Channel efficiency
More than 8,000 stores and annual sales of more than 80 million, effective from the floor to see, Ping Li Ning sports brand in the domestic effect in the second to none, but there are a lot of room for improvement. Li Ning, a 1700 single-client single-store franchisees, single-store customers can not meet the standards of most space image of the store display level, sales and service levels are low, it is difficult for the timely incorporation and degradation products, goods turnover is slow, integration and help this group competitiveness, enhance sales channels is Li Ning, one of the engines to enhance competitiveness.

Resources in large-scale events, when inferior Jinjiang brand, Li Ning is not in track, field set up a small private plots. This was ignored by other domestic rivals plots, or Li Ning will be a big bonanza of marketing resources.
