宝胜国际一季度营收51.07亿元下滑5.4%:线上增长难掩线下疲软
Jin Rong Jie· 2025-07-11 15:01
从历史数据来看,宝胜国际的门店数量持续收缩。截至2024年12月31日,公司在大中华区拥有3448家门 店,相比2019年底的5883家门店,五年间净减少2435家,平均每年关闭约487家门店。这一"瘦身"策略 虽然有助于优化成本结构,但也暴露出传统零售渠道的困境。 ## 品牌直营模式冲击传统代理商 宝胜国际面临的挑战不仅来自消费环境的变化,更源于供应商策略的调整。近年来,在DTC(direct to consumer,直面消费者)趋势下,Nike、Adidas等品牌商将更多资源倾斜向自营业务,对传统代理商形 成了直接冲击。 品牌方在核心商圈开设大型旗舰店的步伐明显加快。以北京三里屯商圈为例,Nike集团旗下Jordan品牌 开设了全球第四家World of Flight门店,这家五层门店与LV、DIOR等奢侈品牌的超大门店并肩而立。同 时,安踏集团旗下FILA品牌和lululemon等也在核心位置开出了区域最大门店。 宝胜国际2025年一季度财报显示,公司营业收入约51.07亿元,较去年同期减少5.4%,权益持有人应占 溢利减少18.2%至约1.38亿元。作为Nike、Adidas等国际运动品牌在中国的重要 ...

独立站运营新解:SHOPLINE刘元喆称老客复购成本远低于新客
Sou Hu Cai Jing· 2025-07-10 03:48
在品牌出海的浪潮中,独立站成为了众多企业不可忽视的战略要地。然而,独立站是否仅仅是一个可供消费者下单的品牌官方网站?与跨 境电商平台相比,独立站究竟应该如何发挥其独特作用? 他进一步指出,独立站具有两大核心价值值得中国商家和出海企业深入挖掘。首先,作为自有的店铺,独立站能够自由营造氛围感和互动 感,从而更有效地留住流量。其次,独立站注重流量运营的长尾效应。在流量获取方面,许多企业过于关注新流量和获客拓新,但对于致 力于出海品牌建设的企业而言,流量的运营、沉淀和激活更为重要。 刘元喆分享了一个案例,某品牌企业通过邮件营销实现的营收占比高达40%,远超行业10%的平均水平。邮件营销对复购行为的再激活效果 显著,关键在于精准获取忠实客户并持续进行得力运营。他指出,虽然许多中国卖家更倾向于红人营销或投放广告拉新,但复购的持续发 生同样是品牌发展的重要基石。SHOPLINE内部数据显示,在复购领域,获客成本仅为新客户获取成本的20%甚至10%。这意味着,企业仅 需两成的营销成本就能推动老客户再次下单,这正是独立站运营的独特魅力所在。 在谈及独立站的发展前景时,刘元喆表示,每个行业的发展都会经历挑战,跨境电商也不例外。早 ...
