The Internet Has Become A New Channel For The Development Of Local Footwear Industry

The competition in China's footwear market has entered a stage of white heat. Every shoe enterprise is trying to expand its leading field, and make large-scale adjustments from products, prices and services, so as to meet the needs of various market segments and increase the market share. However, due to the increase in channel costs, the overall competitiveness of shoe enterprises has declined, and the shoe industry has entered a period of small profits and expansion of market share. Nowadays, the competition of shoe market is more and more inclined to channel competition. Stores, shopping malls and shoe industry supermarkets have become the main selling channels for the terminal distribution of footwear industry. How can the members of the channel chain of domestic footwear skillfully take advantage of the feast of this powerful market? Whether it is the chain store network of shoemaking enterprises, or the sales of shoe industry in department stores, or the large retail chain shoe city, the development of these nuggets Chinese shoe market will improve their competition, conflict and cooperation, and increase the cost of shoe industry channels in an attached but independent relationship. The shoe giants are playing the role of king, and the space of domestic shoe industry is narrowing. The emergence of new channels has become an urgent demand.

The rapid development of the Internet has created new business opportunities for expanding the market and is a booster for the development of the footwear industry.

Some enterprises are adopting consignment mode, and shoe enterprises give the brand network proxy to the network dealers. Some small and medium-sized brands have not yet reached the manpower and material resources of the self built shopping mall, usually using the mode of online distributors to sell, while some capable enterprises have realized the network sales by building their own businesses. If Lining was an early footwear brand in the field of e-commerce, Lining set up an e-commerce company to establish a complete network sales channel. But most enterprises only publish product information through simple websites. Other elements of e-commerce are not perfect. They need a lot of capital, manpower and material resources to realize the whole process of e-commerce. While other enterprises have established relatively perfect online trading system and logistics system, they can complete the basic e-business functions, but because they are not integrated with the internal information management, they are not yet perfect e-commerce. Therefore, in the case of enterprises' independent creation of e-business websites, they seldom achieve real profits, and disappear more vigorously.

At the same time, the third party platform can also gain good reputation and attract more partners to contribute to the vigorous development of e-commerce.
