Through subsidies, consumers’ desire to place orders was stimulated, the proportion of orders placed by consumers was increased, and the speed of placing orders was improved.

How about the promotion of international brands? Tax free + Super price competition. (1) From the perspective of product matrix: the participation of international brands, the number of brand SKUs increased significantly compared with 618 in the year of 21, slightly increased compared with the double 11 in the year of 21, and the willingness to participate increased. (2) Price comparison – Super head vs official flag: the high luxury brands represented by lamer and Helena and the high-end brands represented by Lancome and Estee Lauder are basically the same as the official flagship store in the super head live broadcasting room, and the price discount of gifts is considered to be 7-10% of the official flag; The price and gifts of overseas popular brands and efficacy skin care products have obvious advantages. The price of the live broadcasting room is 6-80% off that of the official flag. (3) Price comparison – Super head vs China free: the daily sales of China free are mainly formal clothes, diversified online sales and strong discounts, and the prices of some products are lower than those of super head.

How about the promotion of domestic brands? The richness of products is improved, and the price changes are different. (1) From the perspective of product matrix: the richness of domestic products has been significantly improved compared with the “double 11” in the 21st year. For example, Winona has added light spot essence, Proya Cosmetics Co.Ltd(603605) double anti facial mask and Yuanli essence, and Guangdong Marubi Biotechnology Co.Ltd(603983) Guangdong Marubi Biotechnology Co.Ltd(603983) has logged into the super head live broadcast room for the first time during the promotion period, and the richness of the product matrix has been improved. (2) From the perspective of product price: ① Winona: the prices of Shumin moisturizing special care cream, freeze-dried facial mask and sunscreen were higher than those of the “double 11” and were the same as those of the “618” in the year of 21; ② Proya Cosmetics Co.Ltd(603605) 618: the price of the product is basically the same as that of the “double 11” in the 21st year, and the number of gifts is increased.

Investment suggestion: 618 greatly promotes the maintenance of high discounts. Considering the gradual easing of the epidemic and the recovery of logistics in Shanghai, we are optimistic about the performance of domestic products under the trend of effective skin care. We mainly recommend Yunnan Botanee Bio-Technology Group Co.Ltd(300957) , Bloomage Biotechnology Corporation Limited(688363) , Proya Cosmetics Co.Ltd(603605) , Lushang Health Industry Development Co.Ltd(600223) .

Risk tip: the prosperity of the industry is declining; Increased competition; Epidemic disturbance; The launch of new cosmetics brands is less than expected; Price fluctuation risk of raw materials and products.
