  Personalized customization becomes a trend

  With the upgrading of consumer demand and the continuous maturity of information technology, this year's "Double 11" consumption presents many new characteristics:

  New products and upgraded products are selling well.

Many brands choose to release new products on the eve of "Double 11" and during the shopping festival. For example, Huawei's Mate40 series opened for the first time on October 30, and the first round of products quickly sold out.

On the Tmall platform, more than 2,600 new brands and 1.2 million imported new products participated in "Double 11" for the first time through Tmall International.

Hema Xiansheng has "moved" hot pot online, and the average daily sales of new hot pot bases have doubled one after another, and more than 30 cooperative traditional catering companies and food companies have become popular.

On the JD platform, the turnover of mainstream home appliance brands such as Haier, Midea, Gree, and Huawei all exceeded 100 million yuan per second, and smart home appliances such as floor scrubbers and mini wall breakers were favored.

As of October this year, the number of new registrations for live streaming e-commerce has reached 2,364, surpassing the previous 10 years. The total number of registrations.

According to statistics, JD.com's live broadcast of goods exceeded 100 million yuan in 6 seconds, and the cumulative sales of Suning Tesco's "1110 Super Buyer" live studio exceeded 100 million yuan...

  Personalized customization has become a trend.

What the consumer wants, the enterprise will make it.

This year's "Double 11", JD.com's direct user manufacturing (C2M) model product sales are 1.7 times that of the same period last year, and computer digital products such as gaming notebooks, gaming desktops, and high-definition monitors have become the mainstream of user customization.

  Experts said that more and more businesses are accelerating digitalization during the process of participating in "Double 11", continuously improving user consumption experience, and providing stronger momentum for the continued improvement of the consumer market.

  Offline consumption is also popular

  After years of online and offline integration and development, this year's "Double 11" offline consumption is also booming.

  The recovery of offline consumption is strong.

JD.com launched the "All-channel Wandian Carnival", and nearly 1 million stores covered by it participated in the "Double 11" sales.

Suning Tesco's tens of billions of subsidies first went offline, achieving coverage in communities, counties, towns, and business districts.

Suning Carrefour’s home-to-home service orders increased by 420% year-on-year, and the “one-hour delivery” timely fulfillment rate was 99%; the sales of 7,000 Suning County’s township stores on the day of “Double 11” increased by 150%.

Tmall used 3D technology to build a 100-story "Tmall 3D Home Improvement City", and 1,200 home improvement merchants built nearly 80,000 sets of 1:1 home improvement 3D model rooms.

Consumers can experience real-life shopping at home, click on the phone screen to choose their favorite home improvement products, and can also match products independently and shop with one click.

  The icing on the cake is that during the "Double 11" period, many local governments and e-commerce platforms issued targeted consumer coupons to promote the development of offline industries through online consumption.

Cui Lili, an e-commerce expert at Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, believes that online sales will promote existing purchase intentions or relatively clear consumer demand. To stimulate larger-scale consumption, it will inevitably require the introduction of offline experience and scenarios, and there will be no clear purchase intention. The potential demand is transformed into real consumption.
