In the context of consumer upgrades, traffic supremacy, and technological iterations, the approach to electronic cigarette chain stores has changed dramatically. Channels are undergoing transformation, the industry is crossing boundaries, the original ecosystem has been disrupted, and everything seems to be in a state of reconstruction regarding new business systems, sales channels, and operational philosophies.
Industry insiders reveal that the current electronic cigarette market is similar to the counterfeit mobile phone market in China a decade ago; some brands that don't sell well today can simply change their name and sell under a different brand tomorrow. The new generation, which is the mainstream consumer group, tends to favor brands that are differentiated, trendy, and social. In the future, only companies that can control the entire industry chain will be competitive. Thus, store brands with new retail genes and attribute advantages will stand out.
Moreover, for multi-brand stores, when customers become tired of a flavor, they can switch to any brand available in the store, which prevents customer loss. It is evident that multi-brand stores have a competitive advantage in customer retention.
Under the influence of capital, the electronic cigarette industry is booming, with offline stores springing up everywhere, and the rapid expansion of stores is astonishing. However, many brands only provide subsidies to franchise stores, while the most challenging aspects of management, operation, and customer acquisition are often glossed over or not mentioned at all.
In contrast, LAMI provides comprehensive subsidies to its franchise stores while also offering ongoing operational support, helping store owners quickly monetize their businesses.
For franchise stores, LAMI offers 100% decoration cost subsidies and up to six months of full rent subsidies, as well as support for product exchanges, meaning franchise stores bear almost no opening risks. In terms of inventory, the brand provides a digital inventory management system, allowing for data-driven inventory management, stock alerts, and sales adjustments, enabling store owners to manage their inventory based on actual sales conditions.
All products in LAMI franchise stores are supplied directly from the manufacturer, eliminating multiple profit margins and providing greater profit space for the stores.
Conclusion
Although electronic cigarettes are a sunrise industry, it is not simply about opening a store without a plan to make money. Therefore, LAMI adds two major supports for franchise agents: five guarantee mechanisms and six empowerment systems. The aim is to provide comprehensive, multi-level, one-stop support for offline stores, covering everything from products to branding, store opening to operations, and traffic to talent, with targeted support and training in all areas to minimize risks and costs for franchisees and maximize profit margins.
LAMI may not be well-versed in marketing, but it understands that only by being grounded can success be achieved. With lifelong operational support for store openings, LAMI stands with store owners through thick and thin, focusing on deep operations centered around users, gradually building brand credibility, which is LAMI's commitment to long-termism.
Since January of this year, LAMI has been gradually launching recruitment efforts in Chongqing, where it already has dozens of stores. Partners from all walks of life are welcome to join LAMI in creating and embracing the industry trend of electronic cigarette stores.
