New DistributionEmerging Brands 'Take Up New Weapons' to Break into the Offline Market
In recent years, emerging brands have been rising rapidly, with capital support, evolving demand, and category innovation making new consumption a hot topic in the industry. For most emerging brands that started online, as the online traffic dividend fades and acquisition costs rise, while online category capacity hits its ceiling, they are compelled to consider going offline, as offline still accounts for over 70% of the FMCG market.

品饮汇在线Replacing MSG and Salt: Songxianxian, the Pioneer of Matsutake Seasoning
Seasoning is a high-frequency and essential track that has attracted much attention, drawing in new players and leading brands from other sectors. In early August, four brands entered the seasoning industry within just five days, including meat product giants like Shuanghui and Longda. As the economy develops, consumers' living standards improve, and basic seasonings like soy sauce, salt, and vinegar no longer meet their needs. The sudden outbreak of the pandemic in 2020 has also heightened consumers' health awareness, making product healthification a major trend for new consumer brands.
吴珊珊How Can New Consumer Brands Survive the Winter?
In August, the number of consumer investment projects began to decline, down 17% month-on-month from July, as institutions became more cautious. With traffic peaking and customer acquisition costs rising, the online environment is no longer fertile ground for new consumer brands that have grown wildly. Winter is coming, and more brands are becoming "traffic workers." For example, Perfect Diary once listed its core competitiveness in its prospectus as leveraging public-domain influencer content marketing to acquire users, then funneling them into WeChat private traffic pools, and using high-frequency community maintenance to boost repurchase rates. However, this traffic playbook has quickly become a required course in the FMCG industry, with tactics being copied rapidly and KOL and traffic prices soaring. High traffic costs mean that while influencers and platforms profit, brands lose money just to gain attention—a dilemma not unique to Perfect Diary.

赵虹宇How Was a Super Distributor Selling 18 Million Cases of Beer Annually Built?
In the world's most dynamic Chinese FMCG market, distributors are the most dynamic group. According to industrial and commercial statistics, there are over 700,000 FMCG distributors active today, but most are scattered, chaotic, and small. There are not many billion-yuan distributors, and super distributors with a scale of one billion yuan are even rarer. The ceiling for traditional distributors is obvious. On one hand, distributors' own capabilities are limited, with bottlenecks in market and team management; on the other hand, brand owners have long been dominated by flattening thinking. These are the limitations and obstacles to distributors growing bigger and stronger...
