Yunnan dealer features

 

One side of the water and soil, Yunnan due to the unique terrain, the characteristics of Yunnan dealers are different from other places. If you want to open up business in Yunnan, you must follow the customs and know some commonalities of Yunnan dealers.

Yunnan dealers lived in the extremely difficult environment of the Yunnan Plateau, and they developed the quality of hardworking, simple, and frugal, and the charity was peaceful and peaceful. This kind of temperament is manifested in the dealers in Yunnan, which is reflected in the fact that making money does not compete for big fortune, not asking for the news, willing to be flat. In Yunnan, you can't see signs in the store that are “big sale”, “big bleeding”, “big sale”, “jumping price”, etc. They don’t do this kind of advertising that deceives customers, but honesty. Buying and selling, earning is to understand the money. Therefore, when doing business with a Yunnan distributor, the price must be true and treat each other with integrity.

Yunnan dealers don't play tricks, they don't like the kind of people who "see people talk, talk about ghosts," and they don't have the kind of cleverness. In their minds, if you lied to your friends, you lost a friend; you lied to your relatives, and then you will have no face to enter the door of others.

The people of all ethnic groups in Yunnan have a good style of hospitality. Therefore, the hospitality of Yunnan dealers is also very enthusiastic, and they rarely bargain with the guns. It’s easy to do business with them, just as enjoyable as being at their home.

Yunnan dealers are particularly hard-working, and dealers are adhering to the traditions of their ancestors. In order to find products, the prefecture-level dealers took the train for more than ten hours to come to Kunming to participate in the China Merchants Express Train. After getting off the bus, they did not quit their journey and searched for supplies, or negotiated. In view of the characteristics that Yunnan dealers can endure, they must respect their labor when doing business with them, and cooperate with them in good faith to achieve mutual benefit.

Yunnan dealers like to be free, not to pursue the perfection of life, and to be sloppy in character. When they are reluctant to do something, it is difficult for you to use a few horses to pull him. This stubborn temper is shared by many Yunnan businessmen. Therefore, it is difficult for strong people in front of Yunnan dealers to cause resentment and even get angry. Therefore, instead of having no results, it is better to respect them and do business well.

Yunnan dealers generally have low requirements for quality of life and are easily satisfied. They are small and safe, and small rich is happy. They generally do not pursue wealth and do not like to think about how to make money and make a fortune. Baoping is not the first principle of many dealers. It is the criterion for them to do business without taking risks and making money. In response to the characteristics of Yunnan merchants, they can take some measures when doing business with them. Give them some profit, they will taste the sweetness, they will be happy to deal with you, so that they feel that this business can still be done. However, when cooperating, it is necessary to guard against the fact that they are no longer aggressive.

Overview of the provincial capital Kunming daily market

In the eyes of outsiders, this place in Yunnan is really strange. From the folk songs of Yunnan Eighteen, you can see a glimpse. In Kunming, the provincial capital, the reporter also feels that this Yunnan market is a bit strange, that is, there are very few supermarkets. From the road head of Beijing Road to the end of the road, you can see a small-scale self-selected shopping mall near the train station, and the entire youth road, there is no one in the size of the supermarket, even the daily specialty stores are very rare.

A long way, the reporter saw two beauty salons. When I walked into a store, there were two rows of shelves in Nuoda’s store. There were quite a few products on the shelves. However, these products are very Have their own characteristics, most products are packed in large bottles, and 90% of the packaging is in English, Korean, and Japanese. When the reporter asked about the origin of these products, the owner said that it is generally Guangdong. That is to say, all are domestically produced foreign goods. Individually branded Chinese brands are generally rare cards that have rarely been seen.

