Here, the provision of a product or the like means that the product or the like is first created as a product or the like, and the product or the like is provided to another person (a customer U in the example of FIG. 1 ). Manufacturers, producers, producers, and service providers are examples of providers T, such as products.

The product distributor (J) is a person in charge of transferring the product from the product provider (T) to the customer (C) by intermediary between the product provider (T) and the customer (U) described below. . Wholesale/retail, EC is an example of a distributor (J) such as a product.

The customer U is a person who is willing to purchase a product or the like provided by a product or the like supplier T and distributed by a product or the like distributor J. Even if a person has no experience in purchasing a product or the like, a person who is a target of the product or the like supplier T or the product or the like distributor J, and who has potential to purchase the product, etc., is included in the customer U.

Conventionally, products and the like provided by a supplier T of products and the like are sold to a customer U from a distributor J of a small number of products and the like within a limited range.

For this reason, it is necessary for the supplier T of products and the like to pass on the cost of making the customer U aware of the products and the like to the distributor J of the products and the like. In other words, conventionally, the customer U was limited to a person who is aware of the product or the like.

In addition, as a distributor J of products, etc., it was necessary to be a person who satisfies requirements such as being inexpensive, capable of prompt delivery or delivery, securing a sales floor, and ranking high in search.

In this way, in the past, only a sales channel was obtained from a distributor J, such as a product within a limited range, to a distributor J, such as a product known to the product, etc.

By using the social gift function described later, not only wholesale and retail products, but also DX of the company can be built for free or with a low budget.

Products can be registered even when future sales such as reservation sales and order sales are expected.

Limited sales channels that do not undermine the company's brand, and matching with companies with high affinity can be expected. That is, by employing automatic matching (condition setting) utilizing the AU function, it is possible to match an appropriate product distributor J with the product provider T.

You can set or change the desired selling price (wholesale price) of products, etc. according to the sales channel.

By reading the goods or a specific QR code (registered trademark) into the terminal of the customer U at the store, it is possible to develop a business such as being able to purchase goods (gifts).

Customers (C) can be attracted to the store through location information linkage, push notification, and reminder functions.

It is possible to send and receive products and the like to a person (customer U) who has paid in advance for products and the like sold at the store without passing through the checkout counter.

In addition, among the distributors (J) and customers (U), the person bearing the cost (for example, among the distributors (J), companies (sales, general affairs), etc., or among the customers (U), The merits of the giver (G)', etc.) are, for example, as follows.

That is, as a gift to be described later, it is quickly delivered to the customer U (if there is mail or SNS, it is delivered separately from the arrival of goods).

If there is a member function of this service and is registered as a member, the task of giving a gift, which will be described later, is also reduced.

The satisfaction of the customer U can be increased by customizing a site for giving a gift, which will be described later.

If you have the necessary templates, your work will be simplified.

Further, in addition to products, etc., it is also possible to register own products (ie, products, etc. distributor J may also be product, etc. provider T itself).

The person who pays the cost can collect and provide products and the like by themselves.

In addition, it becomes possible to sell a wide variety of commercial materials without having a stock, and it is possible to selectively provide them.

In other words, by employing automatic matching (condition setting) utilizing the AU function, it is possible to match an appropriate product or other supplier T to the product or the like distributor J.

The means of giving and receiving the "right to receive a gift (gift code)" in the form of a card or e-mail in social gifts described later can be used as a company service.

For social gifts described later, such as URL validation/invalidation, information collection, information transmission, lottery, revenue share, etc., when receiving gifts (products, etc.) under the “right to receive a gift (gift code)” You can use the various functions provided.

By registering the company's products and services as goods, etc., it can also become a provider (T) of goods and the like.

In other words, by acquiring new sales channels such as sales channels S1 to S7, food manufacturer A can acquire newly rich customers Ub.

Hereinafter, each of these new sales channels S1 to S7 will be individually explained in that order.

Market S1 is a market established by installing a social gift function on company A's website, a food manufacturer.

Here, the social gift refers to what is realized by the service flow of FIGS. 8 and 9 .

8 is a diagram illustrating an example of a service flow of a gift giver with respect to a social gift.

In a social gift, a person who gives a gift transfers the right to receive a gift, rather than directly giving or receiving a specific product or the like as a gift to a person receiving the gift.

A gift means that a person who has the right to receive a gift can receive (possession of ownership) by indicating that the person who has the right to receive the gift (M) has that right (for example, by entering the gift code described later) products, etc.

It should be noted here that the "gift giver (G)" referred to in the present embodiment is not a person who directly gives a gift product or the like to the gift recipient (M), but the right to receive the gift. is that the person who gives

In other words, the right to receive a gift is originally generated by the service provider of this service, and in this service, a customer (U) or a distributor (J) such as a product becomes a 'gift giver (G)', and this gift The right to receive is transferred from the service provider (regardless of paid or free). Then, the 'gift giver (G)' transfers the right to receive the gift to the person who wants it.

