The new retail model was a form of the retail industry in the development of the Internet era. Its essence was still to continuously improve the cost, efficiency, and experience of customers. It was a more efficient retail model that continuously integrated "information flow","capital flow", and "logistics". For example, in the field of new car retail, take the S2b2c model as an example. In this model, the big S of the integrated front-end supply chain could enable small b (car dealers) to better serve users c (consumers). After many years of development, the Internet and e-commerce of cars finally carried services offline because cars had their own specialties. For example, after consumers saw car advertisements, they were still willing to go offline to experience and test drive; cars were a large amount of asset expenditure, and online shopping alone could not satisfy the satisfaction of car purchase; The car purchase process was long, involving test drive, finance, insurance, license plate, etc., which required offline support. This reflected the characteristics of the new retail model, which was the integration of the online and offline. It not only took advantage of the online information flow to efficiently transmit information, but also took advantage of the offline experience.

The six new retail models were as follows: 1. Unmanned retail: Its typical feature is to reduce the dependence of retail on people through automatic service or independent settlement, and to a certain extent, reduce the time cost of consumers to improve the shopping experience. At present, unmanned retail was not completely unmanned. Instead, it was optimized in terms of rent and labor costs. This was an exploration of reducing costs and improving efficiency in the retail industry. 2. Consumption upgrading and downgrading: With economic development and wealth accumulation, consumption upgrading has become an important trend. The improvement of consumption structure and level will promote the improvement of consumption level, concept, and cognitive ability. The new retail format satisfied the quality assurance needs of consumers after eliminating the brand premium. The consumers had higher requirements for reasonable prices. When the disposable income was fixed, the consumption upgrade would be accompanied by the consumption decline. 3. Channel sinking: benefiting from the return of the population and the increase in consumption levels, the consumption power and market size of third-tier, fourth-tier and fifth-tier cities have risen rapidly. For example, Alibaba.com and Jingdong have successively set up non-first-tier and second-tier cities, while Tmall.com is targeting second-tier to sixth-tier cities and sinking into the western county-level market. In the next five years, Jingdong will open more than one million convenience stores nationwide, half of which will be located in rural areas. The two will take the lead in sinking channels to seize the retail enterprises in third-tier, fourth-tier and fifth-tier cities. The wide distribution and many outlets will help the retail companies re-evaluate the value of channels and entrances. 4. Smart supply chain and zero inventory: The traditional retail supply chain is limited to purchasing, production, logistics and other links, and there is insufficient coordination with consumers and sales channels. The new retail era relied on big data and information systems. The intelligent supply chain integrated the elements of comprehensive customer perception, intelligent command and coordination, precise customer service, all-round functional coordination, key guarantees, etc., so that all systems could work together under the guidance of information, condense service energy, and release service capabilities in an orderly manner. Finally, the service was accurate, and the supply chain was transparent, flexible, and agile. 5. Omni-channel integration of online and offline: The theme of the new retail was "the combination of online and offline and logistics". Therefore, the integration of online and offline and the omni-channel rule became the innovation consensus of enterprises in the context of the new retail. Online e-commerce embraced the offline market, and traditional offline companies tried to seize new retail opportunities to increase market share. 6. Artificial intelligence and big data: New retail is driven by the technological revolution. For example, unmanned retail stores used artificial intelligence technologies such as computer vision, fusion sensor systems, biometric-based identification, and deep learning. They also used a large number of sensors in the store to monitor in real time. Through the Internet of Things, people, objects, and scenery were connected to each other, bringing a shopping experience without queuing up to check out. Its core was to promote the integration process of online and offline, so that the power of the online Internet and the offline physical store terminal formed a joint force to complete the optimization and upgrading of the e-commerce platform and physical retail stores at the commercial level.

New retail has the following typical models: 1. ** Online and offline integration (OMO) mode ** - This was one of the core models of new retail. For example, Hema Xiansheng, which combined offline stores with online platforms. The offline store was both a place to display and sell goods, and also a place to store goods. Customers could purchase goods directly in the store. At the same time, they could also place orders through the online platform and enjoy the fast delivery service within 3 - 5 kilometers of the offline store. A large number of smart devices were set up in the store, such as electronic price tags, self-service cash register devices, etc., which optimized the display and inventory management of goods through big data analysis, so as to realize the same price and inventory sharing of the same products online and offline. 2. ** Cloud Warehouse Mode ** - The cloud warehouse model was an upgraded version of the traditional agent model. Under this model, the agent did not need to stock up. All the goods were stored with the brand or by a third-party cloud warehouse service. The brand or third-party cloud warehouse service company was responsible for the follow-up warehouse logistics. The agent only needed to operate the purchase and delivery in the cloud warehouse system, and the data was clear at a glance. This reduced the logistics costs of the agent and solved the problems of expired products. The brand could also negotiate with the courier to reduce costs by using the storage and transportation of large quantities of goods. 3. ** Private Domain Data Operation Mode ** - Build and maintain your own private domain traffic pool, and increase user stickiness and repeat purchase rate through precise marketing and customized services. For example, some brands gathered consumers in their private domain by establishing their own Weixin Official Accounts, Mini programs, membership system, etc. By analyzing the behavior data of consumers in the private domain, it could accurately recommend products and push marketing activities, and provide customized services such as exclusive discounts and customized products to increase consumer loyalty and frequency of consumption. 4. ** Platform business model ** - He wanted to build the brand into a win-win platform, attract more partners and consumers to participate, and realize the optimal allocation and sharing of resources. For example, the new retail platforms built by some e-commerce giants not only attracted traditional merchants, but also attracted various service companies such as logistics and finance. The platform provided unified technical support, traffic portals, and other resources. Merchants and service companies worked together on the platform to meet the diverse needs of consumers. 5. ** Boundless retail mode ** - It was proposed by Jingdong to break the boundaries of traditional retail and realize the connection of goods, inventory, membership and other data. For example, the shopping experience of consumers in different channels (online platforms, offline stores, mobile devices, etc.) was seamlessly connected. Under the Boundless Retailing model, both online and offline retail scenarios could share inventory, membership rights, etc., and consumers could freely switch between different shopping scenarios without being affected by channel restrictions.
