NetEase Yanxuan, which once only targeted the \"new middle class,\" now boasts a reflection of Generation Z, the main consumer force heading towards the future. Despite efforts to cater, the current situation remains awkward.</p><p>Today, amidst the tide of consumption upgrading, the \"new middle class\" has higher demands on brands and is no longer willing to pay for high-quality counterfeit Putian goods and terrible after-sales service.</p><p>Generation Z, who call for \"lying flat\" and are unwilling to be swept up in the traditional sense of \"consumerism,\" has long disdained the title of \"new middle class\" and is more easily attracted to personalized original and innovative consumer brands than to strictly select such \"OEM brands.\"</p><p>Therefore, in order to survive, NetEase Yanxuan, while aggressively expanding into lower-tier cities through various affordable products and \"Pinduoduo\"-style red envelope schemes, also went so far as to bring in CEO Ding Lei to endorse its various original brands, trying to bring back the increasingly distant \"new middle class\" and Generation Z, whose spending power is constantly upgrading...</p><p>And this is more difficult than imagined.</p><p><b>Those from Putian can't afford the \"good life\" that the new middle class wants.</b></p><p>\"Living in first- and second-tier cities, I have certain consumption insights, value spiritual enhancement and satisfaction, pay attention to quality of life, and pursue self-worth.\"</p><p>This is a profile of NetEase Yanxuan's target users at its inception. In short, it is the so-called \"new middle class\".</p><p>This is indeed a considerable \"market\". According to data from Huxiu.com, the total number of new middle class users in China is currently 33.2 million, while Wu Xiaobo's \"2019 New Middle Class White Paper\" shows that the size and consumption scale of China's new middle class user group are expected to reach 450 million by 2029. However, setting goals well does not mean that NetEase Yanxuan is definitely achievable.</p><p>With the slogan \"A good life isn't that expensive\" and claiming that its products come from major brands like Muji or Samsonite, NetEase Yanxuan indeed gained a lot of attention shortly after its establishment. After all, for the new middle class who have limited economic resources but still want to maintain a certain \"prestige,\" this seems to be an extremely \"cost-effective\" option.</p><p>This was a common path for high-end e-commerce at the time—focusing on \"ODM with Chinese characteristics,\" finding the same manufacturer through \"OEM production,\" making simple modifications to the design, and then selling it through their own channels at a price that was even half that of genuine brands.</p><p>“When NetEase Yanxuan first appeared, I did often browse it and was happy to pay for some of the daily necessities it promoted. For example, towels and sheets made by the same manufacturer as Muji, or milk pots made of the same material as Zwilling.” Jiang Yuru is 27 years old and works at an internet company in Chengdu. When Jiang Yuru first graduated from university, she was a loyal user of NetEase Yanxuan. For someone who was just entering the workforce and had high demands for quality of life, but found it difficult to afford the high premiums of famous brands, \"NetEase Yanxuan's products are not big brands, but they are not bad.\"</p><p>\"Jiang Yuru\" and others briefly propelled NetEase Yanxuan into the spotlight.</p><p><b>However, NetEase Yanxuan overlooked one point—Jiang Yuru and others mostly only trusted daily necessities with low prices and low repurchase rates.</b></p><p>The reason behind this is that over the past 20 years, the per capita disposable income of Chinese families has increased year by year, the family structure has continued to shrink, people's consumption level has increased, and a trend of \"consumption upgrading\" has emerged, with people willing to spend more money to accept the premium of goods.</p><p>Therefore, NetEase Yanxuan targets the \"new middle class\" who, on the one hand, treat the mundane necessities that must be solved with the concept of \"high cost-effectiveness,\" while on the other hand, they still retain their expectations for \"big brands\" in products such as clothing, cosmetics, and electronics. At the very least, they are unwilling to pay for products that can be spotted at a glance.</p><p>However, when you open NetEase Yanxuan, you often see \"Coconut\" shoes directly labeled as coming from \"Putian,\" priced around 200 yuan, and so-called blogger recommendations that also claim that the brand manufacturer \"has maintained a long-term good cooperative relationship with well-known sports brands.\"</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5f118bc9e648532d3412d0861c6ce6d8\" tg-width=\"839\" tg-height=\"629\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Putian shoes have become a \"global top product\" for NetEase Yanxuan.</p><p>In response, Jiang Yuru's attitude is, \"I'd rather save more money to buy the original version than buy an original niche brand if all else fails.\"</p><p>This is not simply a matter of \"face-saving,\" but rather because, in the eyes of the new middle class \"Jiang Yuru\" and others, this does not align with their lifestyle and consumption attitudes. \"The plagiarism and counterfeiting behind Putian are clearly not the good life we want.\"</p><p>Tommy, 29, lives in Shanghai. He relies mostly on overseas shopping for clothes and occasionally uses NetEase Yanxuan for daily necessities. “We save money where we can, and we absolutely won’t save money where we can’t,” Tommy told Zinc Scale. Like Jiang Yuru, he feels that NetEase Yanxuan’s home textiles, socks, and underwear can be bought occasionally, while clothing, cosmetics, and maternity and baby products should be bought from big brands or more professional brands.</p><p>Aside from the much-criticized Putian products, their product quality control and after-sales service also fall short of the new middle class's imagination of a better life. On a Zhihu page titled \"How is NetEase Yanxuan?\", consumers complained about Yanxuan's product quality and after-sales service, as well as the huge gap between seller reviews and buyer reviews. This meme, which was initially overused on the Taobao platform, has been recreated on a platform that focuses on quality.</p><p><b>Therefore, it is difficult for NetEase Yanxuan to favor the new middle class by selling the same items from big brands, and it is also difficult for NetEase Yanxuan to make money by simply selling daily necessities with low repurchase rates.</b></p><p>The data clearly demonstrates this point—since 2018, NetEase Yanxuan's target of 20 billion yuan in GMV has been far from being achieved. In 2018, its e-commerce business (NetEase Koala and NetEase Yanxuan) achieved 19.235 billion yuan, with a year-on-year growth rate of 64.8%.</p><p>In September 2019, NetEase Koala was sold to Alibaba, and Liu Xiaogang, general manager of the Yanxuan Business Unit, resigned. NetEase Yanxuan was also incorporated into innovative enterprises and other businesses because it \"accounts for a very small proportion of the company's total revenue\".</p><p><b>\"Trying to tell an original story just by putting up a sign\"—the old tricks won't fool young people.</b></p><p>NetEase Yanxuan is not unaware that it will be difficult for it to reach the level of MUJI as a national brand in Japan, and the new middle class will find it difficult to continue paying for that \"big brand same style\" narrative system. Therefore, NetEase Yanxuan began to turn its attention to the future new middle class, namely Generation Z.</p><p>From launching the independent brand \"Black Pineapple\" series to launching the adult sex brand \"Spring Breeze\", NetEase Yanxuan seems to hope to attract Generation Z, who do not pursue \"brand symbol value\" but favor brand stories and individuality, by telling original brand stories.</p><p>Ideals are good, but NetEase Yanxuan has \"slacked off\" on the road to realizing them.</p><p>\"Although Yanxuan has been closely following the preferences of young people, such as products like low-alcohol liquor and small appliances, while they appear original, they are actually still playing the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) game. This is clearly not the domestic trend or niche brand that Generation Z wants,\" an industry insider pointed out. If you understand Generation Z's preferences a little, you can find that their pursuit of niche and domestic trend brands often lies in the story behind the brand, from original design to the story of the brand's establishment and development, etc. \"Compared to OEM products, they are more willing to accompany a truly original small brand to grow.\"</p><p>The thoughts of Jiaojiao, a post-00s generation, confirmed the observations of the aforementioned industry insiders: \"It's clearly just a label, while NetEase Yanxuan still emphasizes that it is original. In fact, it has no brand connotation or story at all. To put it bluntly, it just wants to make a profit from the price difference.\"</p><p>Jiaojiao gave an example: she once saw a bottle of so-called \"new concept sake\" osmanthus sparkling sake on NetEase Yanxuan. It was priced at 88 yuan and claimed to be NetEase Yanxuan's own brand. She even endorsed and recommended it with NetEase CEO Ding Lei. \"I drank three bottles of hot pot.\"</p><p>However, when Jiaojiao traced the origin to the manufacturer of this bottle of wine, \"Suzhou Bridge,\" and then did a casual search, she found that the same product from the original manufacturer cost less than 50 yuan, while the wholesale price could be as low as about 30 yuan. \"The ingredients and size are the same, it's just that the label on the bottle is different.\"<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/aa6f075306f08a085a1cb107edd05319\" tg-width=\"988\" tg-height=\"741\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">The sake brands recommended by Ding Lei are overpriced.</p><p>This is not an isolated case. Ding Lei also recommended a 198-gram self-operated brand of canned lunch meat during NetEase Yanxuan's \"Best-Selling Products\" during the \"6.18\" shopping festival, priced at 19.9 yuan. A search for the same product from the original manufacturer revealed that the 340g version was only priced at 15 yuan. Putting on a NetEase Yanxuan sign reduces the quantity by half, but the price is nearly a third higher. \"Is the NetEase Yanxuan brand worth such a premium?\" In the end, Jiaojiao turned her head and chose an original women's wine brand, even though the price was more expensive than NetEase Yanxuan.</p><p>This clearly contradicts NetEase Yanxuan's previous new expectations for itself, which were \"not e-commerce, but a brand\". In fact, over the years, the impact of the phrase \"NetEase Yanxuan\" on the minds of young users has been very vague, and to a large extent, it is \"neither an e-commerce platform nor a brand\".</p><p>Many new consumer brands rose rapidly during this period. They use a DTC marketing model that directly faces consumers, focusing more on brand building and fan management in niche product categories. Through communities, content, live streaming and other means, they have formed a stronger vertical product seeding model and won the favor of young people.</p><p>Young people like Jiaojiao are happy to pay for this, and it has made many new brands popular. During the 2020 Tmall Double Eleven shopping festival, new consumer brands that have been on Tmall for less than three years, such as 59 Seconds in the disinfection machine category, Pineapple Jun in the fascia gun category, and Biba Baby in the diaper category, achieved 357 category firsts in a single day.</p><p><b>But looking back, NetEase Yanxuan is still playing the same old trick, at most changing the gimmick—replacing the same products from big brands with \"CEO Recommendations\" or \"NetEase Employee Selected Products,\" which are obviously unlikely to create a close connection with users.</b></p><p>For this reason, products such as \"Hour Light Baijiu\" and \"Mushroom Instant Cooker\" that NetEase Yanxuan has been promoting in recent years did not actually become bestsellers at that time.</p><p>As the New Consumption Research Institute previously wrote, \"Although NetEase Yanxuan and others rely on large platforms to enjoy shade, they have still been knocked out by a group of newcomers. After all, the new consumption environment no longer needs so many online versions of Miniso... With more rational and diversified consumption demands, it may not be so easy to get young people to pay for overly packaged quality concepts.\"</p><p>Although NetEase Yanxuan App added the \"Xuanxiang\" community on June 9, which focuses on \"sharing differences together and discovering more life options\" and guides users to share their life dynamics on the App in an attempt to strengthen their connection with young people, it seems to have come somewhat late.</p><p><b>Want to learn from Pinduoduo by offering low prices and cashback, but \"can't afford to play\"?</b></p><p>Telling original stories didn't work very well, but NetEase Yanxuan didn't give up and continued to save itself, such as following Pinduoduo's tactics and expanding into lower-tier cities.</p><p>First, they launched a full refund campaign for newcomers' first order. Initially, it was a \"red envelope refund,\" but now it's a \"balance refund.\" In short, the amount refunded to users must still be used on NetEase Yanxuan.</p><p><b>This event did attract many new users to NetEase Yanxuan, but the retention rate was not necessarily high. After all, if you open social media platforms such as Zhihu and Weibo, you can see many complaints about NetEase Yanxuan being \"unaffordable\".</b></p><p>When asked, \"Is NetEase Yanxuan's full refund on the first order for newcomers a scam?\", one of the highly liked users replied, \"After spending 78 yuan to buy a barrel of cooking oil, I received two coupons for 39 yuan back from the platform. However, I had to spend 56 yuan or more to use them, and some items were not covered. I thought 56 - 39 = 17 would be a good deal, so I went to see what to buy. But I found that all items required spending 99 yuan or more to get free shipping. So, adding the shipping costs, the two coupons effectively only gave me a 29 yuan discount.\" Of course, you can enjoy the full discount as long as you reach 99, which will inadvertently lead to more spending. I don't know if this oil is any good, but I returned it right away and bought a well-known brand on Taobao instead.</p><p>There are many more such cases. Many consumers placed orders because of the word \"cashback,\" but after receiving the coupons, they found that \"you can use them, but there are many barriers to entry,\" and in the end, they didn't get much of a discount. The current \"balance refund\" campaign is also a \"new bottle of old wine\". According to the platform's rules, \"the balance returned to the account cannot be withdrawn by the supporter, but can be automatically deducted when placing an order, with a maximum deduction of 30% of the order amount.\"<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fc658684d616a2798ae5caceb0e26185\" tg-width=\"1080\" tg-height=\"809\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">On one hand, there are coupons that go viral, and on the other hand, there are tricks.</p><p>Zhang Ru, who once purchased an annual membership for NetEase Yanxuan pro, felt that \"Yanxuan has too many discount tricks.\" Zhang Ru said, \"I originally thought it was a good deal that members could frequently claim coupons, but I found that I often couldn't make payments using coupons.\"</p><p>This has also been verified on social media platforms such as Zhihu. One user said, \"I just received a 20 off coupon for every 21 yuan spent, and I excitedly scraped together 30 yuan to find that I couldn't pay. But for the same thing, if I don't use the coupon, it will go directly to the Alipay payment interface. It's a typical example of something I can't afford.\"</p><p><b>On the other hand, NetEase Yanxuan's \"welfare fan group\" is flooded with coupon information every day, which shows that Yanxuan wants to compete for market share through low-price discount strategies and community marketing. However, whether it was its low-price strategy or its community marketing, NetEase Yanxuan came too late and was not sincere enough.</b></p><p>\"After all, low prices don't align with Yanxuan's previous positioning and brand image, especially since Pinduoduo has already made coupons and cashback so popular. And creating a community isn't about simply posting coupons every day to increase user stickiness. Yanxuan obviously came too late and wasn't serious enough,\" an industry insider pointed out. \"NetEase Yanxuan is now more like a desperate attempt to seek remedies haphazardly.\"</p><p>In fact, NetEase Yanxuan had launched a 9.9 super value zone even earlier. In the special zone, Yanxuan has selected 180 best-selling products for repricing, providing consumers with the ultimate cost-effectiveness. This move sparked a strong backlash from long-time NetEase users at the time—Yanxuan has always been positioned in the mid-to-high-end market, and in the eyes of consumers, the 9.9 yuan special offer seemed to lower the platform's image.</p><p>NetEase Yanxuan, however, seems not to have learned its lesson and is going further and further down the path of deviating from its positioning.</p><p><b>The more you struggle, the harder it is to save yourself.</b></p><p>“Today, most consumers still pursue cost-effectiveness, but when the cost-effectiveness is similar, more and more people will choose brands that align with their philosophy. Moreover, these brands need to consistently convey their philosophy for a long time, making consumers believe that their philosophy is real and not created for profit,” Ma Zichun, deputy director of research at market research consulting firm Mintel, pointed out in an interview with Jiemian.</p><p>However, although NetEase Yanxuan is still \"tinkering,\" its footprints are becoming increasingly chaotic. For users, the ever-changing brand philosophy has made its form increasingly blurred.</p><p>On the one hand, the deeper it goes, the further it becomes from its initial users, the \"new middle class\"; On the other hand, the more emphasis is placed on its original brand, the less Generation Z is willing to pay for its premium.</p><p>Especially according to media reports, this year, with the total amount of retail goods declining, consumption concepts are becoming increasingly polarized. On one side, consumers are spending huge sums to buy big brands and paying a premium for the added value of brands. As a result, the price increases of luxury brands are still becoming more and more aggressive this year. On the other hand, there is a complete pursuit of low prices, with wholesale goods from Taobao, Pinduoduo, and even 1688 attracting a lot of attention.</p><p>Against this backdrop, NetEase Yanxuan has been in trouble for a long time—not because there is no market, but because there is no longer a market that belongs to \"Yanxuan\".

