In the context of the rapid development of e-commerce, the retail model is undergoing unprecedented and profound changes. From the rise of the early ** model to the prevalence of community distribution today, the evolution of new retail models has not only reshaped the business form, but also had a profound impact on consumer behavior, market structure and even the entire economy and society.

*The birth of the model stems from the dual drive of Internet technology and consumption concepts. This model makes full use of the aggregation effect of the Internet, and achieves a win-win situation for merchants and consumers by bringing together the purchase needs of a large number of consumers. On the one hand, consumers can enjoy lower and more discounts through **; On the other hand, merchants can also use this to increase sales and reduce inventory pressure. With its unique business model innovation, the model has opened a new chapter in online retail, making e-commerce closer to public life, and greatly promoting the development and growth of China's e-commerce industry.

However, with the intensification of market competition and the improvement of consumers' personalized needs, the ** model has gradually shown its limitations. At this time, social distribution emerged as a new retail model that is more flexible and sticky. Community distribution is based on social networks, relying on the interpersonal chain for product promotion and sales, which converts consumers into distributors and uses everyone's social resources to achieve fission communication and sales of goods and services.

The core of community distribution lies in "people", and by building consumption scenarios based on trust relationships, consumers' shopping experience and brand loyalty are enhanced. With the help of big data and artificial intelligence technology, refined operations can be carried out according to the preferences and needs of users, and a high degree of matching between supply and demand is achieved. In addition, social distribution provides new opportunities for solopreneurs, enabling the implementation of the concept of "everyone can start a business", which further stimulates the vitality of the social economy.

The impact of community distribution is omnipresent. First of all, for enterprises, social distribution can help expand sales channels, reduce customer acquisition costs, enhance brand image and influence, and achieve sustainable growth. Secondly, for consumers, community distribution meets their consumption needs for personalization, quality and convenience, and at the same time, by participating in distribution, they can also obtain additional income to achieve the dual value of consumption and income generation. Finally, from a macro perspective, community distribution, as an important part of new retail, has effectively promoted the development of China's digital economy, promoted the optimization and upgrading of industrial structure and the diversification of social employment.

In general, the evolution of the new retail model from ** to community distribution is a keen response and deep adaptation to market demand, technological innovation and changes in the social environment. In the future, with the in-depth application of cutting-edge technologies such as 5G and AI, we have reason to believe that the new retail model will continue to innovate, continue to lead the transformation and development of the retail industry, continuously explore and release new economic growth points, and contribute to the construction of a more prosperous, open and inclusive social and economic system.
