FIG. 13 shows an example of applying this service in cooperation with entertainment (for example, an idol photo session) and a local organization.

As a premise, the products, etc. provided by the product, etc. provider T shall be introduced in entertainment (for example, idol photo session) and local organizations.
Here, the product or the like provider T is assumed to be, for example, a manufacturer, a production area, or the like.
That is, for example, when the product or the like provider T cooperates with the entertainment, the products or the like provided by the product or the like provider are introduced by the entertainment (for example, an idol photo session) or a local organization.
As described above, the product or the like provider T registers the product or the like information of the product or the like in the platform server 1.
The platform server 1 presents product information on a dedicated sales site for registered products.
The dedicated sales site may be a site that sells a gift code or a gift card with a product or the like as a gift using a social gift, or an EC site that directly sells the product or the like. Further, the dedicated sales site may be managed by entertainment (for example, an idol's office), may be managed by the service provider of this service, or may be managed by another person. That is, the administrator 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 embedded and reading the QR code.
Products sold by the dedicated sales site (or gift codes and gift cards for acquiring them) are purchased by fans of the idol, for example, at an idol photo session. That is, the fan becomes the customer U. In addition, when the dedicated sales site has a social gift function, gift codes and gift cards such as products may be given as gifts by fans to others. In this case, the recipient of the gift (that is, the person M who receives the gift) is also the customer U.

In this way, it becomes possible to establish a new sales channel through a dedicated sales site.
That is, in this new sales channel, as described above, the manager of the dedicated sales site is the distributor J of products, etc., and also the person G who gives a gift when the dedicated sales site has a social gift function. ..
Those who purchase products (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 sales channel, the customer Ub can easily purchase the product introduced by the idol or the like from the dedicated sales site by operating his / her own terminal (smartphone).
In this way, the product or the like of the product or the like provider T can take in the fan or the gift recipient (the person M who receives the gift) as a new customer Ub.

At this time, the sales of the dedicated sales site will be contracted in the form of revenue sharing with entertainment (idol group and its office) and local groups (concert venue and ship). Then, the QR code (QR sticker) is attached to, for example, an instant photograph in the shooting of an idol and is provided to a fan or the like. By reading this QR code, fans can purchase gift codes such as products and gift cards. That is, a part of the reward for such purchase is paid to entertainment (idol group and its office) and local groups (concert venue and ship).
It also includes, for example, a link from the QR code to the entertainment fan club site (eg, a website operated by an idol fan club). As a result, a part of the gift code or gift card reward of the product or the like purchased by the purchaser (customer U) through the fan club site is paid (distributed).
In this way, rewards are distributed to each person in the form of revenue sharing, so it is possible to further establish sales channels by jointly distributing gift codes and gift cards for products and the like.