Despite efforts to cater, the current situation remains awkward.</p><p>Today, amidst the tide of consumption upgrading, the \"new middle class\" has higher demands on brands and is no longer willing to pay for high-quality counterfeit Putian goods and terrible after-sales service.</p><p>Generation Z, who call for \"lying flat\" and are unwilling to be swept up in the traditional sense of \"consumerism,\" has long disdained the title of \"new middle class\" and is more easily attracted to personalized original and innovative consumer brands than to strictly select such \"OEM brands.\"</p><p>Therefore, in order to survive, NetEase Yanxuan, while aggressively expanding into lower-tier cities through various affordable products and \"Pinduoduo\"-style red envelope schemes, also went so far as to bring in CEO Ding Lei to endorse its various original brands, trying to bring back the increasingly distant \"new middle class\" and Generation Z, whose spending power is constantly upgrading...</p><p>And this is more difficult than imagined.</p><p><b>Those from Putian can't afford the \"good life\" that the new middle class wants.</b></p><p>\"Living in first- and second-tier cities, I have certain consumption insights, value spiritual enhancement and satisfaction, pay attention to quality of life, and pursue self-worth.\"</p><p>This is a profile of NetEase Yanxuan's target users at its inception. In short, it is the so-called \"new middle class\".</p><p>This is indeed a considerable \"market\". According to data from Huxiu.com, the total number of new middle class users in China is currently 33.2 million, while Wu Xiaobo's \"2019 New Middle Class White Paper\" shows that the size and consumption scale of China's new middle class user group are expected to reach 450 million by 2029. However, setting goals well does not mean that NetEase Yanxuan is definitely achievable.</p><p>With the slogan \"A good life isn't that expensive\" and claiming that its products come from major brands like Muji or Samsonite, NetEase Yanxuan indeed gained a lot of attention shortly after its establishment. After all, for the new middle class who have limited economic resources but still want to maintain a certain \"prestige,\" this seems to be an extremely \"cost-effective\" option.</p><p>This was a common path for high-end e-commerce at the time—focusing on \"ODM with Chinese characteristics,\" finding the same manufacturer through \"OEM production,\" making simple modifications to the design, and then selling it through their own channels at a price that was even half that of genuine brands.</p><p>“When NetEase Yanxuan first appeared, I did often browse it and was happy to pay for some of the daily necessities it promoted. For example, towels and sheets made by the same manufacturer as Muji, or milk pots made of the same material as Zwilling.” Jiang Yuru is 27 years old and works at an internet company in Chengdu. When Jiang Yuru first graduated from university, she was a loyal user of NetEase Yanxuan. For someone who was just entering the workforce and had high demands for quality of life, but found it difficult to afford the high premiums of famous brands, \"NetEase Yanxuan's products are not big brands, but they are not bad.\"</p><p>\"Jiang Yuru\" and others briefly propelled NetEase Yanxuan into the spotlight.</p><p><b>However, NetEase Yanxuan overlooked one point—Jiang Yuru and others mostly only trusted daily necessities with low prices and low repurchase rates.</b></p><p>The reason behind this is that over the past 20 years, the per capita disposable income of Chinese families has increased year by year, the family structure has continued to shrink, people's consumption level has increased, and a trend of \"consumption upgrading\" has emerged, with people willing to spend more money to accept the premium of goods.</p><p>Therefore, NetEase Yanxuan targets the \"new middle class\" who, on the one hand, treat the mundane necessities that must be solved with the concept of \"high cost-effectiveness,\" while on the other hand, they still retain their expectations for \"big brands\" in products such as clothing, cosmetics, and electronics. At the very least, they are unwilling to pay for products that can be spotted at a glance.</p><p>However, when you open NetEase Yanxuan, you often see \"Coconut\" shoes directly labeled as coming from \"Putian,\" priced around 200 yuan, and so-called blogger recommendations that also claim that the brand manufacturer \"has maintained a long-term good cooperative relationship with well-known sports brands.\"</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5f118bc9e648532d3412d0861c6ce6d8\" tg-width=\"839\" tg-height=\"629\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Putian shoes have become a \"global top product\" for NetEase Yanxuan.</p><p>In response, Jiang Yuru's attitude is, \"I'd rather save more money to buy the original version than buy an original niche brand if all else fails.\"</p><p>This is not simply a matter of \"face-saving,\" but rather because, in the eyes of the new middle class \"Jiang Yuru\" and others, this does not align with their lifestyle and consumption attitudes. \"The plagiarism and counterfeiting behind Putian are clearly not the good life we want.\"</p><p>Tommy, 29, lives in Shanghai. He relies mostly on overseas shopping for clothes and occasionally uses NetEase Yanxuan for daily necessities. “We save money where we can, and we absolutely won’t save money where we can’t,” Tommy told Zinc Scale. Like Jiang Yuru, he feels that NetEase Yanxuan’s home textiles, socks, and underwear can be bought occasionally, while clothing, cosmetics, and maternity and baby products should be bought from big brands or more professional brands.</p><p>Aside from the much-criticized Putian products, their product quality control and after-sales service also fall short of the new middle class's imagination of a better life. On a Zhihu page titled \"How is NetEase Yanxuan?\", consumers complained about Yanxuan's product quality and after-sales service, as well as the huge gap between seller reviews and buyer reviews. This meme, which was initially overused on the Taobao platform, has been recreated on a platform that focuses on quality.</p><p><b>Therefore, it is difficult for NetEase Yanxuan to favor the new middle class by selling the same items from big brands, and it is also difficult for NetEase Yanxuan to make money by simply selling daily necessities with low repurchase rates.</b></p><p>The data clearly demonstrates this point—since 2018, NetEase Yanxuan's target of 20 billion yuan in GMV has been far from being achieved. In 2018, its e-commerce business (NetEase Koala and NetEase Yanxuan) achieved 19.235 billion yuan, with a year-on-year growth rate of 64.8%.</p><p>In September 2019, NetEase Koala was sold to Alibaba, and Liu Xiaogang, general manager of the Yanxuan Business Unit, resigned. NetEase Yanxuan was also incorporated into innovative enterprises and other businesses because it \"accounts for a very small proportion of the company's total revenue\".</p><p><b>\"Trying to tell an original story just by putting up a sign\"—the old tricks won't fool young people.</b></p><p>NetEase Yanxuan is not unaware that it will be difficult for it to reach the level of MUJI as a national brand in Japan, and the new middle class will find it difficult to continue paying for that \"big brand same style\" narrative system. Therefore, NetEase Yanxuan began to turn its attention to the future new middle class, namely Generation Z.</p><p>From launching the independent brand \"Black Pineapple\" series to launching the adult sex brand \"Spring Breeze\", NetEase Yanxuan seems to hope to attract Generation Z, who do not pursue \"brand symbol value\" but favor brand stories and individuality, by telling original brand stories.</p><p>Ideals are good, but NetEase Yanxuan has \"slacked off\" on the road to realizing them.</p><p>\"Although Yanxuan has been closely following the preferences of young people, such as products like low-alcohol liquor and small appliances, while they appear original, they are actually still playing the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) game. This is clearly not the domestic trend or niche brand that Generation Z wants,\" an industry insider pointed out. If you understand Generation Z's preferences a little, you can find that their pursuit of niche and domestic trend brands often lies in the story behind the brand, from original design to the story of the brand's establishment and development, etc. \"Compared to OEM products, they are more willing to accompany a truly original small brand to grow.\"</p><p>The thoughts of Jiaojiao, a post-00s generation, confirmed the observations of the aforementioned industry insiders: \"It's clearly just a label, while NetEase Yanxuan still emphasizes that it is original. In fact, it has no brand connotation or story at all. To put it bluntly, it just wants to make a profit from the price difference.\"</p><p>Jiaojiao gave an example: she once saw a bottle of so-called \"new concept sake\" osmanthus sparkling sake on NetEase Yanxuan. It was priced at 88 yuan and claimed to be NetEase Yanxuan's own brand. She even endorsed and recommended it with NetEase CEO Ding Lei. \"I drank three bottles of hot pot.\"</p><p>However, when Jiaojiao traced the origin to the manufacturer of this bottle of wine, \"Suzhou Bridge,\" and then did a casual search, she found that the same product from the original manufacturer cost less than 50 yuan, while the wholesale price could be as low as about 30 yuan. \"The ingredients and size are the same, it's just that the label on the bottle is different.\"<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/aa6f075306f08a085a1cb107edd05319\" tg-width=\"988\" tg-height=\"741\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">The sake brands recommended by Ding Lei are overpriced.</p><p>This is not an isolated case. Ding Lei also recommended a 198-gram self-operated brand of canned lunch meat during NetEase Yanxuan's \"Best-Selling Products\" during the \"6.18\" shopping festival, priced at 19.9 yuan. A search for the same product from the original manufacturer revealed that the 340g version was only priced at 15 yuan. Putting on a NetEase Yanxuan sign reduces the quantity by half, but the price is nearly a third higher. \"Is the NetEase Yanxuan brand worth such a premium?\" In the end, Jiaojiao turned her head and chose an original women's wine brand, even though the price was more expensive than NetEase Yanxuan.</p><p>This clearly contradicts NetEase Yanxuan's previous new expectations for itself, which were \"not e-commerce, but a brand\". In fact, over the years, the impact of the phrase \"NetEase Yanxuan\" on the minds of young users has been very vague, and to a large extent, it is \"neither an e-commerce platform nor a brand\".</p><p>Many new consumer brands rose rapidly during this period. They use a DTC marketing model that directly faces consumers, focusing more on brand building and fan management in niche product categories. Through communities, content, live streaming and other means, they have formed a stronger vertical product seeding model and won the favor of young people.</p><p>Young people like Jiaojiao are happy to pay for this, and it has made many new brands popular. During the 2020 Tmall Double Eleven shopping festival, new consumer brands that have been on Tmall for less than three years, such as 59 Seconds in the disinfection machine category, Pineapple Jun in the fascia gun category, and Biba Baby in the diaper category, achieved 357 category firsts in a single day.</p><p><b>But looking back, NetEase Yanxuan is still playing the same old trick, at most changing the gimmick—replacing the same products from big brands with \"CEO Recommendations\" or \"NetEase Employee Selected Products,\" which are obviously unlikely to create a close connection with users.</b></p><p>For this reason, products such as \"Hour Light Baijiu\" and \"Mushroom Instant Cooker\" that NetEase Yanxuan has been promoting in recent years did not actually become bestsellers at that time.</p><p>As the New Consumption Research Institute previously wrote, \"Although NetEase Yanxuan and others rely on large platforms to enjoy shade, they have still been knocked out by a group of newcomers. After all, the new consumption environment no longer needs so many online versions of Miniso... With more rational and diversified consumption demands, it may not be so easy to get young people to pay for overly packaged quality concepts.\"</p><p>Although NetEase Yanxuan App added the \"Xuanxiang\" community on June 9, which focuses on \"sharing differences together and discovering more life options\" and guides users to share their life dynamics on the App in an attempt to strengthen their connection with young people, it seems to have come somewhat late.</p><p><b>Want to learn from Pinduoduo by offering low prices and cashback, but \"can't afford to play\"?</b></p><p>Telling original stories didn't work very well, but NetEase Yanxuan didn't give up and continued to save itself, such as following Pinduoduo's tactics and expanding into lower-tier cities.</p><p>First, they launched a full refund campaign for newcomers' first order. Initially, it was a \"red envelope refund,\" but now it's a \"balance refund.\" In short, the amount refunded to users must still be used on NetEase Yanxuan.</p><p><b>This event did attract many new users to NetEase Yanxuan, but the retention rate was not necessarily high. After all, if you open social media platforms such as Zhihu and Weibo, you can see many complaints about NetEase Yanxuan being \"unaffordable\".</b></p><p>When asked, \"Is NetEase Yanxuan's full refund on the first order for newcomers a scam?\", one of the highly liked users replied, \"After spending 78 yuan to buy a barrel of cooking oil, I received two coupons for 39 yuan back from the platform. However, I had to spend 56 yuan or more to use them, and some items were not covered. I thought 56 - 39 = 17 would be a good deal, so I went to see what to buy. But I found that all items required spending 99 yuan or more to get free shipping. So, adding the shipping costs, the two coupons effectively only gave me a 29 yuan discount.\" Of course, you can enjoy the full discount as long as you reach 99, which will inadvertently lead to more spending. I don't know if this oil is any good, but I returned it right away and bought a well-known brand on Taobao instead.</p><p>There are many more such cases. Many consumers placed orders because of the word \"cashback,\" but after receiving the coupons, they found that \"you can use them, but there are many barriers to entry,\" and in the end, they didn't get much of a discount. The current \"balance refund\" campaign is also a \"new bottle of old wine\". According to the platform's rules, \"the balance returned to the account cannot be withdrawn by the supporter, but can be automatically deducted when placing an order, with a maximum deduction of 30% of the order amount.\"<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fc658684d616a2798ae5caceb0e26185\" tg-width=\"1080\" tg-height=\"809\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">On one hand, there are coupons that go viral, and on the other hand, there are tricks.</p><p>Zhang Ru, who once purchased an annual membership for NetEase Yanxuan pro, felt that \"Yanxuan has too many discount tricks.\" Zhang Ru said, \"I originally thought it was a good deal that members could frequently claim coupons, but I found that I often couldn't make payments using coupons.\"</p><p>This has also been verified on social media platforms such as Zhihu. One user said, \"I just received a 20 off coupon for every 21 yuan spent, and I excitedly scraped together 30 yuan to find that I couldn't pay. But for the same thing, if I don't use the coupon, it will go directly to the Alipay payment interface. It's a typical example of something I can't afford.\"</p><p><b>On the other hand, NetEase Yanxuan's \"welfare fan group\" is flooded with coupon information every day, which shows that Yanxuan wants to compete for market share through low-price discount strategies and community marketing. However, whether it was its low-price strategy or its community marketing, NetEase Yanxuan came too late and was not sincere enough.</b></p><p>\"After all, low prices don't align with Yanxuan's previous positioning and brand image, especially since Pinduoduo has already made coupons and cashback so popular. And creating a community isn't about simply posting coupons every day to increase user stickiness. Yanxuan obviously came too late and wasn't serious enough,\" an industry insider pointed out. \"NetEase Yanxuan is now more like a desperate attempt to seek remedies haphazardly.\"</p><p>In fact, NetEase Yanxuan had launched a 9.9 super value zone even earlier. In the special zone, Yanxuan has selected 180 best-selling products for repricing, providing consumers with the ultimate cost-effectiveness. This move sparked a strong backlash from long-time NetEase users at the time—Yanxuan has always been positioned in the mid-to-high-end market, and in the eyes of consumers, the 9.9 yuan special offer seemed to lower the platform's image.</p><p>NetEase Yanxuan, however, seems not to have learned its lesson and is going further and further down the path of deviating from its positioning.</p><p><b>The more you struggle, the harder it is to save yourself.</b></p><p>“Today, most consumers still pursue cost-effectiveness, but when the cost-effectiveness is similar, more and more people will choose brands that align with their philosophy. Moreover, these brands need to consistently convey their philosophy for a long time, making consumers believe that their philosophy is real and not created for profit,” Ma Zichun, deputy director of research at market research consulting firm Mintel, pointed out in an interview with Jiemian.</p><p>However, although NetEase Yanxuan is still \"tinkering,\" its footprints are becoming increasingly chaotic. For users, the ever-changing brand philosophy has made its form increasingly blurred.</p><p>On the one hand, the deeper it goes, the further it becomes from its initial users, the \"new middle class\"; On the other hand, the more emphasis is placed on its original brand, the less Generation Z is willing to pay for its premium.</p><p>Especially according to media reports, this year, with the total amount of retail goods declining, consumption concepts are becoming increasingly polarized. On one side, consumers are spending huge sums to buy big brands and paying a premium for the added value of brands. As a result, the price increases of luxury brands are still becoming more and more aggressive this year. On the other hand, there is a complete pursuit of low prices, with wholesale goods from Taobao, Pinduoduo, and even 1688 attracting a lot of attention.</p><p>Against this backdrop, NetEase Yanxuan has been in trouble for a long time—not because there is no market, but because there is no longer a market that belongs to \"Yanxuan\". In an increasingly diverse consumer market, fewer and fewer users are willing to choose Yanxuan, which is \"neither high nor low.\"</p><p>As a result, the more NetEase Yanxuan struggles, the harder it becomes to save itself.</p>\n<div class=\"bt-text\">\n\n\n<p> source：<a href=\"https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/Y4RTLQs-kdrPFTffcty2qQ\">

