Ethan Yu's questions to Yunji Inc (YJ) leadership • Q3 2024
Question
Ethan Yu asked about the strategy behind expanding into offline wellness stores, the key differences between the offline and online business models, and the future integration plans for both.
Answer
Chairman and CEO Shanglue Xiao explained that the offline expansion targets Yunji's aging customer base (40-55 years old), which represents a natural progression for its earliest users. He noted the offline model is hyper-local, focusing on 500-meter community radiuses for direct feedback, differing from the broader online approach. Xiao outlined a future strategy to integrate online sales with the trusted offline services, creating synergy for Yunji's private label and health-focused products.
