Seek potential change of thinking Direct selling enterprises O2O broken bureau Connections.

 

CNDSN January 5th news [] (DSC net) the first network to the General Assembly on 2009, Ma Yun boldly predicted: "the next five years, no electronic commerce!" Then, the laughter can be heard without end.

Now, five years past, electronic commerce and its derivatives "O2O" grades have been without them, everybody be obvious to people.

However, in the direct selling this is different from the traditional marketing model, "O" not "O"? This, is a problem. If "O", "O" how? This, it is a problem.

As a communication from person to person "face to face" as the characteristics of the marketing mode, appears to contradict the line and electronic commerce. However, smart marketers will always adapt to the changes of the times, not only find "...... Again......" Method.

They use the line speed, the audience is wide publicity, promotion effect, not only to expand the product, brand influence, make "O" for "face to face" service, realize the online conversion to the line, also in the invisible cost savings, and become a booster enterprise industry chain development, it yijuduode.

Today, we see the industry pioneer, has tasted the sweetness of "O" brings, when the consumer party as the leading 2 era, change is no longer a yes or no questions, but become a multiple-choice questions, "O" not "O"? And direct enterprises to choose......

O2O, let the brand influence to win at the finish line

Under the environment of market economy, how to enhance the brand influence is the constant pursuit of enterprise. And on the Internet, electronic commerce times be a trend which cannot be halted, how to use the brand expansion of power, has become a major issue facing enterprises. O2O, this new business model, what can bring surprises for the enterprise, people have to wait. There is no doubt, to fight this battle, behind even at the starting line, but might not be the last laugh.

To create the "experience economy", boosting the brand expansion

"Golden cup silver cup as the reputation of the consumers", which is applicable to any product or service, the best laws. But in the era of Internet, information spread very rapidly, any general interest information like into the lake stones, immediately on the Internet this medium ripple, word-of-mouth effect of Internet make consumers from the individual into a polymer, potentially driving effect. With the development of the Internet, the use of the Internet to shape the brand influence, will represent the general trend, priority among priorities is the future of enterprise strategy.

Twenty-first Century is a supreme quality of the times, the material conditions of the rich makes consumption more attention is paid to the service and quality, in other words, experience. When people go to Starbucks drink Coffee, 30 yuan are buying more dining environment, all wooden seats and relaxed atmosphere, this is the user experience. No doubt, this experience is first established in the brand influence on the. So, how to attract the consumer experience and pay for them, it is enterprise or business the key.

Core O2O patterns is to consumers in actual shop, online payment for goods, and then to the offline entity shop to enjoy the service. O2O combines the business channel of low cost communication advantages, but also combines the advantages of traditional channel service and experience, to cater to the needs of users, with the minimum cost to build brand.

40 years ago, after the world famous Futurist Alvin Toffler had predicted the manufacturing industry, service industry, the experience of industry will be the direction of industrial upgrading. 10 years ago, this prophecy is beginning to become a reality in the world. Alipay wireless career department person in charge Liu Lejun had analysis, in the O2O era, the cost is no longer the key to victory, users, customers, is to become the biggest driving force of the whole industrial innovation. The nature of O2O is actually the "experience economy". So, why can this kind of "experience economy" to promote enterprise or business brand awareness, so as to realize the influence of brand building?

First, O2O helped to strengthen the network brand promotion. Enterprises to conduct e-commerce, the first to realize that "brand of e-commerce", especially for new products promotion, more prominent effect O2O. Consumers with the information on the network propaganda expectations, conversion of the field investigation and experience for the online, this is undoubtedly a grain of reassurance to consumers. The green group in 2013 launched the "city network", the first line is to launch two major business segment: every group purchase, Tiancheng shopping mall. Customer experience through group purchase mode, effectively enhance the brand awareness.

Second, create a promotion effect by O2O. For O2O, because it is the first place an order and then to enter the shop, so it is easy to judge good or bad effect of online promotion. Therefore, to obtain accurate feedback effect through the O2O mode can, compared with the general goal of advertising, the pertinence is quite strong way to expand the brand market is be of great advantage. As the new top in an interview with Sohu Finance and economics mentions, O2O pathway is very good, the people of human services, so that consumers understand the products to buy the products, alone, is the dissemination of advertising and traditional channels are unable to achieve the effect of.

