Description

Method of selling goods at a reduced price

The invention is an automatic price reduction method for selling goods, in particular a method for judging whether a price reduction is to be made via reference materials within a specified time.

According to the development of modern network equipment, the speed of information transmission is much faster than before, especially the behavior of buying and selling goods through the Internet. Through the setting of many online trading platforms, users can conduct transactions on the platform.

The way the trading platform moves includes the setting mode of pricing and selling. However, this method is defined by the seller to define the quantity and value of the goods through the website platform, and the selling time is carried out according to the set value. During this period, the goods are sold. The amount remains the same unless the seller modifies it.

In fact, for time-sensitive goods, their value will gradually decrease over time, especially in the food or hotel industry. Food is limited by the period of use, and the hotel industry is because once the time has passed, the remaining unoccupied vacancies (that is, corresponding to the inventory room) will not generate income. However, the general hotel industry will be reluctant to sell, unwilling to directly open the sale of unsold inventory rooms at low prices.

Although there are a few platform operators who integrate hotel information and make a clearance sale for the unsold inventory of the hotel, they only require the travel management to sell low to achieve the effect of clearance, in other words. It is a cliff-type (one-time) price reduction method. For the tourism industry, it is not easy to generate profits in the platform of collective price reduction competition.

Therefore, when using existing methods and mechanisms for price reduction sales, it is not easy to make a profit.

In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a method for selling a sale price of a commodity, which can be set by the operator to start the clearance time, the end of the clearance time, the minimum acceptance price, and the quantity of the clearance, and the system can perform a stepwise price reduction or automatically reduce the price according to the reference data. . Through the setting of reference materials, the system can be closer to the actual situation of the products, and adjust the price reduction according to their status, so that consumers and sellers can achieve a price balance, overcoming the knowledge that the seller can only guess the market status according to the feeling. To determine the extent of the price reduction.

As described above, the payment method of the buyer may include a transfer, a credit card payment, or a third-party payment. As long as the payment can be proved to be paid, the transaction can be completed with peace of mind.

One of the method steps of the present invention may include: a set of seller inventory condition settings may achieve a stepped price reduction, a message push action, a payment confirmation step, and an operator notification step.

The inventory price reduction condition setting step is to determine the quantity of the clearance, the start time, the end time and the lowest price by an operator. The program can calculate by itself. When the calculation time or the number reaches the calculation target, the price will be lowered to the next step until the next step. The lowest price defined by the operator. After the operator enters the definition, the platform will be transmitted to the fixed and non-fixed consumers by webpage or mobile notification (Push Notification). Its price can be lowered like a step, when the consumer agrees to the price After the purchase and completion of the payment, the system will issue a notice of successful purchase to the hotel provider.

From the above steps, consumers do not need to query each industry individually, and the platform will push out the low-cost and low-price information, which has better ways and channels for the industry to clear the inventory.

When the price falls in a stepwise manner, the operator confirms the first start time and price, and the consumer can purchase it with reference to his personal ideal price.

If the inventory still exists, the system will automatically calculate the time and price to enter the second level, send and display the message for the consumer to make the purchase action, the above actions are repeated until the stop time or the lowest price provided by the operator to reach the purpose of clearing.

The invention further provides a reservation system for the price reduction sales of the automatic price reduction sales platform, which comprises a server (group/cloud computing), and the server (group/cloud computing) is connected to the plurality of subscriber terminal devices through the network and The operator terminal device performs information transmission; any one of the operators sets the room inventory condition in the terminal device; and pushes the price to the consumer via the server (group/cloud computing), if the consumer makes a purchase, the server (group) /Cloud computing) to make purchases and payment actions, when the action is completed, the server (group / cloud computing) will push the message to the corresponding hotel provider.

With this system, the operator can complete the information related to the price reduction and sales room setting and the completion of the reservation through the terminal equipment, improve the convenience of completing the inventory clearing operation, and can also send the clear inventory with the Push Notification Service. Price to enable consumers to know relevant information and results.

Because each consumer has a different definition of low prices, the industry can reach the price cuts and does not show the reserve price at the first time to achieve higher revenue.

The invention further provides a method for selling goods at a reduced price, which is automatically reduced by the system through the network to the end of the sale or to the end of the time within a specified time, wherein the system is based on at least one reference material at a specified time point. Determine whether the price is reduced or the amount of the price reduction.

The adjustment or execution of the price reduction is carried out based on the reference materials mentioned, in order to increase the chance of selling at a price higher than the lowest limit price.

Preferably, the reference data system may include the number of times the product is viewed in the time interval or the average length of time of each browsing, and the reference materials may be used as a measurement basis for the degree of attention of the product, and thus may be used as a judgment for the price reduction range. .

