Global supply chain capability is the strength for Suning in its success during the 618 Mid-Year Shopping Festival in China

Leave a comment

NANJING, China, June 19, 2020 — The first 618 shopping festival in the post-COVID era has already surpassed the meaning of “Mid-Year Shopping Festival”. Suning.com, as the leading O2O smart retail service provider in China owned by Suning Holdings Group, aimed to stimulate China’s consumption engine and help consumers to enjoy real benefits.

On May 25th, at the Suning.com 618 cloud conference, Gu Wei, vice president of Suning.com announced Suning will launch the “J-10%” money-saving plan, multi-categories top-selling products plan and “1V1” customer service plan.

Suning’s “J-10%” money-saving plan, targeting household appliances, mobile phones, computers, supermarkets and other categories participating in the subsidy activities will be at least 10% lower than other major e-commerce platforms’ hand price. During the 618 Mid-Year Shopping Festival, major platforms are providing tens of billions of subsidies, and the benefits are complicated for consumers to figure out.

At the same time, Suning also launched the multi-categories top-selling products plan, depending on the supply chain price advantage and platform supplements to reduce price to the end. “This year’s 618 Mid-Year Shopping Festival is not only a price war, but also a service war,” said Gu Wei. He also explained that the “1V1” customer service plan will allocate service strength to the maximum value and match exclusive services for each consumer.

In addition to the providing competitive pricing, variety performance events are the second area of focus in the Festival. Suning.com Super Show invited many superstars and celebrities to create a livestream. The show and stars’ livestream had a strong effect on sales. After 5 and a half hours, the turnover exceeded RMB 5 billion and the number of viewers on the platforms exceeded 120 million.

According to the data released by Suning during the 618 Mid-Year Shopping Festival, Suning’s omni-channel sales scales increased by 129% and retail cloud sales increased by 431%. Among them, Apple, Midea, Gree, Haier, Huawei, Xiaomi and other brands’ sales performance broke RMB 100 million in just an hour.

Global supply chain capability is the foundation of sales competitiveness. Zhang Jindong, Chairman of Suning Holdings Group said, “The capabilities of Suning’s global value chain must be implemented at providing affordable prices and high-quality services to users, and by providing the ultimate service experience.” At the 618 Mid-Year Shopping Festival, Zhang Jindong put forward the concept of “value war” on the basis of price war, which actually put forward higher requirements on Suning. Relying on the advantages of the global value chain, Suning can maintain competitive prices as well as top-level service, raising a new standard for industry competition.

VISTA Eye Specialists collaborates with Hoya Vision Care and Vision Space Optometrists to raise awareness on Myopia Pandemic[1]

Leave a comment

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, June 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — VISTA, in a collaboration with Hoya Vision Care and Vision Space Optometrists (Vision Space), will be sharing with the public, via Facebook Live Webinar on 25 June 2020 8pm titled ‘Addressing our Children’s Sight: Controlling the progress of Short-Sightedness in the Era of Digitalization’, focusing on the impact of kid’s shortsightedness, how parents can help kids with lifestyle tweaks, clinical methods or special contact lenses and glasses.

VISTA Eye Specialist, Hoya Vision Care and Vision Space Optometrist collaborate to educate about the rising problem of Short-sightedness.
VISTA Eye Specialist, Hoya Vision Care and Vision Space Optometrist collaborate to educate about the rising problem of Short-sightedness.

“In this era of digitalization, especially since the Covid-19 lockdown, we see more kids with increasing shortsightedness (myopia) due to online classes and the increasing use of digital devices to pacify or occupy kids while parents work from home,” says VISTA Eye Specialist (VISTA) consultant ophthalmologist, Dr Vienne Tai.

A rising issue worldwide, short-sightedness has become a major health issue for kids. Research shows that 70% to 87% of Asian school children and young adults have myopia².

“The progression of myopia is growing at an alarming rate from the current global prevalence of 30% to 50% by 2050 – close to a 5 billion population³,” says Dr. Vienne. “Many don’t realize that increasing shortsightedness doesn’t mean only the changing of glasses,” says Dr. Vienne. “The risks of certain eye diseases increase exponentially with myopia, such as glaucoma and retinal detachment.”  

