【推荐3】One day not too long ago the workers of a large company in St. Louis, Missouri returned from their lunch break and were greeted with a sign on the front door.

【推荐1】Do you know about Bee & Flower? It was once a well-known hair care brand in China. Many brands like this have disappeared because young people don’t know about them. But recently, some old Chinese brands have made a comeback. It’s a good start, but there’s more to it.

In early September, anger over a makeup brand’s eyebrow pens (眉笔) lit up the Internet. Some people thought that they were too expensive as it cost 79 yuan to get three pens. Shortly after, Bee & Flower started to sell three large bottles of hair care products for the same price. It showed that Chinese products could still be cost-effective.

Many Chinese brands took their chance by selling through livestreaming (直播). What’s more, they also helped sell each other’s products. For example, hosts of sports brand Erke washed their hair with Bee & Flower products on Sept 13.

Liu Xing, from Beijing, said she bought the hair care products after learning about their quality (质量) and the brands’ history last week. “The packaging of these products may not be as nice as those of big brands, and the companies may not be able to afford the expensive ads, but the quality of the products and their prices surprised me. I wish I’d known about these old Chinese brands earlier,” Liu said.

▲ . Why? For one thing, they think that the products of these Chinese brands are good to use and don’t cost much. Also, it makes buyers feel proud. They can help these old brands “come back to life” by buying the products. Buyers believe in these brands and will use their money to help them grow.

However, livestreaming events should only be a start. How can brands keep people interested? Good products with good prices. The brands shouldn’t take advantage of people’s trust. They should turn it into a reason to make their products better.
