比如,自淘宝闪购5月2日上线以来,库迪咖啡一日内订单增长近10倍,茉莉奶白在饿了么外卖订单量日 均也增长近3倍。 京东外卖上的销量表现也反映了茶咖品牌受到的追捧。茶咖观察在假期内多次点开京东外卖,爆单榜一 直稳定被瑞幸、库迪、古茗、霸王茶姬等占据。 茶饮和咖啡的高频成为外卖平台的必争赛道。 五一假期,连锁新茶饮和咖啡成了承接流量红利的最大赢家。 茶百道数据显示,五一期间,品牌整体销售额环比增幅50%,全国多家门店销量增幅超1700%,甚至有 景区门店销量增幅达3000%。奈雪的茶数据显示,五一假期期间,全国销售火爆,部分门店订单量环比 节前激增超300%。 假期经济带来的出游热潮为新茶饮门店带来大量客流。茶咖观察还了解到,外卖大战,也给各大茶咖品 牌带来了流量。 但这只是表象。一杯茶咖如何能在流量争夺战中脱颖而出?为什么是新茶饮和咖啡,而不是正餐、甜品 或便利零食,最终接住了这波补贴红利? 首先,相较正餐、甜品等品类,新茶饮的标准化程度更高。大多已经实现了从原料供应、门店操作到出 杯流程的高度标准化,具备"千店一味"的能力,这让它在平台运营、用户决策和履约配送的全链条中更 具优势。即便用户是在旅游途中或临时起 ...

不是楼上吃不起,而是B1更有性价比
3 6 Ke· 2025-05-06 11:04
结果就是,大家坐着地铁过来,逛完B2逛B1,饭也吃了,奶茶也喝了,店也逛了,热闹也凑了,直接转头地铁回家,连地面都不用出。搞得如今的购物 中心,差不多都要变成一门地下生意了。 这年头大部分商场,地上和地下完全是两个光景。 一层以上门可罗雀,服装、美妆、运动、影院,没有一个能打的。好一点的位置都改卖新能源车了。 到了B1B2,就是另一番面貌了。奶茶搭着炸串,捞面挨着拌饭,还有中西式烘焙挑逗多巴胺。就算是个机器人路过,也得往你的充电口里塞两斤糖油混 合物。 有了餐饮扛大梁,再来两家杂货店,卖点联名谷子小潮玩,再加一家奥乐齐或者盒马NB这样的折扣超市,一到周末不说人山人海,那也是人声鼎沸。 甚至有些网红品牌,会跳过一层的王牌铺位,反过来选择负一层开店。 那么,是什么让B1B2成了商场的主力楼层? 这期内容,我们来聊商场负一层的商业。 01 在我看来,商场这东西,一层以上,逛的是面子,B1B2,消费的才是里子。 以前我不懂事,爱面子,现在想明白了,觉得自己像个傻子。 都2025年了,大部分商场从头逛到尾,已经找不出什么特别值得消费的东西了。 化妆品?是直播间不够便宜,还是双十一没囤够货? 衣服鞋子?是得物款式不够多, ...
红菜头正在成为“中产通行证”
FBIF食品饮料创新· 2025-05-06 00:31
Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the rise of "superfoods" in the market, highlighting their marketing appeal and the trend of food brands incorporating these ingredients into their products to attract consumers [5][19][33]. Group 1: Definition and Popularity of Superfoods - "Superfood" is a vague term originating from the West, referring to foods rich in certain nutrients, but lacks a strict scientific definition [13][15]. - The popularity of superfoods has surged recently, with various brands launching products featuring ingredients like kale, beetroot, and turmeric, which are marketed for their health benefits [6][7][10]. - A significant factor in the rise of superfoods is a 2022 article from Harvard Health that listed ten superfoods, which gained traction on social media and contributed to the perception of these foods as health-enhancing [20][23]. Group 2: Market Trends and Brand Strategies - In the past year, many food and beverage brands have introduced new products centered around superfoods, with notable examples including Heytea's kale-based drink and various offerings from other tea brands [6][7][10]. - The trend has expanded beyond beverages to include snacks and meal replacements, with brands like White Elephant and Wang Baobao launching products that emphasize the health benefits of superfoods [10][26]. - Social media data indicates that the most common associations with superfoods have shifted from weight loss to nutrition, reflecting a broader acceptance of these ingredients in everyday diets [29]. Group 3: Historical Context and Marketing Dynamics - The article traces the historical context of superfoods, noting that many have undergone similar marketing transformations in the past, such as bananas and avocados, which were once considered difficult to sell but became popular through strategic marketing [35][37]. - The marketing of superfoods often emphasizes their health benefits while downplaying their historical challenges in gaining consumer acceptance, suggesting that the appeal of superfoods is as much about marketing as it is about nutrition [33][40].

news flash· 2025-05-06 00:04
金十数据5月6日讯,中金公司研报认为,一季度A股上市企业业绩边际改善,关税预期在小长假期间略 显和缓,港股美股在A股休市期间表现较好,国内外环境对A股整体影响偏积极,在此背景下A股节后 有望迎来"开门红"。配置层面,结合关税影响和行业景气度,建议考虑以下思路:1)景气回升并且受 关税影响不大的领域,例如DeepSeek突破加速AI产业发展,AI产业链中的云计算、算力等基础设施环 节,再到机器人、智能驾驶等应用环节,仍是重要主线。此外,部分对美敞口不高的出口链,如工程机 械、电网设备、商用车等也值得关注。2)现金流优质、与外需关联度不高的红利板块,例如水电、电 信运营商、食品饮料等行业的龙头公司。 中金:A股节后有望迎来"开门红" ...
