消费品就一定需要经销商吗?我是疑问句,好像做直营的也不少?泡泡玛特不就自营吗?
No, Hermes does not have third-party distributors. The company relies on a "very limited distribution strategy" through its own retail stores and website to maintain exclusivity and desirability for its products.[2][4]
Some key points about Hermes' distribution approach:
- Hermes has less than 300 boutiques worldwide, and hermes.com is the only authorized online platform selling its products.[2][4]
- The iconic Birkin bag is only sold in Hermes stores, not online, to give customers a reason to visit the physical stores.[2]
- Each Hermes store has a slightly different inventory chosen by the store director who travels to Paris to select products tailored for their local clientele.[4]
- This "very limited distribution" strategy is intentional to maintain scarcity and keep Hermes products coveted by luxury customers.[2][4]
So in summary, Hermes does not use third-party distributors or wholesalers, instead controlling distribution exclusively through its own tightly-managed retail network to preserve the brand's premium positioning and appeal.[2][4]
