不做KTV,做娱乐新物种:星聚会的逆势增长方法论
36氪· 2025-07-02 12:39
Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the emergence of Xing Juhui, a KTV brand, in Tokyo's Shibuya, highlighting its resilience in a declining industry and questioning whether it is gambling or creating a new business model that can withstand market cycles [1][5]. Industry Overview - The KTV industry in China has seen a significant decline, with over 70,000 KTV stores disappearing since 2015, and major players exiting the market [3]. - Despite the industry's struggles, Xing Juhui has opened over 900 stores in 14 years without any closures due to losses, indicating a shorter investment return period than the industry average [4]. Business Model Innovation - Xing Juhui redefines KTV as an entertainment social space rather than just a singing venue, focusing on social interaction and emotional release [6][9]. - The brand has transformed the traditional KTV revenue model by creating a multi-scenario, multi-revenue source environment, enhancing customer experience and increasing average spending [11][14]. Operational Efficiency - Xing Juhui adopts a lightweight operational model, with smaller store sizes (300-800 square meters) and reduced staffing (around 6-10 employees), significantly lowering rental and labor costs [21][23]. - The brand's investment return period for new stores is typically around two years, which is competitive compared to traditional KTV models [24]. Growth and Expansion Strategy - Xing Juhui aims to expand to 2,000 stores domestically and 300 internationally within three years, with a focus on leveraging its unique service model to attract customers in Japan and other markets [4][37]. - The brand has a high franchisee retention rate, with an 83% rate of franchisees opening additional locations, indicating a successful and replicable business model [30]. Competitive Advantages - Xing Juhui has established three key competitive advantages: prime location access, complex regulatory approval processes for KTV openings, and a robust digital system that standardizes operations across its locations [34]. - The brand's investment in technology and data collection allows for continuous improvement and operational efficiency, setting it apart from traditional KTV competitors [35]. Future Outlook - The company is optimistic about its growth trajectory, with plans to enhance its presence in first and second-tier cities while also targeting emerging markets [31]. - Xing Juhui's approach to creating a new demand for social entertainment positions it well for future success, both domestically and internationally [38][39].

36氪· 2025-07-02 12:39
Core Viewpoint - The trend of high-star hotels setting up street stalls is a response to the declining business environment, driven by reduced demand for traditional services like business meetings and high-end dining [27][50][64]. Group 1: Emergence of Street Stalls - High-star hotels across various cities, including Henan and Shaanxi, have started setting up food stalls outside their premises, offering affordable meals to attract customers [5][10][20]. - The phenomenon has gained traction, with hotels like Shaoxing International Hotel and Tianjin Ritz-Carlton participating in this trend, indicating a shift in strategy to adapt to changing consumer behavior [15][20][27]. Group 2: Business Challenges - The hospitality industry is facing significant challenges, including a decline in business from corporate clients due to stricter spending policies and reduced travel budgets [34][39]. - Reports indicate that over 60% of companies have cut travel budgets, with some sectors experiencing reductions of 15%-30%, impacting hotel revenues [34][36]. Group 3: Consumer Behavior Changes - There is a noticeable shift in consumer preferences towards value for money, with customers now more inclined to purchase affordable meals from hotel stalls rather than dining in [40][44]. - The trend reflects a broader consumer sentiment where "face consumption" is no longer prioritized, leading to increased demand for lower-priced options [40][44]. Group 4: Long-term Implications - The shift to street stalls is not merely a temporary measure but may indicate a fundamental change in the business model of high-star hotels, which will need to balance high-end and mass-market offerings [64]. - The industry is exploring ways to adapt by offering smaller, more affordable menu items and leveraging online sales channels to reach a broader audience [61][63].
