Description

  The present invention relates to a sample product providing system that enables a sample product to be provided to a user, and more particularly, even if a manufacturer does not provide a sample product, the sample product can be easily and quickly provided to the user. The present invention relates to a sample product providing system that can be provided.

  In general, for products that are used on the skin, such as cosmetics, you can check the color of the product at a store that sells it face-to-face, or check whether the product fits your skin. In many cases, the purchase of goods is decided by doing. In particular, if you need to make sure that the product fits your skin after a period of use, get a free sample from the manufacturer, use the sample at home for a period, There are ways to decide whether or not to purchase a product.

  However, when such a product is purchased at a mass retailer that is not face-to-face sales, mail order, the Internet, or the like, it is not possible to actually see the product or confirm whether it fits the skin. In such a case, as one of the methods for selecting what suits your skin from a huge number of products, you can apply for and obtain a sample product provided by the manufacturer in a separate questionnaire. In many cases, the purchase of a product is determined by checking the color by looking at the product or by checking whether it actually matches the skin (Patent Document 1, etc.).

  However, there are the following problems when purchasing a product by a method that is not face-to-face sales.

  In other words, even if the user wants a sample product, the manufacturer does not provide a free sample product, or even if it is provided, the target area is limited, the target audience is limited, etc. It is not always available to all users due to limited conditions such as needing to answer. In such a case, by purchasing a large number of applicants for each product as a result of joint purchase or the like, there is a possibility that the product can be purchased at a lower price than the unit price when one product is purchased independently. However, there are cases where the desired product is not subject to joint purchase, and there is a problem that it takes time until a certain number of people gather.

  Or, you have to take the method of purchasing and testing the genuine product yourself, but if the result does not fit your skin, you can either discard the product or give it to someone else The method must be taken, and most of the unused parts are wasted.

  In addition, when receiving sample products from the manufacturer in this way, it may not be possible to obtain the sample products quickly. Especially, in the case of foreign products, it may not be possible to obtain the sample products, It may take a long time.

  Therefore, the present invention pays attention to the above problems, and even when the sample product cannot be provided from the manufacturer, the user can easily and quickly obtain the sample product via the Internet. It is an object of the present invention to provide a sample product providing system that can facilitate the purchase decision of products.

Accordingly, in order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a user registration receiving means for receiving registration of personal information and settlement information from a user in a sample product providing system for providing a sample product of the product to a user who wishes to purchase the product. And, when receiving a request for the provision of a sample product from a user, information for subdividing a regular product corresponding to the sample product and sending it to the user on condition that the consideration has been paid by the user A distribution output means that outputs the output of each sample product from each user, and the ratio of users who have made a genuine product purchase from a test on each sample product. It is intended to be provided as data.

  Further, in such an invention, a division size calculating means for calculating a division size for subdividing the product is provided.

  With this configuration, it is possible to easily determine how to divide regular products, and to quickly determine the division sizes of various types of products.

  Further, the usage amount per day and the number of determination days for confirming the effect can be stored corresponding to the product category of the sample product, and the division size can be calculated from the product capacity with reference to the product category.

  With this configuration, the optimum division size can be calculated simply by inputting the product category and the product capacity, so that the subdividing operation of the seller can be simplified.

  Further, a fractional value calculation means for calculating the value for the sample product is provided, and the calculated fractional value is displayed.

  In this way, for example, it is possible to know the amount of sample product that can be provided within the range of the membership fee, and to determine in what range the user can receive the sample product. It becomes like this.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the sample product providing system 1 in this embodiment includes a user-side terminal 2 provided on the user side, a server 3 provided on the seller side, and the like. Each is connected via a communication network such as the Internet. Characteristically, when the user wants to provide a sample product, the product will be subdivided by calculating the optimal division size for the product purchased by the seller, and the sample within the range according to the user's monthly fee The product can be provided to users. Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail. In this embodiment, a product used for the skin such as “cosmetics” will be described as an example, but besides that, soap, shampoo, supplement, food, etc. can be subdivided. It can be applied to all products.

  First, the user side terminal 2 provided on the user side is configured by an information processing terminal such as a personal computer, a tablet, or a smartphone, and includes an input device 21 such as a keyboard and a touch panel, a display device 22 such as a display, A function realization unit as shown in FIG. 2 is realized by including a storage unit 23 such as a ROM and a RAM, an information processing unit 24 such as a CPU, a communication device 25, and the like.

  First, as shown in FIG. 3A, the registration information input means 41 inputs a member type, payment information, etc. in addition to personal information such as a user's name, age, gender, address, telephone number, and mail address. Configured to be able to. Of these pieces of information, the member type shown on the right side of the screen indicates the type of benefit such as the provision limit of the sample product and the discount rate of the product. For example, in type 1, the amount of sample product that can be provided is For 1,000 points / month, product discount rate 5%, and category 2, the amount of sample products that can be provided is classified as 2,000 points / month, product discount rate 8%, and so on. The member type can be selected by a pull tab or the like, and is selected according to the use frequency of the user. Further, the settlement information is configured to be able to pay a monthly fee set according to the member type, and includes a credit card number and a security code. Such personal information and settlement information are input via the input device 21 and then transmitted to the server 3 via the communication device 25.

