The Price Of Domestic Brand Clothing Is &Nbsp.

The price of mainland brand clothing has risen fiercely. The industry says that the pricing strategy is the main reason.

What has pushed up the clothing prices of domestic brands? Sale People will tell you, "raw materials and labor costs are rising." But this is only a superficial phenomenon. clothing Cost price accounts for most. Price 30%. There are other reasons why domestic brand clothing prices go up too bad.

Phenomenon scanning

The price of clothing is rising every year, and it is two or three more expensive this autumn.

Yesterday, many shopping malls in Guangzhou autumn and winter clothing sales area customers. According to incomplete statistics, the sales of autumn and winter sales of nearly ten main businesses increased by more than 30% over the past 4 days.

Laments to reporters that the price of clothing is too high for consumers. Zhang Jin, a citizen of the Republic of China, said that a famous Korean brand this year was priced at 3980 yuan for a long coat, compared with 3000 yuan last year.

"I want to buy a pair of autumn shoes, but when I look at the price tag, most of them are priced at more than 1000 yuan. I remember buying a pair of single shoes 700 yuan the year before. I have to wait until half off. Miss Li complained, "if I go up so much, I will not give up without hitting half off."

According to the press survey, the clothing of the general brand in the shopping mall is still mainly based on three figures. Now it is not uncommon to pick up an unremarkable thin wool sweater. The price tag is over 1000 yuan. Insiders told reporters that the average autumn and winter clothing increased by about 20% over the same period last year. "In recent years, the price of footwear, men's wear and children's clothing has almost doubled, and the increase of women's wear is around 60%."

Mr. Chen, who often shops in Hongkong, is surprised. He said that the clothing of mainland brands has risen fiercely, which is close to the price of international high-end brands in Europe and the United States. "In Guangzhou, men's shirts priced at 1000 yuan can be found everywhere, but the shirts of the international first-line brand BURBERRY (Burberry) are almost the same price in Hongkong, which is really baffling."

Cause analysis

Put on the "foreign coat" immediately doubled the price.

What are the reasons for boosting the price of clothing and footwear? Are raw material procurement, labor cost and finished product pricing?

Reporters interviewed many people in the industry, they agreed that in recent years, the cost of clothing has indeed risen sharply. A well-known clothing factory owner, who did not want to be named, told reporters that over the past two or three years, the cost of labor and raw materials has risen by more than 40%. However, the general manager of a famous department store told reporters that costumes cost 30% of the price tag.

Huang Wenjie, executive director of Guangdong provincial Circulation Industry Association, dissected the price composition of the costumes for journalists. A clothing price tag 1/3 belongs to the manufacturer, and the profit of the manufacturer can reach half. That is to say, a dress, only the price tag 1/5 ~ 1/6 is the cost price. "After entering the stage of brand agents, prices began to soar. The rest of 1/3 belongs to wholesalers or agents, but manufacturers of direct businesses also own this part, and retail channel costs occupy the final 1/3.

In order to open up the market, many clothing brands will try their best to enter department stores. Most of the domestic department stores carry out the joint deductions, that is, the price is deducted from a certain number of points to the department store. Reporters learned that the current domestic department store's deduction point is 15%~35%, and the specific points depend on the strength of the department store and the strength of the brand.

Huang Huajun, President of the first commercial network, pointed out that one of the reasons why the price of clothing had risen in recent years was directed at the discount promotions frequently held in the market. "In the past, there were at most two depth promotions in one quarter, but now, once a month, it is normal to promote sales in depth, and the discount can be as low as 77% off. All these require brand suppliers to make profits, but the wool can only be raised in sheep, and suppliers can only raise the original price.

The more important reason is the pricing strategy of clothing brand. "There is another reason for the sharp rise in domestic clothing prices. In recent years, domestic clothing brands are competing for high-end routes, and prices are beginning to be in line with international standards." Huang Wenjie said that many domestic producers have been buying or registering foreign brands abroad, in order to raise their value, and package themselves into foreign brands. According to conservative estimates, about 30% of the clothing brands in department stores are "fake foreign brands". Insiders also revealed that in recent years, clothing brands have taken the high-end line, which is closely related to the guidance of department stores. In pursuit of higher profits, shopping malls are more interested in high priced high-end brands.

Worth pondering

The gap between price and international standards is not small.

Price and international connection, quality and design can be synchronized? Reporter survey found that many clothing enterprises do not have enough effort in quality, which also makes consumers care about cost-effective consumers are very disgusted. Huang told reporters: "ten years ago, 100 yuan can buy good quality clothes, but now I bought a thousand yuan of clothes, wear a pocket on the split."

Mr Wu said that in the past few years, it would also spend a high price on buying fake foreign brands, but later came into contact with many famous international brands, and found that the prices of these fake foreign brands were almost the same as those of the international brands, but the quality and style were not as good as those of others. Now, if you have the chance to travel to Hongkong, you will buy many first-line brand clothes, and you will not buy more fake foreign brands than in the mainland. "If you don't work hard in quality and style, you just want to pursue high prices. I believe that with the improvement of people's awareness of foreign brands, more and more people will realize that fake foreign brands are not worth the price." Mr. Wu thinks.

Huang Wenjie, executive director of Guangdong provincial Circulation Industry Association, also said that the quality and design of domestic clothing brands need to be improved. "The domestic garment industry should create a spanition from China to China, and rely on design and quality to gain wide market and higher profit margins."
