Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a point card, a means for displaying explanations of usage rules, a store, a point service provision system, a point service provision method, and a point service program in which shopping proof marker locations (such as boxes, squares, columns, frames, and indicators indicating locations (pictures, patterns, symbols, colors, etc.)) are arranged or aligned in a matrix of two columns by two columns or more, a designated shopping date is displayed on all or some of the shopping proof marker locations, and when shopping is done on the designated shopping date, a shopping proof marker (such as a seal (including a stamp), a sticker, an electronic proof seal, etc.) is attached to the shopping proof marker location where the date of the designated shopping date is displayed, and a complete row, column, or diagonal row of shopping proof marker locations is completed, which is considered to be one bingo, and the points (such as the number of points) to be awarded are determined based on the number of bingos completed (the number of bingos completed). [Background technology]

[0002] The following point card technologies have been known in the past. [Invention of Patent Document 1] A first card shopping certification marking area group and a second card shopping certification marking area group are provided, each consisting of nine shopping certification marking areas (some areas have already been stamped) arranged in a matrix of three columns and three columns, on which confirmation marks such as stamps (shopping certification marks) are stamped. Some of the shopping certification marking areas (the others have already been stamped) display the stamping date (designated shopping date), which is the date on which the stamp will be stamped. If you visit the store on the stamping date (designated shopping date) and make a purchase of a predetermined amount (predetermined shopping amount) or more (for example, the predetermined shopping amount is 1,000 yen or more), a stamp with the date of the stamping date (designated shopping date) displayed will be stamped. This card is designed so that a stamp (purchase proof mark) is stamped into the box (where the purchase proof mark is placed), and the number of exchange points, which are the number of points that can be used to obtain (and exchange for) a gift certificate or service voucher (hereinafter also referred to as a "service voucher"), is determined by the number of bingos that are formed in a vertical column (3 lines), horizontal column (3 lines), or diagonal column (2 lines) (one bingo is formed when all the stamp marks in a column are filled), and the right to obtain (= exchange right) a service voucher according to the number of exchange points is generated (confirmed / determined), and a service voucher of the same value as the number of exchange points is provided.Point cards are known (for example, Patent Document 1). The point card in Patent Document 1 is a card that stamps one stamp in the box (shopping proof marker area) on the designated shopping day in the bingo box group (shopping proof marker area group) on the point card when a purchase of a specified amount (for example, the specified amount is 1,000 yen or more) is made on a designated shopping day (hereinafter referred to as a "bingo-style point card"). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 5435440 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] [Pareto's Principle (2:8 Rule)] There is a law called the Pareto Principle (the 2:8 rule). For example, when applied to a retail store such as a supermarket, this law states that good customers, who make up 20% of the total customer base, account for 80% of sales.The idea is that rather than treating all customers equally, by giving preferential treatment to the good 20%, 80% of sales can be maintained, making it possible to achieve high cost-effectiveness. When actual surveys are conducted, many stores find that 20% to 30% of customers (good customers such as those who shop at the store frequently) account for 70% to 80% of sales. Both bingo-style point cards and stamp rally cards are often offered as reward points for loyal customers. By offering special preferential service to the 20% to 30% of loyal customers, distinguishing them from non-loyal customers (such as those who only visit during sales events), loyal customers feel special, valued, and valued, which is one way or another to maintain and maintain 80% of sales. For example, on the internet site described in Non-Patent Document 1, the user conditions for bingo-style point cards and stamp rally cards are limited to registered customers (e.g., customers who have registered customer identification information, such as name, address, and telephone number, with the store and who have a registered customer card or personal electronic device such as a smartphone containing the registered customer information). It is estimated that the overwhelming majority of registered customers are loyal customers who live near the store, visit the store frequently, or shop frequently because the store is located along their commute route.

[0005] Traditionally, most advertising in supermarkets and other stores has been done through newspaper inserts. For example, according to a statistical survey (http: / / www.j-sosm.jp / numeral / 2021_4_1_1.hTml), newspaper inserts account for 90.3% of all flyers and are published 1.7 times per week, making them a central strategy or tactic for attracting customers in supermarkets. However, newspaper flyer and insert advertising requires a large amount of advertising costs, and the 20% of good customers who contribute to 70-80% of the store's sales and the 80% of customers who only come on sale days and contribute only 20% of sales are treated equally without any differentiation, which means that advertising expenses are spent mostly on customers who only come on sale days. In other words, these stores only look at monetary sales information, and see the 20% of loyal customers who make up 80% of the store's sales as the same quality of customers as the 80% of sale-day customers who make up 20% of sales, and because the way these stores treat and evaluate their customers means that even the 20% of loyal customers do not feel that they are valued by the store, they often go unaware that they are gradually moving away from shopping at the store. When sales fall, these stores simply spend more money to increase them by placing newspaper flyers and inserts, but this gradually pushes 20% of their best customers into sales-day priority customers (for example, customers who visit the store 12 days a month will decrease to 10 days or 8 days), increasing their numbers. In order for a store to maintain stable sales over the long term, it is believed that it is extremely important for the survival of the store to ensure that the 20% of good customers remain good customers forever, to ensure that good customers do not become customers only on sale days, and to make efforts to ensure that at least one customer becomes a good customer only on sale days.

