Wenzhou Shoe Companies Welcome The Spring After Shuffling The Cards
The 5~7 months of the year are the low season for shoemaking enterprises. But this year, the low season of many shoe enterprises in Wenzhou has ended nearly 20 days. "At the end of June, our order came to August. After the completion of the order meeting in early July, the order has been placed in November. Zheng Laili, vice president of Kangnai group, said that many orders could only be rejected, but arrangements could not be made.
Not only Kangnai, Wenzhou's several big shoe companies, the recent production situation is red hot: Red Dragonfly sales in the first half of the year increased by about 30%, the second half of the momentum is also good; AOKANG took the Olympic express, orders have also received the end of the year.
Despite the cold spell of raw material prices and tight money, Wenzhou shoes, which have experienced many ups and downs, obviously have a certain ability to keep out the cold. From 1987, the fire of Wenzhou shoe in Wulin Square, and repeatedly encountered anti-dumping, Wenzhou shoe enterprises have been quietly changing themselves. When many small and strong enterprises are still busy with "winter", Wenzhou's brand shoes enterprises have taken a step forward and stand tall and upright.
市場,相信適者生存。
Secretary General: I am very busy recently.
Xie Rongfang, executive vice president and Secretary General of Wenzhou shoe leather industry association, has been in the same boat with Wenzhou shoe enterprises for more than 20 years. This year, how many meetings have been held with Wenzhou shoe companies and how many times have they been accompanied by the leaders and inspects of many countries and provinces? "At the end of last year, it is too tired, tired and tired."
Although it is still busy recently, there is a hurry in the hurry. Speaking of Wenzhou shoe companies in the past few years, Xie Rongfang's voice is more moist than usual: China's ten largest shoe king, Wenzhou accounted for six, Wenzhou is known as the Chinese shoes city, is the name to the actual return. These achievements have been accumulated over the years.
There was a panic: "the collapse of shoe enterprises" is coming. To this end, in the first half of the year, Xie Rongfang received a headache when he received a telephone call from various media. Recently, the Wenzhou shoe leather industry association has made an industry analysis: at present, the failure of Wenzhou shoe enterprises only occurs in some small enterprises, which is the result of shuffling the industry, while the larger enterprises are "strong and strong".
According to Xie Rongfang's data, there are about 170 shoe factories in the first half of this year, which belong to C enterprises, that is, "free development" small businesses. Class a "key support" and "B" guided development footwear enterprises are still relatively stable. Xie Rongfang said: "for the shoe companies that spend money on the brand in the past few years, this year's shuffle may be a good thing. However, they also need to adapt to the new environment as soon as possible.
Despite the fact that Wenzhou's footwear industry is also facing difficulties, Xie Rongfang said there will be no "collapse tide". Information from the Asian Footwear Association shows that in recent 1 years, nearly 1000 shoe factories and supporting enterprises in Guangdong have gone out of business. Among them, more than 1000 of Dongguan's shoemaking enterprises were bankrupt by 200~300. "Most of the shoe enterprises that went bankrupt in Guangdong are Taiwanese funded enterprises, and their factories are rented, and they also operate other industries. And Wenzhou shoe enterprises are native born with their own factories and customers. No one will give up until the last resort. In addition, many shoe companies in Wenzhou have been operating for more than 20 years, and have undergone several rounds of reinvention and have considerable risk resistance capabilities.
In July, Wenzhou shoe companies such as Kangnai, AOKANG, red dragonfly, Jill and so on all held an order conference, with a strong response and steady growth of orders. It also confirms the record of the economic operation of the shoe leather industry in Wenzhou in the first half of 2008 on the desk of Xie Rongfang: 2692 shoemaking enterprises in the city, and the total industrial output value in the first half of this year was 20 billion 560 million yuan, an increase of 5.7% over the same period last year.
員工:文藝匯演給訂單讓路
Anhui Xiao Liu has worked in the Kang Nai group for more than 5 years, and now he is deputy director of a Kangnai workshop. What he expects most is that there are always a series of activities, sports meetings, tea parties and annual art exhibitions in every factory during the off-season.
This year, however, there are some exceptions. At the beginning of July, he obviously felt that this year's off-season was more busy than before. As a result, the grand performance of literature and art, which was originally held in July, has made way for orders, and these two days often have to work overtime. However, Xiao Liu is in a good mood: if he works harder and harder, he won't be able to earn more money at the end of the year.
The small shoe enterprises that are struggling to keep up are unable to support because of rising costs, reduced orders, difficult employees, and no brands. After a round of shuffling, the larger shoe enterprises were more spacious than the market space, and started well, and production and sales flourishing. Last year, AOKANG's leather goods sales increased by 100% and leather shoes sales increased by 40%. Even under such unfavorable conditions this year, the sales of leather shoes increased by more than 30% in the first half of the year. The order of Kangnai has been received in November this year, and the sales of red dragonflies in the first half of the year increased by 30%.