“新中产”，在消费升级的洪流之中对品牌已有了更高的要求，不愿再为其高仿莆田货和糟心的售后服务买单。\n高呼着“躺平”、不愿被传统意义上的“消费主义”裹挟的Z世代，则早已不屑于“新中产”之称，更容易被个性化的原创新消费品牌吸引，而非严选这类“贴牌之流”。\n于是，为了活下去的网易严选，一边通过各种平价产品、“拼多多”式红包套路用力下沉，一边又不惜拉出CEO丁磊来为自家的各类原创品牌背书，试图拽回那群渐行渐远的“新中产”，以及消费能力正不断升级的Z世代……\n而这，比想象中更难。\n莆田货们，撑不起新中产想要的“好生活”\n“生活在一、二线城市，有一定消费见解，讲究精神层面的提升和满足，注重生活品质，追求自我价值。”\n这是网易严选在创立之初对其目标用户的一个画像，简单概括，就是所谓的“新中产”。\n\n 这的确是个不小的“盘子”，据虎嗅网的数据，目前，中国新中产用户总体体量是3320万户，而吴晓波《2019年新中产白皮书》则显示，2029年预计中国新中产用户群体规模和消费规模将达到4.5亿。\n\n但是，目标定得好，并不代表网易严选就一定摸得着。\n打出“好的生活，没那么贵”的slogan，宣称商品来自无印良品或新秀丽的大牌厂商，的确让网易严选在创立不久后就获得了大量关注。毕竟，对于经济实力有限，却又希望保持一定“逼格”的新中产而言，这看上去是“性价比”极高的选择。\n这是彼时精品电商共同的路径——主打 \" 中国特色的 ODM\"，以 \" 代工生产的方式 \" 找到同样的制造商，将设计做简单的修改，再上架到自家渠道销售，价格甚至比正品大牌便宜一半。\n“网易严选刚出现时，我的确常在上面逛一逛，也很乐意为它主推的一些生活用品买单。比如无印良品同一厂商制作的毛巾和床单，或者双立人同材质的牛奶锅。”江玉汝今年27岁，在成都的一家互联网公司工作。大学刚毕业时，江玉汝一度是网易严选的忠实用户，因为对于初入社会，对生活品质有所要求，却又难以为名牌的高溢价买单的她而言，“网易严选的产品不算大牌，但东西不差。”\n“江玉汝”们曾让网易严选短暂被推上了风口。\n然而，网易严选忽视了一点——江玉汝们对其的信任大多仅仅停留在低售价且复购率较低的日用百货。\n这背后的原因是，在这20年之间，中国家庭人均可支配收入逐年递增，家庭结构不断缩小，人们的消费水平提高，也出现了“消费升级”的趋势，人们愿意花更多的钱接受商品溢价。\n于是，网易严选瞄准的“新中产”，一边以“高性价比”的理念对待必须被解决的柴米油盐，另一边却在服饰、化妆品、电子产品等产品上仍然保留着对“大牌”的期待，至少，不愿意为一眼就能被识破的产品买单。\n而打开网易严选，你却常能看见直接标明来自“莆田”的“椰子”鞋，售价在两百元左右，还有所谓的博主推荐，同样宣称其品牌制造商“长期与知名运动品牌保持良好合作关系”。\n莆田鞋，成为网易严选的“全球尖货”\n对此，江玉汝的态度是，“宁可多攒点钱买原版，实在不行买原创的小众品牌。”\n这并非简单的“面子主义”，而是因为，在新中产“江玉汝”们看来，这并不符合他们的生活观念和消费态度，“莆田背后的抄袭、山寨底色，显然不是我们想要的好生活。”\n29岁的Tommy身在上海，服饰多靠海淘，生活日用偶尔用用网易严选。“我们是在能省的地方省一省，不能省的地方绝对不省。”Tommy告诉锌刻度，和江玉汝一样，他觉得网易严选的家纺、袜子和内裤偶尔可以买一买，服饰、化妆品和母婴用品等还得买大牌或者更专业的品牌。\n除却饱受诟病的莆田货，其产品品控和售后也难以配得上新中产们对美好生活的想象。在一条“网易严选怎么样”的知乎页面下，消费者纷纷对严选的产品品质和售后服务吐槽，吐槽卖家秀和买家秀之间的巨大差距。这种最初在淘宝平台被玩烂的梗，在一个主打品质的平台上重现。\n于是，网易严选的大牌同款很难得到新中产们的青睐，而单纯只卖复购率较低的日用百货生意，网易严选又很难赚到钱。\n数据很直观地验证了这一点——从 2018 年开始，网易严选 200 亿 GMV 的目标远未达到，2018 年，电商业务（网易考拉和网易严选）实现 192.35 亿元，同比增长率 64.8%。\n2019 年 9 月，网易考拉卖身阿里，严选事业部总经理柳晓刚离职。网易严选也因 \" 占公司总收入比例甚少 \" 的原因，并入创新企业及其他业务。\n“贴个牌就想讲原创故事”，老套路忽悠不了年轻人\n网易严选并非没有意识到，自己很难达到无印良品之于日本的国民程度，而新中产们也已经很难持续为那套“大牌同款”的叙事体系买单。于是，网易严选开始将目光投向未来的新中产，即Z世代人群。\n从推出自由品牌“黑凤梨”系列，到上线成人情趣品牌“春风”，网易严选似乎希望通过讲原创品牌故事这一套，吸引那些不追求“品牌符号价值”而是青睐品牌故事和个性的Z世代。\n理想是好的，但网易严选在实现理想这条路上又“偷懒”了。\n“尽管严选一直在紧追年轻人的喜好，比如低度酒、小家电之类的产品，但看上去是原创，实际上还是玩的贴牌那一套，这显然不是Z世代们想要的国潮品牌或者小众品牌。”业内人士指出，如果稍微了解一下Z世代的喜好，就能发现，他们对小众和国潮品牌的追求往往在于品牌背后的故事，从原创的设计、到品牌成立和发展的故事等等，“比起贴牌货，他们更愿意陪伴一个真正原创的小品牌成长。”\n“00后”娇娇的想法验证了上述业内人士的观察，“明明还是贴个牌，而网易严选还要强调自己是原创，其实根本没什么品牌内涵和故事，说白了还是想赚差价。”\n娇娇举例，她曾在网易严选上看中一瓶所谓的“新概念清酒”桂花起泡清酒，标价88元，声称是网易严选自营品牌，还拉出了网易CEO丁磊背书做推荐，“一顿火锅，我喝了三瓶。”\n然而，当娇娇溯源查到这瓶酒的厂家“苏州桥”，再随手一查，发现原厂家的同一产品价格才不到50元，批发价能低至30元左右，“配料和体量什么都一样，就是瓶身上那个标不同而已。”丁磊推荐的清酒品牌溢价过高\n\n 这并非个例，网易严选在“6·18”期间的“热卖爆款”中，丁磊还推荐了一款198克的自营品牌午餐肉罐头，售价为19.9元。锌刻度搜索原生产厂家的同款产品却发现，340g的才售价15元。贴个网易严选的牌，量少了一半，价格却贵了近三分之一。\n\n“网易严选这品牌能值这么多溢价？”最后，娇娇扭头选择了一家女性酒原创品牌，哪怕售价比网易严选更贵。\n这显然有悖于网易严选此前对自己的新期待，即“不是电商，而是品牌”。事实上，这么多年过去，“网易严选”几个字，对于年轻用户心智的影响其实非常含混，很大程度上“既不是电商，也不是品牌”。\n而众多新消费品牌却正是在这个时期迅速崛起。他们以直面消费者的DTC营销模式，更专注细分品类的品牌打造以及粉丝经营，通过社群、内容、直播等形式，形成了更强的垂直品类种草，收割年轻人的好感度。\n像娇娇这样的年轻人，乐于为此买单，并且捧红了众多新品牌。2020年天猫双十一，像消毒机品类的59秒、筋膜枪品类的菠萝君、纸尿裤品类的碧芭宝贝，这些入驻天猫不足三年的新消费品牌，在双十一一天就跑出了357个品类第一。\n但回过头来，网易严选还在玩以前那一套，顶多换了噱头——把大牌同款换成了“CEO推荐”或者“网易员工精选好物”，而这些显然很难与用户产生紧密连接。\n也正因此，近年来网易严选主推过的“小时光白酒”、“蘑立快熟锅”等产品，事实上都并没有成为那一时期的爆款。\n正如新消费研究所此前写到，“网易严选们，虽然依靠大平台树下好乘凉，但依然被一群新人给群KO了，毕竟新的消费环境，已经不再需要那么多线上版的名创优品……更理性和多元化的消费诉求下，想让年轻人们为过度包装的品质概念买单，或许已经没那么容易了。”\n尽管网易严选App在6月9日新增“选巷”社区，主打“一起分享不同，发现更多生活选项”，引导用户在App分享自己的生活动态，试图重新加强与年轻人的连接，但也多少显得珊珊来迟了。\n搞低价和返现，想学拼多多却又“玩不起”？\n讲原创的故事行不太通，网易严选倒也没放弃，蹒跚着继续自救，比如学着拼多多的套路玩下沉。\n先是推出了新人首单全额返的活动，最初的形式为“返红包”，如今的形式是“返余额”，简而言之就是返给用户的金额还得在网易严选使用。\n这一活动的确曾为网易严选吸引了不少的新用户，然而留存率却并不一定高。毕竟，打开知乎、微博等社交平台，能看见不少对网易严选“玩不起”的吐槽。\n在“网易严选新人首单全额返是坑吗？”的提问下，其中一高赞回答如是说，“花78元买了一桶食用油后（平台）返了2张39的券，但是必须要满56才能使用并且部分商品不在使用范围内，想着56-39=17也挺合适的，那就去看看买点啥呗，结果发现所有商品需要满99才能包邮，那么加上邮费这两张券变相地只能有29的优惠了。当然，你想全额享受优惠也可以，凑够99就可以了，这样无形之中又会多消费。这个油好不好我不知道，反正当下就退了，反手去某宝买了一个耳熟能详的牌子。”\n这样的案例还有很多。许多消费者看中“返现”二字下了单，收到优惠券后却发现“想用可以，门槛多多”，而最后也优惠不了太多。而眼下的“返余额”活动，也是“新瓶装旧酒”，按照平台的规则，“返回账户的余额不支持体提现，下单时可以自动抵扣，最高只能抵扣订单金额的30%。”一边是刷屏的优惠券，一边是套路\n曾购买了网易严选pro年费会员的张茹更是觉得“严选的优惠套路太多”。张茹称，“本来觉得会员可以经常领券挺划算，结果发现使用优惠券常常无法付款。”\n这一点也在知乎等社交平台上得以验证，有用户表示，“刚领了满21减20的全场优惠券，兴冲冲凑了30块钱发现不能付款，但同样的东西不使用优惠券的话，直接秒入支付宝付款界面，典型玩不起。”\n而另一边，网易严选的“福利粉丝群”里则是每日刷屏的优惠券信息，不难看出严选想靠低价优惠策略，以及社群营销来争夺市场的心。但是，无论是低价策略还是社群营销，网易严选都来得太晚，做得也不够真诚。\n“毕竟低价就不符合严选此前对自己的定位和品牌调性，更何况拼多多已经把优惠券、返现这些玩法玩得深入人心。而做社群也并不是天天发点优惠券就能增加用户粘性的，严选显然来得太晚，又不够认真。”有业内人士指出，“网易严选现在更像是病急乱投医”。\n事实上，在更早之前，网易严选就曾推出9.9超值专区。在专区内，严选挑选了180款爆款产品重新定价，为消费者提供极致性价比。而这一举动当时引起网易老用户们的强烈反弹——严选一直以来都定位于中高端，在消费者眼中，9.9元特价商品似乎拉低了平台调性。\n而网易严选似乎并未长记性，并在背离定位这条路上越走越远。\n越折腾越难自救\n“今天大部分消费者仍然会追求性价比，但在性价比差不多的情况下，越来越多的人会选择符合自己理念的品牌，而且这些品牌需要在很长时间内坚持传达着他们的理念，让消费者认为他们这些理念是真实的，而不是为了盈利而产生的。”市场研究咨询公司英敏特的研究副总监马子淳曾在接受界面采访时指出这一点。\n然而，尽管网易严选还在“折腾”，但其踩下的脚印已经越来越乱。对于用户而言，不断变化的品牌理念，已经让它的形则变得越来越模糊。\n一方面，越往下沉，其与初始用户“新中产”们的距离则越远；另一方面，越强调其原创品牌，Z世代们就越不愿意为它的溢价买单。\n尤其是据媒体报道，在社会零售品总额下降的今年，消费观念越来越两极化，一边的消费者是斥巨资买大牌，为品牌附加值支付溢价，因此，奢侈品大牌今年的涨价程度依然愈发凶猛；另一边是彻底追求低价，淘宝、拼多多甚至是 1688 批发货受到众多关注。\n在这样的大背景之下，网易严选陷入困境已久——并非没有市场，而是已经没有属于“严选”的市场。在越来越丰富的消费市场上，愿意选择“高不成低不就”的严选的用户，越来越少。\n于是，泥潭之中的网易严选越折腾，越难自救。","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"NTES":0.9,"09999":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1179,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":128756257,"gmtCreate":1624533536379,"gmtModify":1703839588024,"author":{"id":"3584434979527981","authorId":"3584434979527981","name":"Mingo6666","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a965165a008f9ab05845229df3b65591","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3584434979527981","idStr":"3584434979527981"},"themes":[],"title":"","htmlText":"Hi","listText":"Hi","text":"Hi","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/128756257","repostId":"2145824046","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1214,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":129081684,"gmtCreate":1624344202348,"gmtModify":1703834021273,"author":{"id":"3584434979527981","authorId":"3584434979527981","name":"Mingo6666","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a965165a008f9ab05845229df3b65591","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3584434979527981","idStr":"3584434979527981"},"themes":[],"title":"","htmlText":"Huh","listText":"Huh","text":"Huh","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/129081684","repostId":"2145505834","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2145505834","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1624341361,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2145505834?lang=en_US&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-22

implemented, the online education industry should be gearing up and ready to take off, both in the short and long term. However, the regulatory sword has already fallen.</p><p>The chaos in online education has been visible to the outside world since the marketing scam of HiLearning, which was fraudulent and difficult to withdraw from school, was exposed on March 15th last year. On January 18th, the website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Supervisory Commission published two headlines and important news articles, directly pointing out the wanton marketing and chaotic regulation of online education, once again pushing the industry to the forefront.</p><p>Recently, Beijing regulators have imposed maximum fines on online education institutions twice. On June 1, the State Administration for Market Regulation imposed a maximum fine of 36.5 million yuan on 15 after-school training institutions, including \"Xueersi,\" \"Yuanfudao,\" and \"Zuoyebang.\"</p><p>The regulatory crackdown is gradually turning into a crackdown, and the good days of unchecked growth for online education seem to be coming to an end.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/faeb6a05d97b4bc956d948a8782b2339\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"400\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>However, objectively speaking, regulation is ultimately a cyclical adjustment to the industry, just like repotting and pruning plants to make them grow better. There will always be a few seedlings that cannot adapt to the new soil. But to say that online education has no future is obviously too arbitrary. After all, online education has indeed achieved equality in quality education and given full play to the universal benefit of education. The value of the industry cannot be denied.</p><p><h2>1. An \"involution game\" in online education</h2>How crazy has the marketing campaign for online education been in the past two years? The ears of innocent people must be clear.</p><p>\"Help, help, online classes, homework help,\" \"Take online classes, use Yuan Tutor, do exercises, use Yuan Question Bank\"...</p><p>Brainwashing advertising has evolved from the earliest fast-moving consumer goods to used cars, and now to online education. In the past, it may have only been placed on television, but now it occupies all scenarios in the internet, train stations, and elevators, and can be described as overwhelming. Behind this advertising campaign lies a microcosm of an industry's marketing frenzy. The dramatic rise in the sector has deepened the pain point of online education, namely, the continuous increase in customer acquisition costs.</p><p>According to data from App Growing, in Q4 2020, the number of mobile advertisements in online education surged and entered the top 5 in the industry advertising rankings. Data shows that from Q1 to Q3 of 2020, Yuanfudao, Zuoyebang, and Xueersi Online School invested a total of approximately 5.5 billion yuan in marketing, representing a year-on-year increase of over 200%. It is clear that players in the online education industry are making rapid progress in marketing, which naturally means that their energy is becoming increasingly scattered and the risk of things getting out of control is growing.</p><p>The marketing orientation of online education is reflected in the content level, with more and more tutors transforming into \"Tony teachers,\" shifting their focus from teaching to selling courses. With chaos rife, it's only a matter of time before regulation arrives.</p><p>One of the reasons why this involutionary game has reached its current state is inseparable from the catalysis of capital.</p><p>According to Tianyancha data, among the top ten companies in the education industry in terms of financing amount in the first half of 2020, 9 were online education companies. According to statistics, in 2020, the financing amount of China's online education industry exceeded the total financing amount of the previous ten years, exceeding 50 billion yuan.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2ca166e95980a81eea72f9f3701aaa4a\" tg-width=\"550\" tg-height=\"309\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>In the case of online education, the increase in customer acquisition costs in the past two years is not due to increasingly expensive traffic. The popularity of a sector and the amount of capital are often driven in both directions. As the industry market expands, capital flocks into the market, and industry competition intensifies.</p><p>Is this kind of competition healthy? In the early days of the industry, competition was fierce, and it was understandable to expand the market. However, the maturation effect of capital was strong, and the market size grew rapidly. In the remaining time, only endless industry involution remained.</p><p>When sharing his entrepreneurial experience, Zhou Hang of Yidao once mentioned, \"Before the product is done well, everyone is burning money on advertising. This forces some players to follow up with advertising and wage marketing battles, and they cannot focus their resources on refining the product.\"</p><p>The arrival of regulations has, to some extent, allowed some players who had long wanted to slow down their marketing efforts to put the brakes on with peace of mind.</p><p>Another reason for this competitive game is the nature of the internet business model.</p><p>For example, the used car e-commerce industry was once booming. The original intention of the industry was to solve the pain points of traditional used car transactions through the Internet. However, it put the cart before the horse. Apart from a fierce marketing war, the pain points that should have been addressed were hardly improved, leaving the industry in a mess.</p><p>A similar model existed in the early days of ride-hailing services, which also experienced rapid growth and a large amount of money-burning marketing. However, their fate was completely different from that of used car e-commerce, and they even emerged as a super giant like Didi. The main reason is that, amidst the fierce marketing competition, ride-hailing services have truly solved many pain points in the traditional taxi industry. With the arrival of regulations, the industry is not facing a winter, but rather an upward push.</p><p>This internet business model is essentially because it relies heavily on the efficiency of information transmission, and marketing-oriented approaches are often the most direct way to improve efficiency.</p><p>A traditional education market insider once said, \"If you don't compete, your opponents will keep attacking you. There are many ways to 'play' education, especially for people who generate traffic on the internet.\" As for the ways to play, the word \"marketing\" cannot be ignored.</p><p>The sudden regulation of online education may not be a bad thing. At least the industry can calm down and focus on refining content instead of fighting tooth and nail in the involution game of marketing growth, because one day the incremental market will become the existing market, and then the competition will still be about content.</p><p><h2>2. The Sun of Tomorrow in Online Education</h2>The arrival of regulation is not accidental. While content can bring solid accumulation, excessive marketing brings more anxiety.</p><p>Education carries too much weight. For the real estate industry, education has given rise to school district housing, which is now daunting to most people. Regarding China's current pressing population problem, some young people have chosen to \"lie flat.\" In the context of the open three-child policy, the bottleneck in population growth stems from the decline in young people's willingness to have children, and behind this decline lies the mountain of educational anxiety.</p><p>Just like young people's anxiety about childbirth, online education does indeed need a \"de-anxiety\" campaign.</p><p>How can we achieve such \"de-anxiety\"?</p><p>The market size of the education industry is self-evident, but the scope of education is not limited to online education. The imbalance in educational resources is a long-term problem. Currently, new technologies are a good way to make up for it. Empowering new technologies in the AI era to truly restructure the infrastructure of the education industry is a clearer direction at present.</p><p>From an external perspective, according to data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, by the end of 2020, my country had accumulated 18,000 5G base stations, and the three major telecom operators had a total of 322 million 5G package users. The increasing popularity of 5G technology has provided greater possibilities for restructuring educational hardware, whether for computing power-driven datafication or AI-driven...<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/5RE.SI\">smart</a>Chemistry is an important basic resource.</p><p>From an industry perspective, according to financial reports, NetEase Youdao's net revenue from learning products in 2020 was 540 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 255.1%. In particular, net revenue reached 237 million yuan in the fourth quarter, a year-on-year increase of 253.8%. Youdao dictionary pens, which won the top sales in both the 618 and Double Eleven electronic dictionary categories, played a significant role in these several stock shortages.</p><p>Amidst a generally sluggish online education industry this year, NetEase Youdao's Q1 2021 financial report, released on May 18, showed net revenue from learning products of 202 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 279.8%, setting a new record.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5b1159fb27eb948af14c80b5e8612045\" tg-width=\"662\" tg-height=\"449\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>Online education is declining, while educational hardware is moving upwards. NetEase Youdao is gradually becoming a leading player in the educational hardware sector. The recent news of the long-established player Reading Boy going public in Hong Kong has also shown people the enormous potential of smart educational hardware in the new era.</p><p>For consumers, educational products often separate users from decision-makers. The advantage of hardware is that it can meet parents' needs for learning products. Although educational products are for students, they actually solve parents' problems, which is why products such as reading pens and learning machines are so popular.</p><p>Henry, a member of the Internet Jianghu team who once infiltrated \"chicken kids\" groups, made an observation and found that most \"chicken kids\" parents actually hold a \"both hands must be grasped and both hands must be strong\" attitude towards after-school tutoring and smart educational hardware. However, they do not care about different brands of hardware themselves. What they really focus on is whether the content is of high quality, whether it can truly help children improve their learning efficiency, and whether it can solve the pain points of parents' after-school tutoring. One parent even expressed their hope that online education companies could launch related educational hardware.</p><p>This shows that parents have a natural sense of trust in online education companies that create hardware, just like Didi does for freight, Gaode Maps, etc.<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BIDU\">Baidu</a>The entry of companies like Maps into the aggregated ride-hailing market makes the logic of traffic monetization smoother. For companies like NetEase and Youdao, focusing on the hardware market is certainly an option, and their content ecosystems also have natural advantages.</p><p>From the perspective of the B-end of educational hardware, new technologies of the times often hold enormous potential.</p><p>In the past, educational infrastructure consisted of tools such as blackboards and chalk. With the advent of the Internet age, projection has become almost widespread in the school market. Future educational infrastructure may be intelligent educational products, but this remains a huge blue ocean to be developed.</p><p>In the short term, the value chain of the education industry is content > tools > channels; in the long term, it is hardware tools > channels > content.</p><p>From a cross-industry perspective, this value chain also aligns to some extent with internet companies in other sectors.

