Introduction:IResearch predicts that the size of China's medical beauty market will reach 173.9 billion yuan in 2019, slowing down to 20.1%. From 2013 to 2017, the medical and aesthetic industry was in a stage of rapid development, with a large number of institutions emerging to meet consumer demand. In 2015, the number and demand of consumers were further increased due to the influence of social media online celebrity culture.
The growth rate of medical beauty market slows down, and institutions and users are mismatched
IResearch predicts that the size of China's medical beauty market will reach 173.9 billion yuan in 2019, slowing down to 20.1%. From 2013 to 2017, the medical and aesthetic industry was in a stage of rapid development, with a large number of institutions emerging to meet consumer demand. In 2015, the number and demand of consumers were further increased due to the influence of social media online celebrity culture. 2018 is the turning point of the industry, and a large number of small and medium-sized institutions are facing difficulties in making profits. The market shows a mismatch between supply and demand (the mismatch between consumers and employees in project, communication, service and other links). On the one hand, the number of new consumers declined, and it was difficult for consumers with strong demand to find suitable institutions and doctors; On the other hand, a large number of small and medium-sized institutions are short of new customers and old customers due to the lack of medical and operational talents; Therefore, the growth rate of the market has slowed down. It is predicted that after 2-4 years of institutional self adjustment and reform, as well as the improvement of the consumption demand and ability of the younger generation, the market will gradually recover.
The key breakthrough point is customer acquisition and transformation in the short term
Medical and aesthetic vertical platforms are popular:The marketing methods of medical and aesthetic institutions in China are mainly traditional media, outdoor, search engine and channel referral, accounting for 60-90% of the marketing spending. However, the ROI of the traditional marketing model has declined year by year due to the environmental impact of consumers, diversification of information channels and fierce competition among medical and aesthetic institutions. Therefore, many institutions began to explore new customer acquisition marketing models, among which the medical beauty app won with high ROI. In addition to medical beauty APP, institutions are also testing waterWe media, information flow, cross industry cooperation, etc. However, accurate and multi-channel investment requires a high reserve of institutional talents, and many institutions are powerless. Therefore, some medical and aesthetic vertical platforms are also committed to developing marketing tools, so as to select the most effective marketing methods for institutions and provide the most suitable institutions for consumers.
Nurses and online platforms will assume the functions of consultants:The transformation to the store is an important indicator to measure the operation of the organization. Under the traditional mode, most consultants undertake sales transformation work and guide customers to choose medical beauty projects. However, most consultants are good at communicating with consumers of a certain age group, and it is difficult to gain insight into the consumption psychology of multiple age groups. The generation gap among them reduces the consumption transformation. Therefore, the direction of communication between institutions and consumers is to have multiple people, reduce the sense of marketing, improve medical professionalism and enhance the ability of dialogue. Among them, the medical profession can be undertaken by nurses, while the improvement of multi person, multi faceted and dialogue ability will be undertaken by online platforms/customer management systems and other operational tools, such as Yuemei's medical beauty vertical APP.
Yuemei focuses on small and medium-sized medical and aesthetic institutions, enabling refined operation and customer acquisition
Enterprise development history:The development of Yuemei has been accompanied by the growth of medical beauty consumers, which has mainly gone through three stages of development.

The second stage, 2016-2018, is to build online and offline collaboration capabilities: Yuemei began to explore the enabling path of doctors and offline institutions in 2015. At first, it was the model of doctor broker. Through the creation of special pages, personal home pages, online projectsUGC, user diary posts and a series of promotional content to improve doctors' market awareness, and provide online doctor assistant services for in-depth transformation.

In 2018, Yuemei comprehensively optimized its platform operation, improved its traffic efficiency, delivery efficiency and personnel efficiency, and committed to providing consumers and institutions with high-quality content.
In the third stage, from 2018 to now, enable doctors and institutions. In 2019, the platform will build a business operation data support system, and rely on offline accumulation to promote the enabling strategy for medical and aesthetic institutions to help improve the GMV of institutions.
