2月4日晚，一位阿里员工在小红书发帖，PO出的抓拍照中，马云在阿里巴巴合伙人邵晓锋的陪同下来到千问项目组办公区。此次视 察正值千问启动30亿元"春节请客计划"前夕。 两天后的2月6日，AI App最大一场红包大战打响，千问推出奶茶免单，一时间流量蜂拥而至，不仅千问App短时间内宕机，活动也导 致骑手单量激增，消费者称配送时间延长，多家奶茶门店疑因爆单而停止接单。 千问崩了，阿里巴巴火了，伴随着"奶茶攻势"，AppStore榜首也意料之内地易主了，阿里的千问App当日冲上榜一，几天前撒下10亿 发红包的腾讯元宝，被暂时压到了第二名。 但这还只是开始，阿里千问的这一波拉上了集团内的淘宝闪购、飞猪、大麦、盒马、天猫超市，准备以免单形式，请全国人民春节 狂嗨。这是阿里史上春节活动中投入力度最大的一次。在目前已官宣的互联网大厂AI活动中，千问的投入金额也最高。 为争夺"AI入口"高地，字节、腾讯、阿里、百度这几家定义国内移动互联网格局的巨头们纷纷豪掷千金，都想趁着春节流量高峰再 上演一次"偷袭珍珠港"。阿里的算盘，也是想串联起旗下生态业务，趁撒钱发红包之势，强化千问作为集团超级入口的心智。 但这是资本市场，尤其是海外投 ...

2026年开年，港股市场迎来国货美妆品牌的冲刺热潮。1月16日，以身体洗护起家的半亩花田母公司山东花物堂化妆品股份有限公司（以下简称"半亩花 田"）正式向港交所递表，拟冲击"港股国货个护第一股"。 招股书披露的18.95亿元前三季度营收、197.2%净利润增幅等亮眼数据，勾勒出一条高速增长曲线，但深究背后的财务结构，不难发现这场上市狂欢的底 色：近五成营收被营销费用吞噬、研发投入持续走低，叠加产品质量投诉频发、现金流承压等问题，半亩花田的IPO之路，实则是一场破解双重困局的艰难 博弈。。 半亩花田的业绩增长神话，始终离不开营销投入的强力托举。招股书数据显示，2023年至2025年前九个月，半亩花田销售及营销开支分别达到6.37亿元、 6.77亿元、8.96亿元，占当期总收入的比例高达53.2%、45.2%和47.3%。这意味着，半亩花田每实现10元营收，就有近5元用于品牌推广、明星代言和KOL营 销。 为维持流量热度，半亩花田构建了"明星代言+KOL矩阵+社媒种草"的营销闭环。2025年初，半亩花田官宣乒乓球奥运冠军孙颖莎为代言人，南方都市报、 北京商报等多家媒体报道，新品香蓬瓶在1小时内GMV突破3000万 ...

"我希望未来一年，平台上的图书数量能几何级地增长。"在第三届腾讯广告教育图书生态大会的开场致辞中，腾讯广告行业销售运营副总经理施赛飞如此 展望。 从"好卖书"到"卖好书"的进化 显然，书业的增长引擎已经转移，但大多数出版机构的思维模式和运营能力尚未跟上。腾讯广告提出的"好卖书、书好卖、卖好书"，正是针对这一矛盾的 系统性解决方案。对出版机构来说，这不仅仅是营销发行技巧的优化，更是从"流量竞争"向"价值经营"的战略转型。 "好卖书"的关键在于选对阵地并建立差异化优势。 在流量成本不断攀升的背景下，腾讯生态的"社交+内容"双重基因为出版业提供了独特价值。正如腾讯视频号传统文化领域的达人赵大勇观察到的，在视 频号上，精装书、高价书反而更受欢迎。在他的直播间，《红书》等定价相对较高的产品，每次上架都能迅速售出上百套。"用户购买的不仅是知识，更 是一种情感寄托。"赵大勇表示。这种基于情感连接和内容认同的消费逻辑，与其他价格驱动的图书电商形成鲜明对比，为高品质图书提供了更适宜的土 壤。 在采访中，几位行业实践者也从不同角度向记者印证了这一观点。例如，机械工业出版社营销销售中心副主任李双磊指出，腾讯生态的核心优势在于其高 ...
