Description

Business model for exchanging used books through internet and warehouse}

 This business model is a way that consumers who read books using the Internet can continuously and richly read the books they want at a very low cost. In other words, all existing consumers will receive the books they already have at the distribution center of the business owner. The business owner will be able to obtain the exchange price of the books in consideration of the publication year and quality based on the list price of the books. After deciding and paying the corresponding points, the member selects the desired books stored in the warehouse, exchanges them using the points corresponding to the exchange value, pays a certain fee, and then delivers them collectively. By doing this, consumers can get the books they want by paying only exchange fees without having to buy other books at high cost.

 A book is a type of knowledge media printed on paper that is inherently a medium that can be read repeatedly by one after another. For this reason, a large number of used bookstore businesses for the sale of used books are popular. In addition, after the spread of the Internet, used books trading business through the Internet has been active, and recently, direct trading sites and exchange sites through the Internet are also being introduced.

 This business model is used as an exchange method of used books that can overcome the disadvantages of the existing used book trading method and the internet direct trading method and dramatically increase the liquidity of used books. This is done by first putting them in a distribution center and then exchanging other books in the warehouse. This overcomes the limitations of existing used book sales and direct trading methods, and enables consumers to exchange all the books they want with one-time delivery and low fees without any accident or delay. It can be reduced, and socially, there is an advantage that can dramatically increase the re-distribution rate of used books.

 Compared with this business model, we first look at the problems of the existing used book trading method, which means that the used book seller pays a certain amount of money from the consumer who owns the used book and then profits it and sells it back to other consumers. The problem of this method is that the profits of the used book dealers must be guaranteed, so that it is a cheaper way to buy from the consumer and the method of reselling the price becomes less profitable to the consumer. As a result, consumers who hold books are often discarded rather than sold as used books, and consumers who buy books are not easy to find the used books they want, and do not feel that they are inexpensive. In the case of the distribution, the burden of courier costs is high and the bulk delivery is not possible. Therefore, there are many cases of buying new books, so the rate of re-distribution is not so high compared to the amount of used books.

There is also a direct selling site for used books over the Internet (e.g. bookkoa.com), in which case the owner or used book publisher registers their book on the site and purchases the book directly from other members. In this case, the problem in this case is that it must be delivered directly from a number of members or used book dealers can not be collectively delivered and the courier costs will be burdened several times, and there is a problem that the shipping accidents occur frequently because it is delivered at the responsibility of each member.

In addition, there is an internet site (booksfree.co.kr) that exchanges books, similar to this business model, in which members who own books register their books for exchange and exchange them. It is a way to deliver members to each other without intervention, so when multiple books are exchanged, there is a problem that a delivery accident does not occur in the same way as a direct dealing site method.

On the other hand, this business model allows members to register their books on the Internet site and load them into the distribution center operated by the business entity. The business entity is based on the list price of the books registered by the member. By objectively evaluating the publication year and quality, the exchange price is determined and given to the member as a point, and the member can use the points to deduct other books by the exchange price. The business entity will charge a certain fee when exchanging books. In this way, the member can receive a batch of books even if there are several books he wants, since they are already in stock in the distribution center of the business entity. And the delivery time is short, there is an advantage that can almost eliminate the accident.

 As such, this business model overcomes the disadvantage that the existing second-hand book trading method is not profitable because consumers have less profits, and anyone can exchange their books with other books at a small fee. In this regard, it is possible to drastically reduce the cost of purchasing a book, which is very profitable for consumers, and it is a business model that can increase social benefits by greatly increasing the re-distribution rate of used books.

 1. The task of solving the problems of the old used books sale site.

 2. Tasks to solve problems of existing used book direct trading sites or exchange sites.

 1. The problem of the existing used book sale site is that there are hundreds of sites, and there is a lot of competition among each other, and the books that are obtained from the customer's point of view are not gathered in one place but distributed to many companies. Carrying out the delivery is also inconvenient because it needs to be received several times separately, not only inconvenient shipping costs but also high shipping accident rate, and the price of purchasing used books is usually set at about 40% to 50% of the regular price. In this batch exchange business, the time and cost of purchasing a book can be saved by receiving all the books of the members in one batch at the exchange logistics center operated by the business and receiving the collectively exchanged books at once. Of course, shipping costs can be reduced and shipping accident rates can be significantly reduced.

 2. The biggest problem of the existing used book direct trading site or exchange site is that the business entity does not intervene directly, but also serves as an intermediary. It is very inconvenient, and the shipping cost and the accident rate of delivery are high, so the ratio of the used book transactions is insignificant. This problem can also be completely solved by this batch exchange business method in which the business entity is firmly responsible for and manages the transaction process.

Eventually, through the bulk exchange method of used books using this business model, the Internet and the distribution center, it is possible to exchange books easily at a very low cost and effort. You will be able to exchange over 30 used books for the cost of purchasing them.

 1. First, the business entity establishes a distribution center for the exchange of used books and establishes an internet site to mediate the exchange.

 2. Members who join through the Internet register their used books on the Internet, apply for goods receipt, and send them to the distribution center by courier.

 3. The business entity shall determine the exchange price by comprehensively and objectively evaluating the publication year and quality based on the selling price based on the used book price, and shall pay the points through the Internet to the member wearing the corresponding exchange price. Received used books are converted into a state where the exchange price is publicly available on the Internet, where other members can search for it and release it.

 4. A member wearing a used book will search the books received by other members using the exchange points paid on the Internet, pay the corresponding exchange price, and apply for release, and the business entity will collect and deliver the applied books. In this case, a certain exchange fee shall be paid to the business entity for the book exchanged.
