作为zuò wéi第十一dì shí yī届jiè地坛Dì tán银杏yín xìng文化wén huà节jié的de一yī部分bù fen,沿yán银杏yín xìng大道dà dào设立shè lì的de市集shì jí商品shāng pǐn丰富fēng fù,市民shì mín络绎不绝luò yì bù jué。

然而rán ér,年轻nián qīng人rén对duì价格jià gé依然yī rán敏感mǐn gǎn。

市集shì jí商品shāng pǐn常cháng因yīn“手工shǒu gōng制作zhì zuò”而ér价格jià gé偏piān高gāo,加上jiā shàng部分bù fen摊位tān wèi租金zū jīn较jiào贵guì,影响yǐng xiǎng整体zhěng tǐ性价比xìng jià bǐ。

消费者xiāo fèi zhě表示biǎo shì,如果rú guǒ商品shāng pǐn独特dú tè或huò购物gòu wù体验tǐ yàn愉快yú kuài,他们tā men愿意yuàn yì支付zhī fù更gèng高gāo价格jià gé。

市集shì jí的de核心hé xīn优势yōu shì在于zài yú营造yíng zào独特dú tè场景chǎng jǐng,连接lián jiē人rén与yǔ城市chéng shì,成为chéng wéi现代xiàn dài人rén“好hǎo好hǎo生活shēng huó”的de一yī种zhǒng方式fāng shì。