Third, O2O can create a good line experience. O2O mode, line by line offers service can. In turn, offline experience also causes the business awareness in the minds of consumers can be improved, so as to enhance the brand influence, to bring the "word of mouth effect". Enron nano through beauty group launched sweat stream Museum, at an affordable price and high quality services to attract the majority of consumer groups.

Amway type O2O, to direct the icing on the cake

It seems that many in the industry enterprises, the direct selling industry competition is more personnel competition, is the product of competition in the industry, they can in order to network 2%- 5% of the market, destroy their own online 95% of the market. Indeed, the fundamental is direct distributor. But at the same time, the direct selling industry is also faced with the Internet technology change test, can't keep up with the pace of progress, must be eliminated by the market, which is why many enterprises began to test the water direct cause of O2O.

Direct marketing in the final analysis is the word-of-mouth communication. Experience model of human nature and other advantages and O2O product experience, service line have different approaches but equally satisfactory results of the wonderful. Therefore, the direct connected in series with the O2O model, through the line of product display, on-site experience, to the most intuitive consumer perceived quality, promote consumer all-round understanding of products, and reliance on product, produce the recognition of the brand. While the online e-commerce technologies mature application, but also can enhance consumer purchase behavior when a synchronization user experience. Thus, product reputation to a virtuous circle, brand influence can be promoted, the dealer is also like helps.

In fact, many direct sales enterprises have already seen these trends, and began to test O2O model. And Amway with its large dealer team, and create a unique O2O patterns from line to line.

First of all, Amway currently has a perfect operation system on line, including the website of business of mobile phone, APP management software, independent marketing personnel training and management of website, such as Amway easy networking (PC marketing personnel end business platform), Amway business trip (marketing personnel handheld business platform, Amway education network (online training platform marketing personnel) etc.; at the same time Amway (Chinese) has 9 official Micro message account and 7 official micro-blog account into the product promotion and sales promotion activity. In the direct sales, direct sales personnel itself is a consumer, to build these platforms makes between Amway maintained a close connection with the customer, make customer timely informed of the enterprise information. Thus, multi platform propaganda makes the brand influence to expansion, the smooth flow of information also allows dealers to better develop the market, can shoot two hawks with one arrow.

Secondly, the store has a complete system of Amway line. Amway in Chinese set up 290 straight camp shop, finished the line display, service system; at the same time, among the center of large experience in Shenzhen is building this model will become the future; store service system Amway in Chinese line template. Amway O2O model system to store large operation condition, at the same time, the O2O mode of operation has pushed its floor shop and grow, as more and more experience center will be built is the best witness. The store experience is the customer know Amway products and services window, more people can through this window is added to the direct marketing, thus strengthening Amway direct sales team.

Third, a large team of marketing personnel is the guarantee. At present Amway has more than three hundred thousand active marketing personnel, all over the country 31 provinces. The marketing personnel as sales personnel also as consumers, can not only through personal experience to enhance the experience store identity, but also on their sales work provides powerful strength backing.

Traditional enterprise business most followed three paths -- Open website shopping channel, opened a flagship store in the online shopping platform, or to the dealer to do. And Amway is another way, the dealers are grafted on the direct sales model, is a kind of from line to line O2O. At the same time, Amway electric business channel is only for the efficient operation of the marketing staff to create the condition, to keep it competitive in the present, and to develop new client is still by the marketing personnel through the line to achieve. That is to say, Amway O2O mode is more as an effective tool to assist development of direct selling, it does not conflict with the interests of dealers, the core status of direct marketing still can not shake. Direct selling enterprises to enter this new blue ocean, it is the first to clear.

Direct selling is itself a kind of interpersonal network marketing, which have great similarity with the O2O mode of operation, which is the reason why O2O can engraft in direct cause of this tree. But this does not change the essence of grafting, the ultimate goal is still to promote the development of direct marketing. Amway was able to apply O2O to be just perfect, the reason is that the relationship between the right to handle both: by means of O2O mode lets Amway brand to spread more widely, which is the direct cause of do what little one can to help.

"Up and down" cost is king of butt

"The Internet is a new business opportunity, every new opportunity comes, will build a batch of moneybags." -- Li Jiacheng

With the O2O mode is increasingly mature, the Nuggets bugle call is sounded, the connection mode -- O2O bridge line and the line of electric business, will become the next gold mine.