However, the regulatory sword has already fallen.</p><p>The chaos in online education has been visible to the outside world since the marketing scam of HiLearning, which was fraudulent and difficult to withdraw from school, was exposed on March 15th last year. On January 18th, the website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Supervisory Commission published two headlines and important news articles, directly pointing out the wanton marketing and chaotic regulation of online education, once again pushing the industry to the forefront.</p><p>Recently, Beijing regulators have imposed maximum fines on online education institutions twice. On June 1, the State Administration for Market Regulation imposed a maximum fine of 36.5 million yuan on 15 after-school training institutions, including \"Xueersi,\" \"Yuanfudao,\" and \"Zuoyebang.\"</p><p>The regulatory crackdown is gradually turning into a crackdown, and the good days of unchecked growth for online education seem to be coming to an end.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/faeb6a05d97b4bc956d948a8782b2339\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"400\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>However, objectively speaking, regulation is ultimately a cyclical adjustment to the industry, just like repotting and pruning plants to make them grow better. There will always be a few seedlings that cannot adapt to the new soil. But to say that online education has no future is obviously too arbitrary. After all, online education has indeed achieved equality in quality education and given full play to the universal benefit of education. The value of the industry cannot be denied.</p><p><h2>1. An \"involution game\" in online education</h2>How crazy has the marketing campaign for online education been in the past two years? The ears of innocent people must be clear.</p><p>\"Help, help, online classes, homework help,\" \"Take online classes, use Yuan Tutor, do exercises, use Yuan Question Bank\"...</p><p>Brainwashing advertising has evolved from the earliest fast-moving consumer goods to used cars, and now to online education. In the past, it may have only been placed on television, but now it occupies all scenarios in the internet, train stations, and elevators, and can be described as overwhelming. Behind this advertising campaign lies a microcosm of an industry's marketing frenzy. The dramatic rise in the sector has deepened the pain point of online education, namely, the continuous increase in customer acquisition costs.</p><p>According to data from App Growing, in Q4 2020, the number of mobile advertisements in online education surged and entered the top 5 in the industry advertising rankings. Data shows that from Q1 to Q3 of 2020, Yuanfudao, Zuoyebang, and Xueersi Online School invested a total of approximately 5.5 billion yuan in marketing, representing a year-on-year increase of over 200%. It is clear that players in the online education industry are making rapid progress in marketing, which naturally means that their energy is becoming increasingly scattered and the risk of things getting out of control is growing.</p><p>The marketing orientation of online education is reflected in the content level, with more and more tutors transforming into \"Tony teachers,\" shifting their focus from teaching to selling courses. With chaos rife, it's only a matter of time before regulation arrives.</p><p>One of the reasons why this involutionary game has reached its current state is inseparable from the catalysis of capital.</p><p>According to Tianyancha data, among the top ten companies in the education industry in terms of financing amount in the first half of 2020, 9 were online education companies. According to statistics, in 2020, the financing amount of China's online education industry exceeded the total financing amount of the previous ten years, exceeding 50 billion yuan.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2ca166e95980a81eea72f9f3701aaa4a\" tg-width=\"550\" tg-height=\"309\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>In the case of online education, the increase in customer acquisition costs in the past two years is not due to increasingly expensive traffic. The popularity of a sector and the amount of capital are often driven in both directions. As the industry market expands, capital flocks into the market, and industry competition intensifies.</p><p>Is this kind of competition healthy? In the early days of the industry, competition was fierce, and it was understandable to expand the market. However, the maturation effect of capital was strong, and the market size grew rapidly. In the remaining time, only endless industry involution remained.</p><p>When sharing his entrepreneurial experience, Zhou Hang of Yidao once mentioned, \"Before the product is done well, everyone is burning money on advertising. This forces some players to follow up with advertising and wage marketing battles, and they cannot focus their resources on refining the product.\"</p><p>The arrival of regulations has, to some extent, allowed some players who had long wanted to slow down their marketing efforts to put the brakes on with peace of mind.</p><p>Another reason for this competitive game is the nature of the internet business model.</p><p>For example, the used car e-commerce industry was once booming. The original intention of the industry was to solve the pain points of traditional used car transactions through the Internet. However, it put the cart before the horse. Apart from a fierce marketing war, the pain points that should have been addressed were hardly improved, leaving the industry in a mess.</p><p>A similar model existed in the early days of ride-hailing services, which also experienced rapid growth and a large amount of money-burning marketing. However, their fate was completely different from that of used car e-commerce, and they even emerged as a super giant like Didi. The main reason is that, amidst the fierce marketing competition, ride-hailing services have truly solved many pain points in the traditional taxi industry. With the arrival of regulations, the industry is not facing a winter, but rather an upward push.</p><p>This internet business model is essentially because it relies heavily on the efficiency of information transmission, and marketing-oriented approaches are often the most direct way to improve efficiency.</p><p>A traditional education market insider once said, \"If you don't compete, your opponents will keep attacking you. There are many ways to 'play' education, especially for people who generate traffic on the internet.\" As for the ways to play, the word \"marketing\" cannot be ignored.</p><p>The sudden regulation of online education may not be a bad thing. At least the industry can calm down and focus on refining content instead of fighting tooth and nail in the involution game of marketing growth, because one day the incremental market will become the existing market, and then the competition will still be about content.</p><p><h2>2. The Sun of Tomorrow in Online Education</h2>The arrival of regulation is not accidental. While content can bring solid accumulation, excessive marketing brings more anxiety.</p><p>Education carries too much weight. For the real estate industry, education has given rise to school district housing, which is now daunting to most people. Regarding China's current pressing population problem, some young people have chosen to \"lie flat.\" In the context of the open three-child policy, the bottleneck in population growth stems from the decline in young people's willingness to have children, and behind this decline lies the mountain of educational anxiety.</p><p>Just like young people's anxiety about childbirth, online education does indeed need a \"de-anxiety\" campaign.</p><p>How can we achieve such \"de-anxiety\"?</p><p>The market size of the education industry is self-evident, but the scope of education is not limited to online education. The imbalance in educational resources is a long-term problem. Currently, new technologies are a good way to make up for it. Empowering new technologies in the AI era to truly restructure the infrastructure of the education industry is a clearer direction at present.</p><p>From an external perspective, according to data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, by the end of 2020, my country had accumulated 18,000 5G base stations, and the three major telecom operators had a total of 322 million 5G package users. The increasing popularity of 5G technology has provided greater possibilities for restructuring educational hardware, whether for computing power-driven datafication or AI-driven...<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/5RE.SI\">smart</a>Chemistry is an important basic resource.</p><p>From an industry perspective, according to financial reports, NetEase Youdao's net revenue from learning products in 2020 was 540 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 255.1%. In particular, net revenue reached 237 million yuan in the fourth quarter, a year-on-year increase of 253.8%. Youdao dictionary pens, which won the top sales in both the 618 and Double Eleven electronic dictionary categories, played a significant role in these several stock shortages.</p><p>Amidst a generally sluggish online education industry this year, NetEase Youdao's Q1 2021 financial report, released on May 18, showed net revenue from learning products of 202 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 279.8%, setting a new record.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5b1159fb27eb948af14c80b5e8612045\" tg-width=\"662\" tg-height=\"449\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>Online education is declining, while educational hardware is moving upwards. NetEase Youdao is gradually becoming a leading player in the educational hardware sector. The recent news of the long-established player Reading Boy going public in Hong Kong has also shown people the enormous potential of smart educational hardware in the new era.</p><p>For consumers, educational products often separate users from decision-makers. The advantage of hardware is that it can meet parents' needs for learning products. Although educational products are for students, they actually solve parents' problems, which is why products such as reading pens and learning machines are so popular.</p><p>Henry, a member of the Internet Jianghu team who once infiltrated \"chicken kids\" groups, made an observation and found that most \"chicken kids\" parents actually hold a \"both hands must be grasped and both hands must be strong\" attitude towards after-school tutoring and smart educational hardware. However, they do not care about different brands of hardware themselves. What they really focus on is whether the content is of high quality, whether it can truly help children improve their learning efficiency, and whether it can solve the pain points of parents' after-school tutoring. One parent even expressed their hope that online education companies could launch related educational hardware.</p><p>This shows that parents have a natural sense of trust in online education companies that create hardware, just like Didi does for freight, Gaode Maps, etc.<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BIDU\">Baidu</a>The entry of companies like Maps into the aggregated ride-hailing market makes the logic of traffic monetization smoother. For companies like NetEase and Youdao, focusing on the hardware market is certainly an option, and their content ecosystems also have natural advantages.</p><p>From the perspective of the B-end of educational hardware, new technologies of the times often hold enormous potential.</p><p>In the past, educational infrastructure consisted of tools such as blackboards and chalk. With the advent of the Internet age, projection has become almost widespread in the school market. Future educational infrastructure may be intelligent educational products, but this remains a huge blue ocean to be developed.</p><p>In the short term, the value chain of the education industry is content > tools > channels; in the long term, it is hardware tools > channels > content.</p><p>From a cross-industry perspective, this value chain also aligns to some extent with internet companies in other sectors.

在线教育的一场“内卷游戏”\n在线教育这两年的营销投放有多疯狂？无辜群众的耳朵肯定清楚。\n“帮帮帮，网课上作业帮”，“上网课，用猿辅导，做习题，用猿题库”......\n洗脑广告从最早的快消品到二手车，再到如今的在线教育，以往可能还只是电视投放，而如今在网络、车站、电梯间，全方位场景占领，完全可以用铺天盖地来形容。这样的广告投放背后，是一个行业营销趋于疯狂的缩影，赛道的剧烈升温，让在线教育痛点加深，即获客成本不断升高。\n据App Growing数据，2020年Q4，在线教育移动端广告数量汹涌挺进行业广告数榜单Top5。有数据显示，2020年Q1-Q3，猿辅导、作业帮、学而思网校三家在营销方面投放总额约达55亿元，同比增长超200%。足可见在线教育赛道的玩家们在营销上手笔可谓“一日千里”，这自然也意味着精力愈加分散，失控的风险越来越大。\n在线教育的营销导向反应到内容层面，越来越多的辅导老师变身“Tony老师”，从教课侧重到卖课。乱象丛生，监管的到来便仅剩下时间问题。\n这场内卷游戏能走到今天的局面，背后的原因之一，离不开资本催熟。\n据天眼查数据，教育行业2020上半年融资金额排名前十的企业中，9家为在线教育企业，据统计，2020年，中国在线教育行业融资额超过了之前十年的融资总和，突破500亿元。\n\n就在线教育而言，近两年的获客成本升高并不是因为流量越来越贵。赛道热度与资本数量往往是双向驱动的，随着行业市场规模扩大，资本们纷纷入局，行业竞争日益加剧。\n这样的竞争是否良性？行业早期竞争激烈，做大市场无可厚非，奈何资本的催熟效应剧烈，市场体量迅速起来，余下的时间里，只剩无尽的行业内卷。\n易到周航分享创业经历时曾经提到，“产品没做好之前大家都在烧钱打广告，这会迫使一些玩家不得不去跟进投放广告，打营销战，无法把资源放在打磨产品上。”\n而监管的到来，一定程度上，能够让一些早就想在营销战上放缓节奏的玩家们可以放心点一下刹车。\n这场内卷游戏的另一方面原因在于，互联网商业模式的特性使然。\n就比如曾经的二手车电商虚火猛烧，行业出现的本意是通过互联网赋能，解决传统二手车交易的痛点，结果则本末倒置，除了轰轰烈烈的营销大战，该有的痛点几乎没有得到改善，落得一地鸡毛。\n类似的模式还有早期网约车，同样是野蛮生长，同样是大量的烧钱营销，只不过与二手车电商的结局天壤之别，还冲出了滴滴这样的超级巨头。主要原因在于，在营销的内卷之余，网约车真正解决了传统出租车行业的诸多痛点，随着监管到来，行业遇到的并非寒冬，而是一把向上的推力。\n这样的互联网商业模式，本质上是因为，互联网商业强依赖于信息传递的效率，而提高效率，营销导向往往是效果最直接的方式。\n一位传统教育市场人员曾说：“你不对战，对手就会一直打你，互联网搞流量的一批人来做教育，‘玩法’很多。”至于玩法，绕不开营销二字。\n如今在线教育监管突至，未必不是一件好事，至少行业能够冷静下来，专心打磨内容，而不是在营销增长的内卷游戏上死磕，因为总有一天增量市场会变成存量市场，到时候拼的还是内容。\n2 在线教育明天的太阳\n监管降临，不是偶然。如果说内容能够带来扎实的沉淀，过度营销带来的，则是更多焦虑。\n教育承载了太多的东西，对房地产行业而言，教育催生了如今令大部分人望而生畏的学区房；对于目前中国迫在眉睫的人口问题，部分年轻人选择“躺平”，在三胎政策开放的环境下，人口增长的瓶颈来自于年轻人的生育意愿下降，这样的下降背后少不了教育焦虑这座大山。\n一如年轻人的生育焦虑，在线教育确实需要一场“去焦虑化”行动。\n如何实现这样的“去焦虑化”呢？\n教育行业的市场规模不言而喻，但教育的范畴并不单单局限于在线教育。教育资源不平衡具有长期性，目前来看，新技术是一个比较好的弥补方式，以AI时代的新技术赋能，真正去重构教育行业的基础设施，不失为一个当下更加明朗的方向。\n从外部来看，据工信部数据显示，2020年底，我国已累积开通5G基站1.8万个，三大运营商共有5G套餐用户数3.22亿。5G技术的日渐普及，为重构教育硬件提供了更大的可能性，无论是对算力驱动的数据化还是对AI驱动的智能化都是重要的基础资源。\n再从行业内部来看，据财报，网易有道2020年学习产品净收入为5.40亿元，同比增长255.1%。尤其是第四季度净收入达2.37亿元，同比增长253.8%。这其中几度断货，在618与双十一电子辞典品类销量双夺冠的有道词典笔功不可没。\n而在今年在线教育行业普遍遇冷的大环境下，而在网易有道5月18日新出炉的2021Q1财报中，学习产品净收入2.02亿元，同比增长达到了279.8%，再创新高。\n\n在线教育向下，教育硬件向上，网易有道正在逐渐成为教育硬件赛道的头部玩家，而近期传来的老牌玩家读书郎赴港IPO消息，同样让人们看到了整个智能教育硬件在新时代的巨大潜力。\n对于C端用户而言，教育产品往往是使用者与决策者分离。硬件的优势在于，能够满足家长对学习产品的需求，教育产品虽然是学生用，但解决的实际上是家长的难题，这也是为什么点读笔、学习机等产品很火。\n曾潜入“鸡娃”群的互联网江湖团队成员Henry作过一篇观察，发现其实大部分“鸡娃”家长对课后辅导及智能教育硬件是持着“两手都要抓，两手都要硬”的态度，但对于不同品牌硬件本身并不在乎，真正注重的是其内容是否优质，能否真正帮助孩子提升学习效率，解决家长课余辅导痛点。更有一位家长提到希望在线教育公司可以推出相关教育硬件。\n由此可见，家长对于在线教育公司造硬件是有着一种天然信任感的，就像滴滴做货运，高德地图、百度地图等进军聚合打车赛道，这样的流量变现逻辑更加顺畅。对于网易有道们而言，发力硬件市场是有的，企业的内容生态也存在天然优势。\n从教育硬件的B端来看，时代新技术往往蕴藏着巨大潜力。\n在过去，教育的基础设施是黑板、粉笔之类的工具，随着互联网时代到来，投影几乎普及整个学校市场。未来的教育基础设施，则可能是智能化的教育产品，但这仍然是一片待开发的巨大蓝海。\n教育行业的价值链条，从短期来看，是内容>工具>渠道，从长期来看，则是硬件工具>渠道>内容。\n跨行业地来看，这样的价值链条与其他赛道的互联网企业也有着一定程度的照应。从亚马逊推出Kindle，到微软的Surface，再到国内的互联网大厂们纷纷加码硬件，做智能音箱、学习产品等等。大家普遍看好硬件潮的原因离不开其背后的入口属性。\n就像苹果正如日中天时，微软推出了Surface，背后的逻辑自是不难理解，因为苹果在做硬件的时候，IOS正在给微软造成巨大威胁。\n回归到教育行业，“软硬兼施”将会是未来一段时间内在线教育玩家们的一个答案。\n毕竟从战略层面来看，硬件、内容、渠道能够达成生态化发展，才能形成稳固的护城河，尤其是在线教育遇冷的当下，把硬件提上日程，不失为一条出路。","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"AMZN":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1242,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":167060748,"gmtCreate":1624239676284,"gmtModify":1703831232231,"author":{"id":"3584434979527981","authorId":"3584434979527981","name":"Mingo6666","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a965165a008f9ab05845229df3b65591","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3584434979527981","idStr":"3584434979527981"},"themes":[],"title":"","htmlText":"Hmm","listText":"Hmm","text":"Hmm","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/167060748","repostId":"1123620007","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1123620007","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"为用户提供金融资讯、行情、数据，旨在帮助投资者理解世界，做投资决策。","home_visible":1,"media_name":"老虎资讯综合","id":"102","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1624238540,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1123620007?lang=en_US&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-21

