If Double 11 is a festival for e-commerce companies, then 618 is another festival for e-commerce companies.
Have you been bombarded by advertisements from e-commerce companies these days? Anyway, TOP has clearly felt it. Fortunately, advertising is TOP’s main business, so from this round of e-commerce advertising bombing war, TOP has some feelings: that is, this time, although e-commerce companies are all focusing on 618 They are making a fuss, but what are their real thoughts? Below, Mr. TOP becomes a mind-reading master and takes stock of the real thoughts of e-commerce merchants:
When it comes to 618, we have to talk about JD.com, because 618 is an e-commerce carnival created by JD.com. On June 18, 1998, Liu Qiangdong started his business in Zhongguancun and established the predecessor company of JD.com. Therefore, June 18th every year is JD.com’s store celebration day, and June has become JD.com’s store celebration month. During this period, JD.com will launch a series of Large-scale promotional activities, of which June 18 is the day with the strongest promotions on JD.com.
In recent years, as the influence of JD.com has increased year by year, JD.com 618 has become more and more recognized in people's minds. When other e-commerce companies look at it, they can't just sell it to you, but I also have to sell it. As a result, more and more e-commerce companies have joined the 618 promotion. This is actually playing into JD.com’s hands. JD.com is just having fun and changed its previous simple and direct big promotion advertisements into "" themed advertisements. Why is it called ""? It has two meanings: one is a shopping party for consumers, and the other is a promotional party for e-commerce merchants.
This year coincides with JD.com’s 12th anniversary, so JD.com also put extra effort into this 618 event. As for the theme, two sets of themes were used successively, one is the "original intention remains unchanged" for the 12th anniversary, and the other is the previous traditional "", and each theme also has different versions of advertisements; in terms of media channels, it is a comprehensive attack, outdoor , TV, and the Internet are all included, and the ads in WeChat Moments alone have been on it more than once, okay?
After doing so much, what JD wants to say most is: Let’s do it together!
Originally, there was only one carnival program in the e-commerce world, and that was Double 11. But seeing that the momentum of JD.com’s 618 event is growing year by year, why isn’t Tmall anxious? So, we saw a scene like this: In addition to Double 11, Tmall, which rarely advertises in hard advertising, has recently seen advertisements flying all over the sky. In the subway, on Focus screens, on portals, etc., TOP users have all seen Tmall’s advertisements. , and it is said that this round of Tmall advertisements was created by Greyhound. Multiple media are integrated and launched, and the advertising creative team is also a big name. Tmall, you really value 618.
But if you take a closer look, you will find Tmall’s little thoughts. Although it attaches great importance to 618, in terms of advertising presentation, Tmall tries its best to avoid the word "618" and replaces it with "mid-year sale". I don’t want to ignore JD.com and watch 618 become the next Double 11, but I also don’t want to follow JD.com too much and be fooled. This may be Tmall’s truest feeling.
Therefore, at this time, what Tmall is thinking must be: I will not take the bait, I will call it "Mid-year Sale", haha
In the past two years, apart from Tmall and JD.com, who else has made the most efforts in the e-commerce field? That should be considered Suning.com, right? ! Yes, Suning, which is making full efforts to transform, has confirmed that it has made significant progress in the e-commerce field in the past two years. Therefore, it has also been more "offensive" in terms of marketing. Some time ago, TOP guys clicked on Suning.com’s TV commercial featuring “Website Lifestyle Supermarket”. Isn’t this obvious about the positioning of PK No. 1 store? But in terms of the spread of 618 this year, Suning.com is also full of "offensiveness".
First of all, Suning.com invited its own spokesperson Deng Chao to customize advertisements for 618. In the advertisement, Deng Chao brings together a physics teacher, a biology teacher, a chemistry teacher, a psychology teacher, and a math teacher to tell a question about the best place to go shopping in June in his funny way. There is also an Easter egg at the end—— Avoiding parties, I stepped on JD.com intentionally or unintentionally.
Secondly, Suning.com also used joint sea, land and air bombing to place this 618 advertisement. In the subway, TOP Jun is attracted by Deng Chao's exaggerated expressions from time to time; after entering the elevator, TOP Jun will be Deng Chao's student from time to time, listening to his super nonsensical problem-solving ideas; at the same time, on June 17 , when you search for "Suning.com" on Baidu, you will also see floating screen ads. This is a rarely used form of advertising, and there is also an obvious "618" on the picture of Suning.com's website; enter the official website 618 can be seen everywhere; it seems that "618" has become the representative of Suning.com.
At this time, what Suning.com must want to say is: You all go away, 618 is mine!
In addition to JD.com, Tmall and Suning.com mentioned above, which other e-commerce companies are interested in 618? Baidu will tell you immediately. If you enter "618", you will find that there are also relevant promotion links for No. 1 Store, Vipshop, Jumei and Intime. For these brands, they know that their budgets are not as large as those of JD.com, Tmall and Suning.com, but they still do promotion. Why? It's because they still want to take advantage of the momentum of 618. Maybe in 618, their sales can't be top-notch, but it's easy to do better than usual.
Therefore, what people from No.1 Store, Vipshop, Jumei and Intime want to say most this time must be:!
