On the morning of June 12, the forum of 113th CSF was held in Conference Room M26, Hall E4, of Shanghai New International Exhibition Center. The first keynote speech was delivered by Ding Guoji, the founder of Shanghai Yeading Brand Management and Consulting Co., Ltd.

The founder of Yeading

Against the backdrop of unpopular industry conferences and increasingly picky audience, Ding Guoji’s speech still attracted many people, and the ballroom which can only hold up to 100 people was crowded. In his speech, he analyzed the development trends of creative stationery stores, and deeply interpreted and shared the project consultation, planning and case studies for design.

IP Authorized Ecosphere & Stationery Summit Forum

In the afternoon, the stationery summit forum based on the IP Authorized Ecosphere Empowerment Plan sponsored by the Specialized Committee on China Toy Association Brand Licensing was held, further promoting the development of IP Empowerment for the Stationery Industry and attracting nearly 100 audience members.

During the forum, Li Ling, the marketing director of China Toys & Juvenile Products Association, interpreted the China Licensing Industry Report 2019, and explained in detail the IP image of many well-known brands and successful cooperation cases at home and abroad.

According to the data, the annual retail sales of authorized commodities in China reached 85.6 billion Yuan, with a year-on-year growth rate of 14.6%. Stationery accounts for 5% of the authorized industries. In recent years, more and more stationery enterprises improve their brand value through IP licensing, and the connection between the stationery industry and IP licensing is getting closer and closer.

QIAN Jing

The Director of Greater China of Hasbro Consumer Goods Department

Qian Jing said that brand authorization can bring value to the ordinary products. IP injects fresh energy into traditional products, and authorized products can cover the common consumers of both brands at the same time.

CHEN Chen

The General Manager of Product Center of Truecolor Stationery Co., Ltd.

Chen Chen believed that stationery is an important authorized derivative of IP, and the consumers of stationery cover the audience of IP. IP culture implanted in the stationery products can form stationery with stories; meanwhile, the authorized products under the combination of stationery and IP brought more happy experiences. Subsequently, Chen also shared the case of successful cooperation between Truecolor and Wanda Kids.

LIN Xiaofan

The Deputy General Manager of Guangbo Group Stock Co., Ltd.

Lin Xiaofan pointed out the pain points and difficulties of the combination of the stationery industry and IP licensing at present. It is difficult to attract the attention of the post-1995s and post-2000s generation who are called “Digital Natives”, so the cost of soliciting customers is higher and higher. If conventional products do not want to be caught into a price war, they must have added value to trigger the purchase. All brands have their own story, but most of them are not touching, which means it has little effect on promoting sales. Faced with these problems, Lin pointed out that only through flexible and rapid change, strong design ability, and constantly exploring the potential IP that young people like, can we constantly make the brand "refreshed ", let the frequent users of the brands get a sense of pride, and let the new users become communicators of the brands.

Brand Story

On the second day of the exhibition, the forum continued to be in full swing. In addition to sharing its brand history, Caarany has 22 years of original design experience, and their products have won many national patents in invention, utility model and industrial design. At the forum, Caarany showed us a kind of all-in-one schoolbag with strong functionality, which can be fully unfolded with only a zipper and is easy to gather and clean in order to reduce students' burden.

Marie's, founded in 1995, is 100 years old this year. Zheng Yao shared the story of Marie's with us at the site. She described the origins, developments and products of Marie's and the plan for Marie's future in detail followed with “Time is the true test for all art and using Marie's you all could be the artists that cheerfully pass this test".

ZHENG Yao

The Deputy General Manager and senior engineer

of Shanghai SIIC Marie's Painting Materials Co., Ltd.

She has been engaged in technology research and development for a long time, and has a wealth of product experience. She also shared "The Story of Marie's" in the conference, which included the history and glory of Marie's for a century. She said that the portrait of Chairman Mao hanging on Tiananmen Gate was painted with oil paints of Marie's.

On the 70th anniversary of the National Day celebration this year, many

of the leaders' portraits were also drawn by using the oil paints of Marie's. Her words were filled with pride.

The Building and Upgrading of Stationery Brands

On the afternoon of the 13th, Mr. Yang Jun, the Brand Director of Comix (Group) Co., Ltd., an industry giant, analyzed the current situation in which there are fewer customers in department stores, while IKEA is crowded with people, and explored the differences between traditional retail and new retail, searching for new markets through the analysis of successful retail business models with the theme of “Comix--Visible Changes”. Against the background of this new consumption model, he explained how the stationery industry should give full play to its advantages and how to improve itself and promote brand building. Finally, he shared with us the upgraded changes made in terminal stores, marketing methods, IP product creativity and promotion under the environment of consumption upgrading, so that the shopping experience is made more valuable and the office more comfortable.
