Traditional commercial real estate 020 analysis
With the rapid development of Internet technology and e-commerce, the concept of O2O instantly in the industry fire. Shopping centers around the country (read more) have also begun to explore, want to borrow O2O to attract traffic, improve performance, but the idea is good, but really start to do the major problems.
The main purpose of building O2O in physical shopping centers

2, measurement: through the measurement of real-time attention to the changes in the user data;
3, guidance: to guide and accumulate the depth of the high consumer groups;
4, diffusion: offline resources online diffusion.
Traditional commercial real estate O2O development problems
The cost of self-built platforms is not small, Wanda, for example, to build the Wanhui network, each Wanda Plaza's investment of 20 million yuan, which is still because of the large volume of cost dilution after the results. An industry insider pointed out that "high cost" is one of the main reasons why merchants do not move forward, in the view of the traditional business, O2O still tends to conceptual, no one dares to invest too much in this, are still in the trying stage.
Even if you build a platform for direct communication with consumers, how to operate is also a business can not avoid the problem of traditional business operations staff into the field of the Internet is often overwhelmed, which businesses have to spend a lot of money to hire professionals, such as dedicated operation of the public account of the team. But even professional operations teams have to recognize that it takes a while to cultivate an emerging model, and that member activity needs to be continuously improved, and that merchants expect to establish a good interactive relationship with consumers, and that O2O involves not only marketing, but also service.
Shopping centers are interested in the concept of "big data" under O2O, but for non-uniform cash registers in shopping centers, there are still obstacles to the collection of consumer information. Such as offline traffic into the store to generate consumption, leaving the satisfaction of how? If you go to the online shopping center to consume evaluation system, shopping traces and browsing traces, etc., merchants can carry out secondary marketing and recommendation; but offline business, there is no such means, a lot of members or ordinary consumers, do not necessarily have the opportunity to their own consumption needs and consumption records in a timely manner feedback to the offline business.
Summary of the case study of e-commerce O2O and brick-and-mortar shopping centers
O2O is a part of e-commerce, and it is the future direction of e-commerce, and O2O will make an important contribution to data, diversion, and coordination.
Meanwhile, due to the impact of e-commerce on traditional shopping centers, performance growth is slow or even decline, more and more traditional commercial shopping centers began to try O2O transformation, however, the Internet giants are only a preliminary attempt to O2O.
Currently, O2O is still a unified concept, how to combine with specific cases, summarize their own O2O development strategy, to form a differentiated competition with the giants and reduce operating costs is the main development trend of O2O in the future.
