The darling of the new retail era, vending machines are ready to go

'Standing in the wind, pigs can fly' is definitely not groundless. Meituan's acquisition of Mobike and founder Hu Weiwei's cash out of 1.5 billion is a good example. For the retail industry, everyone will pay attention to Jack Ma’s exaggeration at the Yunqi Conference: 'The era of pure e-commerce will soon end. In the next ten or twenty years, there will only be new retail.' So where is the new retail outlet? ? At present, the domestic new retail industry has developed two main models: unmanned supermarkets and vending machines. As far as unmanned supermarkets are concerned, the level of technology and post-maintenance is still far from reaching the standard. There are only scattered pilots in large cities, which cannot achieve the level of large-scale promotion and popularization. Vending machines are different from unmanned supermarkets. After decades of technological innovation and operating experience, they have been gradually improved. They can be seen everywhere in stations, hospitals, subway entrances and other crowded areas. According to statistics, there are currently at least 16 million vending machines in normal operation in the world. Among them, the popularity of Japan is high, and the increase in rent and labor costs has promoted the development of the industry. Up to now, there are about 5 million vending machines. The share of vending machines in my country is only about 200,000 units. In the early stage, they were mainly distributed in developed coastal areas such as the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta. With the acceleration of urbanization, people's consumer demand has increased, and more emphasis has been placed on flexibility and convenience. Popularize inland areas. At this stage, the country is also in the stage of rising store rents and labor costs. Compared with my country's huge population base, there is huge room for future development. At present, a large amount of capital is also targeting this project. Since 2010, the number of vending machines has increased by nearly 20%. Times. Compared with traditional convenience store retail, vending machines have obvious advantages: 1. Low investment threshold, which is also the main reason for attracting many investors. The unit price of vending machines is low, and one machine can complete additional income. For Guangdong vending machine products, many prices are around 10,000, which is very suitable for small investment or large-scale entrepreneurship; secondly, it takes up little space. The point selection is relatively flexible and easy to operate. You can choose crowded areas, and the rent is greatly reduced compared with the cost of the store. 2. Cost of manpower and time. Traditional convenience stores need to take up a lot of labor costs, while vending machines are a man-machine dialogue sales model. In terms of manpower, it is only reflected in the replenishment process. It can also be open 24 hours a day, all year round, and long operating hours. What is more profit. 3. Perfect after-sales service. Guangdong Smart Technology products are produced in strict accordance with the standardization of the quality management system, and the products are delivered to customers through strict quality inspection. Establish information database and product database for customers, implement telephone return visits, door-to-door service and other methods to help customers solve product problems in the shortest time, ensuring no worries. 4. Product diversity. Speaking of vending machines preconceivedly, one would think of machines that sell beverages. In fact, it is already in the past. With the increase in demand and the improvement of technology, the types of vending machines are gradually increasing. Guangdong Smart Technology's product types include not only beverage machines, but also food, department stores, adults, hotel wall hangings, cigarette machines, powder suction machines, etc. Products can be customized according to customer needs. Vending machines have now become the darling of the new retail era. Self-service vending, as a brand new retail model, is gradually changing the traditional retail method, gearing up and getting ready to become the next market outlet!