[0006] <1> Regarding the invention of Patent Document 1 There are a total of 18 shopping proof marker locations in the first card shopping proof marker location group and the second card shopping proof marker location group, and if different dates are displayed on all of these, the total number of days will be 18. In order to achieve all bingos (18 bingos), you must shop at the store on all 18 specified days in a month. In order to achieve all bingos (16 bingos) if the central square of each shopping proof marker location group is set to "FREE" (treated as a "stamped location"), you must shop on 16 specified days. Even if you take measures such as setting up days on which two stamps are given, you will not be able to achieve all bingos unless you shop on, for example, 12 to 15 days of the specified days. In addition, only one stamp will be stamped on the shopping certificate marking area if you make a purchase of a specified amount (for example, the specified amount is 1,000 yen or more) on a specified shopping date on which the conditions for stamping are specified (even if you make a purchase of 10,000 yen, only one stamp will be stamped). The above-mentioned Patent Document 1 (bingo-style point card) provides a significantly different sense of value, superiority, fairness, and usability depending on the customer's shopping style (customers who shop at stores frequently but spend a small amount per purchase (for example, about 1,000 to 3,000 yen)) and high-value customers who shop at stores a small number of times per month). (1) For example, this point card is easy to use for single customers or small families who live nearby a store and frequently visit the store to purchase fresh perishable foods such as sashimi, fresh meat, and fresh vegetables, and make relatively small purchases. For example, it is a bingo-style point card that will get you all bingo if you shop for 12 days, and if you shop for 12 days and spend between 1,000 yen (including 1,000 yen) and 2,000 yen (excluding 2,000 yen), the total amount will be between 12,000 yen and 24,000 yen. (2) For example, for customers with large families who purchase a large amount of merchandise in one shopping trip, or customers who visit the store less frequently but whose monthly purchases are high due to bulk purchases, these customers may feel that they are not getting a good deal, may feel a sense of unfairness, and may feel unhappy and unpleasant, even though they are good customers who contribute greatly to the store's monthly sales. For example, for a customer who shops once a week and spends an average of 10,000 yen, in a bingo point card that allows all bingos to be won if they shop for 12 days, even if they spend more than 40,000 or 50,000 yen a month, they will only get about half of the bingos (less points to exchange) and may feel like they are losing out because they only get half of the bingos (fewer points to exchange) despite spending a lot of money (and are good customers who contribute to sales). Above all, there is a great risk that this will increase feelings of unhappiness and a strong sense of unfairness, causing unpleasant feelings among our most valued customers. Therefore, the bingo-style point card of Patent Document 1 has the disadvantage that it is difficult for good customers who purchase a large amount of goods in one shopping trip, such as large families with large monthly purchase amounts, or good customers who visit the store less but buy in bulk in one shopping trip and make large monthly purchase amounts, to win all bingos, and there is a high risk of creating a sense of unfairness and unpleasantness. (3) In light of the Pareto principle (the 2:8 rule) mentioned above, this will cause discomfort and a sense of unfairness among good customers who visit the store in small numbers but spend a large amount each month, leading to a relative decline in service for such good customers, which will in turn lead to a decline in the good customers' feelings and image of the store. As a result, the store will not be able to encourage such good customers to visit the store on the days when it wants them to shop. Conversely, this will weaken their desire to visit the store, which could potentially weaken the attachment to the store among a significant portion of the 20 to 30 percent of good customers who contribute 70 to 80 percent of the store's sales.

[0007] [Purpose and effect of conventional bingo-style point cards] The significance (purpose, effect) of providing the bingo-style point card of Patent Document 1 to good customers is, for example, as follows. (1) By setting the stamping day (designated shopping day) on a day when the number of customers visiting the store is low (for example, Monday or Tuesday), it is possible to encourage high-value customers who want to have a stamp stamped to come and shop at the store, which is expected to increase the number of customers on that day or reduce the decrease in the number of customers.It also has the effect of reducing the number of high-value customers going to competing stores on the designated shopping day, which is expected to maintain or increase the favorable impression of the store by high-value customers. (2) By coordinating the stamping date with an event date such as a big sale at a rival store, it is possible to discourage valued customers from attending the event at the rival store, or to encourage purchasing behavior such as making small purchases at the store in order to get the stamp even though they have attended the event. (3) On the stamping day (designated shopping day), it is a good idea to set up special sales, such as one or several items (small number of items) such as sashimi, at specially low prices, and record these on the calendar. This will give loyal customers a sense of value and the expectation of earning points by hitting bingo, making for a more effective sales strategy or tactic.