That is, the person who finally has the right to receive the gift becomes the gift recipient M (the ultimate customer U) and can receive a desired product or the like as a gift.

That is, when the gift giver (G) is transferred the right to receive a gift from the service provider of this service, the right is transferred to the gift receiver (M).

Here, in order to indicate that you have the right to receive this gift, the service provider of this service issues a predetermined code (for example, a combination of alphabets and numbers, hereinafter referred to as a 'gift code').

That is, the 'gift code' is given to the gift recipient (M) from the gift giver (G). That is, the person receiving the gift (M) can receive a desired product or the like as a gift by presenting this 'gift code' to the service provider of this service.

Here, the terminal 102 operated by the person giving the gift (G) is hereinafter referred to as the 'giver terminal 102'. In this service, since the gift giver (G) is different depending on the market, the giver terminal 102 is a product, etc. provider terminal 2, a product, etc. distributor terminal 3, or a customer (U ) becomes a terminal not shown.

Specifically, for example, first of all, the giver terminal 102 is provided to select a gift course from the web sites managed by the platform server 1 by the operation of the gift giver G. accesses the web site of (hereinafter referred to as 'selection site for givers').

In this way, each page of the giver selection site is displayed on the giver terminal 102, for example, a page for selecting a predetermined type from among a plurality of types of gift courses set by the provider of this service.

The gift giver G operates the giver terminal 102 to select an arbitrary type from among a plurality of displayed gift courses, and purchases a gift course of that type.

Here, the gift course is a product list composed of one or more products that can be given with a predetermined budget.

In the examples of FIGS. 6 and 7 , the product list includes commodities of food manufacturer A (an example of a supplier T).

In addition, 'purchasing a gift course' as used herein refers to purchasing the right to receive a gift by selecting an arbitrary product among products included in the gift course as a right to receive a gift.

Here, when the gift giver G purchases a gift course of a predetermined type, the service provider of this service (platform server 1) issues a gift code linked to the predetermined type of purchased gift course.

That is, the manager of the dedicated sales site becomes the distributor J of products and the like.

Access to this dedicated sales site is made possible by, for example, issuing a QR code (QR sticker) in which the URL of the dedicated sales site is inserted, and reading the QR code.

Products sold by dedicated sales sites (or gift codes or gift cards for acquiring them) are purchased, for example, by fans of the idol at an idol photo session. That is, the fan becomes the customer (U). In addition, when a dedicated sales site has a social gift function, gift codes or gift cards for goods or the like may be given as a gift from fans to other people. In this case, the recipient of the gift (ie, the person receiving the gift M) also becomes the customer U.

In this way, it is possible to establish a new sales channel through the dedicated sales site.

That is, in this new market, as described above, the manager of the exclusive sales site is the distributor J of products and the like, and if the dedicated sales site has a social gift function, he is also the gift giver G.

People who purchase goods (or gift cards or gift codes) through this dedicated sales site, that is, fans and gift recipients (gift recipients M) are all customers Ub.

That is, in this new market, the customer Ub can easily purchase products introduced by idols and the like from the dedicated sales site by operating his/her own terminal (smartphone).

In this way, the product or the like of the supplier T of the product or the like can receive a fan or gift recipient (gift recipient M) as a new customer Ub.

At this time, sales from the dedicated sales site are contracted in the form of profit sharing with entertainment (idol groups or their offices) and local organizations (concert venues or boats). Then, a QR code (QR sticker) is attached to, for example, an instant photo taken by an idol and provided to a fan or the like. By reading this QR code, fans can purchase gift codes and gift cards such as goods. In other words, part of the remuneration upon purchase in this way is paid to entertainment (idol groups and their offices) and local organizations (concert venues and boats).

It also includes, for example, a link from a QR code to a fan club site of the entertainment (eg, a website operated by the idol's fan club). As a result, a part of the reward for gift codes or gift cards, such as products purchased by the purchaser (customer U) through the fan club site, is paid (distributed).

In this way, since rewards are distributed to each person in the form of profit distribution, it is possible to further establish a sales channel by jointly distributing gift codes and gift cards for products and the like.

In addition, the sales channels for products and the like by association with entertainment or local organizations are not limited to dedicated sales sites, and it is naturally possible to arbitrarily adopt the aforementioned sales channels S1 to S7 in FIGS. 6 and 7 .

This makes it possible to transfer products introduced by entertainment or local organizations in various forms such as corporate novelties, shareholder preferential treatment, point exchange, and welfare benefits gifts. In addition, this can promote not only receipt of goods, etc., but also provision of information on fan clubs and the like, and incentives to other information sites and the like.
