欢迎收听雪球出品的财经有深度,雪球,国内领先的集投资交流交易一体的综合财富管理平台,聪明的投资者都在这里。今天分享的内容叫新消费、旧消费和FMCG们的路线之争,来自德加圣手。新消费和旧消费已经到了“路线之争”的地步,近日来随着港股新消费代表们再创新高和所谓以白酒为代表的传统消费资产持续下跌,这样的讨论已经到了白热化的地步。新旧消费的定义大体是,新消费是指更多体现情绪价值,不以产品制造成本定价,契合年轻人需求的消费品,甚至我看有人统一定义为没有被资金抱团过的消费品。而旧消费就是传统消费量价模型下,以白酒为代表的,可能之前被机构重重抱团过的消费品。中国的公募基金非常可笑,只要提到是消费品基金,无论主动还是被动,都大比例的会持有白酒,但实际上我个人如果要给消费划分阵营的话,应该是新消费、旧消费,和穿越百年依然经久不衰的快速消费品,FMCG。白酒和FCMG完全不应该都划到旧消费这一阵营中,因为两者其实有本质区别。对于FMCG的定义是,一个消费品可以称为快速消费品,必须同时满足三个条件:1、单个产品价格低廉;2、只要条件允许,产品生产可以快速复制和流程化,理论上可以在全球任何市场本地化其工厂,生产和销售本产品;3、销售通路宽又广。白酒没有一条符合这样的定义,白酒的均价从来不会和廉价二个字挂钩,茅台只能在茅台镇生产,他们的销售通路也依然是传统经销商加少量门店、电商等直营。所以把白酒和FMCG们都划到传统消费的阵营里,是不合适的。我对新消费的看法挺明确的,目前在新消费上赚了3倍以上的朋友,我是真心羡慕你们,仅以泡泡玛特为例,我很佩服你们能在泡泡玛特70元之前选择重仓。抓住了需求扩张,甚至连公司自己都没能预料到需求能有如此扩张的投资机会,你们在那个时候,判断出了后面的需求会更好,并且让这一预想成为现实,重仓持有,这绝对是不容易的。但这不是我的投资模型,即使让我回到泡泡玛特70元的时候,我还是投不了他。我的模型是不认可以未来需求会更好作为出发点去下投资决策的,我能投的生意,是要求,无论需求好坏,他都能长期稳定的挣钱,不需要持续资本开支的前提下越挣越多,并且能够从全球的行业和赛道的终局状态中反馈给当下进行定价,我投格力,就是全球终局状态下反馈定价的典型案例,和投泡泡玛特完全不是一码事。泡泡这门生意,我找不到全球终局模型,这对我来说是无法定价的生意。当然,投泡泡的原因我相信肯定不止于对需求的判断,也有很多供给端的考虑,泡泡这样的公司是独特的,也是现象级的,我抓不到这样的机会,确实是心中羡慕,但我依然不会改变自己的模型,这不是固步自封,而是一个投资人根子上对投资这个事情的理解。就目前的位置和价格来看,我对泡泡玛特的想法也很清晰,我觉得目前是有巨大泡沫的时点,标志是泡泡已经开始逐渐严重的金融化。之所以一直对茅台有担心,也和金融化有很大关系。古今中外,凡是被金融化的产品,无一例外最终都将被戳破泡沫。因为金融化会短期内急速的放大需求,泡泡很好,大家很喜欢,需求是100,而目前供给可能只有70。但带上金融化属性后,需求会迅速膨胀到1000甚至10000,这种短期内基于金融本质属性扩张的百倍以上需求,都是泡沫。但为了应对快速膨胀的“需求”,企业不得不尽快提升产能,增加供给,“缝纫机都踩冒烟了”。然而金融属性的需求,是建立在沙滩之上的,随便有一些风吹草动,这9000多可能就跑了。那个时候,即使真正喜欢泡泡的需求,可能翻了5倍变成500,但供给在那个时候已经是5000了,怎么办。我不知道这个泡沫会不会越吹越大,何时会被捅破。但基于我对这件事物的判断和理解,这个价格无论如何我是无法进场的了,只能继续观察。我觉得,这也会帮助我加深对这类新消费公司的理解。白酒消费,谈过很多次了,这里就不再赘述,如果没有大的意外,后面的路会很难走,这个资产在我这里依然没有性价比,等看看后续的价格吧。茅台一样存在上述金融化的风险,但激烈程度和趋势会因为商品的不同而有所区别。茅台有个重要功能是办事。即使现在场景已经没了很多,但中国这个人情社会,办事的需求永远都在。然而情绪需求,悦己需求,是很容易被别的东西替代的,而办事的需求,是有求于别人,本质还是不一样。我自己还是会站FMCG多一点。终局概念上来看,FMCG之所以能在全球风云变化的几百年里生生不息,屹立不倒,核心其实就在于上面提到的对他的三点定义。这样的产品满足的是人类长期稳定的需求,只要还有人类在,他们依然会继续生长下去。FMCG是“重剑无锋”的资产,虽然看着不起眼,也没什么炫目的题材,这几年更没有耀眼的业绩,但和其他很多资产相比他最大的优势是,有底。甚至我夸张点说,商业世界很多赛道、生意,烟一阵雨一阵,最后大多烟消云散,长期来看,可能都不如卖包子的活得有韧性。当然这是开玩笑,但我想说的是,投资这个事,得知道底在哪里,我之所以这些年几乎就只看消费,只投消费和可转债,就因为这两个东西,都有底,还是那句话,这是一个人根子上对投资这个事的理解。这几天我也在反思我自己的研究框架,发现确实很有问题,后面我也会继续优化和调整,但关于“有底”这个事,不会改变,这也是未来继续优化投研模型的方向。关于新消费、旧消费,不是对错之分,这更多是价值观的选择,我觉得还是应该抱着开放的心态多学习,同时坚持自己该坚持的东西,不断努力下去吧。

This year’s inaugural CMO Awards weren’t just a showcase of Australian marketing leaders doing an excellent job of marketing stewardship and effectiveness. We also introduced the Best Growth Initiative of the Year award, supported by Publicis Groupe, to single out and recognise strategic growth initiatives led by marketing teams. In this podcast episode, we bring together Jenni Dill, CMO of inaugural award winner, Arnott’s Group, with Cath Brands, CMO of highly commended Flintfox International, plus inaugural judge Ty Hayes, former Curtin Uni CMO and founder of Growth Generators, to delve into what it takes to unlock growth that delivers business-grade impact. From first identifying the opportunity, to how they freed up capacity and gained cross-functional buy-in to make it happen, these marketing leaders from very different B2C and B2B worlds shed light on the programs of work that led to success – and importantly, where they had to rethink and pivot. For judges, Arnott’s Gluten Free was a clear winner for Best