< p > from the first quarter earnings of listed department stores, it can also reflect the depression of the whole retail industry.

According to iFinD data, 14 companies in the 21 listed companies of Shenyang Wanguo department store have a negative growth in the first quarter, and the net profits of the 13 enterprises are also beginning to grow negatively.

Due to the oppression of performance, the expansion of the store, Guangzhou friendship and so on also slowed down the pace of opening shop.

In order to boost the performance, the traditional retail sales promotion in the past years has already been launched in advance. < p >

Zhang Xiaoyang, deputy promotion manager of APM, Beijing (Beijing store), said that in the past year, summer promotions had been advanced from August to June.

This year, summer promotions are expected to start in June and will not be postponed.

< p > because the two quarter belongs to the festival gap period, traditional retailers begin to attract customers through intensive activities to stimulate sales.

According to Zhang Xiaoyang, Beijing APM will stimulate consumers to shop through the linkage of retailers and catering brands.

Shopping malls will provide customers with "gourmet passports" or meal vouchers for customers to get a free dish.

Consumers will also be able to add other dishes when they are free of dishes, which is also a pull for catering businesses.

Prior to this, Beijing APM will also jointly launch a number of "a shoes" _blank "href=" http://www.91se91.com/ "shoes" /a "brand" brand launch activities during the same period.

Zhang Xiaoyang said that due to the Nike shopping mall adjustment last year, the performance was affected.

Shortly before P, hundreds of Duo A dream dolls visited the Chaoyang (Chaoyang monopoly store) Joy City's passenger flow and sales.

Wen Juan, deputy director of the Promotion Department of Chaoyang Joy City, said that the mall will preheat the balloon festival in June 1st a week in advance.

This year's children's day will be more special, not only for children, family groups, shopping malls will also be regarded as a "high".

Wen Juan said that last year's "balloon festival" broke the record of passenger traffic during the opening period. This year, the shopping mall will seize this opportunity to launch the biggest buying and selling activities.

It is estimated that there will be 110 thousand -12 passengers and sales will also increase significantly.

< p > < strong > turning point is difficult to show < /strong > < /p >.

< p > the depressed retail environment has enabled the mall to gain consumers' attention through various ways.

Traditional shopping malls, which sell mainly commodities, have become showrooms, theatres and playgrounds.

Due to the diversity of formats and business combinations, shopping centers have a wide range of activities to be used, and intensive marketing activities have a significant effect on passenger flow and sales.

However, the relatively narrow department stores talk about the turning point of performance is not so easy.

< /p >

"P" consumers have become numb to the long drawn front and sales promotion strategy used in department stores, while sales promotion has reduced the gross profit rate of goods and has become limited to sales pull.

In the industry's view, compared to the off-season sales in July and August, the two quarter is the relatively low season of the industry, with fewer bright spots of growth, and the turning point is hard to define.

Industry analysts believe that last year, the strong pull of gold and jewelry sales increased significantly, but this year has been off the track of rapid growth of gold jewelry weakness, the overall sales contribution is not optimistic.

< p > for the department store industry, < a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > clothing < /a > a target= "_blank" href= "_blank" > shoes and hats "sales" is still hard to get rid of, the pulling effect of this sector is not yet recovered, and can not become the main driving force for growth.

In the short term, the market is not sensitive to the pformation of enterprises' full channels, and traditional retail enterprises have less chance of rebound in the two quarter.