Preferably, when it is judged that the number of consecutive times of the price reduction has reached a preset value, the system will directly perform the price reduction.

Preferably, the amount of the price reduction and a reference data acquisition method are further determined according to the number of times the product is viewed in the time interval or the average time of each browsing.

Preferably, the above reference materials can be integrated, and after the numerical calculation and the combination calculation, the threshold value is uniformly used to select the corresponding price reduction range, thereby achieving a nonlinear price reduction.

The invention further provides a sales platform for selling goods at a reduced price, which comprises a server, a seller input page and a product page.

a server that stores a plurality of items to be sold and sells via the network; a seller input page that is connected to the server for the seller to input or select a setting condition corresponding to the price reduction and corresponding reference materials a product page connected to the server for the consumer to view the product information and price, and to guide the consumer to complete the purchase operation; a reference data retrieval method, which is taken from each IP address on the product page Read The length of the dwell time is either the number of times the server calculates the number of times the product page is viewed or the number of times the server calculates that the product page is opened by the same IP address.

Preferably, the method further comprises an active notification means for actively issuing a notification to the email location set by the consumer having the tracking product or the mobile communication device after the price reduction of the commodity.

The present invention further provides a provider terminal device that performs signal transmission with a server via a network, and can be used to connect with the server signal, set a price reduction condition, set a reference data, and receive a transaction sent from the server. Message; after the transaction, directly modify the remaining amount of management internal inventory. In order to reduce the salesman's work, improve convenience.

The present invention further provides a consumer terminal device that performs signal transmission with a server via a network for browsing and tracking products, and when receiving a notification from the server to notify the set price of the product to be traced, Presenting tips and allowing consumers to connect directly to the page where they can be purchased.

The second figure is a schematic diagram of the linear automatic price reduction of the system of the present invention.

The third figure is a block diagram of an embodiment of the system of the present invention.

The fourth figure is a schematic diagram of nonlinear price reduction according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Please first show the first embodiment, which illustrates the first embodiment of the present invention. The room sales mode of the present example includes a clear inventory promotion time start step S1, a clear inventory promotion time, an end step S2, a quantity to be cleared, a step S3, a clear inventory price step S4, and a clear inventory minimum price. Step S5 and the data of S1-S5 are stepwise price reduction mode step S6 and a message is sent to the consumer step S7. In the first embodiment, the item "room rental" sold by the hotel industry is described, but not limited thereto.

Among them, hoteliers use automated step-down pricing methods to stimulate consumers to purchase their own inventory houses due to high inventory levels.

First, the operator enters the platform setting start time step S1, for example, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

After the setting start time step S1 is completed, the operator needs to set its stock sales time stop step S2, for example: two in the morning.

After the completion of step S1 and step S2, the input stock amount step S3 is performed. For example: Enter a number of 12 rooms.

After step S1, step S2, and step S3 are completed, it is necessary to input the original price of the supplier's inventory step S4, and this step can also be directly captured by the operator's reservation system, for example, the original selling price is 3,000 yuan.

The subsequent step is to enter the minimum acceptable price for the operator, step S5, for example, the minimum acceptable price is NT$1,000.

The server (group) will automatically calculate the stepped price drop step S6 after accepting the following operator input message.

It is calculated from step S6 that the operator wants to sell 12 rooms within ten hours, for example, the price per price is NT$200, and each time the next step, the server can send a message to the server (group/cloud computing). Consumer terminal device step S7. That is, as shown in the second figure, in addition, 16:00 is the start time set by the operator in step S1, and 3:00 is the stop time set by the operator in step S2, and the quantity required to clear the stock is input (step S3), $3650. For the original price of the stock in step S4, the $1466 is the lowest price set in step S5 (the reduction ratio can also be set), and the system calculates the step price reduction by the step S1-step S5 provided by the practitioner. Way to sell. The second figure is only a schematic diagram, and the price and time are not necessarily set to integers when set, and this is described first.

Step S6 is calculated as 10 hours, and the consumer has a satisfactory price to complete the consumer purchase step S8 on the platform when the message is sent by S7.

After step S8 is completed, step S9 of the transaction completion notification is sent to the specific operator.

Through the above steps, the industry no longer needs to manually change the inventory price, monitor its inventory to reach the goal of promoting consumer spending behavior at a low price, and approaching the 100% housing rate.

