Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the contrasting marketing strategies and market positioning of two brands under Anta Sports: Descente and its high-profile marketing campaign that faced backlash due to environmental concerns, leading to a significant loss in market value for Anta Sports [1][2]. Group 1: Brand Positioning and Marketing Strategies - Descente, a high-end brand originating from skiing, has shifted its focus towards the "institutional dressing" market, appealing to civil servants and employees in state-owned enterprises who prioritize comfort and understated style [2][3]. - The brand's design philosophy emphasizes functionality and quality over visual impact, aligning with the conservative dressing culture of the target demographic [3][5]. - The recent marketing efforts of Descente have successfully linked the brand to the "institutional dressing" trend, with social media discussions highlighting its products as suitable for this consumer group [5][7]. Group 2: Market Trends and Consumer Behavior - The demand for clothing that balances professional appearance with comfort has grown, as the lines between work and casual wear blur, creating opportunities for functional sports brands like Descente [3][8]. - Descente's pricing strategy, around 3000 yuan, positions it as a more accessible option compared to competitors like Arc'teryx, which often has higher price points, thus appealing to middle-class consumers in the institutional sector [9][12]. - The brand's evolution from specialized outdoor gear to everyday functional wear reflects a natural progression in response to market demands, allowing it to tap into a broader consumer base [9][12].

For instance, camping and trail running have seen brief periods of popularity [2]. - The overall market size is expanding, with the sports consumption market expected to reach approximately 1.5 trillion yuan in 2023 and grow to 2.8 trillion yuan by 2025. Online consumption in outdoor sports has surpassed 300 billion yuan, with over 200 million participants [2][3]. Consumer Segmentation - The market is increasingly stratified, with one segment of consumers focused on low prices and immediate gratification, while another segment views sports equipment as an extension of their lifestyle and identity [3][4]. - Brands targeting elite consumers face unique challenges due to the limited size of this demographic and their strong emphasis on perceived value and cultural significance associated with sports [4][6].

Instead of pursuing mass visibility, it focuses on a structured approach to engage with its target audience through high-density touchpoints in their daily lives [8][9]. - The brand's store locations are strategically chosen in areas with high concentrations of affluent consumers, emphasizing alignment with their daily routines rather than sheer foot traffic [9][11].

Core Insights - The article discusses the challenges faced by cross-border e-commerce sellers regarding unsold goods in overseas warehouses and the potential for returning these goods to the home country for recovery and processing [1][11] Group 1: Policy and Regulations - Policies and regulations are crucial for determining whether unsold goods in overseas warehouses can be returned. Recent improvements in customs regulations across various countries support the return of cross-border e-commerce goods [3] - For instance, Chinese customs allows the return of unsold goods within six months of export without import duties and taxes, provided certain conditions are met [3] - However, strict customs audits require sellers to provide extensive documentation, and certain goods may face additional hurdles based on quality issues or compliance with domestic standards [3] Group 2: Logistics Costs - Even if policies permit returns, logistics costs are a significant consideration for sellers. Cross-border logistics are inherently expensive and complex, and returning unsold goods can further escalate these costs [4] - For example, returning a batch of unsold clothing valued at 100,000 yuan from the U.S. could incur shipping costs ranging from 5,000 to 10,000 yuan via sea freight, taking 20 to 45 days, or up to 50,000 yuan via air freight, taking only 5 to 7 days [4] - Additional costs such as customs clearance, storage, and potential penalties for delays can further complicate the return process, making it economically unfeasible if costs exceed the value of the goods [4] Group 3: Product Characteristics - The nature of the products significantly influences the feasibility of returning unsold goods. Standardized and widely applicable products, like electronic accessories, may have better resale potential in the domestic market after return [7] - Conversely, seasonal items or perishable goods face challenges in the return process, as they may not sell well if returned outside their peak season or if their quality deteriorates during transit [7][8] - The condition of the goods (new, used, or defective) also affects the return decision, with new items being easier to process compared to second-hand or flawed products [8] Group 4: Strategic Alternatives - The article suggests that sellers should adopt a comprehensive approach to managing unsold goods, considering policy, logistics, and product characteristics. If conditions for return are not met, alternative strategies should be explored [11] - Options include local liquidation, discount promotions on cross-border platforms, or collaborating with third-party warehouses for clearance services [11] - By diversifying their strategies, sellers can effectively manage inventory challenges and pursue sustainable growth in the dynamic cross-border e-commerce market [11]
