On the morning of September 26 (the time during which the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday lasts), Wei Zhaohui, secretary of the CPC Huaihua Municipal Committee, conducted an investigation and research tour in the Huaihua branch of Bubugaotiandi shopping-mall for consumption situation. She stressed that it is of necessity to thoroughly study and implement General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important expositions on boosting consumption as well as his important speeches and instructions on work related to Hunan. We should enrich consumption forms and scenarios, promote the quality upgrading of consumption, meet people’s personalized, diversified and high-quality needs of consumption, continuously attract foot traffic and invigorate market vitality.
The Huaihua branch of Bubugaotiandi shopping mall, covering an area of 200,000 square meters, officially opened on September 24. It has introduced a total of 311 brands, including 108 regional first stores—19 prefecture-level city first stores (outside Changsha), 42 first stores in the Xiangxi region, and 47 first stores in Huaihua. It features six floors of themed business formats, spanning daily life, trendy fashion, family and parent-child activities, and nighttime dining and entertainment, making it a brand-new comprehensive commercial landmark in the greater Xiangxi region. After entering the mall, Wei Zhaohui went to each floor to learn about the business format layout, commercial operations, consumer traffic attraction, retail innovation, market supply assurance, safety management, and other related matters.
Wei Zhaohui pointed out that attention should be paid to creating atmosphere, enhancing the consumer experience, increasing publicity for innovative business formats such as first stores, continuously improving the design of consumption scenarios, creating distinctive photo-worthy spots, striving to build diverse experience spaces, and promoting the shift from a short-lived boom to sustained popularity. It is necessary to continuously enrich the variety of business formats, attract local brands to settle in, and enhance the attractiveness and regional characteristics of the commercial complex. It is necessary to seize the peak consumption season, plan and launch pragmatic and effective consumption promotion measures, and further stimulate consumer vitality. It is necessary to enrich the supply of supermarket goods, balance high-end and affordable options, highlight cost-effectiveness and freshness, and better meet diverse demands with high-quality supply. Food safety must be regarded as the lifeline of enterprise development, and measures such as fire safety and crowd flow control must be strictly implemented to improve the level of refined management, so that consumers can shop with confidence, peace of mind, and comfort.
