Revealing New Trends and Boosting Industry Development
In 2024, the global beauty and fashion industry is facing even more significant challenges. Root causes include escalating consumer demands, dwindling traffic dividends, rising operational costs, and severe product homogenization, all of which pose new obstacles to growth for beauty and fashion enterprises.
As a global beauty and fashion consumer products industry service platform with over 20 years of expertise, covering over 1 million practitioners in the industry, YMS promptly identified these challenges and organized the “14th YMS CONSUMER PRODUCTS & CHANNEL EXPO.” This expo served as a powerful catalyst, providing inspiration and direction for practitioners navigating new waters and propelling the beauty and fashion industry into a new era of development.
Notably, this was the inaugural event under the new name “YMS CONSUMER PRODUCTS & CHANNEL EXPO” and YMS’s maiden entry into the Hangzhou Grand Convention and Exhibition Center. According to the organizer, the three-day expo attracted 37,206 professional visitors, a testament to its popularity.
Concurrently, six thematic summits were held, including the “New Traffic & New Channels” Global Beauty and Fashion Summit, the Second The Little Red Book KOL Marketing Conference, the Second Channel Live Streaming E-commerce Conference, the Second China Good Product Conference, the First Offline Retail Growth Conference, and the Second Cross-border E-commerce Conference. Over 200 founders and executives of leading companies in the beauty and fashion consumer products industry attended the event, where industry players from supply chains, branding, channels, influencers/MCN agencies, and service providers gathered in this precisely targeted social sphere. From different business perspectives, they spared no effort in sharing their business philosophies and insights into trends, jointly empowering practitioners in the beauty and fashion industry to explore new traffic sources, open up new channels, and achieve new breakthroughs. In the golden age of digital marketing, facing the incremental market built by the Internet, the battle for traffic has already begun.
YMS believes that the industry should return to the consumer frontline. As stated by YMS CEO Qian Qiu, “When we revert to ‘the First Principle Thinking’ and focus on consumers, we can accomplish much.” For instance, optimizing product offerings, live streaming scripts, promotional strategies, studio decorations, and traffic-driving materials in live streaming; refining content materials, images, copywriting, and public-private domain integration in shelf e-commerce; and deepening product development, influencer recommending, and content operations to build brand competitiveness.
Furthermore, multiple events like the Global Influencer Selection, Domestic E-commerce Platform Special Matchmaking Session, Cross-border E-commerce Platform Special Matchmaking Session, and Influencer Investment Matchmaking Session successfully concluded, resulting in over 10,000 cooperation intentions.