After all, online education has indeed achieved equality in quality education and given full play to the universal benefit of education. The value of the industry cannot be denied.</p><p><h2>1. An \"involution game\" in online education</h2>How crazy has the marketing campaign for online education been in the past two years? The ears of innocent people must be clear.</p><p>\"Help, help, online classes, homework help,\" \"Take online classes, use Yuan Tutor, do exercises, use Yuan Question Bank\"...</p><p>Brainwashing advertising has evolved from the earliest fast-moving consumer goods to used cars, and now to online education. In the past, it may have only been placed on television, but now it occupies all scenarios in the internet, train stations, and elevators, and can be described as overwhelming. Behind this advertising campaign lies a microcosm of an industry's marketing frenzy. The dramatic rise in the sector has deepened the pain point of online education, namely, the continuous increase in customer acquisition costs.</p><p>According to data from App Growing, in Q4 2020, the number of mobile advertisements in online education surged and entered the top 5 in the industry advertising rankings. Data shows that from Q1 to Q3 of 2020, Yuanfudao, Zuoyebang, and Xueersi Online School invested a total of approximately 5.5 billion yuan in marketing, representing a year-on-year increase of over 200%. It is clear that players in the online education industry are making rapid progress in marketing, which naturally means that their energy is becoming increasingly scattered and the risk of things getting out of control is growing.</p><p>The marketing orientation of online education is reflected in the content level, with more and more tutors transforming into \"Tony teachers,\" shifting their focus from teaching to selling courses. With chaos rife, it's only a matter of time before regulation arrives.</p><p>One of the reasons why this involutionary game has reached its current state is inseparable from the catalysis of capital.</p><p>According to Tianyancha data, among the top ten companies in the education industry in terms of financing amount in the first half of 2020, 9 were online education companies. According to statistics, in 2020, the financing amount of China's online education industry exceeded the total financing amount of the previous ten years, exceeding 50 billion yuan.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2ca166e95980a81eea72f9f3701aaa4a\" tg-width=\"550\" tg-height=\"309\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>In the case of online education, the increase in customer acquisition costs in the past two years is not due to increasingly expensive traffic. The popularity of a sector and the amount of capital are often driven in both directions. As the industry market expands, capital flocks into the market, and industry competition intensifies.</p><p>Is this kind of competition healthy? In the early days of the industry, competition was fierce, and it was understandable to expand the market. However, the maturation effect of capital was strong, and the market size grew rapidly. In the remaining time, only endless industry involution remained.</p><p>When sharing his entrepreneurial experience, Zhou Hang of Yidao once mentioned, \"Before the product is done well, everyone is burning money on advertising. This forces some players to follow up with advertising and wage marketing battles, and they cannot focus their resources on refining the product.\"</p><p>The arrival of regulations has, to some extent, allowed some players who had long wanted to slow down their marketing efforts to put the brakes on with peace of mind.</p><p>Another reason for this competitive game is the nature of the internet business model.</p><p>For example, the used car e-commerce industry was once booming. The original intention of the industry was to solve the pain points of traditional used car transactions through the Internet. However, it put the cart before the horse. Apart from a fierce marketing war, the pain points that should have been addressed were hardly improved, leaving the industry in a mess.</p><p>A similar model existed in the early days of ride-hailing services, which also experienced rapid growth and a large amount of money-burning marketing. However, their fate was completely different from that of used car e-commerce, and they even emerged as a super giant like Didi. The main reason is that, amidst the fierce marketing competition, ride-hailing services have truly solved many pain points in the traditional taxi industry. With the arrival of regulations, the industry is not facing a winter, but rather an upward push.</p><p>This internet business model is essentially because it relies heavily on the efficiency of information transmission, and marketing-oriented approaches are often the most direct way to improve efficiency.</p><p>A traditional education market insider once said, \"If you don't compete, your opponents will keep attacking you. There are many ways to 'play' education, especially for people who generate traffic on the internet.\" As for the ways to play, the word \"marketing\" cannot be ignored.</p><p>The sudden regulation of online education may not be a bad thing. At least the industry can calm down and focus on refining content instead of fighting tooth and nail in the involution game of marketing growth, because one day the incremental market will become the existing market, and then the competition will still be about content.</p><p><h2>2. The Sun of Tomorrow in Online Education</h2>The arrival of regulation is not accidental. While content can bring solid accumulation, excessive marketing brings more anxiety.</p><p>Education carries too much weight. For the real estate industry, education has given rise to school district housing, which is now daunting to most people. Regarding China's current pressing population problem, some young people have chosen to \"lie flat.\" In the context of the open three-child policy, the bottleneck in population growth stems from the decline in young people's willingness to have children, and behind this decline lies the mountain of educational anxiety.</p><p>Just like young people's anxiety about childbirth, online education does indeed need a \"de-anxiety\" campaign.</p><p>How can we achieve such \"de-anxiety\"?</p><p>The market size of the education industry is self-evident, but the scope of education is not limited to online education. The imbalance in educational resources is a long-term problem. Currently, new technologies are a good way to make up for it. Empowering new technologies in the AI era to truly restructure the infrastructure of the education industry is a clearer direction at present.</p><p>From an external perspective, according to data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, by the end of 2020, my country had accumulated 18,000 5G base stations, and the three major telecom operators had a total of 322 million 5G package users. The increasing popularity of 5G technology has provided greater possibilities for restructuring educational hardware, whether for computing power-driven datafication or AI-driven...<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/5RE.SI\">smart</a>Chemistry is an important basic resource.</p><p>From an industry perspective, according to financial reports, NetEase Youdao's net revenue from learning products in 2020 was 540 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 255.1%. In particular, net revenue reached 237 million yuan in the fourth quarter, a year-on-year increase of 253.8%. Youdao dictionary pens, which won the top sales in both the 618 and Double Eleven electronic dictionary categories, played a significant role in these several stock shortages.</p><p>Amidst a generally sluggish online education industry this year, NetEase Youdao's Q1 2021 financial report, released on May 18, showed net revenue from learning products of 202 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 279.8%, setting a new record.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5b1159fb27eb948af14c80b5e8612045\" tg-width=\"662\" tg-height=\"449\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>Online education is declining, while educational hardware is moving upwards. NetEase Youdao is gradually becoming a leading player in the educational hardware sector. The recent news of the long-established player Reading Boy going public in Hong Kong has also shown people the enormous potential of smart educational hardware in the new era.</p><p>For consumers, educational products often separate users from decision-makers. The advantage of hardware is that it can meet parents' needs for learning products. Although educational products are for students, they actually solve parents' problems, which is why products such as reading pens and learning machines are so popular.</p><p>Henry, a member of the Internet Jianghu team who once infiltrated \"chicken kids\" groups, made an observation and found that most \"chicken kids\" parents actually hold a \"both hands must be grasped and both hands must be strong\" attitude towards after-school tutoring and smart educational hardware. However, they do not care about different brands of hardware themselves. What they really focus on is whether the content is of high quality, whether it can truly help children improve their learning efficiency, and whether it can solve the pain points of parents' after-school tutoring. One parent even expressed their hope that online education companies could launch related educational hardware.</p><p>This shows that parents have a natural sense of trust in online education companies that create hardware, just like Didi does for freight, Gaode Maps, etc.<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BIDU\">Baidu</a>The entry of companies like Maps into the aggregated ride-hailing market makes the logic of traffic monetization smoother. For companies like NetEase and Youdao, focusing on the hardware market is certainly an option, and their content ecosystems also have natural advantages.</p><p>From the perspective of the B-end of educational hardware, new technologies of the times often hold enormous potential.</p><p>In the past, educational infrastructure consisted of tools such as blackboards and chalk. With the advent of the Internet age, projection has become almost widespread in the school market. Future educational infrastructure may be intelligent educational products, but this remains a huge blue ocean to be developed.</p><p>In the short term, the value chain of the education industry is content > tools > channels; in the long term, it is hardware tools > channels > content.</p><p>From a cross-industry perspective, this value chain also aligns to some extent with internet companies in other sectors. From<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMZN\">Amazon</a>Launch Kindle, to<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSFT\">Microsoft</a>From the Surface, to major domestic internet companies investing heavily in hardware, making smart speakers, learning products, and more. The reason why people are generally optimistic about the hardware trend is inseparable from its underlying entry point attributes.</p><p>just like<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AAPL\">Apple</a>At its peak, Microsoft launched the Surface, and the logic behind it is not hard to understand, because while Apple was making hardware, IOS was posing a huge threat to Microsoft.</p><p>Returning to the education industry, a combination of soft and hard approaches will be an answer for online education players in the near future.</p><p>After all, from a strategic perspective, only when hardware, content, and channels can achieve ecological development can a solid competitive advantage be formed. Especially now that online education is cooling down, putting hardware on the agenda is a viable solution.</p>","source":"lsy1582774893293","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Online education has suddenly come to a standstill, but smart hardware is making a surge?</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 12.5px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nOnline education has suddenly come to a standstill, but smart hardware is making a surge?\n</h2>\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n<p class=\"head\">\n<strong class=\"h-name small\">互联网江湖</strong><span class=\"h-time small\">2021-06-22 13:56</span>\n</p>\n</h4>\n</header>\n<article>\n<p>With summer vacation approaching and the three-child policy fully implemented, the online education industry should be gearing up and ready to take off, both in the short and long term.

The ears of innocent people must be clear.</p><p>\"Help, help, online classes, homework help,\" \"Take online classes, use Yuan Tutor, do exercises, use Yuan Question Bank\"...</p><p>Brainwashing advertising has evolved from the earliest fast-moving consumer goods to used cars, and now to online education. In the past, it may have only been placed on television, but now it occupies all scenarios in the internet, train stations, and elevators, and can be described as overwhelming. Behind this advertising campaign lies a microcosm of an industry's marketing frenzy. The dramatic rise in the sector has deepened the pain point of online education, namely, the continuous increase in customer acquisition costs.</p><p>According to data from App Growing, in Q4 2020, the number of mobile advertisements in online education surged and entered the top 5 in the industry advertising rankings. Data shows that from Q1 to Q3 of 2020, Yuanfudao, Zuoyebang, and Xueersi Online School invested a total of approximately 5.5 billion yuan in marketing, representing a year-on-year increase of over 200%. It is clear that players in the online education industry are making rapid progress in marketing, which naturally means that their energy is becoming increasingly scattered and the risk of things getting out of control is growing.</p><p>The marketing orientation of online education is reflected in the content level, with more and more tutors transforming into \"Tony teachers,\" shifting their focus from teaching to selling courses. With chaos rife, it's only a matter of time before regulation arrives.</p><p>One of the reasons why this involutionary game has reached its current state is inseparable from the catalysis of capital.</p><p>According to Tianyancha data, among the top ten companies in the education industry in terms of financing amount in the first half of 2020, 9 were online education companies. According to statistics, in 2020, the financing amount of China's online education industry exceeded the total financing amount of the previous ten years, exceeding 50 billion yuan.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2ca166e95980a81eea72f9f3701aaa4a\" tg-width=\"550\" tg-height=\"309\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>In the case of online education, the increase in customer acquisition costs in the past two years is not due to increasingly expensive traffic. The popularity of a sector and the amount of capital are often driven in both directions. As the industry market expands, capital flocks into the market, and industry competition intensifies.</p><p>Is this kind of competition healthy? In the early days of the industry, competition was fierce, and it was understandable to expand the market. However, the maturation effect of capital was strong, and the market size grew rapidly. In the remaining time, only endless industry involution remained.</p><p>When sharing his entrepreneurial experience, Zhou Hang of Yidao once mentioned, \"Before the product is done well, everyone is burning money on advertising. This forces some players to follow up with advertising and wage marketing battles, and they cannot focus their resources on refining the product.\"</p><p>The arrival of regulations has, to some extent, allowed some players who had long wanted to slow down their marketing efforts to put the brakes on with peace of mind.</p><p>Another reason for this competitive game is the nature of the internet business model.</p><p>For example, the used car e-commerce industry was once booming. The original intention of the industry was to solve the pain points of traditional used car transactions through the Internet. However, it put the cart before the horse. Apart from a fierce marketing war, the pain points that should have been addressed were hardly improved, leaving the industry in a mess.</p><p>A similar model existed in the early days of ride-hailing services, which also experienced rapid growth and a large amount of money-burning marketing. However, their fate was completely different from that of used car e-commerce, and they even emerged as a super giant like Didi. The main reason is that, amidst the fierce marketing competition, ride-hailing services have truly solved many pain points in the traditional taxi industry. With the arrival of regulations, the industry is not facing a winter, but rather an upward push.</p><p>This internet business model is essentially because it relies heavily on the efficiency of information transmission, and marketing-oriented approaches are often the most direct way to improve efficiency.</p><p>A traditional education market insider once said, \"If you don't compete, your opponents will keep attacking you. There are many ways to 'play' education, especially for people who generate traffic on the internet.\" As for the ways to play, the word \"marketing\" cannot be ignored.</p><p>The sudden regulation of online education may not be a bad thing. At least the industry can calm down and focus on refining content instead of fighting tooth and nail in the involution game of marketing growth, because one day the incremental market will become the existing market, and then the competition will still be about content.</p><p><h2>2. The Sun of Tomorrow in Online Education</h2>The arrival of regulation is not accidental. While content can bring solid accumulation, excessive marketing brings more anxiety.</p><p>Education carries too much weight. For the real estate industry, education has given rise to school district housing, which is now daunting to most people. Regarding China's current pressing population problem, some young people have chosen to \"lie flat.