JDB can't escape the pressure to change the packaging

[Chinese Packaging Network News] Before the red tank decoration case has not yet reached the final result, JDB has apparently been unable to withstand pressure to prepare for packaging. Yesterday, sources said that JDB has decided to replace the existing red cans to replace the packaging. Although the official of JDB did not respond to the news, JDB’s personnel confirmed the change. Analysts pointed out that packaging is an important visual sign for the product. The loss of the red can to Jia Du Bao is no less than the loss of the trademark case three years ago.

Jiaduobao basically completed the final stage
According to yesterday's market news, JDB has already decided to change the packaging, using gold as the background color, and the red color of the new packaging will replace the current red can yellow packaging. According to another source, the new cans began mass production at the end of last week, and the new version of herbal tea will be launched before the Dragon Boat Festival.
In fact, in December last year, when the Guangdong Provincial Higher People's Court ruled that the ownership of red pot herbal tea was owned by Wanglaoji, the packaging of the Jiadubao herbal tea had constituted infringement of Wang Laoji. Legal professionals and related parties in the herbal tea industry said that Jiadu Bao or can not escape the fate of the replacement package, but then Jiaduobao is firmly stated that it will appeal.
Yesterday's dress rumors resumed on the market, but as of press time, the company did not give a clear reply. However, a person close to JDB who did not wish to be named revealed that “the replacement of packaging has been consistent,” but further information such as the withdrawal time of the red cans and the time for the new packaging to be listed has not yet been known.
The decor case was defeated in advance
It is worth noting that the case of Wong Lo Kat and JDB between the ownership of the red cans and packaging and decorating was still in the stage of Jiadubao’s appeal and the second instance was not held after the first trial of Wang Laoji’s success in December last year. At such a critical moment, JDB, who insisted that the appeal expressed dissatisfaction, took the initiative to change the packaging. This behavior was interpreted by industry insiders as: “Jaddob has already accepted the fate, and the odds of reversing the first-instance result are not great.”
The above-mentioned person close to Kadoburo told the Beijing Daily News reporter: “If there is a full grasp of winning the lawsuit, JDB does not need to use manpower and material resources to make new packaging. This shows that they have insufficient confidence.” Renmin University of China Civil and Commercial Affairs Yao Huanqing, deputy director of the Legal Science Research Center, also briefed Beijing Commercial News reporters. According to normal procedures, the Guangzhou Higher People’s Court submitted the appeal application to the Supreme People’s Court. Due to the complexity of the case, the final judgment of the case is expected to be within 2015. Finalized, which means that the market left for Jiaduobao to change, do promotion time is not much.
At present, the replacement packaging for JDB has basically been finalized. Zhang Zheng, research director of Beijing Fulai brand consultancy, introduced that product packaging can create product positioning faster and more profitably, and cause consumers to resonate. "For many years, herbal tea has become a consensus among consumers. It is precisely because consumer spending habits are perceptual and color is a direct perception factor. Therefore, Jiaduobao has replaced this image logo with its sales volume and market influence. It will definitely be affected." Chang is just a judgment.
The fear of a large increase in the cost of profit caused by pressure
“The first thing that changed packaging was the sales of Jardo’s festive market. For the herbal tea market, in addition to the summer sales peak, mid-autumn festivals and Chinese New Year celebrations also accounted for a larger market, so it’s inevitable that the festival market Jiaduobao will In a weak situation." China Food [-1.67%] researcher Zhu Dan Peng Business Research Institute is an analysis.
In addition, people in the food industry analyzed that after the replacement of the trademark in 2012, JDB also achieved an increase in sales of more than 20%, but the price it paid was high publicity marketing expenses. According to the source, Kadobo’s marketing expenses soared to 5 billion yuan in 2012, and 2013 and 2014 also spent nearly 5 billion yuan in total to make a big impact. However, previously Jiaduobao disclosed sales of RMB 20 billion in 2012, and its marketing expenses accounted for 1/4 of sales. “The importance of changing the packaging to the product is no less than the replacement of the trademark. On the one hand, JDB has to bear the cost pressure caused by the replacement of the packaging. In addition, according to JDB’s customary approach of increasing market influence through marketing, plus Duobao's marketing expenses will continue to rise, which will further dilute the company's profits," said industry insiders.
In addition, Zhu Dan Peng also pointed out that the dress will further instigate its sales system, "especially the channel risk, agents, distributors may have the risk of sharing the risk, will cause business uncertainty, JDB's sales will also Unprecedented pressure, and this will bring opportunities for Wong Lo Kat, who is weak in the sales system, to take advantage of the situation."
