The “Pop-up store” turned out to be the most important offline initiative of Alibaba for the Nov. 11 Shopping Day this year – the first year since it developed the concept of “new retailing.” As the first hardware service provider of Alibaba for its new retailing campaign, CVTE took part in the implementation of the smart pop-up store swiftly. Providing “end-to-end” hardware solutions for a variety of service providers and presenting smart screen, custom makeup trial screen and many other black technology products one after another, CVTE had instilled “hard strength” into this tremendous reform of retail business underway.

Consumers of interest only needed to click the screen to read product information and scan the QR code to make a purchase.