  Further, the user terminal 2 is provided with a desired input means 42 for selecting a desired sample product, and can input an evaluation or a review when the sample product or product is used ( FIG. 3 (b)).

  On the other hand, the server 3 provided under the management of the seller side is provided so as to be accessible from a plurality of user-side terminals 2, and as shown in FIG. 1, an input device 31 such as a keyboard and a touch panel, a display, etc. 2, a storage unit 33 such as a ROM or a RAM, an information processing unit 34 such as a CPU, a communication device 35, and the like are configured so as to realize the function realizing means as shown in FIG. 2.

  First, as shown in FIG. 2, the user registration accepting unit 51 stores and registers personal information, settlement information, and the like input via the registration information input unit 41 of the user side terminal 2. When storing this information, in addition to the personal information and payment information sent from the terminal 2 on the user side, confirmation of monthly fee payment, sample product availability, sample product and product evaluation rank, review comments, etc. Is added. The record for confirming the payment of the monthly membership fee stores information such as whether or not the deduction for the monthly membership fee has been deducted, and the record of the sample product available amount provides a sample that can be provided monthly. Stores the amount of goods or value points that are reduced with the provision of sample goods. The evaluation rank and review are input from the user terminal 2 and stored in the storage unit 33 as the evaluation rank and review of the sample product or product.

  On the other hand, the product information input means 52 of the server 3 accepts input of information related to the product corresponding to the sample product from the seller. As shown in FIG. 4, the product image, product category, content volume, manufacturer's suggested retail price, etc. are entered as these information. The popularity coefficient is entered. Of these, the product category is classified according to the difference in the parts used (for hand skin, lips, etc.) and application (cosmetics, soaps, hair dyes, etc.). This is used for the daily usage amount and the determination day coefficient. In addition, the discount coefficient at the time of actual sale is set to “0.9” or the like, for example, when it is sold at 10% OFF for a regular product. In addition, the popularity coefficient in the site represents the degree of popularity with respect to products with a large number of accesses, and the proportion of products with higher popularity is set closer to 100%. Of the information input in this way, the product image, the manufacturer's suggested retail price, and the like can be displayed on the user terminal 2 via the server 3 in the same manner as a normal Internet shopping site. .

  In such a configuration, characteristically, in this embodiment, it is possible to calculate information such as a division size and a partial value of a regular product for providing a sample product to a user.

  The division size calculation means 53 can calculate how it is appropriate to divide a regular product and provide it to a user as a sample product, and is input by the previous product information input means 52. The division size of the optimum value can be calculated based on the product category and content capacity. When calculating this division size, first, as shown in FIG. 4, the average used capacity used for one day for each product category is stored in the storage unit 33 and used for each product category. The number of days for which the effect can be confirmed (decision day coefficient) is stored. Then, referring to the product category, the daily usage amount and the determination day coefficient belonging to the product category are read from the storage unit 33, and the product size of the product is divided into “product capacity of one product / (daily usage capacity × determination). Day coefficient) ”. At this time, for example, if the product volume of “Skincare Cream” is 100 ml, the daily usage volume is 5.0 ml, and the judgment days factor is 4, “100 ÷ (5 × 4) = 5” is calculated as the division size. When the product volume of “lip balm” is 20 ml, the daily usage volume is 1.0 ml, and the judgment day coefficient is 2, “20 ÷ (1 × 2) = 10” is calculated. These values such as “5” and “10” indicate how many times the product is divided, and are defined here as “division sizes”. The regular product is divided into 1/5, 1/10, etc., and the product volume 100ml can be divided every 20ml, and 20ml can be divided every 2.0ml. When outputting the value calculated by the divided size calculating means 53, the divided size may be displayed as it is on the screen of the computer on the administrator side, or the divided sample capacity is also displayed. Also good.

  Further, the server 3 is provided with a fractional value calculation means 54 for calculating the value of the sample product provided in this way, and the seller provides the sample product to the user using the fractional value calculation means 54. Calculate the value needed to do that. Normally, when providing sample products, the sample products provided free of charge from the manufacturer are provided to the user. However, as in this embodiment, the genuine products are purchased and subdivided by the seller. , Inevitably costs money to purchase products. For this reason, the value when the sample product is provided in small portions is calculated and provided to the user so that the sample product can be provided within the range of the monthly fee. When calculating the partial value, the “manufacturer's suggested retail price” and “discount coefficient at the time of actual sale” input by the previous product information input unit 52 and the division calculated by the previous division size calculation unit 53 The sub-value is calculated based on the size, for example, “manufacturer's suggested retail price × actual discount coefficient / divided size”. At this time, for example, if the manufacturer's suggested retail price of “Skincare Cream” is 4,000 yen, the discount coefficient at the time of actual sale is 0.9, and the division size is 5, “4,000 × 0.9 ÷ 5 = 720” is calculated. Also, if the manufacturer's suggested retail price of “Lip cream” is 1,800 yen, the discount factor at the time of actual sale is 1.0, and the division size is 10, “1,800 × 1.0 ÷ 10 = 180” is calculated. These values represent the cost with respect to the internal volume of the sample product, and the fractional value is calculated in consideration of various factors, packaging charges, postage charges, and the like. As one of the various factors considered at this time, the “popularity factor” that represents the popularity of the product within the site can be used. For example, the popularity factor of “skin care cream” is set to 80%. In this case, the fractional value may be calculated as “4000 × 0.9 × 0.8 ÷ 5 = 576”.