[0008] If you make a purchase of a specified amount (for example, a specified amount of 1,000 yen or more) on a designated shopping day, a stamp (shopping proof mark) will be stamped in the shopping proof marking area (here, a square box) for the designated shopping day on the date of the purchase.Even if you make a purchase of more than 6,000 yen on a designated shopping day, the condition and form is that a stamp will be stamped in the shopping proof marking area displayed on the date of the designated shopping day on the date of the purchase, so basically only one shopping proof mark will be stamped in one shopping proof marking area. [Problems with the invention of Patent Document 1] From what has been said above, the bingo-style point card of Patent Document 1 is able to increase the number of customers who visit the store and shop on designated shopping days by frequent, good-value customers who are customers who can easily visit the store frequently, but it has the problem that it is difficult to increase the number of high-value, good-value customers who cannot visit the store frequently and who make large purchases by visiting the store frequently on designated shopping days.

[0009] In view of the problems of the prior art as described above, the present invention aims to provide a bingo-style point card or bingo-style point service that makes it easy for both frequent, good customers and high-value shoppers to hit bingo, and that makes it easy for customers to hit bingo when shopping with their respective shopping styles, as well as a display means for explaining usage rules, a store, a point service provision system, a point service provision method, and a point service program.

[0011] As is clear from the above description, the present invention provides the following effects. A frequent, loyal customer who visits the store frequently but does not spend a large amount of money on a single visit can increase the number of shopping certificate marks (32) they receive by spending a first predetermined shopping amount (for example, 1,000 yen to 4,999 yen). On the other hand, a good high-value shopping customer who spends a large amount on a single visit but visits the store infrequently can acquire at least two shopping certificate marks (32) (at least one in the box on the designated shopping day and one in a box designated by the customer) by making a purchase of a second predetermined amount (for example, 5,000 yen or more) on a designated shopping day, and if the customer makes a purchase of the second predetermined amount (for example, 5,000 yen or more) on a non-designated shopping day, a shopping certificate mark (32) will be placed in at least one box designated by the customer, providing more opportunities to increase the number of shopping certificate marks (32) that can be placed. This can reduce or eliminate the sense of unfairness that occurs to good customers who make large purchases with respect to the point service, and also makes them feel a sense of bargain and specialness. Furthermore, it is possible to encourage frequent loyal customers to make purchases of a second predetermined amount (for example, 5,000 yen or more). Furthermore, it is possible to encourage good customers who make large purchases to shop on designated shopping days. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0015] [Purchase Proof Marking Area Group 233a] The shopping proof marker point group section 233a has nine shopping proof marker points R (nine square boxes called shopping proof marker points R1 to R9), which are arranged or positioned in a matrix table form of three columns and three rows (a form in which a bingo is formed), and a designated shopping date Q is displayed at the shopping proof marker points R1 to R9, and the date of the designated shopping date Q is arranged and displayed as follows: The shopping certificate marking location R1 is Monday the 4th (designated shopping day Q1(Q)) The shopping certificate marking location R2 is Monday the 18th (designated shopping day Q2(Q)) The shopping certificate marking location R3 is Monday the 25th (designated shopping day Q3(Q)) The shopping certificate marking point R4 will be on Thursday the 28th (designated shopping day Q4 (Q)) The shopping proof marking area R5 located in the center is marked "FREE" and is the central box where a shopping proof mark has already been stamped (attached). Areas that do not display the date of the designated shopping day but function or are treated as having a shopping proof mark attached are also shopping proof marking areas (the same applies to the shopping proof marking area group section 233b described below). The shopping certificate marking point R6 will be on Friday the 22nd (designated shopping day Q5(Q)) The shopping certificate marking point R7 is on the 11th (Monday) (designated shopping day Q6 (Q)) The shopping certificate marking point R8 is Friday the 1st (designated shopping day Q7(Q)) The shopping certificate marking point R8 will be on Thursday the 14th (designated shopping day Q8(Q))