Moreover, in the foregoing method, the server (group/cloud computing) 10 may further set the first start time and the second stop time, and when the price reduction information is pushed to the consumer terminal device at the first calculation time, there is any consumer. When you agree to the price, you can spend it on the server (group) 10, only If the inventory quantity is greater than 0, the server (group) will automatically enter the second time and price and push message. If the consumer agrees to the second price, it can be consumed in the server (group/cloud computing) 10 when the server ( Group/Cloud Computing) The second time of calculation is due, the inventory is still greater than 0, and the third time and price will be entered; the server (group) will continue to calculate until the inventory is equal to 0 or the stop set by the arrival provider. Time or lowest price.

The consumer can transmit the message to the operator terminal device 20 and the consumer terminal device 30 for confirmation after the consumer action is completed, after the terminal device receives the price reduction notification. This push technology allows consumers to quickly get instant room rate information and reservation information.

According to the above manner and system, the present invention further provides an embodiment, which is an electronic computer program product for storing a program for sale, and when an electronic computer loads the program, the server (group/ Cloud computing) Network connection for sales and billing. The server device can be a single and multiple server (group/cloud computing), an entity and a virtual host or a cloud computer device. The electronic computer is the same as the terminal device, and can be a mobile communication device, a smart phone, or a lithography device. A computer or a computer can connect to the Internet for message transmission.

According to the above method and system, the present invention further provides an embodiment, which is an enterprise terminal device, which performs signal transmission via a network (group/cloud computing), and after installing the program, can be used to receive the The server (group/cloud computing) sends out a stepped price reduction message, and also installs the operator's internal room management system to manage the management of the internal room inventory. The electronic computer and the terminal device can be connected to the network for mobile communication for a mobile communication device, a smart phone, a lithographic computer or a computer.

Moreover, still another embodiment of the present invention is a method for selling inventory goods at a reduced price. It is automatically reduced by the system through the network to the time of sale or until the end of the time within a specified time. The system determines whether the price is reduced or the price is reduced according to at least one reference data at a specified time. Use the reference data to present the current status of the product, for example, the number of times viewed in the time interval or the average time of each browsing. When the number of browsing times is higher, it means that the higher the degree of attention, the price reduction That is, the amplitude can be reduced by a small amount or even the amplitude is zero. Of course, the amount of the price reduction can be determined by the seller, and the seller can specify a parameter, which is automatically calculated by the system. Similarly, if the average time of browsing is longer, it can be judged that the consumer is waiting, and the price reduction rate can be lowered by the minimum amount according to the setting. In addition, the reference material can also include the number of keyword usages on the website or in the search engine to help understand whether there are many people paying attention to the product. If all the data shows that there are many people concerned about this product, the price reduction and The time interval can be reduced according to the state setting value of the seller at that time, and if the number of people who fall into the attention of the data is small, the state setting value with less attention can be reduced. Through the reference data, the price reduction can be carried out not only according to the time, but also according to the degree of attention, forming the effect of the nonlinear price reduction as shown in the fourth figure, which cannot be achieved by the conventional technology. efficacy.

In addition, the reference materials described in this embodiment can be added to the sold quantity factor, the seasonal factor, the weather factor or the holiday factor. These factors can be added to the variables caused by the environment by setting the weight value. . For example, in the summer, water-cooling mats are sold. Because of the high demand, when calculating the price reduction, after the climate considerations, the price reduction will change from 1 yuan to 0.9 yuan. If it is in the winter, the price reduction can be changed from 1 yuan to 1.5 yuan. These variable factor values can be filled in by the seller at the initial setting or confirmed whether they are to be activated.

As can be seen from the above, the present embodiment can reflect the purpose of the product through the reference material. State, and according to the extent of the price cuts, to avoid the sellers can not understand the actual state of attention and significantly cut prices, reduce profits. Consumers will also be worried about being taken first by others, so they can complete the purchase directly within an acceptable range, which has the effect of stimulating consumption.

As in the previous embodiment, after the system performs the price reduction, the system pushes a reminder to the email address set by the product tracker or the handheld mobile device. The follower can know and decide whether to buy at the first time.

Furthermore, the reference material may also include determining the number of consecutive times that the price has not been lowered. When the number of times reaches the preset value, the system will directly perform the price reduction. For example, the reference data shows that the degree of attention is extremely high without the price reduction, but after two preset time points have not been lowered, and no goods are sold, the consumer is waiting for the price reduction, so When the number of unreduced drops reaches the preset value (set by the seller), even if the reference information is known to be very high, the price cut will be initiated to stimulate sales.

