into La month, lots of fruit batches The dealer has not received a group order order yet. Reporter Li Pengfei photo
what kind of fruit do you want to buy? Look into the store, there are many varieties. On the 19 day, the old Dong, who was engaged in fruit sales in the wholesale market of the dike's fruit, was more enthusiastic than ever before, and even if he had bought 32 Jin of fruit, he would not be willing to give up. This rarely happened in the market before the Spring Festival in previous years. If two or three years ago, when I entered the twelfth lunar month, a large number of group purchase orders came, but I haven't received a single list this year. Lao Dong, who has been relying on the group purchase orders of the organs and units, suffered from the cold winter in the fruit market. During the interview, the reporter found that the vegetable gift box had encountered the same situation.
fruit city
looks to see the new year, group buying old customers do not come to
nothing to do. This is the first thing he said when he saw Lao Dong. Old Dong has managed more than ten years of fruit in the wholesale market of the dike's fruit, and has accumulated a lot of customers from agencies, enterprises and institutions. This part of the income can account for more than half of the income of old Dong Zong.
the situation is too bad this year. Lao Tung said that before the Spring Festival, only the unit group could sell eight hundred ninety thousand pieces of goods. There were 10 days for the new year, but he didn't receive a single. At first, old Dong will call old customers in previous years, and the results are constantly rejected. Now, the welfare of the agency is so strict, who will dare to fight against the wind, and the old Dong Lian doesn't call at last.
reporters in the dike fruit market noticed that there was no queuing phenomenon in the market. This is also confirmed in the old Dong's words. In the past year, at this time, we couldn't get into the car. The fruit cart could row thousands of meters. There is no queue up at all this year. Old Dong said.
according to old Dong's past experience, generally in the small year, the mass group purchase will end in a small year. At present, only three days are left in the small year. For the total sales situation of this year, the old Dong is not optimistic. He expects the unit order order to be reduced by 2/3 this year. He said this year's market will be the most difficult year for him.
sell more varieties, keep fruit retailers and customers
fewer units, and definitely affect the overall sales volume. Lao Du, who is doing business in the wholesale market of dike fruit, has his own way.
Lao Du said that in recent years, he did not deliberately develop the group buying of organs, but instead spent more energy on maintaining fruit retailers and individual customers. Judging from the current market situation, the sales volume of this group of sales groups is basically not affected, so the sales volume of Lao Du can be basically the same as in previous years. In addition, Lao Du has also maintained good cooperation with large supermarkets, which ensures that the overall sales volume will not be too bad in the case of declining sales. To attract fruit retailers and individual customers, the most important thing is to enrich fruit varieties and store enough goods. Lao Du believes that fruit retailers are directly oriented towards consumers and demand is diversified.
interview, the reporter also noted that fruit prices higher than in previous years. Old Dong mentioned that the price of domestic public vegetables, such as apples, pears and navel oranges, is 1 yuan per Jin more than the average in previous years. For example, the wholesale price of Hebei pear is sold to more than 3 yuan per Jin this year, and the previous year's price is not more than 2 yuan. The main reason is that many of the main fruit producing areas have been cut down, such as Hebei Sydney. This year the production area has been reduced by nearly 80%, and the southern flood has also led to a large reduction in banana production. Old Dong analysis, in addition, this year the regiment list reduced, many wholesalers dare not easily hoard goods, the total fruit market reduced, also to a certain extent, raised the price.
vegetable market
vegetable gift box is not afraid to rise in price
it is not only fruit, but quality vegetables have also suffered a decline in sales. Mr. Lu, the responsible person in charge of a vegetable base in eastern Ji'nan, introduces that his base has introduced more than 20 varieties of vegetable varieties. Customers can match their vegetable gift boxes according to their own needs. The price of the gift box is between 150 yuan / -180 yuan / box. In addition to the distribution of household users, in the past year, Mr. Lu's base also had some regiment units, enterprises and institutions, which accounted for about 20% of the total sales. Although this part of the group purchase orders accounted for a small proportion, this year also clearly felt a decrease. Mr. Lu said that the sale of thousands of boxes in previous years was no problem, but so far this year has not yet received a list.
for this reason, Mr. Lu also adjusted the sales strategy. On the one hand,
, he pays more attention to the service of group buying and keeps the list as far as possible. "Before the Spring Festival, the vegetable gift boxes will rise by 20%-30% than usual. This year, the base has decided not to raise prices, but not to rise." Mr. Lu said.
reporters also learned that in addition to making concessions on the price, many vegetable bases also sell their products in various ways. When reporters interviewed Mr. Lu, he was doing exhibitions at the annual goods meeting to expand sales.
