As the March 8th Festival approaches, major shopping malls in Changsha have put out promotional slogans, and "buy, buy, buy" to reward yourself is naturally an indispensable way to open the festival.

Although March 8 is a Friday, many merchants' promotions started in advance last weekend. The reporter visited the city and found that compared with the promotion period that only had two or three days in previous years, the promotion time of most shopping malls in Changsha this year was extended to one week or 10 days.

During the March 8th Festival, cosmetics, underwear, new spring clothing products, gold jewelry, etc. have been sought after by female customers, especially underwear and cosmetics sales are very popular. Department stores this year are no exception.

Many brands in the mall are doing special sales activities, with discounts ranging from 20% to 30% off. "Because March is a seasonal change day, cosmetics, underwear and other products will be launched at this time of year, and clothing will be sold for clearance and sale to launch new products."

For example, the Guojin Center invited internationally renowned flower artists to create a "dream garden" with flowers and mirrors, which will also bring many fashion shows to citizens and experience the "flower dance Ni Shang" in spring; how many women yearn for the Tang Dynasty where fat is beautiful? Youa Outlets will take the "goddesses" to a journey through the Tang Dynasty, disguise yourself as a Tang Dynasty beauties, or play Cuju archery game to experience the charm of Tang style and Tang Dynasty...

Women

More willing to spend money to buy a good mood

md0 Is it just buying to buy? Many women are more willing to spend money to buy a good mood, and the consumption of " self-pleasing " has quietly risen.

"On March 8th, we are going to go shopping with our sisters. We plan to spend our own money to buy ourselves a gift."

Reporter Notes

Merchants win "she" to win the world

As income continues to grow, women have become the main force of consumption. Clothing, luggage, cosmetics, mother and baby, and snacks are all "her economy". Even 3C digital, home appliances, cars and other categories that clearly have male consumption characteristics, many women will also participate in decision-making. Relevant data show that 75% of the total household consumption in the country is decided by women, and the female group has undoubtedly become the largest cake in the consumer market.

Compared with men, women are more willing to communicate, communicate and express emotions with others. The advent of the social era has made women more willing to express themselves on social networks, and the "show" mentality has gradually transformed it into a driving force for the pursuit of a quality life, stimulating consumption upgrades. This is also the reason why everyone will use "shopping" to describe women.

Women's Day , which is labeled "her economy", seems to have become a festival comparable to Golden Week. For major businesses, Women's Day is not so much a competition of big promotions, but rather a creative PK for each company.

In the era of consumption upgrading, the "her economy" with women as the main body is the backbone of the development of the retail market. Targeting the female group and advocating quality consumption is the key to competing for "her economy" - online and offline businesses have formed a consensus: consumption upgrades still have to please "her".
