Epidemic Situation

Since 2022, the new crown pneumonia epidemic continues to spread throughout the country. This round of epidemic is characterized by many points, wide coverage and frequent occurrence. The national epidemic prevention and control is in an arduous, complex and repeated situation. In order to cope with the complex and severe epidemic situation, many places were forced to press the "pause button" to implement the whole area static management, and various economic activities were affected to a certain extent. The retail chain industry was the first to bear the brunt, facing multiple pressures such as suspending operation and ensuring supply.

Due to the prolonged period of epidemic prevention and control, it has a great impact on the industrial chain and supply chain, especially on offline retail. Brand merchants have encountered unprecedented difficulties in operation, and the situation is more severe. Taking the clothing industry as an example, the superposed inventory pressure has increased, the over season products have fallen in price and devalued, which has caused great losses to the enterprises. In addition, they need to continue to bear the relevant costs such as rent and labor, so the major brands are generally facing great business pressure. There will be a shortage of summer and autumn clothing and even the impression of production.

In this context, in addition to actively self-help, brands are also seeking external support and assistance.

Recently, 50 clothing business enterprises jointly launched a proposal to express the relevant demands on the plight of rent. Specifically:

1. If the store is closed during the epidemic period, the rent during the closing period will be reduced or reduced;

2. If the store is not closed during the epidemic period, but the area is classified as medium and high risk area, the rent will be reduced, the rent will be postponed through negotiation, and the rent will be changed from season to month;

3. Reduce the annual minimum guarantee of corresponding epidemic situation, or reduce deduction, etc.

Among the list of proposals, in addition to an institutional unit of Shanghai garment industry association, 47 are apparel retail brands headquartered in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, and two are from Xiamen. It includes famous chain brands such as Samma, balabalabala, taipingniao, Jinba, Bense, Rococo, lily, zhuoshini, hanger, sangun, me +, the green party, Sanfu, etc.

Under the epidemic situation, the flow of customers in shopping malls has been cut off, and the financial flow has undoubtedly been cut off. As a result, large and small brand tenants in the shopping malls have also been directly impacted.

Not long ago, lianshang.com conducted a sampling survey on the first quarter operation of chain brand merchants, including clothing, catering, beauty, fashion, etc

1. Compared with the first round of the epidemic in 2020, 89% of the enterprises interviewed said that the situation was more difficult this year.

2. From the change of sales from January to March this year compared with that of 2021, 74% of the enterprises whose sales decreased by more than 10% in the first quarter, and 47% of the enterprises whose sales dropped by more than 30%, nearly half of the total sample.

If only 26% of the enterprises can keep up with the current situation in the last three months, they can not get the support of the current situation.

At present, the major brand merchants are facing three pressures in terms of operation: first, the passenger flow of the stores in operation is declining, and the sales are declining; Second, due to the outbreak of large-scale closure of stores, resulting in loss of revenue; The third is to continue to bear the operating costs of rent, human resources and commodity losses.

In addition to self-help, brand merchants have placed a lot of expectations on the industry's support and rescue policy. It includes rent relief, loan interest rate reduction, tax incentives, social security and other labor costs, preferential support for water and electricity, and subsidies for epidemic prevention costs. Among them, leasing has become the most urgent point for brand merchants to be bailed out. Nearly 95% of the enterprises interviewed expressed their demands for rent reduction and exemption, including rent reduction and rent exemption, deduction and minimum guarantee, adjustment of delivery date and rent free period. Secondly, issuing consumption vouchers (58%), expecting relevant departments to reduce taxes (47%), and reducing labor costs such as social security (42%) are among the urgent demands of the enterprises interviewed.

In fact, in view of the serious decline in the rental capacity of brand merchants and the strong demand for rent relief, some measures have been taken by the existing shopping centers, but it is obviously not so easy to reduce the rent in an all-round way. At the same time, it is also difficult for large-scale enterprises to maintain a high rent reduction and rent recovery rate, and it is also difficult for large-scale enterprises to maintain a high rent reduction and rent recovery rate.

Under the epidemic situation, no one can be alone. In a special period, how to overcome difficulties together is the key point. This is not an individual obligation or responsibility of an enterprise, but a common topic of the whole industry. It needs scientific and effective discussion from various parties and forms a feasible implementation plan to achieve the goal of helping each other in the same boat and tide over difficulties together. The government should do a good job in supporting the corresponding policies, and strive to create a stable and secure business environment for the real business.

Of course, the fundamental to ease the capital pressure of enterprises and solve their anxiety and difficulties lies in the restoration of normal operation and sales as soon as possible, promote the recovery of passenger flow and sales, and, under the conditions of epidemic prevention, try to speed up the recovery of enterprise operation and consumption confidence, and make the market operate normally.

We are looking forward to the early spread of the epidemic.
