麦青MandyDeep Distribution Loses Growth Momentum: How FMCG Brands Plan Growth for the Next Decade
Deep distribution efficiency has failed. With 5.2 million mom-and-pop stores in China, the market is highly fragmented and multi-tiered. The essence of the deep distribution system that supported FMCG growth for decades was mass production, mass communication, and mass distribution, driven by efficiency. However, this model is now failing due to high costs, single-channel coverage, and the rise of new retail. Brands like P&G have seen revenue declines, and the traditional HBG theory (big brand, big media, big channel) is no longer effective. The article discusses the need to restructure distribution models, focusing on digitalization, integrated online-offline supply chains, and organizational changes to adapt to future growth.

袁来Distributors: Several Mental Hurdles Factory Owners Can't Get Over!
Almost everyone is subjective, habitually viewing others from their own perspective, with 'I think' being paramount, and personal values often replacing worldview. Empathy is theoretically possible but practically difficult, and mutual understanding is even more unlikely. This applies to manufacturer-distributor relations: manufacturers don't understand distributors, and vice versa. The root of many conflicts is asymmetric understanding and the belief that one's own view is correct. However, manufacturers often dominate, with factory owners viewing distributors as subordinates needing to follow orders, showing little interest in understanding them. This article outlines several mental hurdles factory owners struggle to overcome, including controlling distributors, insisting on delayed benefits, prioritizing sales growth over cost increases, focusing only on their own product sales, expecting quick distributor recruitment, and believing distributor profits come from the manufacturer.

李康林In the Era of Traffic, How to Build Your Private Domain Traffic?
Private domain traffic, a concept originating from Taobao, refers to traffic that is owned by the business, can be reused, is free, and directly reaches users. Each traffic unit is a user, accumulated on platforms like WeChat official accounts, WeChat groups, personal WeChat accounts, Weibo, Xiaohongshu, Toutiao, and Douyin. In contrast, public domain traffic platforms like Baidu, Taobao, and JD.com require payment for traffic, which is becoming increasingly expensive. Building private domain traffic involves strategies such as diverting traffic from public domains, leveraging KOLs, and utilizing platforms like WeChat, Weibo, Douyin, Kuaishou, Xiaohongshu, and Bilibili, with a focus on providing consumer value and fostering trust.

房晟陶How Can Distributors Build an Internal Employee Entrepreneurship Platform?
Assuming that internal entrepreneurship projects are good, the most critical factor is the people. No matter how favorable the timing and location are, without good people and teams to operate, it won't work. All things in the world are done by people, and people with different abilities and responsibilities achieve different results, so everyone values the human factor in business operations. The concept of internal entrepreneurship platforms has been prevalent in the corporate world in recent years, and we are familiar with successful cases like Wangpin Group's Lion King Plan, Handu Yishe's small group system, and Haier's internal entrepreneurship incubation model, as well as unsuccessful ones like Huawei's 'Harbor Bay' incident.