[0016] [Purchase Proof Marking Area Group 233b] The shopping proof marker point group section 233b has nine shopping proof marker points R (nine square boxes called shopping proof marker points R10 to R18), which are arranged or positioned in a matrix table form of 3 columns by 3 rows (a form in which a bingo is formed), and the designated shopping date Q is displayed at the shopping proof marker points R11 to R18, and the date of the designated shopping date Q is displayed and positioned as follows: The shopping certificate marking point R10 is Monday the 7th (designated shopping day Q9(Q)) The proof of purchase marking point R11 is "FREE" Shopping certificate marking location R12 will be on Saturday the 16th (designated shopping day Q10(Q)) The proof of purchase marking point R14 is "FREE" The proof of purchase marking point R15 is "FREE" The shopping certificate marking point R16 will be on Thursday the 21st (designated shopping day Q11(Q)) The proof of purchase marking area R17 is "FREE" The shopping certificate marking location R18 will be on the 9th (Saturday) (designated shopping day Q12 (Q))

[0017] When a customer makes a purchase of a specified amount (here, the specified amount is 1,000 yen or more) on a date indicated by the shopping proof marking locations R1 to R18, a shopping proof mark 232 is stamped (a shopping proof mark is given, attached) in the area where the specified shopping date Q is displayed in the shopping proof marking location R (shopping proof marking locations R1 to R18).

[0018] [Calendar 34a] Calendar 34a displays all of the store's events for the month, and also displays the letters "★BG" on designated shopping day Q, allowing customers to recognize that the day on which the letters "★BG" are displayed is designated shopping day Q and the day on which the stamp will be made (for example, called "Bingo Day"). The designated shopping day Q on which "★BG" is displayed is as follows: Designated shopping date Q7 (1st (Fri))... Displayed in shopping certificate marking area R8 Designated shopping date Q1 (Monday, 4th)... Displayed in shopping certificate marking area R1 Designated shopping date Q9 (Thursday, 7th)... Displayed in shopping certificate marking area R10 Designated shopping date Q12 (9th (Sat)) ·· Displayed in shopping certificate marking area R18 Designated shopping date Q6 (Monday 11th) - Displayed in shopping certificate marking area R7 Designated shopping date Q8 (Friday 14th) - Displayed in shopping certificate marking area R9 Designated shopping date Q10 (Saturday, 16th) ·· Displayed in shopping certificate marking area R12 Designated shopping date: Q5 (Monday, 18th) - Displayed in shopping certificate marking area R2 Designated shopping date Q11 (Thursday 21st) ·· Displayed in shopping certificate marking area R16 Designated shopping date Q5 (Friday 22nd) - Displayed in shopping certificate marking area R6 Designated shopping date: Q3 (Monday, 25th) - Displayed in shopping certificate marking area R3 Designated shopping date: Q4 (Thursday, 28th) - Displayed in shopping certificate marking area R4 *Designated shopping day Q is the designated shopping day set by the store.

[0019] [Help Bingo Day 38] The "★Help Bingo Day" displayed on the 31st of the calendar 34a is Help Bingo Day 38, and if you make a purchase of a specified amount (for example, the specified amount is 1,000 yen or more) on this day, you will receive a service of stamping one or more stamps (one stamp in this embodiment 1) on the shopping certificate marking area R that does not have a stamp. This is indicated in the Help Bingo Day explanation section 39 by displaying "The 31st is Help Bingo Day (one stamp will be stamped free of charge on an unstamped area)" and that if a purchase of a specified amount (here, the specified amount is 1,000 yen or more) is made on the 31st, a stamp will be stamped free of charge on one (or multiple) of the shopping proof marking areas R that have not been stamped in the shopping proof marking area group section 233a.

[0020] [Bingo formation (formation of a row) and Bingo points explanation section 35b] The shopping proof marker placement area group 233a has a total of eight rows in which bingo is achieved: three rows on the vertical axis, three rows on the horizontal axis, and two rows on the diagonal axis. In other words, if bingo is achieved in all eight rows (eight rows), it is an all-bingo. If all the squares in one row (three squares in this case) are filled with shopping proof markers 232, the entire row is filled and one bingo is achieved. The number of exchange points is determined by the number of bingo formed by the shopping proof mark 232 (a seal with the character "Shipped" in a circle) attached to the shopping proof mark attachment portion group 233a. The number of all bingos (all bingos, the number of times all rows are completed) is 16 bingos, and the relationship between the number of bingos and the number of points is as follows: 30 points for 1 bingo (exchangeable for a 30 yen gift certificate) 2 bingos earn you 60 points (exchangeable for a 60 yen gift certificate) 3 Bingo wins earns you 100 points (exchangeable for a 100 yen gift certificate) 4 bingos earn you 150 points (exchangeable for a 150 yen gift certificate) 5 bingos earn you 160 points (exchangeable for a 160 yen gift certificate) 6 bingos earns you 220 points (exchangeable for a 220 yen gift certificate) 7 Bingo for 300 points (exchange for a 300 yen gift certificate) 8 bingos earn you 400 points (exchangeable for a 400 yen gift certificate) 9 Bingo gives you 510 points (exchangeable for a 510 yen gift certificate) 10 bingos earns you 650 points (exchangeable for a 650 yen gift certificate) 11 Bingo gives you 770 points (exchangeable for a 770 yen gift certificate) 12 Bingo for 900 points (exchange for a 900 yen gift certificate) 13 Bingo for 1000 points (exchange for a 1000 yen gift certificate) 14 Bingo for 1200 points (exchange for a 1200 yen gift certificate) 15 Bingo wins earns you 1,350 points (exchangeable for a 1,350 yen gift certificate) 16 Bingo for 1500 points (exchange for a 1500 yen gift certificate) For example, 1 point is worth 1 yen, and 1,500 points can be exchanged for a 1,500 yen service voucher.