\" In the context of the open three-child policy, the bottleneck in population growth stems from the decline in young people's willingness to have children, and behind this decline lies the mountain of educational anxiety.</p><p>Just like young people's anxiety about childbirth, online education does indeed need a \"de-anxiety\" campaign.</p><p>How can we achieve such \"de-anxiety\"?</p><p>The market size of the education industry is self-evident, but the scope of education is not limited to online education. The imbalance in educational resources is a long-term problem. Currently, new technologies are a good way to make up for it. Empowering new technologies in the AI era to truly restructure the infrastructure of the education industry is a clearer direction at present.</p><p>From an external perspective, according to data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, by the end of 2020, my country had accumulated 18,000 5G base stations, and the three major telecom operators had a total of 322 million 5G package users. The increasing popularity of 5G technology has provided greater possibilities for restructuring educational hardware, whether for computing power-driven datafication or AI-driven...<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/5RE.SI\">smart</a>Chemistry is an important basic resource.</p><p>From an industry perspective, according to financial reports, NetEase Youdao's net revenue from learning products in 2020 was 540 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 255.1%. In particular, net revenue reached 237 million yuan in the fourth quarter, a year-on-year increase of 253.8%. Youdao dictionary pens, which won the top sales in both the 618 and Double Eleven electronic dictionary categories, played a significant role in these several stock shortages.</p><p>Amidst a generally sluggish online education industry this year, NetEase Youdao's Q1 2021 financial report, released on May 18, showed net revenue from learning products of 202 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 279.8%, setting a new record.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5b1159fb27eb948af14c80b5e8612045\" tg-width=\"662\" tg-height=\"449\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>Online education is declining, while educational hardware is moving upwards. NetEase Youdao is gradually becoming a leading player in the educational hardware sector. The recent news of the long-established player Reading Boy going public in Hong Kong has also shown people the enormous potential of smart educational hardware in the new era.</p><p>For consumers, educational products often separate users from decision-makers. The advantage of hardware is that it can meet parents' needs for learning products. Although educational products are for students, they actually solve parents' problems, which is why products such as reading pens and learning machines are so popular.</p><p>Henry, a member of the Internet Jianghu team who once infiltrated \"chicken kids\" groups, made an observation and found that most \"chicken kids\" parents actually hold a \"both hands must be grasped and both hands must be strong\" attitude towards after-school tutoring and smart educational hardware. However, they do not care about different brands of hardware themselves. What they really focus on is whether the content is of high quality, whether it can truly help children improve their learning efficiency, and whether it can solve the pain points of parents' after-school tutoring. One parent even expressed their hope that online education companies could launch related educational hardware.</p><p>This shows that parents have a natural sense of trust in online education companies that create hardware, just like Didi does for freight, Gaode Maps, etc.<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BIDU\">Baidu</a>The entry of companies like Maps into the aggregated ride-hailing market makes the logic of traffic monetization smoother. For companies like NetEase and Youdao, focusing on the hardware market is certainly an option, and their content ecosystems also have natural advantages.</p><p>From the perspective of the B-end of educational hardware, new technologies of the times often hold enormous potential.</p><p>In the past, educational infrastructure consisted of tools such as blackboards and chalk. With the advent of the Internet age, projection has become almost widespread in the school market. Future educational infrastructure may be intelligent educational products, but this remains a huge blue ocean to be developed.</p><p>In the short term, the value chain of the education industry is content > tools > channels; in the long term, it is hardware tools > channels > content.</p><p>From a cross-industry perspective, this value chain also aligns to some extent with internet companies in other sectors. From<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMZN\">Amazon</a>Launch Kindle, to<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSFT\">Microsoft</a>From the Surface, to major domestic internet companies investing heavily in hardware, making smart speakers, learning products, and more. The reason why people are generally optimistic about the hardware trend is inseparable from its underlying entry point attributes.</p><p>just like<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AAPL\">Apple</a>At its peak, Microsoft launched the Surface, and the logic behind it is not hard to understand, because while Apple was making hardware, IOS was posing a huge threat to Microsoft.</p><p>Returning to the education industry, a combination of soft and hard approaches will be an answer for online education players in the near future.</p><p>After all, from a strategic perspective, only when hardware, content, and channels can achieve ecological development can a solid competitive advantage be formed. Especially now that online education is cooling down, putting hardware on the agenda is a viable solution.</p>\n<div class=\"bt-text\">\n\n\n<p> source：<a

在线教育的一场“内卷游戏”\n在线教育这两年的营销投放有多疯狂？无辜群众的耳朵肯定清楚。\n“帮帮帮，网课上作业帮”，“上网课，用猿辅导，做习题，用猿题库”......\n洗脑广告从最早的快消品到二手车，再到如今的在线教育，以往可能还只是电视投放，而如今在网络、车站、电梯间，全方位场景占领，完全可以用铺天盖地来形容。这样的广告投放背后，是一个行业营销趋于疯狂的缩影，赛道的剧烈升温，让在线教育痛点加深，即获客成本不断升高。\n据App Growing数据，2020年Q4，在线教育移动端广告数量汹涌挺进行业广告数榜单Top5。有数据显示，2020年Q1-Q3，猿辅导、作业帮、学而思网校三家在营销方面投放总额约达55亿元，同比增长超200%。足可见在线教育赛道的玩家们在营销上手笔可谓“一日千里”，这自然也意味着精力愈加分散，失控的风险越来越大。\n在线教育的营销导向反应到内容层面，越来越多的辅导老师变身“Tony老师”，从教课侧重到卖课。乱象丛生，监管的到来便仅剩下时间问题。\n这场内卷游戏能走到今天的局面，背后的原因之一，离不开资本催熟。\n据天眼查数据，教育行业2020上半年融资金额排名前十的企业中，9家为在线教育企业，据统计，2020年，中国在线教育行业融资额超过了之前十年的融资总和，突破500亿元。\n\n就在线教育而言，近两年的获客成本升高并不是因为流量越来越贵。赛道热度与资本数量往往是双向驱动的，随着行业市场规模扩大，资本们纷纷入局，行业竞争日益加剧。\n这样的竞争是否良性？行业早期竞争激烈，做大市场无可厚非，奈何资本的催熟效应剧烈，市场体量迅速起来，余下的时间里，只剩无尽的行业内卷。\n易到周航分享创业经历时曾经提到，“产品没做好之前大家都在烧钱打广告，这会迫使一些玩家不得不去跟进投放广告，打营销战，无法把资源放在打磨产品上。”\n而监管的到来，一定程度上，能够让一些早就想在营销战上放缓节奏的玩家们可以放心点一下刹车。\n这场内卷游戏的另一方面原因在于，互联网商业模式的特性使然。\n就比如曾经的二手车电商虚火猛烧，行业出现的本意是通过互联网赋能，解决传统二手车交易的痛点，结果则本末倒置，除了轰轰烈烈的营销大战，该有的痛点几乎没有得到改善，落得一地鸡毛。\n类似的模式还有早期网约车，同样是野蛮生长，同样是大量的烧钱营销，只不过与二手车电商的结局天壤之别，还冲出了滴滴这样的超级巨头。主要原因在于，在营销的内卷之余，网约车真正解决了传统出租车行业的诸多痛点，随着监管到来，行业遇到的并非寒冬，而是一把向上的推力。\n这样的互联网商业模式，本质上是因为，互联网商业强依赖于信息传递的效率，而提高效率，营销导向往往是效果最直接的方式。\n一位传统教育市场人员曾说：“你不对战，对手就会一直打你，互联网搞流量的一批人来做教育，‘玩法’很多。”至于玩法，绕不开营销二字。\n如今在线教育监管突至，未必不是一件好事，至少行业能够冷静下来，专心打磨内容，而不是在营销增长的内卷游戏上死磕，因为总有一天增量市场会变成存量市场，到时候拼的还是内容。\n2 在线教育明天的太阳\n监管降临，不是偶然。如果说内容能够带来扎实的沉淀，过度营销带来的，则是更多焦虑。\n教育承载了太多的东西，对房地产行业而言，教育催生了如今令大部分人望而生畏的学区房；对于目前中国迫在眉睫的人口问题，部分年轻人选择“躺平”，在三胎政策开放的环境下，人口增长的瓶颈来自于年轻人的生育意愿下降，这样的下降背后少不了教育焦虑这座大山。\n一如年轻人的生育焦虑，在线教育确实需要一场“去焦虑化”行动。\n如何实现这样的“去焦虑化”呢？\n教育行业的市场规模不言而喻，但教育的范畴并不单单局限于在线教育。教育资源不平衡具有长期性，目前来看，新技术是一个比较好的弥补方式，以AI时代的新技术赋能，真正去重构教育行业的基础设施，不失为一个当下更加明朗的方向。\n从外部来看，据工信部数据显示，2020年底，我国已累积开通5G基站1.8万个，三大运营商共有5G套餐用户数3.22亿。5G技术的日渐普及，为重构教育硬件提供了更大的可能性，无论是对算力驱动的数据化还是对AI驱动的智能化都是重要的基础资源。\n再从行业内部来看，据财报，网易有道2020年学习产品净收入为5.40亿元，同比增长255.1%。尤其是第四季度净收入达2.37亿元，同比增长253.8%。这其中几度断货，在618与双十一电子辞典品类销量双夺冠的有道词典笔功不可没。\n而在今年在线教育行业普遍遇冷的大环境下，而在网易有道5月18日新出炉的2021Q1财报中，学习产品净收入2.02亿元，同比增长达到了279.8%，再创新高。\n\n在线教育向下，教育硬件向上，网易有道正在逐渐成为教育硬件赛道的头部玩家，而近期传来的老牌玩家读书郎赴港IPO消息，同样让人们看到了整个智能教育硬件在新时代的巨大潜力。\n对于C端用户而言，教育产品往往是使用者与决策者分离。硬件的优势在于，能够满足家长对学习产品的需求，教育产品虽然是学生用，但解决的实际上是家长的难题，这也是为什么点读笔、学习机等产品很火。\n曾潜入“鸡娃”群的互联网江湖团队成员Henry作过一篇观察，发现其实大部分“鸡娃”家长对课后辅导及智能教育硬件是持着“两手都要抓，两手都要硬”的态度，但对于不同品牌硬件本身并不在乎，真正注重的是其内容是否优质，能否真正帮助孩子提升学习效率，解决家长课余辅导痛点。更有一位家长提到希望在线教育公司可以推出相关教育硬件。\n由此可见，家长对于在线教育公司造硬件是有着一种天然信任感的，就像滴滴做货运，高德地图、百度地图等进军聚合打车赛道，这样的流量变现逻辑更加顺畅。对于网易有道们而言，发力硬件市场是有的，企业的内容生态也存在天然优势。\n从教育硬件的B端来看，时代新技术往往蕴藏着巨大潜力。\n在过去，教育的基础设施是黑板、粉笔之类的工具，随着互联网时代到来，投影几乎普及整个学校市场。未来的教育基础设施，则可能是智能化的教育产品，但这仍然是一片待开发的巨大蓝海。\n教育行业的价值链条，从短期来看，是内容>工具>渠道，从长期来看，则是硬件工具>渠道>内容。\n跨行业地来看，这样的价值链条与其他赛道的互联网企业也有着一定程度的照应。从亚马逊推出Kindle，到微软的Surface，再到国内的互联网大厂们纷纷加码硬件，做智能音箱、学习产品等等。大家普遍看好硬件潮的原因离不开其背后的入口属性。\n就像苹果正如日中天时，微软推出了Surface，背后的逻辑自是不难理解，因为苹果在做硬件的时候，IOS正在给微软造成巨大威胁。\n回归到教育行业，“软硬兼施”将会是未来一段时间内在线教育玩家们的一个答案。\n毕竟从战略层面来看，硬件、内容、渠道能够达成生态化发展，才能形成稳固的护城河，尤其是在线教育遇冷的当下，把硬件提上日程，不失为一条出路。","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"AMZN":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1242,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":167060748,"gmtCreate":1624239676284,"gmtModify":1703831232231,"author":{"id":"3584434979527981","authorId":"3584434979527981","name":"Mingo6666","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a965165a008f9ab05845229df3b65591","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3584434979527981","authorIdStr":"3584434979527981"},"themes":[],"title":"","htmlText":"Hmm","listText":"Hmm","text":"Hmm","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/167060748","repostId":"1123620007","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1123620007","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"为用户提供金融资讯、行情、数据，旨在帮助投资者理解世界，做投资决策。","home_visible":1,"media_name":"老虎资讯综合","id":"102","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1624238540,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1123620007?lang=en_US&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-21

In short, it is the so-called \"new middle class\".</p><p>This is indeed a considerable \"market\". According to data from Huxiu.com, the total number of new middle class users in China is currently 33.2 million, while Wu Xiaobo's \"2019 New Middle Class White Paper\" shows that the size and consumption scale of China's new middle class user group are expected to reach 450 million by 2029. However, setting goals well does not mean that NetEase Yanxuan is definitely achievable.</p><p>With the slogan \"A good life isn't that expensive\" and claiming that its products come from major brands like Muji or Samsonite, NetEase Yanxuan indeed gained a lot of attention shortly after its establishment. After all, for the new middle class who have limited economic resources but still want to maintain a certain \"prestige,\" this seems to be an extremely \"cost-effective\" option.</p><p>This was a common path for high-end e-commerce at the time—focusing on \"ODM with Chinese characteristics,\" finding the same manufacturer through \"OEM production,\" making simple modifications to the design, and then selling it through their own channels at a price that was even half that of genuine brands.</p><p>“When NetEase Yanxuan first appeared, I did often browse it and was happy to pay for some of the daily necessities it promoted. For example, towels and sheets made by the same manufacturer as Muji, or milk pots made of the same material as Zwilling.” Jiang Yuru is 27 years old and works at an internet company in Chengdu. When Jiang Yuru first graduated from university, she was a loyal user of NetEase Yanxuan. For someone who was just entering the workforce and had high demands for quality of life, but found it difficult to afford the high premiums of famous brands, \"NetEase Yanxuan's products are not big brands, but they are not bad.\"</p><p>\"Jiang Yuru\" and others briefly propelled NetEase Yanxuan into the spotlight.</p><p><b>However, NetEase Yanxuan overlooked one point—Jiang Yuru and others mostly only trusted daily necessities with low prices and low repurchase rates.</b></p><p>The reason behind this is that over the past 20 years, the per capita disposable income of Chinese families has increased year by year, the family structure has continued to shrink, people's consumption level has increased, and a trend of \"consumption upgrading\" has emerged, with people willing to spend more money to accept the premium of goods.</p><p>Therefore, NetEase Yanxuan targets the \"new middle class\" who, on the one hand, treat the mundane necessities that must be solved with the concept of \"high cost-effectiveness,\" while on the other hand, they still retain their expectations for \"big brands\" in products such as clothing, cosmetics, and electronics. At the very least, they are unwilling to pay for products that can be spotted at a glance.</p><p>However, when you open NetEase Yanxuan, you often see \"Coconut\" shoes directly labeled as coming from \"Putian,\" priced around 200 yuan, and so-called blogger recommendations that also claim that the brand manufacturer \"has maintained a long-term good cooperative relationship with well-known sports brands.\"</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5f118bc9e648532d3412d0861c6ce6d8\" tg-width=\"839\" tg-height=\"629\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Putian shoes have become a \"global top product\" for NetEase Yanxuan.</p><p>In response, Jiang Yuru's attitude is, \"I'd rather save more money to buy the original version than buy an original niche brand if all else fails.\"</p><p>This is not simply a matter of \"face-saving,\" but rather because, in the eyes of the new middle class \"Jiang Yuru\" and others, this does not align with their lifestyle and consumption attitudes. \"The plagiarism and counterfeiting behind Putian are clearly not the good life we want.\"</p><p>Tommy, 29, lives in Shanghai. He relies mostly on overseas shopping for clothes and occasionally uses NetEase Yanxuan for daily necessities. “We save money where we can, and we absolutely won’t save money where we can’t,” Tommy told Zinc Scale. Like Jiang Yuru, he feels that NetEase Yanxuan’s home textiles, socks, and underwear can be bought occasionally, while clothing, cosmetics, and maternity and baby products should be bought from big brands or more professional brands.</p><p>Aside from the much-criticized Putian products, their product quality control and after-sales service also fall short of the new middle class's imagination of a better life. On a Zhihu page titled \"How is NetEase Yanxuan?\", consumers complained about Yanxuan's product quality and after-sales service, as well as the huge gap between seller reviews and buyer reviews. This meme, which was initially overused on the Taobao platform, has been recreated on a platform that focuses on quality.</p><p><b>Therefore, it is difficult for NetEase Yanxuan to favor the new middle class by selling the same items from big brands, and it is also difficult for NetEase Yanxuan to make money by simply selling daily necessities with low repurchase rates.</b></p><p>The data clearly demonstrates this point—since 2018, NetEase Yanxuan's target of 20 billion yuan in GMV has been far from being achieved. In 2018, its e-commerce business (NetEase Koala and NetEase Yanxuan) achieved 19.235 billion yuan, with a year-on-year growth rate of 64.8%.</p><p>In September 2019, NetEase Koala was sold to Alibaba, and Liu Xiaogang, general manager of the Yanxuan Business Unit, resigned. NetEase Yanxuan was also incorporated into innovative enterprises and other businesses because it \"accounts for a very small proportion of the company's total revenue\".</p><p><b>\"Trying to tell an original story just by putting up a sign\"—the old tricks won't fool young people.</b></p><p>NetEase Yanxuan is not unaware that it will be difficult for it to reach the level of MUJI as a national brand in Japan, and the new middle class will find it difficult to continue paying for that \"big brand same style\" narrative system. Therefore, NetEase Yanxuan began to turn its attention to the future new middle class, namely Generation Z.</p><p>From launching the independent brand \"Black Pineapple\" series to launching the adult sex brand \"Spring Breeze\", NetEase Yanxuan seems to hope to attract Generation Z, who do not pursue \"brand symbol value\" but favor brand stories and individuality, by telling original brand stories.</p><p>Ideals are good, but NetEase Yanxuan has \"slacked off\" on the road to realizing them.</p><p>\"Although Yanxuan has been closely following the preferences of young people, such as products like low-alcohol liquor and small appliances, while they appear original, they are actually still playing the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) game. This is clearly not the domestic trend or niche brand that Generation Z wants,\" an industry insider pointed out. If you understand Generation Z's preferences a little, you can find that their pursuit of niche and domestic trend brands often lies in the story behind the brand, from original design to the story of the brand's establishment and development, etc. \"Compared to OEM products, they are more willing to accompany a truly original small brand to grow.\"</p><p>The thoughts of Jiaojiao, a post-00s generation, confirmed the observations of the aforementioned industry insiders: \"It's clearly just a label, while NetEase Yanxuan still emphasizes that it is original. In fact, it has no brand connotation or story at all. To put it bluntly, it just wants to make a profit from the price difference.