The second “China New Product Consumption Ceremony”, hosted by Tmall Hey Box, returns at the beginning of the new year, one year after its debut. At the Ceremony, which has attracted over 200 CEOs and VPs, the participants conduct in-depth surveys of new modes of consumption, new trends, and new marketing strategies in 2020. The Ceremony also issues 2019 Tmall Top 100 New Products of the Year grand awards, announces top 9 trends in the consumption of new products in 2020 as well as Tmall’s strategies for new products in 2020, and reveals Tmall’s trendy products of 2020.

We are also delighted to have invited the observer of new products for Tmall Hey Box, Kevin Tsai. Mr. Tsai will be joined by the renowned science-fiction writer Liu Cixin and CEO of Guokr, Ji Shisan, to conduct a dialogue using human-screen interactive technology to imagine life in the future and to envisage comprehensive new modes of consumption of the Z generation. Surprisingly, the 3 speakers with different backgrounds all have unconstrained imaginations about the future. As Kevin Tsai says, “We humans are a species that realize our dreams. The world Liu Cixin describes, in which humans are robotized and computerized, may come without being noticed.”

The keywords for 2019 are “new products”. On November 11, the GMV of new products on Tmall was over 40.6 billion. 5,000 brands took part in the “Double 11 Incubation Project for a Million New Products”, which successfully promoted 16 new products with GMVs of over 100 million, and 368 new products with GMVs of over 10 million.

Tmall Hey Box, as a strategic product platform for new products on Tmall, obtained impressive results last year. At the Ceremony, Jia Luo, General Manager of Tmall Marketing & Operation Division, in his review announces that Tmall released 100 million new products in 2019. “Currently on Tmall there are 83 million loyal and dedicated customers for new products. Its users search for new products over 10 billion times on their own initiative.” Obviously, Tmall has become the largest online consumer platform for new products globally, and it is also a crucial trend indicator for new products.

Among the 100 million new products released by Tmall last year, the following are indisputably some of the most phenomenal products which would immediately go out of stock when sold: Starbucks cat paw cups which were sold out in 3 seconds, SKII spot brighteners of which 1 million units were sold under 1 minute, MAC lipsticks whose GMV almost reached 100 million on the day of release, and Fresh Crème Ancienne Soft Cream of which 5000 bottles were sold in a single day, etc. At the Ceremony, from 100 million new products, Tmall Hey Box selects Top 100 “2019 New Products of the Year on Tmall” and presents annual awards for new products to representative brands.

In addition, Tmall Hey Box, which is particularly accomplished in releasing new products, brings to us this year’s award ceremony for new products of the year with a fresh outlook. In particular, Tmall Hey Box works with metropolitan record labels that combine both texture and trends in music, brings together popular pieces by several emerging musicians that illustrate the core qualities of the awarded products with music styles as diverse as Urban, Hip-hop, and Jazz, and introduces the products with cool MVs. In this way awarded at the Ceremony are, to name a few, Annual Innovative Time-Honored Brands, Annual New Brands with Potential, Annual Marketing Cases for New Brands, Annual Super Species, Annual Pioneering High-tech Products, Annual Popular New Products on the Internet, Annual Creative Cross-Boundary New Products, and Annual Trendy Media for New Products.
