In recent years, the development of the bathroom industry dividend period gradually faded, the capacity-based model gradually fallen. The industry has reached a bottleneck, and major enterprises began to try to break out from different directions. Some companies began to try the designer channel, the whole installation channel, work channels and other diversified development of the operating model. But after several tosses and turns, we finally found that only the dealer channel is the fundamental development of the enterprise. Continuously plowing the layout of the dealer channel is the right way to sustainable development.
But it is not easy to plow the dealer channel. Nowadays, dealers not only face rising labor costs, store rental costs, but also face the rising 85, 90 consumer groups that pay more attention to a service experience. At this time, if you also need to hire a person for logistics and installation and after-sales, which will undoubtedly cause a sharp increase in operating costs, increasing the operating pressure and operational risks.
New consumer groups pay more attention to the quality of service experience
In addition, the sanitary industry channel flattening has become an irreversible trend. In the past, the general agent and the large exclusive regional agent, gradually realized the flattening of the city, into a small dealer. This means that companies in the city, especially in large cities such as North, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and other investment are mostly not exclusive. Basically, a mall is assigned a dealer. And these dealers are basically 5-10 people operating stores, and the difficulty of trying to build a service system is very high.
At the same time, over the past two years, in the first and second-tier city dealers channel near saturation state, sanitary ware companies began to sink the channel to compete for market share in third and fourth-tier cities. To quickly seize this blank market share, the sinking channel investment is usually small and beautiful small stores.
Although it is easier to quickly open the layout of small stores, the pain points faced in the operation process are gradually exposed. First of all, the small store after-sales service capacity is weak, no own warehousing, distribution, installation, and maintenance of after-sales professional team. If each time for a single customer to find temporary logistics and distribution and social mechanics, often incur higher costs. In addition, temporary services will often be relatively inefficient and service quality will be compromised. The image of the brand will be greatly reduced in the minds of consumers, and the brand premium capacity will be significantly reduced.
Coupled with the storage capacity of small stores, low-pressure capacity, high operating costs, and increasingly transparent prices, it makes business more and more difficult. Sanitary ware enterprises in the third and fourth-tier cities investment, but also often because of this problem are stuck in the door. This requires manufacturers in the investment process from “product thinking” to “customer thinking” change, from selling products to dealers to dealers empowerment, to solve the dealer pain points of the transformation.
