Because of the Robbery Mentality, Some B2B E-commerce Platforms Are Defeated Before They Even Start

B2B e-commerce only emerged in 2015, yet by 2016 some platforms had already failed. The more aggressive they were, the faster they failed, and bad news keeps coming. From their actions, their failure is unsurprising. If the logic is wrong, defeat is inevitable. The root cause is the robbery mentality. There are two main forms of robbery: cross-regional channel stuffing with low-price promotions, and coercing distributors or allying with some to rob others. Such actions either provoke resistance from local distributors or lead to rapid collapse due to excessive spending. B2B platforms should change their approach before it's too late.

Yantai Yishang Model: Logistics is the Foundation for Transitioning to B2B E-commerce

Just like the development of C-end e-commerce, the evolution of B-end e-commerce also takes time. In this process, Yantai Yishang, a distribution e-commerce platform in Yantai City, Shandong Province, has firmly seized the emerging e-commerce opportunities and provided a good model and platform for a new round of distributor transformation. From logistics to platform, the two complement each other. Yantai Yishang Logistics is the largest modern warehousing and logistics platform in Yantai and also the largest B2B e-commerce platform locally. In simple terms, retail stores place orders for goods from various distributors on Yantai Yishang's online platform, and Yantai Yishang can quickly deliver the goods from various distributors to the stores in a unified manner.
