There are many reasons for the withdrawal, but their common feature is that they have adopted the mode of agency operation.

In the past two years, major international and second tier companies Clothing brand Ji'nan has also been rushing to the market. In particular, several shopping centers in Ji'nan brought hundreds of brand-new well-known brands to the citizens of Quancheng city. But not big brands can be accepted by the market. After market tests, some brands that are not convinced by the market are finally eliminated by the market.

Our decoration and furnishings in every shop in China are designed according to the local cultural characteristics and consumption habits. Only in this way will we better adapt to the local consumer market.
