CONSINEE SHANGHAI CENTER invited Japanese senior retail expert Yuhiro Kaneda to analyze the secrets of the success of United Arrows.

On the afternoon of October 10th, the retail industry sharing event hosted by the CONSINEE SHANGHAI CENTER successfully concluded. The event featured Mr. Yuhiro Kaneda, a seasoned Japanese retail expert and long-term strategic and operational consultant for United Arrows, who delivered an in-depth analysis of the brand's business model and core management strategies. His insights aimed to assist Chinese multi-brand retailers in gaining valuable experience and exploring pathways to breakthrough challenges. Organized by the Xijiang New Retail Research Institute and hosted by the CONSINEE SHANGHAI CENTER, the event attracted over seventy participants, including brand founders and senior executives.

Currently, more than 90% of small and medium-sized multi-brand retailers in China face pressing challenges such as insufficient core competitiveness, delayed brand development, and weak private brand product development, creating an urgent need for transformation. Mr. Yuhiro Kaneda, a second-generation Merchandising Director (MD) expert in the Japanese apparel industry, has provided MD consulting services for department stores, retailers, and apparel companies in Japan and overseas for over two decades. He also serves as a visiting lecturer at the BUNKA Fashion College and an expert committee member at Waseda University, among other institutions, having trained more than 4,000 MD professionals. United Arrows holds a critically important position in Japan's fashion landscape as the country's largest multi-brand store operator. The presence of Mr. Yuhiro Kaneda at the CONSINEE SHANGHAI CENTER undoubtedly provided China's retail industry with a knowledge-rich event combining both theoretical and practical insights.

The event commenced with guests touring the CONSINEE SHANGHAI CENTER under the guidance of staff. From the high-quality product exhibition area to professional exchange spaces, every detail reflected Consinee's commitment to quality and dedication to industry dialogue, setting a solid foundation for the subsequent sharing session. During the substantive lecture, Mr. Yuhiro Kaneda drew on his extensive experience to elaborate on United Arrows' core operational issues, including market positioning, strategic evolution, marketing approaches, product and supply chain management strategies, and private brand development. These detailed analyses provided attendees with practical references for their own operations. Participants actively engaged with questions on retail industry challenges, brand differentiation, and supply chain optimization, fostering a dynamic and interactive atmosphere.

This event established a high-quality platform for exchange among retail professionals. Moving forward, Consinee will continue to uphold its philosophy of openness and sharing by introducing international expertise, building bridges for collaboration, and organizing more high-caliber industry events to foster innovation and development in the sector.