[0021] The dates displayed on the proof of purchase markers vary from month to month, and the arrangement and placement of the dates do not need to be the same; it is best to arrange them in accordance with the sales strategy for that month. It is also possible to have the same date (same designated shopping date Q) displayed at multiple shopping proof marking locations R, and to stamp multiple shopping proof marking locations R when shopping is done on that date. It is also possible to use a designated shopping date display format in which multiple different dates (designated shopping dates Q) are displayed in one shopping proof marking location R, and set a rule (condition) that if shopping is done on any of the dates (designated shopping dates Q), the shopping proof mark 232 will be stamped on that shopping proof marking location R. Since customers only need to shop on any of the dates, it is easy for them to plan their shopping, and it is expected that the probability of shopping on designated shopping date Q will increase.

[0022] The areas marked with "FREE" in the shopping certificate marking area are areas that have already been marked with a shopping certificate stamp (stamped box). The FREE box is not limited to the central shopping proof marking area; the date can be displayed in the central box and the boxes other than the central box can be FREE boxes, or multiple boxes can be set up in one shopping proof marking area group. The FREE box may be a blank box with no markings on it and then stamped.

[0023] The group of shopping proof marking locations may be arranged or positioned in a matrix form (a form in which a bingo is formed) of 2 rows by 2 or more columns (for example, 3 rows by 3 columns, 4 rows by 4 columns, 5 rows by 5 columns, etc.), and the shopping proof marking locations R may be square boxes, circular boxes, polygonal boxes, or some other patterned shape, and the group of shopping proof marking locations may be in the form of one, two, three, etc. It is also possible to arrange only the dates without using a frame box, or to arrange the dates and non-date display items (for example, letters such as "FREE" or patterns such as pictures) in a matrix of 2 columns by 2 or more columns (for example, 3 columns by 3 columns, 4 columns by 4 columns, 5 columns by 5 columns, etc.).

[0024] [Entry Section 36] The entry section 36 is where information is entered on cards that have reached their expiration date (in this case, the store will enter the information), and is equipped with a bingo number entry box 41, a point number entry box 42, and an attendant's stamp box 43. It is also possible for the customer to fill out the form. In this case, an attendant may check the form and stamp it with an official seal if there are no mistakes.

[0025] [Instruction section 37b] The instruction section 37b displays the following information: (1) When you use this card, the cashier will stamp the box at the time of payment. (2) Bonus points will be awarded depending on the number of bingo rows you complete. (3) The service voucher exchange date (the day the shopping voucher is handed over) and the next month's card will be handed over within four days: the last day of the current month and the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd of the following month. (4) Only one card is valid per customer. (5) This card cannot be reissued or two cards can be combined. (6) Valid only at the issuing store.

[0026] [Shopping amount multiple condition display section 230 (Shopping proof marking rule display section)] The point card 231 (usage rule explanation display means) is characterized by the provision of a shopping amount multiple condition display section 230 (shopping certificate marking rule display section). The designated shopping day Q, which is the shopping day designated by the store, is referred to here as "Bingo Day." "Masu" refers to the purchase proof marking area R. The shopping amount multiple condition display unit 230 (shopping proof marking rule display unit) (1) On the bingo day, you will need to stamp the date box for the designated shopping day for purchases between 1,000 yen and 5,999 yen. (2) For purchases of 6,000 yen or more on days other than bingo days, a stamp will be stamped on the customer's designated 1 sho. (3) If you spend more than 6,000 yen on a bingo day, we will stamp two boxes: one with the bingo date and one box of your choice. It is displayed (written) as follows.