In the new battleground in this field in the feudal lords vying for the throne, direct selling enterprises are also in the race, the current commodity market competition is increasingly intense, channel has become the key to victory, with the line connected way, to bring customers the benefits of high quality products and services at the same time, can effectively reduce the cost of enterprise, realize the maximization of enterprise value.

"", "" Qi

The first "O", that is, line (online). The direct selling industry into 2 is the requirement of the times development, online shopping is convenient, quick, is an important way for mass consumption. O2O model of online marketing enterprises can be reduced to the entity depends on lots of gold Wangpu line, greatly reduce the rent expenditure.

O2O will make the Internet as the entity shop front, the Internet is a good solution to the merchants and consumers both the exchange of information asymmetric weakness, which can reduce the communication cost and the transaction cost of enterprises. Direct selling enterprises sansei enjoy network, is the Agel Ecommerce Ltd Ningbo Sansheng development Sansheng company under the line, is committed to creating a healthy family life a one-stop shopping platform, construction of Sansheng "triple play" new business marketing mode. Enjoy net mall with professional brand seller cooperation, provide a full range of "meet the needs of clothing, food, live, row" healthy family life commodity for the tertiary distributors and consumers. To offer an exclusive consumer rebate and promotion of income through this platform can for tertiary marketing partners, to create more value. Because effective online booking form, dealers have more convenient collection channels, more conducive to improving the efficiency of business. Enjoy the Internet, Sansheng marketing personnel in addition to the enjoyment of high quality and low price goods, through the online information analysis, can obtain more substantial income in the commodity promotion. Customer information to enable enterprises to get rid of the intermediate channel complex link and dependence on traditional marketing module type marketing organization, realize the individualized consideration, greatly reduce the marketing cost.

Modern people enjoy more and more diverse ways, but the consumption process and facilitate the pursuit of high-grade. The museum experience in Amway, beauty beauty, to consumers can through online reservation form and friends experience artistry function area together, enjoy the artistry laboratories are currently the industry's most advanced FACESII smart and professional skin test instrument. By appointment, consumers can avoid the waiting queue overcrowding, improve consumer satisfaction; on the other hand, make an appointment for a merchant means more income and profits, appointment, business income is more, also can arrange reasonable consumption in order according to the booking situation, save operating cost.

The second "O" line (Offline), "down butt" beneficiaries is not just enterprise, line under the real experience can effectively save the cost of consumers.

The direct selling industry field five major product categories include health food, cosmetics, cleaning supplies, health care equipment and small appliances, these categories of products can be packing transport, seems to only simple B2C business model, will be able to complete the purchase behavior of consumers, product logistics can be directly sent to the hands of consumers, but to express itself is unable to deliver its experience the thrill and sense of reality. But through the O2O mode, with line entity shop experience, the next line of personal experience can greatly enhance consumer confidence in the brand, said to eat health products in the stomach, in the face of cosmetics, if the lack of effective real experience, consumers generally difficult for network products generate trust, confidence also buy will be slightly less.

Direct selling enterprises Amway, has now transformed into direct sales model of authentic, the fighting capacity of direct sales team is becoming more and more powerful, but also built a number of line direct stores, and the use of offline social is also very full. Amway set up to set up 290 straight camp shop -- initially completed line display, service system in China; at the same time, among the center of large experience in Shenzhen is under construction; the future, this model will be Amway store service system in China line template. In Amway museum experience, customers can through the cover closed WiFi online shopping, entity order area can also set up through the tube in place an order at the counter, feeling experience museum staff professional, high quality, attentive service. Enjoy the network general merchandise group purchase activity is O2O typical example, through the company concentrated negotiations merchants and Lianhui cooperation way to introduce professional sellers, sales are concentrated in a limited time, can provide the best quality, cost-effective for consumers, service guarantee discount merchandise.

"Shang", "Xia" integration

The key of O2O model is how to on line and off line the effective integration of resources, the final effect of resource integration will also reduce the cost of.

The O2O model can integrate the information flow line, line, let the product information unification of two platforms, experience and network platform of online consumer on the uniformity of information, the realization of online offline goods, can reduce the line customers into online customers difficulty. Amway launched in August this year, the Cyberport APP portal APP, is a one-stop personalized, there are more than 30 function modules can be custom heart, help customer marketing personnel management science. Said McKinsey's law, the development of a new customer costs is 3-10 times to retain an old customer. To new customers to sell products success rate is 15%, and to the old customers to sell products success rate is 50%. On the integration of information flows is more conducive to business "guest mood maintenance", more conducive to businesses to maintain old customers, integration of the various channels of customer resources.

