According to reports, BDO Runda and NVC Lighting currently have their own e-commerce platforms on Tmall, etc., and have an integrated system of "production, supply and marketing".

Combined, this will be more conducive to the healthy development of the company.

How LED big coffee thinks about O2O

Xue Xin, General Manager of Foshan Electric Lighting Marketing: Lighting companies should not blindly transform to O2O for three reasons: First, there are few brands in the lighting industry, and the only few are industry brands. There are not many public brands that can really be recognized by consumers, and It is very vague, and it is difficult to use a single brand to attract consumers to offline stores. It is very likely that they will buy another product after going there. Second, the current lighting sales channel is mainly the lighting city model, and there are not enough brand stores. A certain consumer wants to buy lighting products, and finds that there are many choices in this market, and there is no need to buy in one store at all. In addition, do I need to go to an experience store to experience buying a light bulb? Third, after attracting consumers to the store through the O2O model, the product line of the specialty store is relatively narrow, which cannot satisfy consumers' one-stop shopping. It is convenient to buy all at one station. Therefore, Xue Xin suggested that instead of blindly transforming into O2O, enterprises should try more online sales. Because if the O2O model with high hopes fails to bring actual performance growth, the crisis effect it triggers will further expand with the spread of the Internet.

Huang Yuanpu, founder of Yiou.com, a professional O2O research institution: Lighting for individual consumers is a "double-low" product with low unit price and low purchase frequency, which really cannot reflect the unique advantages of O2O. However, he believes that this situation is mainly due to the fact that O2O has not yet affected the lighting industry. Industries such as furniture, electrical appliances, and jewelry have already completed e-commerce. There will be changes, such as the smart lighting that has appeared so far, which is very suitable for the O2O model. At the same time, O2O is not just as simple as drainage. When O2O based on big data plays a role in guiding the production side from the sales side, the role of O2O will become more apparent.

Xu Zhenfeng, General Manager of the Lighting Division of Nationstar Optoelectronics: At present, lighting e-commerce is still in the stage of exploration and promotion, and the commonly used e-commerce models are not perfect. There are still many misunderstandings. The greater value of enterprises through e-commerce lies in "brand promotion" rather than "performance improvement". Therefore, enterprises should decide whether to enter e-commerce based on their own product characteristics and development status.

Hao Xilong, General Manager of Huayi Lighting Domestic Marketing Center: The development of e-commerce is gradually becoming mature, but until now, there are still some difficult problems in e-commerce, such as insufficient product experience and high inventory pressure of manufacturers.

He Fuping, general manager of Hongchuang Optoelectronics: Compared with clothing, home appliances, mobile phones and other industries, the development of e-commerce in the lighting industry has certain limitations: lighting products are not ordinary consumer goods, and users' purchase decisions are affected by factors such as designers and electricians. It is also determined by the progress of the decoration. In addition, the professionalism of the after-sales installation service is relatively strong.

Chen Jincheng, General Manager of Yingdu Lighting Operation Center: At present, the development of e-commerce is still relatively chaotic. The biggest bargaining chip for online sales is "low price", and the disadvantage is that it cannot satisfy consumers' sense of experience.

Wang Donglei, Chairman of NVC Lighting and BDO Runda : For the lighting industry, now is the worst and the best of times. The lighting industry is an extremely fragmented industry. We hope to rebuild a vertical e-commerce through the O2O platform, from 4% of the original industry share to 30%. According to the development of the overall industry and the needs of management, an enterprise continuously remodels its value. This is a reform or transformation, and it is an inevitable and continuous process.
