< p > for the current situation of department stores, Huang Wenjie, executive director of Guangdong Provincial General Chamber of Commerce, said that the national department stores are facing challenges.

The development of department stores is very long. From the liberation to the early 90s of last century, the development of department stores was very good and loved by the people.

But in recent years, there are more and more department stores, and the competition in the same industry is also large. It is also affected by the electricity supplier, and the consumption habits of the new generation are also changing, which brings challenges to the department stores.

< /p >

< p > at the same time, the overall environment and economy are not prosperous enough, which also affects the sales of department stores.

On the other hand, frugality has led some institutions to reduce the issuance of shopping prepaid cards. "In the past, the consumption of shopping cards could reach 25% to 30% of the sales volume of a department store. Now the shrinkage has reached over 50%, that is, the consumption of the original recharge card can only be maintained between 10% and 15%, and this will further shrink in the future."

< p > for the introduction of food and beverage industry in department stores, Huang Wenjie thinks that Guangzhou's catering culture enjoys a good reputation throughout the country. The introduction of food and beverage can play a certain role in stimulating the popularity of department stores. But he also reminds us that when importing food and beverage formats, we should pay attention to avoiding homogenization and showing their distinctive brands as early as possible, so as to stabilize customers and popularity in the long run.

< /p >

< p > he suggested that the traditional department stores should develop towards the new comprehensive shopping center, and the content should be more abundant. In addition to having food and drink and other forms of business, and avoiding homogenization, we should add more experiential and interactive features.

< /p >

"P > next, the retail trade proportion of department stores will still occupy the main, but it should be downgraded and introduced a more rich format, at the same time, it will set out its own characteristics and launch the brand.

It is easy to encounter new difficulties if we simply go from pure department stores to shopping centers without avoiding homogenization.
