近日,山姆會員商店因上架好麗友派引發一些會員強烈不滿。
據湖北經視《經視直播》報道,近日,山姆會員商店的選品問題引發廣泛關注,不少網友吐槽山姆下架了太陽餅、米布丁、低糖蛋黃酥等回購率高且性價比高的商品。同時,對其新上架的低糖好麗友派、溜溜梅等商品表示不滿意,質疑山姆選品質量下滑。
Sam's Club faces mounting consumer criticism over recent product curation shifts, as it introduces commonplace supermarket brands like Orion and Hsu Fu Chi while delisting distinctive, high-value items. Members allege declining selection standards at the membership-based retailer.
有網友直言:“我花錢辦卡進會員超市,你賣我家門口就能買到的東西,把我們消費者當韭菜是吧。”
記者在山姆會員商店App搜索發現,網友熱議的太陽餅、米布丁和低糖蛋黃酥確實未顯示相關商品信息。7月14日上午,記者以消費者身份撥打山姆會員商店客服電話反映此事,工作人員表示,商品下架信息以山姆會員商店App提示的信息為準,對于選品的問題,后續會盡力改善商品品質。
When contacted by a reporter posing as a consumer on Monday morning, Sam's Club customer service stated that product discontinuations are based on notifications in its official app. Regarding selection concerns, the representative added that the company "will strive to improve product quality".
社交媒體上被質疑的“低糖好麗友派”,于今年6月在山姆上新。新品在原有配方上進行了創新,減少了80%的糖分,同時增加了30%的可可含量,售價為49.9元一盒,內含48枚。
Among the criticized items is the "low-sugar Orion Choco Pie", launched in June. Marketed as containing 80 percent less sugar and 30 percent more cocoa than the original formula, the 48-piece box retails for 49.9 yuan. Over 300 negative reviews cite excessive sweetness, with one member noting: "I bought this for low sugar, but it's still overly sweet."
在商品評論區,這款好麗友派有300多人打出了差評,有消費者稱:“看到低糖才買的,但實際吃起來太甜。”
據藍鯨新聞報道,從產品定位來看,低糖配方本應契合山姆會員店一貫倡導的健康理念,也符合其目標客群中產對品質生活的追求。然而此次爭議點在于,好麗友品牌在2022年深陷“配料表雙標”風波后,其品牌形象在消費者心中已大打折扣。
盡管好麗友官方后續澄清稱全球產品配方一致,所謂“雙標”系誤讀,但這一解釋并未能完全消除消費者的疑慮。
除了好麗友,衛龍、徐福記、溜溜梅等大眾品牌產品陸續進駐山姆貨架,而曾經引發搶購熱潮的蛋黃酥、楊枝甘露、焦糖餅干千層等特色商品卻悄然下架。
對于這種選品策略的變化,不少會員表示,山姆與普通超市相比越來越同質化。“我們支付會員費,就是相信山姆能幫我們過濾掉有爭議的品牌。”在社交媒體上可以看到,消費者對山姆選品團隊的信任度正在動搖。
Members express frustration as mass-market brands replace exclusive, sought-after items. "We pay membership fees trusting Sam's to filter out controversial brands," one member commented on social media, reflecting eroding confidence in the buying team.
記者了解到,引發爭議的低糖好麗友派、徐福記燕麥藜麥蛋糕、芥末味板燒蝦餅、溜溜梅智利無核西梅干等產品,在普通商超確實無法購買,為山姆特供商品,但這些品牌本身卻讓會員們感到“違和”。
Notably, disputed products — including the low-sugar Orion Choco Pie, Hsu Fu Chi oatmeal quinoa cakes and Liuliumei Chilean prune snacks — are Sam's-exclusive but clash with members' expectations of premium curation.
對山姆會員而言,支付260元的年費本質上是在為“嚴選服務”買單。付費會員希望通過這種服務獲得比普通商超更優質的品牌。然而隨著好麗友、徐福記、衛龍等大眾品牌的入駐,山姆在會員心中的差異化正在被稀釋。
“不是針對好麗友這一款產品,而是山姆的選品邏輯變了。如果山姆的選品和便利店沒什么區別,我為什么還要額外花錢辦會員?”一位山姆卓越會員告訴記者。
在社交媒體上,類似的聲音也并不少見,甚至還有會員給山姆總部寫信,反饋選品質量問題,這條帖子已經有近千條評論。
On social media, a post about members writing to Sam's headquarters criticizing product quality has garnered nearly 1,000 comments.
今年5月,沃爾瑪公布一季度業績。其中,沃爾瑪中國增長強勁。而沃爾瑪在中國市場的增長得益于山姆會員店和電商業務。
沃爾瑪中國總裁兼首席執行官朱曉靜表示,在上一財季中國春節銷售旺季,山姆會費收入再次增長了35個百分點,會員店業務非常繁忙。2024年,山姆在中國的營業額突破1000億元人民幣。