On the other hand, place an order online, offline pick-up mode can save the business logistics costs. Through the unified code, unified procurement, unified storage, unified logistics, inventory to sales of unified management of the line, to minimize the storage cost and logistics cost, if coupled with a physical store delivery, in the whole process and reduce manpower cost. In wine chairman Lai Jinyu said, O2O compared with B2C, can save 10% of the cost of. Lai Jinyu said: "the express every single piece requires 20 to 30 yuan, O2O is the nearest shop to send, may cost is 5 yuan, but also reduce the cost of two packaging waste, because the courier to two packaging, this lower cost O2O."

And through the company headquarters unified settlement unified procurement can to strictly monitor the online and offline system, financial, tax risk more easily evade; internal distribution through the unified management more easily, can make the whole operation process of financial supervision more in place. For direct selling enterprises, through a unified standardized information, standardized processes and can be copied, once the standard complete, means that the whole system is mature, the enterprise entered a period of rapid growth, each process of the system are available through standard quantification, and then copy, realizing sustainable development.

The personage inside course of study thinks, in the process of O2O system construction, the biggest cost, is the human cost. Compared with the marketing team building, maintaining, operating costs, other costs are extremely small; but, once built a mature, stable marketing team, advertising, public relations, logistics, warehousing and other costs will decrease rapidly. The O2O mode in the team building of direct selling enterprises as long as the organization structure is reasonable, able to match each system personnel responsibilities, can create a greater value for the enterprise. Because the team O2O system must be established, based on the mode set up rather than around a person to build up. According to the data of individual, team to complete the task of supervision is in place, can make each system of a clear division of labor, a clear business processes, perform their respective duties, sales, warehousing, logistics, procurement, the entity shop from proprietary or outsourcing are relatively clear, can the team is to fight in coordination.

Electronic commerce has experienced more than 10 years, the new marketing pattern should be times, a road running in O2O mode, direct selling enterprises is very long, but as long as the courage to jump into the river to touch the rock, it is likely to become the industry leader.

The line neck and neck, leveraging the value chain to supply chain

The so-called supply chain, is the interface between the finger connection or business before the goods arrive in the hands of consumers of all stakeholders, is around the core enterprise, through the control of information flow, logistics, capital flow, starting from the purchase of raw materials, intermediate products and final products to the chain network structure, and finally by the sales network products to a the whole function of the hands of the consumer. In the electronic commerce O2O mode, supply chain plays a particularly important role, and in turn, O2O is also the enterprise integration and optimization of supply chain mode. Therefore, O2O and supply chain is complementary, indivisible.

To break O2O, supply chain is the key

Supply chain integration of modern management is not a strange noun. After the initial wave of e-commerce, many enterprises have realized the application of Internet not only material distribution and the structure of procurement, supply chain management not only pay attention to material from the producers of raw materials to manufacturers flow process and finally to flow to the end user. The objectives of supply chain management is to create value, the value maximization.

The current complex business environment, enterprises are facing more and more challenges. For example, the rapid change of the market; customer is hard to predict the demand for products and services and personalized needs; customer not only concerned about the product, pay more attention to experience and so on. These challenges make the supply chain management has become the important tools and management of competitive strategy. So, successful supply chain management should be how to do? "European Business Forum" magazine published an article "supply chain" and points out that the battle, successful supply chain management requires integration in two aspects: one is the information integration, to ensure that the information on the parties in the supply chain smooth exchange; two is the organization integration the parties in the supply chain, toward a common goal. The integration of information to be able to transmit information in a timely manner, and collect the information of supply chain parties. Organizations to integrate enterprise operation of each link of seamless docking. Successful supply chain management to coordinate and integrate all activities in the supply chain, eventually becoming the integration process of seamless connection.