\"</p><p>Jiaojiao gave an example: she once saw a bottle of so-called \"new concept sake\" osmanthus sparkling sake on NetEase Yanxuan. It was priced at 88 yuan and claimed to be NetEase Yanxuan's own brand. She even endorsed and recommended it with NetEase CEO Ding Lei. \"I drank three bottles of hot pot.\"</p><p>However, when Jiaojiao traced the origin to the manufacturer of this bottle of wine, \"Suzhou Bridge,\" and then did a casual search, she found that the same product from the original manufacturer cost less than 50 yuan, while the wholesale price could be as low as about 30 yuan. \"The ingredients and size are the same, it's just that the label on the bottle is different.\"<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/aa6f075306f08a085a1cb107edd05319\" tg-width=\"988\" tg-height=\"741\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">The sake brands recommended by Ding Lei are overpriced.</p><p>This is not an isolated case. Ding Lei also recommended a 198-gram self-operated brand of canned lunch meat during NetEase Yanxuan's \"Best-Selling Products\" during the \"6.18\" shopping festival, priced at 19.9 yuan. A search for the same product from the original manufacturer revealed that the 340g version was only priced at 15 yuan. Putting on a NetEase Yanxuan sign reduces the quantity by half, but the price is nearly a third higher. \"Is the NetEase Yanxuan brand worth such a premium?\" In the end, Jiaojiao turned her head and chose an original women's wine brand, even though the price was more expensive than NetEase Yanxuan.</p><p>This clearly contradicts NetEase Yanxuan's previous new expectations for itself, which were \"not e-commerce, but a brand\". In fact, over the years, the impact of the phrase \"NetEase Yanxuan\" on the minds of young users has been very vague, and to a large extent, it is \"neither an e-commerce platform nor a brand\".</p><p>Many new consumer brands rose rapidly during this period. They use a DTC marketing model that directly faces consumers, focusing more on brand building and fan management in niche product categories. Through communities, content, live streaming and other means, they have formed a stronger vertical product seeding model and won the favor of young people.</p><p>Young people like Jiaojiao are happy to pay for this, and it has made many new brands popular. During the 2020 Tmall Double Eleven shopping festival, new consumer brands that have been on Tmall for less than three years, such as 59 Seconds in the disinfection machine category, Pineapple Jun in the fascia gun category, and Biba Baby in the diaper category, achieved 357 category firsts in a single day.</p><p><b>But looking back, NetEase Yanxuan is still playing the same old trick, at most changing the gimmick—replacing the same products from big brands with \"CEO Recommendations\" or \"NetEase Employee Selected Products,\" which are obviously unlikely to create a close connection with users.</b></p><p>For this reason, products such as \"Hour Light Baijiu\" and \"Mushroom Instant Cooker\" that NetEase Yanxuan has been promoting in recent years did not actually become bestsellers at that time.</p><p>As the New Consumption Research Institute previously wrote, \"Although NetEase Yanxuan and others rely on large platforms to enjoy shade, they have still been knocked out by a group of newcomers. After all, the new consumption environment no longer needs so many online versions of Miniso... With more rational and diversified consumption demands, it may not be so easy to get young people to pay for overly packaged quality concepts.\"</p><p>Although NetEase Yanxuan App added the \"Xuanxiang\" community on June 9, which focuses on \"sharing differences together and discovering more life options\" and guides users to share their life dynamics on the App in an attempt to strengthen their connection with young people, it seems to have come somewhat late.</p><p><b>Want to learn from Pinduoduo by offering low prices and cashback, but \"can't afford to play\"?</b></p><p>Telling original stories didn't work very well, but NetEase Yanxuan didn't give up and continued to save itself, such as following Pinduoduo's tactics and expanding into lower-tier cities.</p><p>First, they launched a full refund campaign for newcomers' first order. Initially, it was a \"red envelope refund,\" but now it's a \"balance refund.\" In short, the amount refunded to users must still be used on NetEase Yanxuan.</p><p><b>This event did attract many new users to NetEase Yanxuan, but the retention rate was not necessarily high. After all, if you open social media platforms such as Zhihu and Weibo, you can see many complaints about NetEase Yanxuan being \"unaffordable\".</b></p><p>When asked, \"Is NetEase Yanxuan's full refund on the first order for newcomers a scam?\", one of the highly liked users replied, \"After spending 78 yuan to buy a barrel of cooking oil, I received two coupons for 39 yuan back from the platform. However, I had to spend 56 yuan or more to use them, and some items were not covered. I thought 56 - 39 = 17 would be a good deal, so I went to see what to buy. But I found that all items required spending 99 yuan or more to get free shipping. So, adding the shipping costs, the two coupons effectively only gave me a 29 yuan discount.\" Of course, you can enjoy the full discount as long as you reach 99, which will inadvertently lead to more spending. I don't know if this oil is any good, but I returned it right away and bought a well-known brand on Taobao instead.</p><p>There are many more such cases. Many consumers placed orders because of the word \"cashback,\" but after receiving the coupons, they found that \"you can use them, but there are many barriers to entry,\" and in the end, they didn't get much of a discount. The current \"balance refund\" campaign is also a \"new bottle of old wine\". According to the platform's rules, \"the balance returned to the account cannot be withdrawn by the supporter, but can be automatically deducted when placing an order, with a maximum deduction of 30% of the order amount.\"<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fc658684d616a2798ae5caceb0e26185\" tg-width=\"1080\" tg-height=\"809\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">On one hand, there are coupons that go viral, and on the other hand, there are tricks.</p><p>Zhang Ru, who once purchased an annual membership for NetEase Yanxuan pro, felt that \"Yanxuan has too many discount tricks.\" Zhang Ru said, \"I originally thought it was a good deal that members could frequently claim coupons, but I found that I often couldn't make payments using coupons.\"</p><p>This has also been verified on social media platforms such as Zhihu. One user said, \"I just received a 20 off coupon for every 21 yuan spent, and I excitedly scraped together 30 yuan to find that I couldn't pay. But for the same thing, if I don't use the coupon, it will go directly to the Alipay payment interface. It's a typical example of something I can't afford.\"</p><p><b>On the other hand, NetEase Yanxuan's \"welfare fan group\" is flooded with coupon information every day, which shows that Yanxuan wants to compete for market share through low-price discount strategies and community marketing. However, whether it was its low-price strategy or its community marketing, NetEase Yanxuan came too late and was not sincere enough.</b></p><p>\"After all, low prices don't align with Yanxuan's previous positioning and brand image, especially since Pinduoduo has already made coupons and cashback so popular. And creating a community isn't about simply posting coupons every day to increase user stickiness. Yanxuan obviously came too late and wasn't serious enough,\" an industry insider pointed out. \"NetEase Yanxuan is now more like a desperate attempt to seek remedies haphazardly.\"</p><p>In fact, NetEase Yanxuan had launched a 9.9 super value zone even earlier. In the special zone, Yanxuan has selected 180 best-selling products for repricing, providing consumers with the ultimate cost-effectiveness. This move sparked a strong backlash from long-time NetEase users at the time—Yanxuan has always been positioned in the mid-to-high-end market, and in the eyes of consumers, the 9.9 yuan special offer seemed to lower the platform's image.</p><p>NetEase Yanxuan, however, seems not to have learned its lesson and is going further and further down the path of deviating from its positioning.</p><p><b>The more you struggle, the harder it is to save yourself.</b></p><p>“Today, most consumers still pursue cost-effectiveness, but when the cost-effectiveness is similar, more and more people will choose brands that align with their philosophy. Moreover, these brands need to consistently convey their philosophy for a long time, making consumers believe that their philosophy is real and not created for profit,” Ma Zichun, deputy director of research at market research consulting firm Mintel, pointed out in an interview with Jiemian.</p><p>However, although NetEase Yanxuan is still \"tinkering,\" its footprints are becoming increasingly chaotic. For users, the ever-changing brand philosophy has made its form increasingly blurred.</p><p>On the one hand, the deeper it goes, the further it becomes from its initial users, the \"new middle class\"; On the other hand, the more emphasis is placed on its original brand, the less Generation Z is willing to pay for its premium.</p><p>Especially according to media reports, this year, with the total amount of retail goods declining, consumption concepts are becoming increasingly polarized. On one side, consumers are spending huge sums to buy big brands and paying a premium for the added value of brands. As a result, the price increases of luxury brands are still becoming more and more aggressive this year. On the other hand, there is a complete pursuit of low prices, with wholesale goods from Taobao, Pinduoduo, and even 1688 attracting a lot of attention.</p><p>Against this backdrop, NetEase Yanxuan has been in trouble for a long time—not because there is no market, but because there is no longer a market that belongs to \"Yanxuan\". In an increasingly diverse consumer market, fewer and fewer users are willing to choose Yanxuan, which is \"neither high nor low.\"</p><p>As a result, the more NetEase Yanxuan struggles, the harder it becomes to save itself.</p>","source":"lsy1568158634801","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Will Generation Z, who are \"lying flat,\" follow Ding Lei in recommending products on NetEase Yanxuan?</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 12.5px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nWill Generation Z, who are \"lying flat,\" follow Ding Lei in recommending products on NetEase Yanxuan?\n</h2>\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n<p class=\"head\">\n<strong class=\"h-name small\"> 锌刻度</strong><span class=\"h-time small\">2021-06-25 17:24</span>\n</p>\n</h4>\n</header>\n<article>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b46986872d7bf88f5bfa75e7ac4bd6d9\" tg-width=\"1024\" tg-height=\"683\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><b>The new middle class doesn't appreciate it, and Generation Z isn't buying it.</b></p><p>\"I drank three bottles of hot pot.”</p><p>On the details page of NetEase Yanxuan, a so-called \"new concept sake,\" NetEase CEO Ding Lei strongly recommended it.</p><p>Content seeding, leveraging social media, telling brand stories...

According to data from Huxiu.com, the total number of new middle class users in China is currently 33.2 million, while Wu Xiaobo's \"2019 New Middle Class White Paper\" shows that the size and consumption scale of China's new middle class user group are expected to reach 450 million by 2029. However, setting goals well does not mean that NetEase Yanxuan is definitely achievable.</p><p>With the slogan \"A good life isn't that expensive\" and claiming that its products come from major brands like Muji or Samsonite, NetEase Yanxuan indeed gained a lot of attention shortly after its establishment. After all, for the new middle class who have limited economic resources but still want to maintain a certain \"prestige,\" this seems to be an extremely \"cost-effective\" option.</p><p>This was a common path for high-end e-commerce at the time—focusing on \"ODM with Chinese characteristics,\" finding the same manufacturer through \"OEM production,\" making simple modifications to the design, and then selling it through their own channels at a price that was even half that of genuine brands.</p><p>“When NetEase Yanxuan first appeared, I did often browse it and was happy to pay for some of the daily necessities it promoted. For example, towels and sheets made by the same manufacturer as Muji, or milk pots made of the same material as Zwilling.” Jiang Yuru is 27 years old and works at an internet company in Chengdu. When Jiang Yuru first graduated from university, she was a loyal user of NetEase Yanxuan. For someone who was just entering the workforce and had high demands for quality of life, but found it difficult to afford the high premiums of famous brands, \"NetEase Yanxuan's products are not big brands, but they are not bad.\"</p><p>\"Jiang Yuru\" and others briefly propelled NetEase Yanxuan into the spotlight.</p><p><b>However, NetEase Yanxuan overlooked one point—Jiang Yuru and others mostly only trusted daily necessities with low prices and low repurchase rates.</b></p><p>The reason behind this is that over the past 20 years, the per capita disposable income of Chinese families has increased year by year, the family structure has continued to shrink, people's consumption level has increased, and a trend of \"consumption upgrading\" has emerged, with people willing to spend more money to accept the premium of goods.</p><p>Therefore, NetEase Yanxuan targets the \"new middle class\" who, on the one hand, treat the mundane necessities that must be solved with the concept of \"high cost-effectiveness,\" while on the other hand, they still retain their expectations for \"big brands\" in products such as clothing, cosmetics, and electronics. At the very least, they are unwilling to pay for products that can be spotted at a glance.</p><p>However, when you open NetEase Yanxuan, you often see \"Coconut\" shoes directly labeled as coming from \"Putian,\" priced around 200 yuan, and so-called blogger recommendations that also claim that the brand manufacturer \"has maintained a long-term good cooperative relationship with well-known sports brands.\"</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5f118bc9e648532d3412d0861c6ce6d8\" tg-width=\"839\" tg-height=\"629\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Putian shoes have become a \"global top product\" for NetEase Yanxuan.</p><p>In response, Jiang Yuru's attitude is, \"I'd rather save more money to buy the original version than buy an original niche brand if all else fails.\"</p><p>This is not simply a matter of \"face-saving,\" but rather because, in the eyes of the new middle class \"Jiang Yuru\" and others, this does not align with their lifestyle and consumption attitudes. \"The plagiarism and counterfeiting behind Putian are clearly not the good life we want.\"</p><p>Tommy, 29, lives in Shanghai. He relies mostly on overseas shopping for clothes and occasionally uses NetEase Yanxuan for daily necessities. “We save money where we can, and we absolutely won’t save money where we can’t,” Tommy told Zinc Scale. Like Jiang Yuru, he feels that NetEase Yanxuan’s home textiles, socks, and underwear can be bought occasionally, while clothing, cosmetics, and maternity and baby products should be bought from big brands or more professional brands.</p><p>Aside from the much-criticized Putian products, their product quality control and after-sales service also fall short of the new middle class's imagination of a better life. On a Zhihu page titled \"How is NetEase Yanxuan?\", consumers complained about Yanxuan's product quality and after-sales service, as well as the huge gap between seller reviews and buyer reviews. This meme, which was initially overused on the Taobao platform, has been recreated on a platform that focuses on quality.</p><p><b>Therefore, it is difficult for NetEase Yanxuan to favor the new middle class by selling the same items from big brands, and it is also difficult for NetEase Yanxuan to make money by simply selling daily necessities with low repurchase rates.</b></p><p>The data clearly demonstrates this point—since 2018, NetEase Yanxuan's target of 20 billion yuan in GMV has been far from being achieved. In 2018, its e-commerce business (NetEase Koala and NetEase Yanxuan) achieved 19.235 billion yuan, with a year-on-year growth rate of 64.8%.</p><p>In September 2019, NetEase Koala was sold to Alibaba, and Liu Xiaogang, general manager of the Yanxuan Business Unit, resigned. NetEase Yanxuan was also incorporated into innovative enterprises and other businesses because it \"accounts for a very small proportion of the company's total revenue\".</p><p><b>\"Trying to tell an original story just by putting up a sign\"—the old tricks won't fool young people.