Coping with high tactics

Do not pursue famous brand to be happy "Tao Qiao clan".

"Guangzhou's top wholesale market distribution center, so good resources do not make use of, much waste!" Lily loves beautiful, often wears new clothes to go to work can arouse colleagues envy, do not know that she is a "rich two generation".

But Lily told reporters that her clothes were not expensive, many of them were recovered from the wholesale market, and the actual combat ability of the bargain was not raised.

Lily said that although the clothing in the wholesale market is also expensive this year, there are hundreds of thousands of brands in the market, and the cost performance of the former is much higher.

"At the railway station, there is a big clothing city like white horse, one horse, red cotton and so on.

Cheaper than shopping malls, the style is also very tight.

On the west side of the road, there are many shoe cities. Apart from having big brands to buy plates, a lot of them are also made out of the list. Three hundred or four hundred pieces of leather boots can be made, and at least a thousand of them can enter the shopping mall.

Lily said clothing city will also clear goods during the season, holidays and the end of the year.

And the shoe city of Zhan Xi Road recommends that it should be more careful, because there may be inferior products mixed together to sell, the goods are better than the three ones.

Back to the past

In 1949, the per capita expenditure of clothing, consumption and family in the whole country was only 6.5 yuan.

"Lacking clothes and wearing less" is a true portrayal of the situation at that time.

Since September 1954, cotton cloth has been supplied by the whole country on the basis of "cloth ticket".

The southern town has a population of 7 feet and 4 inches per person in a year, about two or three cents a foot. In the 60s of last century, the material shortage was reflected in clothing: "the new three years, the old three years, sewing and making up for three years."

In the mid 70s of last century, dacron appeared on the market.

At that time, the shirt was 8 yuan / piece, and the material was 4.29 yuan / meter.

I would like to have a tailor made at home, 6-7 yuan / piece.

In 1981, the per capita clothing consumption expenditure of Chinese cities was 67.56 yuan, rising to 1042 yuan in 2007.

2011, shoes and clothing must be increased.

Some listed companies have already heard the news of rising prices at the order meeting.

Mei Bang apparel said that the price of order products increased by 5% in the spring of 2011, which was lower than that of comparable clothing companies. The average price of shoes and clothing products increased by 4% and 9% respectively in the spring and summer order meeting in 2011; the 2011 quarter of the financial year second, the average retail price of clothing and shoes rose by more than 8%; Lining said that the price of new clothing will increase by 10%-20% next spring and summer, and the president of the seven wolves, Zhou Shaoxiong, also said that all clothing products will rise in price next year, or up to 10%-20%.

Clothing or up 20%

The rise of clothing prices in 2011 is still a period of increasing the cost of digestion in 2010. The price increase is less than 20% within a reasonable range.

In 2011, the possibility of rising cotton prices, the rigid demand of market consumption, excess liquidity and high inflation have decided that the rise of cotton prices in this round has a solid support. The cotton price above 25 thousand yuan / ton is the embodiment of normal supply and demand in the market, and the rise of rigid cost. However, to 30 thousand yuan / ton is basically a window of policy regulation.

He further said that in fact, the cost of raw materials for domestic clothing brands accounted for about 30%, and the cost of intermediate links was very heavy. Whether the price could be raised smoothly depends on the supply and demand situation of the market.

At present, the supply of clothing market is still ample, and it is in a state of oversupply. Therefore, price adjustment will go to polarization.
