“中产收割机”lululemon，这回盯上了“县城贵妇”？（朗读版）｜E0325

▍原文

Lululemon Athletica is using Douyin, China's version of TikTok, to expand in the Chinese market after sales declined through its main e-commerce channels Taobao and Tmall.

The Canadian sportswear retailer started selling on Douyin late last year, and climbed from 84th into the top 50 in the sports and outdoor goods ranking.

Lululemon's livestream studio on Douyin has attracted consumers from cities where the brand does not have brick-and-mortar outlets.