Listening to taxi drivers and some local residents said that there are two or three international KA stores in Kunming, such as Wal-Mart, Carrefour, and Good , and there are very few local supermarkets, especially the strong supermarket chains. Finally, the reporter found a supermarket that is not very large in size. There are not many daily chemical products. The washing powder is Tide, Libai, carved, white cat, and mysterious. Shampoo is dominated by Longliqi and Pan Ting. Others include Bawang, Shulei, Lucy (Guangzhou Jiayin) and other small brands, while toothpaste, there are many categories, Crest, Yu Mu, cold sour spirit, double needle, Colgate, etc., prices range from high to low However, the local high-priced toothpaste Yunnan Baiyao did not see it. This is exactly the phrase in the 18-year-old Yunnan. "The cigarette is not easy to sell," meaning that Yunnan produced a good product, but it is local. I can rarely buy it.

However, supermarkets are rare, and department stores are quite a lot. Walking on the street, you can see the department stores everywhere. Moreover, the oversized billboards outside the department stores are mainly cosmetics. It can be seen that the local high-end cosmetics are relatively strong. Into the counter on the first floor of Parkson Building, there are more than 20 products, of course, mainly foreign products, such as Maybelline, Olay, L'Oreal, Lancome, Opal, etc., but there are also some domestic strong makeup and skin care brands, such as Kazi Lan, Zheng Mingming, and so on.

Kunming does not have a professional daily wholesale market. Unlike Guangzhou, there are five generations in Shenyang, five in love in Shenyang, and three in Shijiazhuang. Kunming's daily chemical wholesale store concentrates on a certain part of the Yunfang commercial district. There are about 80 daily chemical shops in it. The scale is not large. They are mostly wholesale and retail, serving the whole Yunnan province and neighboring Sichuan. , some prefecture-level cities in Guizhou. This daily wholesale market has the same products as other cities. They are more terminal products, such as Lafang, Piaoying, Celebrities, Tianshun, Haodi, Bright Makeup, Kangwang and other circulation brands. In doing, but not strong, big brand products are not dominant here, such as Procter & Gamble, Sibao, Unilever, Longliqi, Shanghai Jahwa and many other large enterprise products, not many here, but some The second and third line of end products are very active here, such as Bi Finland's skin care products, 黛妃, Mengzhuang, zero makeup and so on.

In general, the daily chemical market in Kunming is not very active. On the contrary, the daily chemical products in the states, cities and counties below Yunnan are more active.

Second- and third-tier cities daily market research

For special reasons, the questionnaires for the daily chemical market in Yunnan's second- and third-tier cities include Liupanshui, Anshun, Xingyi, and Panzhihua and Xichang in Sichuan, in addition to the cities and counties under the Yunnan. In this questionnaire, county-level dealers accounted for 57% , prefecture-level dealers accounted for 35% , and townships and villages accounted for 8% . Among them, 15% for supermarkets, and supermarket retailers accounted for 15% . 27% , wholesale and retail accounted for 47% , in Yunnan, many dealers are doing wholesale and retail together.

In the investigation, it was learned that Yunnan's daily chemical dealers did not do much, and this may be related to the mentality of the small distributors in Yunnan. In the surveyed dealers, monthly sales of Japanese products in the proportion of 1-5 million for accounting for the highest number, 52%, followed by 5-20 million and million or less accounted for 18%, while per The proportion of more than 500,000 in the month only accounts for 11% . It is worth mentioning that many of the big dealers that are doing are not local businessmen, but Zhejiang and Chaoshan are more entrepreneurs in Yunnan.

In the past year, more than half of the dealers said that sales were basically the same as the previous year, and 35% of dealers said that sales have increased in the past year, and 9% of dealers believe that their sales have declined in the past year. According to dealers, the main factor affecting sales performance is too much competition, followed by product reasons, business reasons and management reasons. Therefore, 55% of Yunnan dealers said that the new year is only willing to increase investment slightly, slightly increase products, and 26% only want to maintain the scale of operations in the past.

The proportion of sales of skin care products accounted for 19% , and the proportion of makeup and shower gels was 2% and 1% respectively . Therefore, it can be seen that in the second and third tier cities of Yunnan, makeup and shower gel are not very strong at present.
