Electricity providers and fast fashion clothes hit the nail on the head.

"The essence of fast fashion is speed and profit." Yang Dayun, President of UTA Fashion Management Group, once said that for fast fashion as a fast fashion industry, fast and changing is the key word to win.

"E-commerce has natural advantages in this respect." Cao Lei, director of the China e-Business Research Center, said: "fashion changes require garment companies to track the market in real time, anticipate changes in customer needs, respond quickly to customer requirements, and e-commerce, through user interest survey and customer feedback information collection, provides a low-cost technological means for enterprises to achieve this goal."

Electricity providers help apparel industry breakthrough

In 2011, the export situation of China's textile and garment industry is still complex. The pressure of RMB appreciation and the rising cost of labor, raw materials and fuel power and other factors, such as the weak economic growth in developed countries such as Europe and the United States, and the sluggish consumption, all affect the export orders of China's textile and apparel industry.

A report from the China Textile regulator Center said that the current export growth rate dropped by 17% compared to the first half of 2011.

The disadvantage of the export environment caused many garment enterprises to reduce export orders and difficulties in operation, so the traditional clothing enterprises began to change, and the transformation of marketing mode became the first step for enterprises to change their management strategies. More and more enterprises are gradually starting their own "brand" from the original "OEM", hoping to rely on the booming electricity supplier to find a way to break through.

Cao Yi, general manager of garment factory, told reporters that it is also a good choice for traditional clothing enterprises to make good use of e-commerce platforms such as Alibaba and Taobao in the early stage. It is understood that before the promotion of clothing "OEM", after years of development, last year began to run its own clothing brand. "At this stage, we are going to walk on two legs" OEM + brand ", and will continue for a period of time. Cao Yi said.

Reporters learned that similar methods of clothing enterprises are still in the minority. Insiders said that in fact, these export enterprises have some advantages in doing business themselves. Generally speaking, the quality of export products is good in itself, and enterprises own their own production factories. What they need is to train a professional e-commerce marketing team.
