It is quite important for the door and window industry to grasp trends and channels
The increasingly fierce market competition undoubtedly poses challenges for door and window companies. While ensuring product quality, how to better market their products places higher demands on companies regarding their choice of marketing models and channels. This requires door and window enterprises to actively adapt to the current market environment. Only by keeping pace with industry trends and aligning with consumer demands can companies maximize the effectiveness of their sales channels.
In recent years, with the continuous development of the industry, competition in the door and window market has intensified. The increasing number of companies each year has undoubtedly amplified market competition pressure. As the saying goes: "He who controls the channels controls the market." In this fiercely competitive environment, door and window enterprises must prioritize channel development.
In today's door and window market, product homogenization is common, and while companies continue to expand their markets, promotional and sales costs are gradually rising. Due to limited resources in manpower and capital, enterprises are increasingly focused on selecting an efficient and cost-effective channel model to effectively expand their market presence and achieve maximum output with minimal input. As market competition intensifies and consumer behavior becomes more rational, many door and window companies have shifted from superficial competition—such as products, pricing, and store layouts—to deeper competition in marketing strategies and comprehensive brand promotion.
With the continuous development of the internet industry, traditional home furnishing retail models are gradually being disrupted, leading to debates within the door and window industry about the choice of sales channels. The question of whether to establish a presence in large retail stores varies depending on company size, with differing opinions. The core issue lies in the fact that channel development in the door and window industry is not like that of the appliance sector, where market dominance forces manufacturers to enter retail chains to secure market share.
However, the door and window industry's channels have not reached such a monopolistic status, which is why there is debate over whether entering large retail stores is necessary. Some companies opt for a broad approach, increasing the number of agents and then filtering out underperformers after a period of evaluation. This method may uncover valuable partners but could also lead to high costs and potential damage to brand perception among consumers. More companies may choose mergers or selective partnerships with established agents, adopting existing channels from other brands. While this is a convenient and efficient approach, it may also raise concerns about distributor loyalty.
Regardless of the approach taken, door and window companies must develop their unique strengths. Only by differentiating themselves can they avoid being trapped in the homogenized "red ocean" of competition. In this intense market environment, leveraging their advantages to establish effective channels is the key to achieving successful growth.
