SHANGHAI, Jan. 9, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- JD.com's omnichannel retail services JDDJ and
JD Shop Now kicked off the JD Intra-city Chinese New Year (CNY)
Grand Promotion on December
26th, 2022. Teaming up with retailers and brand
owners, the platforms will provide uninterrupted on-demand shopping
services to consumers across the country during Chinese New Year
2023, powered by the company's Dada Now delivery network.
Simultaneously, more than 10,000 local all-category stores under
the company's intra-city businesses, which include JD Shop Now, JD
Lifestyle, JD Auto Service, JD Flower and JD Health, will join
"Super Beijing," a marketing campaign promoting "one cent for your order" in the capital city.
"No Close" at Holiday
The JDDJ and Shop Now platforms are able to offer on-demand
services during the busy holiday period thanks to their cooperation
with more than 200,000 offline physical stores, well-known chain
retailers and brand owners. By integrating online and offline
omni-channel resources, the two platforms are able to help
consumers "place orders online, and deliver within one-hour" in
more than 1,800 cities and counties.
These uninterrupted on-demand services are made possible by Dada
Now's upgraded on-demand picking and delivery services network,
which will also continue operations during the holiday. Dada Now
has rolled out measures such as recruiting new delivery people,
offering holiday subsidies, scheduling riders and offering personal
care benefits to expand its delivery force. It has prepared tens of
thousands of supplies for delivery staff, such as knee pads,
thermos cups, gloves, masks and disinfectants, and established an
emergency response mechanism to guarantee holiday delivery.
CNY Consumption Trends
According to JD Shop Now's data, Laba holiday, which marks the
beginning of the Chinese New Year period, sparked a first
consumption peak, featuring the sales growth of traditional food,
gift boxes, and fashion products.
JD Shop Now's data shows that the sales of dumplings and wontons
increased by 89% compared with the sales before CNY. Pre-made food
and meal kits have also been popular with consumers during this
time; and cherries and strawberries have become the most popular
fruits during CNY.
During CNY, the sales of gift boxes such as baked goods, Baijiu
(Chinese liquor) and cake, increased by 10 times respectively. In
addition, the sales of fruit gift boxes were 85% higher than the
sales before the holiday.
Smart home appliances, fashion products and personal care have
been recognized as the new "special purchases for the Spring
Festival." The sales of smart bracelets, plush toys and makeup
products increased by 122%, 150% and 500% respectively, compared
with the previous month.
JD Shop Now's data also shows that online orders placed for
delivery to another city increased by 118%, with Shenzhen, Beijing, Guangzhou, Shanghai and Chengdu ranking the Top 5 cities placing
orders. These items are likely gifts arranged for delivery to
family members and loved ones in other cities.
Additionally, people who live in different cities have their own
CNY consumption preferences. The sales growth rates of flowers and
cleaning products are prominent in Beijing, where the residents embrace the new
year with a brand new and clean environment. The vegetables, eggs,
ready-to-eat food and fruits consumed by Shanghainese have doubled
this year; while in Guangzhou and
Shenzhen, the sales of books and
videos are listed on top.
About cooperation between Dada Group and JD.com
In October 2021, Dada Group and
JD.com jointly launched the Shop Now service, and "Nearby", a new
tab on the homepage of JD.com's app, which were designed to connect
customers to nearby offline stores. The new business was overall
undertaken by Dada Group. Shop Now service enhances on-demand
location-based retail capabilities of both Dada and JD to provide
one-hour retail and delivery services for consumers and partners.
By clicking into the new Nearby tab, JD's roughly 588 million users
will have the opportunity to discover offline stores within a 3-5
kilometer radius of their shipping address with a wide array of
product offerings.