"Today's Wenzhou is Zhejiang's tomorrow." A person in charge of the provincial economic and Trade Commission has just said this in an interview with reporters. Among the 13 distinctive industries in Wenzhou, Wenzhou shoes are among the best. Last year's output was 1 billion 200 million pairs, almost for every Chinese pair of shoes.
Behind the "boom in production and marketing" is the determination of "Wulin men to burn shoes" 20 years ago. At that time, Wenzhou shoes became synonymous with fake and shoddy products, and were expelled by many cities, which almost brought Wenzhou shoes to the top. "If it hadn't been a big fire that had pushed Wenzhou shoes into the bottom, maybe there would not be so many famous Chinese brands and well-known trademarks in Wenzhou today." Xie Rongfang said, in recent years, Wenzhou shoes are facing anti-dumping again and again, and all along the way, they can persist to today's enterprises must have something extraordinary. So this year's "winter" is just another test for them.
三個牛人的越冬高招
鄭秀康:羅馬不是一天建成的
A month ago, Kangnai shoe store opened 2 stores in Australia, and opened a New Zealand store in late July. Although the global economic situation is not very good, Kangnai President Zheng Xiukang did not slow down.
Since February 2001, Kangnai has become the first shoe manufacturer in Wenzhou to open stores in foreign countries. Now Kangnai has more than 300 foreign stores. In recent years, many shoe makers in Wenzhou want to make their brands go abroad, but have not been successful. Rome was not built in a day.
"In the past few years, it was really hard. At that time, 7 of the people who came to the store were overseas Chinese. Now, our overseas stores, shop assistants and salesmen are all foreigners, and more than 90% of our customers are foreigners. Zheng Laili said that they had taken the high-end route abroad, and the design and materials had adopted the international elements. The profits were relatively high, and the impact of RMB appreciation and export tax rebate was relatively small. Kangnai has more than 3000 franchised stores in China. "Franchised stores are growing steadily, and this part of the order is increasing steadily every year." Zheng Xiukang has been very low-key in the industry, just like consumers' impression of Kangnai shoes, the quality of products is good but not fashionable enough. But this situation is also quietly changing. Now the daughter management marketing, the son management research and development, the consumer group is more and more widely, at the end of last year launched the dynamic comfortable shoes, has become the new product that this year drives the profit. "To maintain good profits, pushing new products is obviously the best way."
Today, Kangnai is preparing retail schools to invest more in the terminal.
錢金波:一年花2億搞研發
How many pairs of shoes do you want to sell for 200 million yuan? In recent years, however, money spent by Jin Bo has been spent on research and development.
This year, the terminal marketing of China's footwear industry has undergone tremendous changes. In the face of the increasing rental pressure, single store performance has been declining, coupled with rising labor costs and raw material costs, the profits of shoe brands are facing enormous pressure.
Qian Jinbo has a questionnaire on his hand. The average annual rental price of commercial stores in the second tier cities in China has exceeded 10 thousand yuan / yuan, and some places even reach 20 thousand yuan, even the average annual rent of three cities in the country has reached 4000 yuan. Such a rental level, single brand footwear products have been very difficult to support. At the same time, the vicious competition among brands is making all enterprises unable to breathe.
The red dragonfly has launched the terminal integrated sales mode for this innovation. It displays the products of the Red Dragonfly brand to satisfy consumers' one-stop shopping demand. At present, red dragonfly has opened nearly 100 integrated stores in the whole country.
Take the Red Dragonfly Taizhou fashion GT (integrated) concept store as an example: during the six months of operation, the turnover increased by 48%, and the "flat effect" (average sales volume per square metre) increased by 25%, and the passenger flow increased by 25% over the past six months. And the cost that originally needs several facades, now needs only one.
This way has also been used by many shoe companies in Wenzhou to sell all kinds of shoe brands together to avoid waste.
王振滔:借勢奧運更上一層樓
Reporters from the two weeks before the Olympic Games began to contact Wang Zhentao, in the middle only through a telephone, he was on the way to see two international new customers. All Chinese enterprises want to be able to take some light in the "Olympic Games at home" and rush to the goal of "world brand". Before the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, when the thick Wenzhou people stood beside Liu Xiang and spoke "2008, watching China's footsteps" in less standard Putonghua, AOKANG's brand had already appeared to the world.
In order to make full use of the potential, Wang Zhentao started a bit "ruthless": from winning the qualification of Olympic leather suppliers to a series of promotional activities later, invited Liu Xiang as spokesperson and Olympic advertising investment, and invested more than 300 million yuan before and after. The average price of a pair of shoes is 300 yuan, which is equivalent to selling 1 million pairs of shoes. Generally speaking, after the Olympic Games sponsor qualification, the enterprise's follow-up investment is about 3 times that of the former, and AOKANG has actually far exceeded this proportion.
"Although it is not possible to recover this investment in the short term, the survey released by China Brand Research Institute last year shows that our brand reputation is rising.