“Many parents are actively seeking ways to help their kids control the progression of shortsightedness. However, there is still a lack of knowledge about technology such as special contact lenses and glasses,” says Mr. Woon Pak Seong, CEO of Vision Space. “There are some myths about these tools and via this Webinar, parents will be able to understand and learn about how to choose the ones that most suits their child.”

“Our goal is to develop optical technology that is readily accessible for kids to lead a better quality of life through controlling myopia progression,” adds Mr Chris Toh, Professional Affairs Specialist, Hoya Vision Care. “We will be explaining our technology’s breakthrough in the industry, that it is already available locally. Today, more than ever, we are proud to say we have a clinically proven technology to control short-sightedness.” Hoya Vision Care, one of the largest healthcare providers in the world, is dedicated to providing the education that will help parents make the best decisions for their children.

Despite the Movement Control Order, VISTA continues its effort to raise awareness of eye health and has conducted over 40 Zoom/FB Live Webinars over the last 3 months including the recent ones with the Star and Sin Chew Daily, 2 major daily newspapers in Malaysia.

About VISTA Eye Specialist

Founded in 1999, VISTA is one of the largest Eye Specialist Centers in Malaysia with 11 centres covering the Klang Valley, Penang and Johor Bahru.

Daily Unique Visitors of Yiwugo.com has reached 800,000

Leave a comment

YIWU, China, June 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Yiwugo.com, the official website of the Yiwu Commodity Market, which is the largest commodity wholesale market in the world. According to the recent back-office statistics of Yiwugo, the number of unique visitors (UV) has reached 800,000 per day and peaked at 950,000; the pageview (PV) volume peaked at 15 million. On average, every visitor has clicked the commodity pages for 7-8 times.

According to analysis, the reasons behind the traffic increase on Yiwugo are as follows:

1. The constantly improving functionality of the platform is the solid foundation for its traffic increase

Since the launch of Yiwugo over 8 years ago, the platform products and services have been constantly improved, and its functions have been further adapted to cater for small-commodity wholesalers and buyers. By moving all commodities of the physical market to the Internet, Yiwugo is committed to making it easier for buyers to search commodities. Through 360-degree panoramic display and live streaming, the platform ensures online and offline consistency and traceable transactions. Besides, positioned as a “generalized” wholesale platform, Yiwugo is characterized by diverse commodities, large number of transactions, and small orders. As such, it has gained popularity among micro, small, and medium start-ups by creating a convenient and reliable channel for physical store owners and online store owners.

2. Through persistent brand promotion, Yiwugo has ushered in a period of explosive growth

Sticking to the principle of independent brand development, Yiwugo has been dedicated to serving the brands it hosts over the years and seen constant increase in its own brand awareness. Today, Yiwugo has become one of the most influential B2B e-commerce platforms in the professional market of China. In addition, Yiwugo has persisted in promoting its brand overseas through Facebook and Google to reach out to more overseas buyers. To date, Yiwugo has more than 7 million followers on Facebook, and it is easy to find Yiwugo’s suppliers on Google.

3. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought changes to buyers’ behavior and promoted the development of online platforms

Since the beginning of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has forced the world into lockdown. As a result, more small-commodity deals have been shifted from offline to online. Small-commodity buyers across the world are looking for proper suppliers on Yiwugo, obtaining their contact information, and holding remote negotiations on small-commodity deals. In this way, the quarantine will not stand in the way of business communications.

4. The post-pandemic economic recovery has spurred many to restart businesses and look for sources of commodities

The pandemic has lasted half a year and delivered a heavy blow to the global economy and livelihood, especially to small- and medium-sized enterprises. Along with the economic recovery, the suppressed consumption power is being released. Everyone is seeking the most convenient way to restart economy and go back to normal life. Small commodities, as daily necessities for the general public, have also embraced a surging demand, which has led to a spike in the traffic on Yiwugo.