In view of the above analysis of supply chain, resource integration, remarkable importance of supply chain optimization. But in the rapid development of electronic commerce today, offline to online transfer speed more and more quickly, but the line under the resource is still heavy head, so a lot of resources below the line entity will need to think about how to integrate into the trend of Internet, and businesses need to consider more consumer groups at the same time, there are two different consumption habits. In short, businesses need to combine online and offline resources, build a complete supply chain. O2O natural is the intermediate mode. It is worth noting that although O2O is able to integrate the resources, optimize the supply chain effect, but O2O to get online and offline channels, more need a complete supply chain as a strong support.

In building the supply chain, Kangmei pharmaceutical industry is very influential. The money spent to build the whole industry chain, the upstream line from 5 Chinese herbal medicine origin, 5 pieces of Chinese medicine production base, to the middle of trade logistics in Hong Kong, Chinese herbal medicine market, and then to the downstream sales terminals for the whole industry chain coverage; Kang beauty line constructed in bulk medicines, health management and information exchange service, three e-commerce platform, truly realize the integration and application of large data of traditional Chinese medicine. At present, the industrial chain integration Kangmei pharmaceutical industry "Chinese herbal medicine Chinese herbal medicine - - hospital - chain pharmacies" pattern is taking shape, which provides powerful support for realizing the extension of value chain sig.

Get along well with O2O, direct enterprises small scale chopper

The so-called embracing the trend to have in the future, as more and more business from a single line "combat" steering "air land battle", direct enterprises natural unwilling to lag behind, one after another into the emerging field of.

As a pioneer in the industry such as O2O, O2O has been integrated into the daily business, line set up more than 40 the size of the museum experience, shop image and fashion shop; line established smooth web ordering system, consumers in experience museum experience to product and service, can choose in the site to purchase, can also order online. Look at the metro, with the ground beautiful Luo Hui health pharmacy, and implementation of the "three nets linkage" strategy, no doubt also heralds the prelude Merro international foray into O2O.

Such as, Metro O2O pattern is slightly different, but they all have a common, namely through the layout of O2O mode, to integrate the advantages of resources, optimize the supply chain, so as to extend the industrial chain, to achieve maximum benefits. And in this regard, Sansheng pattern is a more mature.

Life is O2O synthesizer in the industry. Sansheng timely introduction of "triple play", namely: first, the electronic commerce network, constructing Sansheng electric business platform -- enjoy the network; second, ground service network, relying on distributors around the studio, and the company is on the straight camp shop image the country opened; third, consumer alliance network, composed of dealers and consumers the service object and promotion. Which enjoy the network in 2011 July officially launched, and launched a shared group (group purchase business), enjoy free (airfare, hotel, telephone service). The 2012 full year results of more than 100 million yuan, all of the results were from electric product sales.

There is a rapid growth to enjoy the network, not to enjoy the network of independent operation is successful, the benign cycle of the commercial chain a line, line but three interactive form under the. "Dealers through person to person the way to promote our online platform business, and then through the line of SLR come and help dealers benefit." Responsible for the tertiary market operation deputy general Sun Pengbo said, "first of all, as consumers, to promote the site can enjoy promotion commission. Secondly, when the online consumer generated, the location of the service network can provide services for the service fee. Finally, the enterprise can earn their profits through the platform of enterprise product sales, forming a circular chain."

The ground service network, three plans in the country the main market construction image stores, and distributors to open service outlets to regulate, and then gradually perfect. The function of future ground service network in addition to display, but also provides a wide range of functions of delivery, after-sales service and retail.

In the customer terminal, Sansheng launched a new APP application based on mobile client in 2013 November. Mobile phone terminal using APP tools to help business personnel promotion, business and management of his customers, at the same time, it is a terminal sales tools, through the APP to purchase products directly.

The O2O mode to the tertiary industry inspiration is, it makes full use of the characteristics of O2O line interactive extension products circulation of the whole industrial chain, so that the closed chain each link to form a benign circle. At the same time, also constantly improve their supply chain system for O2O escort. From the beginning of 2012, three for huge amounts of investment in the modernization construction of supply chain information system, comprehensive promotion in product supply, logistics warehousing etc..

Some people predict that, "if the box to the consumer before online sales have five hundred billion commodity to plug, so the service life of the online sales will reach trillion". Visible, O2O for the promotion of e-commerce from the sale of goods, change to provide services and experience will play a role in promoting, and this kind of experience in online and offline mode will be combined at the same time, also makes the enterprise supply chain has been extended integration, rapid growth so as to drive the entire value chain. *
