Value of products in perfect competition <17>


“The battle is not always to the strong.”

In pure competition like Dongdaemun market, many small and medium-sized wholesalers and their suppliers are gaining trade performance through designer brand for less. 


In the market, there is no transaction unless it is a designer product with a low price. 

In other word, a company’s survival is guaranteed by low-priced designer products.

The people in the marketplace always say, “We must do or die.”

How to mine ‘Pearls in the Mud’ “You know what. A lot of people are mining pearls in mud at the night market.” Perhaps everyone will say quite surprised, “Excuse me. What do you mean?” But that’s true. Many domestic fashion clothing retailers and foreign buyers often go to Dongdaemun market in Seoul. They go from place to place in Dongdaemun market to buy better fashion products made by designers at lower prices. In August 2018, a big data analysis on the image of foreign tourists summarized the responses to Seoul very effectively. “Seoul is a youthful city, enjoying an evening with people and it is quite energetic.” There are two notable landmarks in the Gangbuk area of Seoul.

  We often discuss whether the source of any fashion product is a design lab and a sewing factory, or a market to meet consumers. The issue of debate is whether it is a push on the supply side or a pull on the demand side. In fact, accounts differ.   Of course, designers’ creative designs, production in sewing factories, and supply and shipment to the wholesale market are made according to the consumer needs or preferences, and their desires.
