Abstract

With the rapid improvement of Internet technology and e-commerce theory and practice development, the e-commerce model has materialized and expanded.  It has gradually become a new marketing technique based on the Internet and achieved relatively significant application results. The apparel industry has also begun to apply e-commerce models in marketing to meet consumer demand for self-pursuit, fashion, and individualization. However, affected by various factors, apparel e-commerce is still in its infancy, and there are still deficiencies in popularity and scale. Therefore, to continuously promote their development by applying e-commerce models, apparel companies need to improve their business operations strategy constantly.

This study gathered research on e-commerce operation strategies of apparel companies as a focus. By applying the literature analysis method, this research summarized domestic and foreign e-commerce operation strategies at home and abroad, laid a solid theory for this research foundation’s development, and determined the research direction. In order to thoroughly analyze the e-commerce operation strategies of clothing enterprises, this study used SHANGYI company as a research case. For clarity, this study took the apparel enterprise as the research object to collect traffic data, visitor data, and customer service data. Then, this study made a comprehensive analysis of all the collected data and summarized the existing problems of SHANGYI company and its e-commerce operation. The results found the following: 1) The problems were mainly manifested in the uncertainty of customer target group and product positioning; 2) E-commerce store promotion cost was high, the flow source was unstable and unreasonable; 3)  Promotional activities and price wars caused overall profit reduction; 4) The sales platform of e-commerce stores was relatively simple, and the mode was single; and 5) An imperfect member management mechanism. Therefore, this study suggested: 1) The apparel company should optimize its product and target customer positioning; 2) optimize its marketing and promotion methods; 3) develop the B2C+O2O model; 4) comprehensively raise interest rates; 5) expand its online sales platform and establish a membership system.