</b></p><p>NetEase Yanxuan is not unaware that it will be difficult for it to reach the level of MUJI as a national brand in Japan, and the new middle class will find it difficult to continue paying for that \"big brand same style\" narrative system. Therefore, NetEase Yanxuan began to turn its attention to the future new middle class, namely Generation Z.</p><p>From launching the independent brand \"Black Pineapple\" series to launching the adult sex brand \"Spring Breeze\", NetEase Yanxuan seems to hope to attract Generation Z, who do not pursue \"brand symbol value\" but favor brand stories and individuality, by telling original brand stories.</p><p>Ideals are good, but NetEase Yanxuan has \"slacked off\" on the road to realizing them.</p><p>\"Although Yanxuan has been closely following the preferences of young people, such as products like low-alcohol liquor and small appliances, while they appear original, they are actually still playing the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) game. This is clearly not the domestic trend or niche brand that Generation Z wants,\" an industry insider pointed out. If you understand Generation Z's preferences a little, you can find that their pursuit of niche and domestic trend brands often lies in the story behind the brand, from original design to the story of the brand's establishment and development, etc. \"Compared to OEM products, they are more willing to accompany a truly original small brand to grow.\"</p><p>The thoughts of Jiaojiao, a post-00s generation, confirmed the observations of the aforementioned industry insiders: \"It's clearly just a label, while NetEase Yanxuan still emphasizes that it is original. In fact, it has no brand connotation or story at all. To put it bluntly, it just wants to make a profit from the price difference.\"</p><p>Jiaojiao gave an example: she once saw a bottle of so-called \"new concept sake\" osmanthus sparkling sake on NetEase Yanxuan. It was priced at 88 yuan and claimed to be NetEase Yanxuan's own brand. She even endorsed and recommended it with NetEase CEO Ding Lei. \"I drank three bottles of hot pot.\"</p><p>However, when Jiaojiao traced the origin to the manufacturer of this bottle of wine, \"Suzhou Bridge,\" and then did a casual search, she found that the same product from the original manufacturer cost less than 50 yuan, while the wholesale price could be as low as about 30 yuan. \"The ingredients and size are the same, it's just that the label on the bottle is different.\"<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/aa6f075306f08a085a1cb107edd05319\" tg-width=\"988\" tg-height=\"741\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">The sake brands recommended by Ding Lei are overpriced.</p><p>This is not an isolated case. Ding Lei also recommended a 198-gram self-operated brand of canned lunch meat during NetEase Yanxuan's \"Best-Selling Products\" during the \"6.18\" shopping festival, priced at 19.9 yuan. A search for the same product from the original manufacturer revealed that the 340g version was only priced at 15 yuan. Putting on a NetEase Yanxuan sign reduces the quantity by half, but the price is nearly a third higher. \"Is the NetEase Yanxuan brand worth such a premium?\" In the end, Jiaojiao turned her head and chose an original women's wine brand, even though the price was more expensive than NetEase Yanxuan.</p><p>This clearly contradicts NetEase Yanxuan's previous new expectations for itself, which were \"not e-commerce, but a brand\". In fact, over the years, the impact of the phrase \"NetEase Yanxuan\" on the minds of young users has been very vague, and to a large extent, it is \"neither an e-commerce platform nor a brand\".</p><p>Many new consumer brands rose rapidly during this period. They use a DTC marketing model that directly faces consumers, focusing more on brand building and fan management in niche product categories. Through communities, content, live streaming and other means, they have formed a stronger vertical product seeding model and won the favor of young people.</p><p>Young people like Jiaojiao are happy to pay for this, and it has made many new brands popular. During the 2020 Tmall Double Eleven shopping festival, new consumer brands that have been on Tmall for less than three years, such as 59 Seconds in the disinfection machine category, Pineapple Jun in the fascia gun category, and Biba Baby in the diaper category, achieved 357 category firsts in a single day.</p><p><b>But looking back, NetEase Yanxuan is still playing the same old trick, at most changing the gimmick—replacing the same products from big brands with \"CEO Recommendations\" or \"NetEase Employee Selected Products,\" which are obviously unlikely to create a close connection with users.</b></p><p>For this reason, products such as \"Hour Light Baijiu\" and \"Mushroom Instant Cooker\" that NetEase Yanxuan has been promoting in recent years did not actually become bestsellers at that time.</p><p>As the New Consumption Research Institute previously wrote, \"Although NetEase Yanxuan and others rely on large platforms to enjoy shade, they have still been knocked out by a group of newcomers. After all, the new consumption environment no longer needs so many online versions of Miniso... With more rational and diversified consumption demands, it may not be so easy to get young people to pay for overly packaged quality concepts.\"</p><p>Although NetEase Yanxuan App added the \"Xuanxiang\" community on June 9, which focuses on \"sharing differences together and discovering more life options\" and guides users to share their life dynamics on the App in an attempt to strengthen their connection with young people, it seems to have come somewhat late.</p><p><b>Want to learn from Pinduoduo by offering low prices and cashback, but \"can't afford to play\"?</b></p><p>Telling original stories didn't work very well, but NetEase Yanxuan didn't give up and continued to save itself, such as following Pinduoduo's tactics and expanding into lower-tier cities.</p><p>First, they launched a full refund campaign for newcomers' first order. Initially, it was a \"red envelope refund,\" but now it's a \"balance refund.\" In short, the amount refunded to users must still be used on NetEase Yanxuan.</p><p><b>This event did attract many new users to NetEase Yanxuan, but the retention rate was not necessarily high. After all, if you open social media platforms such as Zhihu and Weibo, you can see many complaints about NetEase Yanxuan being \"unaffordable\".</b></p><p>When asked, \"Is NetEase Yanxuan's full refund on the first order for newcomers a scam?\", one of the highly liked users replied, \"After spending 78 yuan to buy a barrel of cooking oil, I received two coupons for 39 yuan back from the platform. However, I had to spend 56 yuan or more to use them, and some items were not covered. I thought 56 - 39 = 17 would be a good deal, so I went to see what to buy. But I found that all items required spending 99 yuan or more to get free shipping. So, adding the shipping costs, the two coupons effectively only gave me a 29 yuan discount.\" Of course, you can enjoy the full discount as long as you reach 99, which will inadvertently lead to more spending. I don't know if this oil is any good, but I returned it right away and bought a well-known brand on Taobao instead.</p><p>There are many more such cases. Many consumers placed orders because of the word \"cashback,\" but after receiving the coupons, they found that \"you can use them, but there are many barriers to entry,\" and in the end, they didn't get much of a discount. The current \"balance refund\" campaign is also a \"new bottle of old wine\". According to the platform's rules, \"the balance returned to the account cannot be withdrawn by the supporter, but can be automatically deducted when placing an order, with a maximum deduction of 30% of the order amount.\"<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fc658684d616a2798ae5caceb0e26185\" tg-width=\"1080\" tg-height=\"809\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">On one hand, there are coupons that go viral, and on the other hand, there are tricks.</p><p>Zhang Ru, who once purchased an annual membership for NetEase Yanxuan pro, felt that \"Yanxuan has too many discount tricks.\" Zhang Ru said, \"I originally thought it was a good deal that members could frequently claim coupons, but I found that I often couldn't make payments using coupons.\"</p><p>This has also been verified on social media platforms such as Zhihu. One user said, \"I just received a 20 off coupon for every 21 yuan spent, and I excitedly scraped together 30 yuan to find that I couldn't pay. But for the same thing, if I don't use the coupon, it will go directly to the Alipay payment interface. It's a typical example of something I can't afford.\"</p><p><b>On the other hand, NetEase Yanxuan's \"welfare fan group\" is flooded with coupon information every day, which shows that Yanxuan wants to compete for market share through low-price discount strategies and community marketing. However, whether it was its low-price strategy or its community marketing, NetEase Yanxuan came too late and was not sincere enough.</b></p><p>\"After all, low prices don't align with Yanxuan's previous positioning and brand image, especially since Pinduoduo has already made coupons and cashback so popular. And creating a community isn't about simply posting coupons every day to increase user stickiness. Yanxuan obviously came too late and wasn't serious enough,\" an industry insider pointed out. \"NetEase Yanxuan is now more like a desperate attempt to seek remedies haphazardly.\"</p><p>In fact, NetEase Yanxuan had launched a 9.9 super value zone even earlier. In the special zone, Yanxuan has selected 180 best-selling products for repricing, providing consumers with the ultimate cost-effectiveness. This move sparked a strong backlash from long-time NetEase users at the time—Yanxuan has always been positioned in the mid-to-high-end market, and in the eyes of consumers, the 9.9 yuan special offer seemed to lower the platform's image.</p><p>NetEase Yanxuan, however, seems not to have learned its lesson and is going further and further down the path of deviating from its positioning.</p><p><b>The more you struggle, the harder it is to save yourself.</b></p><p>“Today, most consumers still pursue cost-effectiveness, but when the cost-effectiveness is similar, more and more people will choose brands that align with their philosophy. Moreover, these brands need to consistently convey their philosophy for a long time, making consumers believe that their philosophy is real and not created for profit,” Ma Zichun, deputy director of research at market research consulting firm Mintel, pointed out in an interview with Jiemian.</p><p>However, although NetEase Yanxuan is still \"tinkering,\" its footprints are becoming increasingly chaotic. For users, the ever-changing brand philosophy has made its form increasingly blurred.</p><p>On the one hand, the deeper it goes, the further it becomes from its initial users, the \"new middle class\"; On the other hand, the more emphasis is placed on its original brand, the less Generation Z is willing to pay for its premium.</p><p>Especially according to media reports, this year, with the total amount of retail goods declining, consumption concepts are becoming increasingly polarized. On one side, consumers are spending huge sums to buy big brands and paying a premium for the added value of brands. As a result, the price increases of luxury brands are still becoming more and more aggressive this year. On the other hand, there is a complete pursuit of low prices, with wholesale goods from Taobao, Pinduoduo, and even 1688 attracting a lot of attention.</p><p>Against this backdrop, NetEase Yanxuan has been in trouble for a long time—not because there is no market, but because there is no longer a market that belongs to \"Yanxuan\". In an increasingly diverse consumer market, fewer and fewer users are willing to choose Yanxuan, which is \"neither high nor low.\"</p><p>As a result, the more NetEase Yanxuan struggles, the harder it becomes to save itself.</p>\n<div class=\"bt-text\">\n\n\n<p> source：<a href=\"https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/Y4RTLQs-kdrPFTffcty2qQ\">

“新中产”，在消费升级的洪流之中对品牌已有了更高的要求，不愿再为其高仿莆田货和糟心的售后服务买单。\n高呼着“躺平”、不愿被传统意义上的“消费主义”裹挟的Z世代，则早已不屑于“新中产”之称，更容易被个性化的原创新消费品牌吸引，而非严选这类“贴牌之流”。\n于是，为了活下去的网易严选，一边通过各种平价产品、“拼多多”式红包套路用力下沉，一边又不惜拉出CEO丁磊来为自家的各类原创品牌背书，试图拽回那群渐行渐远的“新中产”，以及消费能力正不断升级的Z世代……\n而这，比想象中更难。\n莆田货们，撑不起新中产想要的“好生活”\n“生活在一、二线城市，有一定消费见解，讲究精神层面的提升和满足，注重生活品质，追求自我价值。”\n这是网易严选在创立之初对其目标用户的一个画像，简单概括，就是所谓的“新中产”。\n\n 这的确是个不小的“盘子”，据虎嗅网的数据，目前，中国新中产用户总体体量是3320万户，而吴晓波《2019年新中产白皮书》则显示，2029年预计中国新中产用户群体规模和消费规模将达到4.5亿。\n\n但是，目标定得好，并不代表网易严选就一定摸得着。\n打出“好的生活，没那么贵”的slogan，宣称商品来自无印良品或新秀丽的大牌厂商，的确让网易严选在创立不久后就获得了大量关注。毕竟，对于经济实力有限，却又希望保持一定“逼格”的新中产而言，这看上去是“性价比”极高的选择。\n这是彼时精品电商共同的路径——主打 \" 中国特色的 ODM\"，以 \" 代工生产的方式 \" 找到同样的制造商，将设计做简单的修改，再上架到自家渠道销售，价格甚至比正品大牌便宜一半。\n“网易严选刚出现时，我的确常在上面逛一逛，也很乐意为它主推的一些生活用品买单。比如无印良品同一厂商制作的毛巾和床单，或者双立人同材质的牛奶锅。”江玉汝今年27岁，在成都的一家互联网公司工作。大学刚毕业时，江玉汝一度是网易严选的忠实用户，因为对于初入社会，对生活品质有所要求，却又难以为名牌的高溢价买单的她而言，“网易严选的产品不算大牌，但东西不差。”\n“江玉汝”们曾让网易严选短暂被推上了风口。\n然而，网易严选忽视了一点——江玉汝们对其的信任大多仅仅停留在低售价且复购率较低的日用百货。\n这背后的原因是，在这20年之间，中国家庭人均可支配收入逐年递增，家庭结构不断缩小，人们的消费水平提高，也出现了“消费升级”的趋势，人们愿意花更多的钱接受商品溢价。\n于是，网易严选瞄准的“新中产”，一边以“高性价比”的理念对待必须被解决的柴米油盐，另一边却在服饰、化妆品、电子产品等产品上仍然保留着对“大牌”的期待，至少，不愿意为一眼就能被识破的产品买单。\n而打开网易严选，你却常能看见直接标明来自“莆田”的“椰子”鞋，售价在两百元左右，还有所谓的博主推荐，同样宣称其品牌制造商“长期与知名运动品牌保持良好合作关系”。\n莆田鞋，成为网易严选的“全球尖货”\n对此，江玉汝的态度是，“宁可多攒点钱买原版，实在不行买原创的小众品牌。”\n这并非简单的“面子主义”，而是因为，在新中产“江玉汝”们看来，这并不符合他们的生活观念和消费态度，“莆田背后的抄袭、山寨底色，显然不是我们想要的好生活。”\n29岁的Tommy身在上海，服饰多靠海淘，生活日用偶尔用用网易严选。“我们是在能省的地方省一省，不能省的地方绝对不省。”Tommy告诉锌刻度，和江玉汝一样，他觉得网易严选的家纺、袜子和内裤偶尔可以买一买，服饰、化妆品和母婴用品等还得买大牌或者更专业的品牌。\n除却饱受诟病的莆田货，其产品品控和售后也难以配得上新中产们对美好生活的想象。在一条“网易严选怎么样”的知乎页面下，消费者纷纷对严选的产品品质和售后服务吐槽，吐槽卖家秀和买家秀之间的巨大差距。这种最初在淘宝平台被玩烂的梗，在一个主打品质的平台上重现。\n于是，网易严选的大牌同款很难得到新中产们的青睐，而单纯只卖复购率较低的日用百货生意，网易严选又很难赚到钱。\n数据很直观地验证了这一点——从 2018 年开始，网易严选 200 亿 GMV 的目标远未达到，2018 年，电商业务（网易考拉和网易严选）实现 192.35 亿元，同比增长率 64.8%。\n2019 年 9 月，网易考拉卖身阿里，严选事业部总经理柳晓刚离职。网易严选也因 \" 占公司总收入比例甚少 \" 的原因，并入创新企业及其他业务。\n“贴个牌就想讲原创故事”，老套路忽悠不了年轻人\n网易严选并非没有意识到，自己很难达到无印良品之于日本的国民程度，而新中产们也已经很难持续为那套“大牌同款”的叙事体系买单。于是，网易严选开始将目光投向未来的新中产，即Z世代人群。\n从推出自由品牌“黑凤梨”系列，到上线成人情趣品牌“春风”，网易严选似乎希望通过讲原创品牌故事这一套，吸引那些不追求“品牌符号价值”而是青睐品牌故事和个性的Z世代。\n理想是好的，但网易严选在实现理想这条路上又“偷懒”了。\n“尽管严选一直在紧追年轻人的喜好，比如低度酒、小家电之类的产品，但看上去是原创，实际上还是玩的贴牌那一套，这显然不是Z世代们想要的国潮品牌或者小众品牌。”业内人士指出，如果稍微了解一下Z世代的喜好，就能发现，他们对小众和国潮品牌的追求往往在于品牌背后的故事，从原创的设计、到品牌成立和发展的故事等等，“比起贴牌货，他们更愿意陪伴一个真正原创的小品牌成长。”\n“00后”娇娇的想法验证了上述业内人士的观察，“明明还是贴个牌，而网易严选还要强调自己是原创，其实根本没什么品牌内涵和故事，说白了还是想赚差价。”\n娇娇举例，她曾在网易严选上看中一瓶所谓的“新概念清酒”桂花起泡清酒，标价88元，声称是网易严选自营品牌，还拉出了网易CEO丁磊背书做推荐，“一顿火锅，我喝了三瓶。”\n然而，当娇娇溯源查到这瓶酒的厂家“苏州桥”，再随手一查，发现原厂家的同一产品价格才不到50元，批发价能低至30元左右，“配料和体量什么都一样，就是瓶身上那个标不同而已。”丁磊推荐的清酒品牌溢价过高\n\n 这并非个例，网易严选在“6·18”期间的“热卖爆款”中，丁磊还推荐了一款198克的自营品牌午餐肉罐头，售价为19.9元。锌刻度搜索原生产厂家的同款产品却发现，340g的才售价15元。贴个网易严选的牌，量少了一半，价格却贵了近三分之一。\n\n“网易严选这品牌能值这么多溢价？”最后，娇娇扭头选择了一家女性酒原创品牌，哪怕售价比网易严选更贵。\n这显然有悖于网易严选此前对自己的新期待，即“不是电商，而是品牌”。事实上，这么多年过去，“网易严选”几个字，对于年轻用户心智的影响其实非常含混，很大程度上“既不是电商，也不是品牌”。\n而众多新消费品牌却正是在这个时期迅速崛起。他们以直面消费者的DTC营销模式，更专注细分品类的品牌打造以及粉丝经营，通过社群、内容、直播等形式，形成了更强的垂直品类种草，收割年轻人的好感度。\n像娇娇这样的年轻人，乐于为此买单，并且捧红了众多新品牌。2020年天猫双十一，像消毒机品类的59秒、筋膜枪品类的菠萝君、纸尿裤品类的碧芭宝贝，这些入驻天猫不足三年的新消费品牌，在双十一一天就跑出了357个品类第一。\n但回过头来，网易严选还在玩以前那一套，顶多换了噱头——把大牌同款换成了“CEO推荐”或者“网易员工精选好物”，而这些显然很难与用户产生紧密连接。\n也正因此，近年来网易严选主推过的“小时光白酒”、“蘑立快熟锅”等产品，事实上都并没有成为那一时期的爆款。\n正如新消费研究所此前写到，“网易严选们，虽然依靠大平台树下好乘凉，但依然被一群新人给群KO了，毕竟新的消费环境，已经不再需要那么多线上版的名创优品……更理性和多元化的消费诉求下，想让年轻人们为过度包装的品质概念买单，或许已经没那么容易了。”\n尽管网易严选App在6月9日新增“选巷”社区，主打“一起分享不同，发现更多生活选项”，引导用户在App分享自己的生活动态，试图重新加强与年轻人的连接，但也多少显得珊珊来迟了。\n搞低价和返现，想学拼多多却又“玩不起”？\n讲原创的故事行不太通，网易严选倒也没放弃，蹒跚着继续自救，比如学着拼多多的套路玩下沉。\n先是推出了新人首单全额返的活动，最初的形式为“返红包”，如今的形式是“返余额”，简而言之就是返给用户的金额还得在网易严选使用。\n这一活动的确曾为网易严选吸引了不少的新用户，然而留存率却并不一定高。毕竟，打开知乎、微博等社交平台，能看见不少对网易严选“玩不起”的吐槽。\n在“网易严选新人首单全额返是坑吗？”的提问下，其中一高赞回答如是说，“花78元买了一桶食用油后（平台）返了2张39的券，但是必须要满56才能使用并且部分商品不在使用范围内，想着56-39=17也挺合适的，那就去看看买点啥呗，结果发现所有商品需要满99才能包邮，那么加上邮费这两张券变相地只能有29的优惠了。当然，你想全额享受优惠也可以，凑够99就可以了，这样无形之中又会多消费。这个油好不好我不知道，反正当下就退了，反手去某宝买了一个耳熟能详的牌子。”\n这样的案例还有很多。许多消费者看中“返现”二字下了单，收到优惠券后却发现“想用可以，门槛多多”，而最后也优惠不了太多。而眼下的“返余额”活动，也是“新瓶装旧酒”，按照平台的规则，“返回账户的余额不支持体提现，下单时可以自动抵扣，最高只能抵扣订单金额的30%。”一边是刷屏的优惠券，一边是套路\n曾购买了网易严选pro年费会员的张茹更是觉得“严选的优惠套路太多”。张茹称，“本来觉得会员可以经常领券挺划算，结果发现使用优惠券常常无法付款。”\n这一点也在知乎等社交平台上得以验证，有用户表示，“刚领了满21减20的全场优惠券，兴冲冲凑了30块钱发现不能付款，但同样的东西不使用优惠券的话，直接秒入支付宝付款界面，典型玩不起。”\n而另一边，网易严选的“福利粉丝群”里则是每日刷屏的优惠券信息，不难看出严选想靠低价优惠策略，以及社群营销来争夺市场的心。但是，无论是低价策略还是社群营销，网易严选都来得太晚，做得也不够真诚。\n“毕竟低价就不符合严选此前对自己的定位和品牌调性，更何况拼多多已经把优惠券、返现这些玩法玩得深入人心。而做社群也并不是天天发点优惠券就能增加用户粘性的，严选显然来得太晚，又不够认真。”有业内人士指出，“网易严选现在更像是病急乱投医”。\n事实上，在更早之前，网易严选就曾推出9.9超值专区。在专区内，严选挑选了180款爆款产品重新定价，为消费者提供极致性价比。而这一举动当时引起网易老用户们的强烈反弹——严选一直以来都定位于中高端，在消费者眼中，9.9元特价商品似乎拉低了平台调性。\n而网易严选似乎并未长记性，并在背离定位这条路上越走越远。\n越折腾越难自救\n“今天大部分消费者仍然会追求性价比，但在性价比差不多的情况下，越来越多的人会选择符合自己理念的品牌，而且这些品牌需要在很长时间内坚持传达着他们的理念，让消费者认为他们这些理念是真实的，而不是为了盈利而产生的。”市场研究咨询公司英敏特的研究副总监马子淳曾在接受界面采访时指出这一点。\n然而，尽管网易严选还在“折腾”，但其踩下的脚印已经越来越乱。对于用户而言，不断变化的品牌理念，已经让它的形则变得越来越模糊。\n一方面，越往下沉，其与初始用户“新中产”们的距离则越远；另一方面，越强调其原创品牌，Z世代们就越不愿意为它的溢价买单。\n尤其是据媒体报道，在社会零售品总额下降的今年，消费观念越来越两极化，一边的消费者是斥巨资买大牌，为品牌附加值支付溢价，因此，奢侈品大牌今年的涨价程度依然愈发凶猛；另一边是彻底追求低价，淘宝、拼多多甚至是 1688 批发货受到众多关注。\n在这样的大背景之下，网易严选陷入困境已久——并非没有市场，而是已经没有属于“严选”的市场。在越来越丰富的消费市场上，愿意选择“高不成低不就”的严选的用户，越来越少。\n于是，泥潭之中的网易严选越折腾，越难自救。","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"NTES":0.9,"09999":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1179,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