Growth Initiative of the Year award for its gluten free effort – the most incremental launch the FMCG has had to date. Today, gluten-free biscuits make up approximately 10 per cent of the total biscuit market, with an impressive annual growth rate of 40 per cent. Remarkably, Arnott’s has driven 82 per cent of this growth in the past year alone, chalking up $40 million in sales. “When we got into it, what people really wanted was our biggest, known, loved icons, but gluten-free versions with no taste trade off. So that pretty quickly set our true north,” says Jenni Dill. “That meant a multi-year journey to invest in new bakeries, establish new ways of working, new methods of baking, new ways of going to market, new locations on shelf. It really was a concerted effort, but we also wanted to make sure we weren't waiting two or three years to do something. So we had to get an MVP in the market. We had to start with our simpler products that were easier to get taste equivalent matches to in a gluten-free version. And then everything we did from a marketing perspective, had to make sure that everything was as incremental as it could possibly be.” At Flintfox, meanwhile, the growth opportunity was to take an Australian-made pricing solutions offering into the German, Austrian and Swiss markets. “The team and I had two goes at this,” Cath Brands admits. “In the first attempt, we did it the lazy way – we put a translate button on the website, did some contextual translation of what we did and decided to buy some LinkedIn media. Turns out that that's not how you go to business in Germany. That's not how the Germans play the game.” Take two required an all-encompassing approach: Native product extension, translation and new integrations with SAP, identifying nuanced user and macro conditions, building a market presence from scratch and a go-to-market approach. The result was winning two really big customers in Germany last year worth millions. For Ty Hayes, however different this year’s winner and highly commended brands may be, each identified strategic, innovative, approaches to drive significant net new revenue. “That was either attacking a new category or creating a new category, or entering a new market,” he says. They also demonstrate what Hayes sees as the top three things every growth initiative of substance needs: “Insight, foresight and experimentation”.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Well dear listener, you enjoyed last week's episode with Oneka John so much, we've asked her back for a Part II. This week we uncover the challenges and potential pitfalls of importing wine into Barbados. While there are some things more unique to this beautiful island, we uncover some universal truths about forecasting, cash flow, and the perennial Ops vs. Sales. We also raise the question once again as to whether wine is an FMCG product (bet you can't guess what we think). From there we consider the community surrounding wine and how to make it more accessible and inviting. Oneka talks about her Perfectly Paired events and how she uses her immense market and product knowledge to invite, excite, and engage a wide variety of consumers in the burgeoning wine scene.

