The company launched several new product lines last season as winter approached, as it sponsored or hosted a number of domestic marathons, and created staff uniforms for the upcoming Ninth Asian Winter Games to be held next month in the Northern Chinese city of Harbin.

The company’s e-commerce sales performed well in last year’s fourth quarter, rising 30% to 35% for the period compared to 2023. During the National Day holiday in October and “Double 11” online shopping festival in November, 361 Degrees took steps to promote its e-commerce sales by enhancing its brand visibility and product recognition.
