国家发展部兼教育部高级政务部长傅海燕 于建屋局的零售业座谈会上致词 2010年7月16日 各位嘉宾、先生、女士 我很高兴今天能在这里和大家一起出席建屋局的第二届零售业座谈会。这个座谈会是由建屋局、新加坡标新局和新加坡全国商联总会一同主办的,目的在于协助组屋区的零售业主保持竞争力,与时并进。 去年举办的第一届零售业座谈会吸引了400听众,反应热烈。许多参与者给予好评,要求当局定期举办座谈会。新加坡全国商联总会会长杨向明先生也同意,零售商深受成功商业领袖的启发,从他们的实际经验吸取不少灵感和点子。 2009年商业展望调查结果:零售行情已有所改进 去年,当我为第一届座谈会主持开幕仪式时,我们的经济正受到金融风暴的影响,处于劣境。当时之计是各行各业不断提升运作方式,并利用政府的各 项援助计划,发挥所长,采纳新的营业策略,如建立联盟关系,以应付大型购物中心所带来的竞争,与时并进。 最近的商业展望调查显示,今年的零售行情跟去年比起来已有好转。这点令我感到非常鼓舞。这项调查是在去年9月和10月间进行的,共有各市镇和组屋区的2800名店主参与。在此,我要特别强调几项调查结果。 首先,调查显示,有更多店主认为,稳定的客户群是持续建屋局店面的主要原因。店主为居民提供购物方便和价廉物美的服务,还有更重要的是你们的个人化贴身的服务是你们的竞争优势。这是你们和大型购物中心不同的地方,也是你们独特的品牌魅力。 除此之外,调查结果也显示,店主们对政府的各种援助计划有更好的了解。熟悉援助计划的店主从2008年的28%提高到2009年的63%。参 与这些援助计划的店主数目也比往年多。大部份的店主更对计划赞赏有加,纷纷表示他们的业务在援助计划下受惠。 另 外,结果也显示,更多店主愿意主动推出营业经销措施,来提升自己的业绩。在2009年,就有百分之52的店主尝试这么做。一年后,这个比例上升至百分之
