang Jiangjun' raises a question: if you were a furniture manufacturer wanting to develop a wardrobe, how would you do it? You might consult reports and surveys, and big data might tell you trends like Morandi colors or new Chinese style, but the data won't tell you the troubles your users are currently facing.
赵波Coca-Cola is the Originator of Scene Marketing
Coca-Cola's success is attributed to its scene-based marketing, as exemplified by the OBPPC theory and the 'popcorn and Coke' phenomenon in cinemas. The article argues that scene marketing, which focuses on occasion-based solutions, is more effective than simple user orientation.

New DistributionThe More the Market Involution, the More Brands Need to Unite Social Forces
On April 29, 1956, Chairman Mao emphasized 'uniting all forces that can be united' during a meeting with representatives of communist parties from several Latin American countries. This principle applies equally to the FMCG industry: in an era of involution, strengthening channel competitiveness requires uniting all possible forces, yet many brands overlook this or only adopt 'metaphysical' strategies without concrete tactical guidance.
高级研究员 海游Has Moutai Failed to Win Over Young Consumers?
At the shareholders' meeting of Kweichow Moutai eight months ago, Zhang Deqin, attending as chairman for the first time, stated that if certain innovations in the market were not suitable for Moutai, the company would stop pursuing them. At that time, there were no reports of the sauce-flavored latte being discontinued or Moutai ice cream stores closing. These products, along with i-Moutai, were key tools in the youth-oriented strategy under Ding Xiongjun's leadership. However, with a change in leadership, Moutai's youth strategy appears to be shifting.
杨伟China's Condiment Industry's New Chapter of Going Global: Starting with 'Soy Sauce Maotai' H-Share Listing?
At the end of 2024, several A-share listed companies initiated Hong Kong listings, sparking an 'A+H' trend. Foshan Haitian Flavouring and Food Company (Haitian Flavoring) was among the most active, disclosing plans to issue H-shares in December 2024 and submitting an application to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange a month later. Under new leadership, Haitian is undergoing top-down changes, aiming to compete with global giants while maintaining its domestic leadership. Its Hong Kong listing prospectus clearly outlines a 'localized operation' strategy for overseas expansion, raising questions about whether it can break the traditional reliance on overseas Chinese communities.
让消费更纯粹的Why 9.9 Yuan Is a Universal Hit in Retail
In 2024, German discount supermarket pioneer ALDI went viral with its 9.9-yuan low-price series, while Miniso, which invested in Yonghui, and Pinduoduo, once surpassing Alibaba in market value, have also leveraged this price point. The number 9.9, an ordinary decimal, holds extraordinary appeal in retail due to psychological pricing strategies like the left-digit effect and odd-even pricing, making it a powerful tool for attracting customers and driving sales.

冯瑶Competition among FMCG manufacturers is fundamentally a contest of frontline marketing team capabilities
The competitiveness of an enterprise is often a competition of talent: good strategy plus high-capability talent leads to rapid growth; good strategy plus low-capability talent leads to compromise and failure; bad strategy plus high-capability talent can correct course; bad strategy plus low-capability talent results in a struggle for survival. For FMCG, building a high-capability marketing talent team is not just the responsibility of HR, but a matter for every marketing unit to consider deeply. So what does a high-capability marketing talent team include?