[0027] [Objectives and technical ideas] The purpose, technical idea and configuration of the point card 231 (means for displaying the explanation of the usage rules) are as follows: A plurality of shopping proof marking locations (e.g., shopping proof marking locations (R)) are arranged or positioned in a matrix table form of 2 columns by 2 columns or more (e.g., shopping proof marking location group sections (e.g., shopping proof marking location group sections (233a, 233b)) of shopping proof marking locations (R1 to R9, R10 to R18), The date of the designated shopping date (e.g., designated shopping date (Q, Q1 to Q12)) designated by the store is displayed in all or part of the shopping proof marking area, The marking format of the shopping certification mark (e.g., shopping certification mark (232)) which is a mark to prove that a purchase has been made is a shopping certification marking format in which, if a purchase is made on the designated shopping day, the shopping certification mark is attached to the shopping certification marking location where the date of the designated shopping day is displayed; The point awarding format for point cards (hereinafter also referred to as "bingo-style point cards") is as follows: when all of the shopping proof marker locations in one column, row, or diagonal row are filled with shopping proof markers, one bingo is counted, and points are awarded according to the number of bingos that are counted.

[0028] [the purpose] To provide a bingo-style point card that enables both frequent good customers who visit the store many times and good customers who make large purchases (for example, customers who spend a large amount of money on shopping in one month) to win bingo without feeling unfair. [Technical thought 1] In the bingo-style point card, (A) The first predetermined shopping amount (for example, 1,000 yen to 4,999 yen) is displayed. (a) A second predetermined purchase amount (for example, 5,000 yen or more) that is equal to or greater than the first predetermined purchase amount is displayed. (c) If a purchase of the first predetermined purchase amount is made on the designated shopping date, an explanation to the effect that the shopping certificate mark will be attached to the shopping certificate marking location on which the date of the designated shopping date is displayed is displayed. (D) If a purchase of the second predetermined amount is made on the designated shopping date, the shopping certificate mark will be attached to the shopping certificate marking location on which the date of the designated shopping date is displayed, and an explanation to the effect that the shopping certificate mark will be attached to the shopping certificate marking location designated by the customer is displayed. (E) If a purchase of the second predetermined purchase amount is made on a non-designated shopping day, which is a day other than the designated shopping day, an explanation of the purpose or intent of attaching the shopping proof mark is displayed in the shopping proof mark attachment location designated by the customer.

[0029] By displaying the purpose or intent of (D) above, a customer who makes a purchase of the second predetermined amount on a designated shopping day can earn at least two shopping certificates: one in the shopping certificate marking location for the designated shopping day and one in the shopping certificate marking location designated by the customer. By displaying the purpose or intent of (E) above, a customer who makes a purchase of the second predetermined amount on a non-designated shopping day can earn a shopping certificate mark in the shopping certificate marking location designated by the customer. This has the following effect. In particular, this makes it easier for high-value, high-value customers who have difficulty visiting the store on designated shopping days to earn shopping certificates and win bingo. It is also expected that this will encourage frequent high-value customers to make high-value purchases of the second predetermined amount on designated shopping days and non-designated shopping days, motivated by the desire to increase the number of bingo wins. [composition] A plurality of predetermined shopping amounts are defined as the shopping amount conditions for attaching a shopping certificate mark, including at least a first predetermined shopping amount (for example, 1,000 yen to 5,999 yen) and a second predetermined shopping amount (6,000 yen or more) that is higher than the first predetermined shopping amount; The conditions for attaching a shopping certificate mark are set out as a plurality of conditions, namely, at least a first shopping certificate mark condition and a second shopping certificate mark condition, (A) The first shopping proof marking condition is set as follows: if a purchase of the first predetermined shopping amount (for example, 1,000 yen to 5,999 yen) is made on the designated shopping date Q, the shopping proof mark 232 is attached to the shopping proof marking location R that displays the date of the designated shopping date Q; (i) The second shopping proof marking condition is set as follows: if a purchase of the second predetermined shopping amount (for example, 6,000 yen or more) is made on a non-designated shopping day other than the designated shopping day Q, the shopping proof mark 232 is attached to the shopping proof marking location R designated by the customer; (c) A point card 231 having a shopping amount multiple condition display section 230 (shopping proof marking rule display section)) that displays the gist or intent that, when a purchase of the second specified shopping amount (for example, 6,000 yen or more) is made on the designated shopping day Q, a shopping proof mark 232 will be placed in the shopping proof marking location R that displays the date of the designated shopping day Q, and a shopping proof mark 232 will be placed in the shopping proof marking location R specified by the customer.

