Some people say that the only business downturn, there is no downturn in the industry. In the global economy against the backdrop of the crisis, many Chinese furniture exporters in the domestic market has been swept by a "export to domestic sales," the wave. Recently, reporters from Hong Kong International furniture, Stone Forest, such as home shopping plaza that the market has a lot of Nanjing "export to domestic sales," the furniture.
Export enterprises are the Achilles heel of
A long time, many furniture companies in China concentrate on exports, because the large amount of export orders is simple, compared with domestic sales is much easier, and the need to brand management, product development, such as too much money invested, it can be higher profits. However, Nanjing furniture Industry Association, said the Secretary-General Xu Lin, export furniture industry there is a fatal weakness. "They open up to international markets, over-reliance on the buyer, does not have its own sales network and brand. Even products are also buyers of intellectual property rights, and its fate has been totally manipulated buyers among enterprises mainly rely on low-cost for customers . "Over the years, China's furniture industry exports have been a good market returns, long-term good business so that they also ignored the" basic "in practice," product positioning, market positioning, branding is much less the ability to say the least, even the establishment of image terminals do not have the ability to shop. "

Hong Kong International furniture relevant for persons in charge of its marketing activities in the Dragon Boat Festival, said, "this event is to highlight a number of export enterprises to participate in the domestic market." Shilin Household furniture Plaza Merchants soldiers Manager James Li said that this year 51, they first at the introduction of a furniture export to the domestic brands, the brand management is currently in good condition.

"In the past, 100% export enterprises should change both inside and outside, in fact, 100 percent of the domestic enterprises, some change, it is necessary to expand into the international market timid."
Exports is not necessarily a good everything

Exporting furniture in general is the form of a single supply, and most of the domestic market brands are The suite is based on the sale of furniture, they can not simply disregard and sales to production lot. "
