With the development of society and the change of people's consumption concepts, the rise of the male consumer market has gradually attracted people's attention. Correspondingly, a new concept of "other economy" has also emerged. So, what does he mean by economy?
First of all, in order to understand the "other economy", we must first understand the social background behind it. In the traditional concept, men's consumption needs are often simply attributed to basic needs such as daily necessities and clothing, and with the awakening of men's self-consciousness and the transformation of consumption concepts, more and more men have begun to pursue more of their own consumption needs and concerns, and gradually become an important force in the consumer market.
It is against this background that the "He Economy" was born. The "other economy" is also known as the male economy, which corresponds to the "she economy". To put it simply, "other economy" refers to the economic phenomenon and business model that arises in response to the demand for male consumption. This concept covers men's consumption needs in various fields, including but not limited to clothing, beauty salons, fitness and health care, leisure and entertainment, tourism, electronic products and other aspects, and "invades" some traditional women's consumption "territory" such as beauty and skin care, medical beauty, etc.
The rise of men's consumer demand is not accidental, but has its deep-seated social causes. With the progress of society and the renewal of gender concepts, the status of men in the family and society has gradually improved, and they have higher requirements for their own image and quality of life, and are willing to pay more time and money for this. At the same time, the acceleration of the pace of modern life has also made men pay more attention to the comfort and convenience of life, and with the development of the Internet, male consumers have more convenient access to information and consumption, thus promoting the rapid development of "other economy". In addition, the proportion of single men has increased, and their family burden is relatively light, and their personal spending power has been released.
So, what are the characteristics of the "other economy"? First of all, it has a diverse consumer demand. Male consumers are no longer satisfied with basic daily necessities, but are looking for higher-quality, more functional goods and services. Secondly, it has a personalized consumption trend. Male consumers are more focused on personalized and customized services, and they are not satisfied with the same products, but want their consumption to reflect their unique taste and personality. Finally, it has specialized consumption requirements. Male consumers have higher requirements for the quality and professionalism of products and services, and they pay more attention to the quality and performance of products, rather than just focusing on appearance and performance.
Under the influence of the "other economy", many industries have begun to innovate and improve in response to the needs of male consumers. For example, the men's grooming market is gaining momentum, not only are more and more men beginning to pay attention to their own care and image building, but beauty institutions have also begun to launch services and products for men. In addition, the fitness industry and the electronics market have also segmented and innovated for the needs of male consumers to meet the needs of male consumers at different levels and needs.
Of course, the development of the "other economy" also faces some challenges and problems. On the one hand, due to the diversified and personalized needs of male consumers, enterprises need to constantly innovate and improve to meet the rapid changes in the market; On the other hand, due to the high requirements of male consumers for quality and professionalism, enterprises need to continuously improve the quality and performance of products to win the trust and reputation of consumers.
To sum up, the "other economy" refers to the economic phenomenon and business model that arises in response to the consumption needs of men. With the rise of men's consumer demand and the change of social concepts, "other economy" has become a force to be reckoned with and will become one of the important trends of future economic development. For enterprises and businesses, grasping the development opportunities of the "other economy", constantly innovating, improving and promoting products and services that meet the tastes and needs of male consumers will help open up a broader market and obtain more business opportunities, which will be the key to winning the market competition. For example, pay attention to market segments in marketing, find out new consumption support points, lay out as soon as possible, establish brand impressions, and win the male consumption track. For male consumers, paying attention to their own needs and tastes and rational consumption will be an important prerequisite for enjoying the convenience and fun brought by the "other economy".