(4) [Stamping in two places] If a purchase of 4,000 yen or more is made on designated shopping day Q, a shopping proof mark 232 is stamped in the shopping proof marking area R that displays the date of designated shopping day Q, and a shopping proof mark 232 is stamped (stamped) in an empty shopping proof marking area R designated by the customer.

[0041] The following are examples of concrete expressions and displays of the gist or intent of (2) to (4) above. (2) {One stamp} If you make a purchase worth between 1,000 yen and 3,999 yen on bingo day, a stamp will be placed on the box with the date of the bingo day. (3) One stamp If you make a purchase of 4,000 yen or more on a day other than a bingo day, a stamp will be placed on the 1 sho (small sake cup) of your choice. (4) {Two stamps} If you make a purchase of 4,000 yen or more on bingo day, two boxes will be stamped: one with the date of the bingo day and one box of your choice.

[0042] [Example of use (see Figure 2 (b)] (a) The customer made a purchase worth more than 4,000 yen on the designated shopping date Q7 (Friday the 1st), so the shopping certificate mark 232 was stamped in the shopping certificate marking location R9, which indicates the designated shopping date Q7 (Friday the 1st), and the shopping certificate mark 232 was also stamped in the shopping certificate marking location R11 designated by the customer. (i) Since a purchase of more than 4,000 yen was made on the designated shopping date Q1 (Monday, the 4th), the shopping certificate mark 232 was stamped in the shopping certificate marking location R2, which indicates the designated shopping date Q1 (Monday, the 4th), and the shopping certificate mark 232 was also stamped in the shopping certificate marking location R6 designated by the customer. In other words, over two days of shopping, 232 shopping certificates were stamped at four locations.

[0043] The mark-stamped areas S are set at four corners, but are not limited to this. For example, the number can be set to one, two, three, four, or five, depending on the store's conditions, and the placement of the marks can be random or other appropriate. [Example]

[0044] The main difference between the third embodiment of the present invention shown in Figure 3 and the second embodiment is that the group of shopping certificate marking points is the shopping certificate marking point group 233d, and the four shopping certificate marking points R6, R7, R10, and R11, which are two rows by two rows of squares in the center of the shopping certificate marking point group 233d, are treated as marked points S, forming a point card 236 (usage rule explanation display means) (bingo-style point card).

[0045] [Example of use (see Figure 3(b)] (a) The customer made a purchase of 2,000 yen (first predetermined shopping amount 1,000 yen to 3,999 (less than 4,000 yen)) on designated shopping day Q1 (Friday the 1st), so the shopping proof mark 232 was stamped only in the shopping proof marking location R1, which displays designated shopping day Q7 (Friday the 1st). (i) Since a purchase of 4,000 yen or more (second predetermined shopping amount of 4,000 yen or more) was made on the designated shopping date Q2 (Monday, the 4th), the shopping certificate mark 232 was stamped in the shopping certificate marking area R2 which indicates the designated shopping date Q2 (Monday, the 4th), and the shopping certificate mark 232 was also stamped in the available shopping certificate marking area 8 designated by the customer. (c) Because a purchase of more than 4,000 yen was made on the designated shopping day Q3 (Thursday the 7th), the shopping proof mark 232 was stamped in the shopping proof marking area R3 which indicates the designated shopping day Q3 (Thursday the 7th), and the shopping proof mark 232 was also stamped in the empty shopping proof marking area 16 designated by the customer. In other words, over three days of shopping, 232 shopping certification marks were stamped at five locations. [Example]

[0090] The program is characterized in that it causes a computer to execute steps st201 to st202. [Example]

[0091] The sixth embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 15 is mainly different from the fifth embodiment in that the shopping electronic certificate marking location group unit is a shopping electronic certificate marking location group unit 290, The shopping electronic certificate marking location group section 290 is in the form of two shopping electronic certificate marking location groups, a first shopping electronic certificate marking location group section 290a and a second shopping electronic certificate marking location group section 290b, in the form of a matrix table of 3 columns by 3 columns.

