Core Viewpoint - Sam's Club China is facing backlash from its members due to the introduction of mass-market brands, which members feel dilutes the value of their membership and undermines the quality promise that distinguishes Sam's from regular supermarkets [6][17][29]. Group 1: Membership and Brand Strategy - Sam's Club China has over 5 million members, generating annual membership fees exceeding 1.3 billion yuan, and aims to maintain its appeal to the middle class by offering high-quality, unique products [9][38]. - The introduction of brands like Holley Friend has led to significant member dissatisfaction, with many feeling that the quality of products has declined and that they are now paying a premium for items available in regular supermarkets [12][18]. - Members have expressed their frustration through social media and have taken actions such as canceling memberships, indicating a strong reaction to perceived changes in product selection and quality [15][39]. Group 2: Product Quality Concerns - Reports indicate that the quality of products has deteriorated, with examples such as organic soybeans being downgraded from first to third grade quality, and changes in ingredient transparency leading to further distrust among members [32][34]. - There have been numerous complaints regarding food safety issues, including contamination in products, which have contributed to a decline in consumer trust [36][38]. - The rapid expansion of Sam's Club China has strained its supply chain management and quality control processes, making it difficult to maintain high standards [35][36]. Group 3: Market Position and Competition - The competitive landscape is changing, with Costco planning to open additional stores in China and local players like Hema and RT-Mart gaining traction, prompting Sam's Club to adjust its strategy to attract a broader customer base [23][29]. - The shift towards including more mass-market brands is seen as a response to changing consumer behavior, where members are increasingly engaging in "smart consumption" by purchasing both premium and budget items [23][27]. - Sam's Club's strategy reflects a broader industry trend of balancing elite offerings with more accessible products, but this has led to internal conflict regarding brand identity and member expectations [29][30].