Further, the amount of the price reduction may be determined according to the number of times the product is viewed in the time interval or the average time of each browsing. For example, if the number of views within 100 times is reduced by 10 yuan, if it exceeds 100 times, it will be reduced by 7 yuan. In this way, the seller has the opportunity to obtain a higher selling price, and can also use the logic to directly set the calculation number or the relationship between the time and the amount of the decline. In particular, the technology can be combined with the Universal Unique Identifier/Uniform Identification Number (UUID/UID) technology. Each device has a unique identification code, and the identification codes of the devices are different. Therefore, the identification code is transmitted through the identification code. Reading, it is possible to accurately confirm the number of devices through which the reference materials are sourced, and use it as one of the reference materials.

Or, by using the threshold value calculation setting method, each reference material is set to a corresponding value, for example, the page is 1 point for each IP position, and each universal unique identification code is used. UUID/UID is 1 point, 2nd page for opening the second layer, 2 points for every 10 minutes, 5 points for each sale, 15 points for every 15 minutes, 15 points for the total. At a preset value (for example, 20 points), the price reduction will be delayed. It can be combined with another higher preset value (for example, 35 points). When the total score is higher than the higher preset value, in addition to delaying the price reduction, you can also actively send an advertisement message to provide its hot sale information. Distribute, increasing the likelihood of its full sale. Or, when the score plummets, the price cuts are also increased. In this way, the price reduction model is no longer limited to the time factor alone, but can be based on other reference materials to generate a floating price reduction model, so that the profit from sales can produce a maximum value.

Through the setting of this embodiment, the user does not need to keep an eye on the data to decide whether to reduce the price, but the system judges the listed factors by itself, and completes the price adjustment adjustment, which has the effect of stimulating consumer consumption, thereby enabling the sales of goods. It is smoother.

According to the method of the above embodiment, an embodiment of the sales platform is further provided. The sales platform of the reduced-price sales inventory product includes a server (group/cloud), a seller input page, a product page and a reference data capture. means.

The server (group/cloud) stores a plurality of items to be sold, and sells them via the Internet connection. The seller input page is connected to the server (group/cloud) for the seller to input or select the setting conditions corresponding to the price reduction and the corresponding reference materials. The product page is connected to the server for the consumer to view the product information and price, and to guide the consumer to complete the purchase. The reference data retrieval means is to take the length of the reading time from the IP address on the product page or calculate the number of times the product page is viewed by the server or calculate the number in the server (group/cloud). The number of times the product page was opened by the same IP address. Through the sales platform, the foregoing method can be completed, so that the seller can not directly feel the shortcomings of the market state without restricting the network, but can formulate the best according to the market. The amount of sales.

As described above, an active notification means may be further included, which is to actively notify the e-mail location or the mobile communication device set by the consumer who has the merchandise after the price reduction of the commodity.

Moreover, after the reference data acquisition means obtains the data, the server may further convert the data into a value according to the setting, that is, as described above: the page is 1 point for each IP location, and each universal The unique identification code UUID/UID is 1 point, the second layer is 2 points, every 10 minutes is 2 points, each sale is 5 points, and every 15 minutes is 15 points. After calculating the total, it is judged that the level reached (differentiated by the threshold value), and then the price reduction operation is performed corresponding to the level of the hierarchy. The above scores are not restrictive and may be set by the seller (the operator) and determine the items to be added to the calculation.

Further, an embodiment of a provider terminal device is provided. The operator terminal device can perform signal transmission via the network and the server (group/cloud device), set the price reduction condition, set the reference data and receive the transaction message sent by the server through the terminal device of the enterprise; directly modify the management after the transaction The remaining quantity of stocks recorded in the terminal equipment of the operator improves the overall convenience.

Similarly, a consumer terminal device is provided, which transmits signals via a network to a server (group/cloud device) for browsing and tracking products, and when sent to the server (group/cloud device) When the price of the item being set is notified, the prompt information will be presented and the consumer can directly connect to the page where the purchase can be made. With the notification of the instant message, the consumer can know the price reduction amount at the first time, and if the amount is expected to be acceptable, the purchase can be made immediately.

In addition, it is emphasized again that, in addition to the hotel room or the like mentioned in the embodiment, the article of the present invention is also a commodity having the same meaning, and Derivables include items that can be rented, such as rentals of vehicles (such as steam locomotives), clothing rentals, mobile phone rentals, camera rentals, lens rentals, equipment rentals, and the like that can be used as rental items.

In summary, it is only an embodiment of the present invention, which can be derived from a wide range of applications, and the multiplication of production efficiency can also take into account the production cost, and has industrial utilization value. Any circumstance that is a simple conversion or equivalent conversion with the technical idea of the present invention, such as a hotel, a concert, a ticket, a ticket, etc., is within the scope of the patent of the present invention.