  Then, the request accepting means 55 accepts provision of a sample product via the user-side terminal 2 or accepts purchase of a regular product after testing the sample product. When accepting the sample product, the selection of the sample product is accepted for the product displayed on the screen. At this time, on the condition that the monthly fee is paid from the payment information of the user, the sample product offerable amount for the user is read. For example, when the sample product offerable amount is “2,000 (points)”, It is determined whether or not the sample value “720 (or 576)” of the skin care cream is within the range. When the sample product is within the range of the sample product provision amount within the month, information for providing the sample product is output to the delivery output means 56.

  The delivery output means 56 outputs information for providing the sample product to the user. For example, in addition to the address, name, and other delivery destinations, the remaining sample product available amount in the month, etc. can be printed on a slip or the like. Print and output. At the same time, the division size for subdividing the regular product is read out to the seller, and this is displayed on the screen so that the subdivision work can be performed. The sample products divided in this way are sent to the user for use.

  Next, a series of flows of the sample product providing system 1 configured as described above will be described with reference to a flowchart of user and seller work processes and processes performed by the user terminal 2 and the server 3.

  First, the user inputs personal information and payment information from the user side terminal 2 (step M1 in FIG. 5 and step S1 in FIG. 6), transmits this to the server 3, stores it in the storage unit 33 of the server, and registers it. (Step T1).

  On the other hand, the seller side purchases a regular product (step M2 in FIG. 5), and as product information of a product that can be sold, product image, product category, product capacity, manufacturer's suggested retail price, discount at the time of actual sale Coefficients, site popularity coefficients, and the like are registered (step M3) and stored in advance in the storage unit 33 (step T2 in FIG. 6).

  At the same time, on the server 3 side, for each product, the division size and subdivision of the sample product are calculated based on the product category, product capacity, manufacturer's suggested retail price, discount coefficient at the time of actual sale, site popularity coefficient, etc. A value or the like is calculated (steps T3 and T4). When calculating the division size, the product category is used to read the daily usage amount and the judgment day coefficient from the storage unit 33, and "product capacity of one product / (daily usage capacity x judgment day coefficient)" calculate. Also, when calculating the fractional value, use this division size, the previous product capacity, the manufacturer's suggested retail price, the discount coefficient at the time of actual sale, the popularity coefficient within the site, etc. The fractional value is calculated from the discount coefficient (× site popularity coefficient) ÷ division size ”.

  When the user transmits a request for a sample product (step M4 in FIG. 5) via the user terminal 2 (step S2), the server 3 determines whether the monthly fee for the user is paid ( In step T5), on the condition that the monthly fee is paid, it is determined whether the sample product can be provided within the range of the sample product available amount of the user (step T6). In this determination, it is determined whether or not a negative value is obtained by subtracting the fractional value of the sample product from the sample product available amount provided within the month. If not, the split size for that product is determined. Is read and displayed, and information such as the user's address and name is output (step T7).

Then, based on the division size output in this way, the regular product is subdivided to the seller (step M5 in FIG. 5), and the sample product can be sent to the output destination (step). M6) .

Na us, the present invention can be practiced in various forms without being limited to the above embodiment.

  For example, in the above embodiment, when subdividing the regular product, the division size is calculated with reference to the product category. At this time, when a large number of containers dedicated to the prescribed sample product are prepared The type of the container may be indicated. In this case, after the division size is calculated, the product volume is divided by the division size to calculate the sample product volume, and which sample product container is optimal may be output.

  In the above embodiment, the fractional value is calculated by the fractional value calculation means 54, and the sample product can be provided within the range of points that are the sample product provisionable amount corresponding to the user's monthly fee. Instead of subtracting points, the number of sample products may be counted.

  Further, in the above embodiment, only the provision of the sample product has been described. However, when the genuine product is purchased after the test of the sample product, the percentage of users who have purchased the regular product from the provision of the sample product on the server side. May be extracted, and when purchasing a regular product for a sample product, the ratio may be output so that the manufacturer can place an order for the regular product. In this way, since goods can be ordered collectively, it is possible to ship regular products to the user immediately and to save shipping fees from the manufacturer.

  Further, from the data stored in the storage unit 33, the distribution of application requests for individual sample products from all users, and the proportion of users who have purchased each sample product from testing to genuine purchase, are extracted for each manufacturer. It can also be provided as market trend data.