[0092] [Note] [Appendix A Invention] A shopping electronic certificate marking location group section (e.g., ... 243g )) is provided, The date of the designated shopping date (e.g., designated shopping date ((T), (T1-T12)) designated by the store is displayed in all or part of the electronic shopping certificate marking area, The attachment form of the shopping electronic certificate mark (e.g., shopping electronic certificate mark (232)), which is a mark that proves that a purchase has been made, is a shopping electronic certificate mark attachment form in which, when a purchase is made on the designated shopping date ((T), (T1 to T12)), the shopping electronic certificate mark (e.g., shopping electronic certificate mark (232)) is attached to the shopping electronic certificate mark attachment location where the date of the designated shopping date ((T), (T1 to T12)) is displayed, for example, the shopping electronic certificate mark attachment location ((U), (U1 to U16)), A point service providing system in which points are awarded in such a way that a row, a column, or a diagonal row that is completely filled with the shopping electronic certificate marks (e.g., shopping electronic certificate marks (232)) attached to the shopping electronic certificate marking locations ((U), (U1-U16)) is considered to be one bingo, and points are awarded according to the number of bingos that are completed, A service point providing system characterized by including a shopping amount multiple condition setting unit (272) that sets the predetermined shopping amount, which is the shopping amount condition for attaching a shopping electronic proof mark (e.g., shopping electronic proof mark (232)), at least a first predetermined shopping amount (e.g., 1,500 yen to 4,999 yen) and a second predetermined shopping amount (5,000 yen or more) that is a shopping amount higher than the first predetermined shopping amount. [Appendix B Invention] The service point providing system described in the invention of Appendix A is characterized in that the shopping amount multiple condition setting unit (272) sets a first shopping electronic certificate marking condition, which is a condition for granting the shopping electronic certificate mark (e.g., shopping electronic certificate mark (232)) when the first predetermined shopping amount (e.g., 1,500 yen to 4,999 yen) is purchased, and a second shopping electronic certificate marking condition, which is a condition for granting the shopping electronic certificate mark (e.g., shopping electronic certificate mark (232)) when the second predetermined shopping amount (e.g., 5,000 yen or more) is purchased.

[0093] [Action and effect] Since the opportunities for good high-value shopping customers to obtain shopping certificate markers are increased, including on non-designated shopping days, it becomes easier for these good high-value shopping customers to obtain all bingo (stamps in all columns), which reduces the sense of unfairness between these customers and good frequent shopping customers who, due to their large number of store visits, have more opportunities to obtain bingo for the first specified shopping amount (low amount) that is not a high-value shopping amount, and also has the effect of encouraging good frequent shopping customers to make purchases of the second specified shopping amount (high amount) due to their desire to achieve bingo.

[0094] [Conventional seal application method] The point card service (bingo-style point card) of Patent Document 1, which is a conventional technology, has one predetermined shopping amount and the amount is set low at 1,000 yen or more, and this low amount is set to target customers who visit the store frequently and make relatively low-value purchases (frequent shoppers who are good customers). Therefore, customers who visit the store less and make expensive purchases (good high-value shoppers) have fewer opportunities to stamp the shopping certificate mark, and therefore tend to have difficulty achieving a bingo despite making expensive purchases, which creates a strong possibility of creating a strong sense of unfairness.

[0095] [Invention of Appendix 2] [Invention 1 of Appendix 2] A shopping certification marking area group section (e.g., shopping certification marking area group sections (233a, 233b, 233c, 233d)) is provided in which shopping certification marking areas (e.g., shopping certification marking area (R)) where shopping certification marks (e.g., shopping certification marking area (32)) that are marks that prove a purchase have been made are arranged or positioned in a matrix table form of 2 columns by 2 columns or more (e.g., shopping certification marking areas (R1 to R16)), The shopping certificate marking area (e.g., shopping certificate marking areas (R1 to R16)) is in a form in which the date of a designated shopping date (e.g., designated shopping date (Q)) designated by the store is displayed (e.g., the date of a designated shopping date (Q1 to Q12)), The device has an indication of the purpose or intent that, when a purchase of a first predetermined purchase amount (for example, 1,000 yen to 5,999 yen) is made on the designated shopping day (for example, designated shopping day (Q)), a purchase proof mark (for example, purchase proof mark (32)) will be attached to the purchase proof marking area (for example, purchase proof marking area (R)) on which the date of the designated shopping day is displayed, and a second predetermined purchase amount equal to or greater than the first predetermined purchase amount is attached to a non-designated shopping day other than the designated shopping day. a shopping amount multiple condition display unit (e.g., a shopping amount multiple condition display unit (230) (shopping certificate marking rule display unit)) having a display indicating the gist or intent that, when a purchase of a predetermined shopping amount (e.g., 6,000 yen or more) is made, the shopping certificate mark (e.g., the shopping certificate mark (32)) will be attached to an empty space that is the shopping certificate marking location (e.g., the shopping certificate marking location (R)) where the shopping certificate mark (e.g., the shopping certificate mark (32)) has not been attached, The point awarding method is a method in which a complete row of the shopping proof marks (e.g., shopping proof marks (32)) attached to the shopping proof marking locations (e.g., shopping proof marking locations (R)) is aligned vertically, horizontally, or diagonally, and points are awarded based on the number of bingo wins, which is the number of bingo wins.
