I don't know if you have noticed, although this year is very important to the New Year's goods exhibition, Baoji City has recently opened several places to open a huge New Year's goods exhibition, such as the stadium, high-tech square, international convention and exhibition center, etc.
As far as the Baoji International Convention and Exhibition Center is concerned, the author has been there several times, but what I saw was: quite spacious venue; Very beautiful environment (the door is quite festive, it is reported that the number of red lanterns alone reaches more than 10,000, and some sources say that it is 20,000); Very lively events (with a large gong and drum corps to cheer up, almost every day performances); The number of booths is sufficient, but many are empty, and there are no merchants to sell; Scarcity of customers (very few customers come to buy); Sales are deserted (many booths are unattended).
Why is there a phenomenon that the enthusiasm for exhibitions and sales is high, but few customers buy, and the contrast between hot and cold is so huge? According to the author's observation and thinking, there are roughly several factors, one is that the goods are not distinctive, and the goods on display and sale are available in large supermarkets or even street stalls. Second, there is no advantage, because there is a booth rental fee, many commodities are higher than supermarkets. Third, the market is usually in sufficient supply, and consumers do not need to hoard goods, especially food, and can buy fresh things as they eat. Fourth, the most important thing is that consumers, especially young people, have a decline in their income for some reason, and their desire to buy New Year's goods has declined. The elderly are holding their money tightens and spends rationally.