In today's episode on 6th May 2025, we tell you why Indian FMCG (Fast Moving Consumer Goods) companies are chasing protein packed foods.
Building community can be one of the most important parts of building a brand and business. When people talk about businesses and customers, we are really talking about a community of people. What does it take to become a valuable and useful member of a community, rather than just a business selling into a community? What are the benefits? And how do you set out to give enough value that people want to do things with you and for you? These are all questions today's guest is an expert in. Chanel Clark is a marketing leader who decided she needed community around her to help her grow in her role, leading marketing for Ārepa, a functional FMCG brand with a mission to help make brains better. When Chanel started The Marketing Club she thought she might get 30 people. As of April 2025, they have 10,000 members across AU and NZ. Chanel joins the pod to talk what it takes to build such a community, and how listening to that community is the key to success. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Šta se desi kada IT-jevac u duši upadne u svet marketinga i zavoli haos? U 312. epizodi Pojačala, Ivan razgovara sa Jovanom Bugarčićem – direktorom marketinga kompanije Imlek, nekadašnjim IT-ijevcem, preduzetnikom u duši i čovekom bogate profesionalne i životne biografije. U ovom iskrenom i ležernom razgovoru, Jovan nas vodi kroz svoj put – od detinjstva u Čačku i ranih fascinacija računarima, preko studija na FON-u, do uspešne karijere u marketingu velikih sistema kao što su Lactalis, PepsiCo i Imlek. Epizoda otkriva kako izgleda prelaz iz sveta programiranja u svet brendova i potrošača, kako se iz hobija rađa poslovna strast, i na koji način korporativno iskustvo može da se obogati autentičnim preduzetničkim duhom. Pričamo i o transformaciji domaće FMCG industrije, važnosti istraživanja tržišta, digitalizaciji marketinga, kao i o balansiranju karijere, roditeljstva i ličnih interesovanja. Jovan deli konkretne primere kampanja, izazova i uspeha, osvetljava promene u potrošačkom ponašanju i otvoreno govori o svojim greškama i lekcijama koje su iz njih proizašle. Ako želite da saznate kako se gradi karijera na raskršću tehnologije, biznisa i kreativnosti – ova epizoda je za vas.

In this episode of Grow a Small Business, host Troy Trewin interviews Stefan Di Benedetto from SolBevi. Stefan discussed the phenomenal growth of his limoncello brand, including more than doubling sales and expanding into New Zealand. He shared insights into the challenges of starting solo and the importance of team building. The conversation also touched upon key marketing strategies like "liquid on lips" and the complexities of funding rapid growth in the FMCG industry. Stefan offered valuable lessons learned during his entrepreneurial journey. Why would you wait any longer to start living the lifestyle you signed up for? Balance your health, wealth, relationships and business growth. And focus your time and energy and make the most of this year. Let's get into it by clicking here. Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? Stefan Di Benedetto believes the hardest thing in growing a small business is having to do everything yourself, especially at the start. Stefan recounted his experience of managing cross-functional tasks such as marketing, finance, and sales simultaneously. He described physically going from venue to venue during the day and then working until midnight on administrative tasks like paying invoices and cash flow forecasting What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Stefan Di Benedetto stated that his favorite business book that has helped him the most is "Shoe Dog" by Phil Knight. He mentioned that the book reminds him of similar situations he has gone through in his business, such as taking risks and experiencing financial difficulties, and it provides him with a lot of motivation. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? Stefan Di Benedetto mentioned that he doesn't really use any online tools for his professional development. Instead, he listens to a lot of business-related podcasts. He specifically enjoys podcasts where he can learn from people who have exited businesses and built successful companies. He also listens to podcasts that discuss marketing and marketing strategies, including what's current and how to be strategic. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? Stefan Di Benedetto recommends using Xero as a key tool to grow a small business. He emphasizes its value in helping business owners understand their numbers, which he believes is crucial for making informed decisions and sustaining growth. He also highlights the importance of working with a good bookkeeper or accountant who can help interpret those numbers, rather than just recording them. This combination, according to Stefan, provides clarity and supports smarter business decisions. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? On day one, Stefan Di Benedetto would tell himself, “It's going to be hard.” He admits he was likely naive about the challenges of his new industry, especially compared to his previous experience in consultancy and construction, where he felt more confident. The unexpected difficulties taught him that persistence and resilience are essential. His core advice to himself would be: “It's going to be hard, but just don't back down.” Book a 20-minute Growth Chat with Troy Trewin to see if you qualify for our upcoming course.
