This week is officially begging of D11 shopping festival on Tue., which is called “a good start”, that was started from 8pm on Oct. 31th until 12pm on Nov. 3rd finished.
But unfortunately, this time, we got a lot of decreased about more than 50%,whatever JD.com, Taobao.com and PDD, expressed same situations. Because we stopped distribution through JD.com and no longer allowed brushed fake orders in Taobao.com and PDD. Only one thing could be delighted, that was we got a much high speeds growths in Douyin APP, approximate double times.
This performance made me a lot of pressure, because this is my first time as a coordinator of such a big promotion campaign in our company. So, I certainly hope we can get a excellent results, but the facts was opposite. Although my boss gave me a forecast which was this D11 will face a big challenge, he was unhappy with this performances, due to cliff drop.
The more important is the market share of our competitors was over than us, that made us very embarrassed and shamed obviously, because we always is the Top1 brand in our industry. But this quarter we have to ensure profits and margins is much important than get volume or revenue, so we felt a little bit helpless. Certainly, I believe we could improve in somehow areas or points as well, but now, it seems too late.
Under such pressure, next week become very crucial, because the Sat. is end of D11, the final battle, so we must do our best in these days.
However, for the ecommerce business, firstly we need calm down and analyst situation, and then we find opportunities. Necessary we could search and purchase enough traffics and display position in website.
In fact, we could get a big chance which is influencer promote our products in live streaming. But my boss doesn’t like it, he believes this way just get a short-term result. So, it’s a pity, wish me have good luck in next week.
