DIY novice manual ③ Who is the best value in e-commerce/store?

preface:

Once again, every Wednesday, DIY Novice Guide meets you as scheduled! In the last lecture, the author mainly started from the "installation" part, and selected the most easily overlooked link from all the steps, which is regarded as a shot in the arm. From the feedback of netizens, they all affirmed the practicability of the article, which has reached the original purpose of this series of articles: to make every DIY player gain as much as possible.

In the past "Double 11" e-commerce promotion war, we once again saw the consumption capacity of hardworking and kind Chinese netizens. According to the official statistics of Tmall, the sales volume in just one day reached an astonishing 57.1 billion yuan. At the same time, Jingdong Mall has become the main battlefield in the field of home appliances. On the other hand, DIY hardware, which once firmly controlled the share of physical stores, is now shifting its sales balance to e-commerce, which has changed dramatically compared with ten years ago or even five years ago. The theme of our third lecture is closely related to "spending money": for hardware procurement, where can e-commerce and stores buy more "value"!

It is true that for consumers, price is an important factor in deciding which channel to buy. If we refer to most 3C products, we can easily draw a conclusion: physical stores must have no advantage in price than e-commerce because of the cost! In general, there is absolutely no problem, However, based on the particularity of DIY products, the prices of e-commerce and stores are different.

What do you mean? That's because the source of DIY hardware is a complex purchase channel, so we see alternative sources such as "CPU chips, hard disk packs", which are unique to hardware stores. Under the premise of quality assurance, price advantage has many advantages; However, some hardware may be dozens or even hundreds of yuan cheaper in e-commerce. If e-commerce conducts some activities such as "full discount, coupon rebate, package promotion", consumers will get more benefits. In this article, the author will compare the prices of e-commerce and stores, and point out a clear way for friends who are struggling with prices.

In addition to the price, the overall shopping experience of hardware procurement, the after-sales of products, the inherent consumption habits, etc., will exert a subtle influence on the final choice of consumers. Therefore, the author also tries to take into account the factors behind these prices. It is not what the author and you want to see to reduce the so-called unexpected factors.

PS : Between traditional e-commerce and shopping malls, there is also the omnipotent "Taobao". For some common hardware products, most of the quotations on Taobao are the lowest prices that can be bought. However, since there are many merchants on Taobao, it is recommended that players with some experience use this channel. In this article, the line of Taobao will not be emphasized, but will appear in the warm prompt when necessary.
