Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a platform system and method for marketing support that brings about a change in the behavior of individual customers, including promoting the use and sales of products or services for individual customers by utilizing digital bonuses of 3D designs as non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
Background Art
[0002] Conventionally, marketing has been positioned as a comprehensive activity for selling products or services, that is, for creating a market. However, in recent years, a co-creative and sustainable perspective has been incorporated, and marketing is regarded as a process of creating value through products or services, widely spreading that value, fostering relationships with stakeholders, and realizing a richer and more sustainable society (see the website of the Japan Marketing Association, a public interest incorporated foundation).
[0003] Therefore, modern marketing refers to a series of activities for co-creating value with customers through products or services, and aims to build a mechanism that encourages customer participation in the value creation process. As a method for such marketing, with the spread of the Internet and the development of IT technology, the role of digital marketing has been increasing. Digital marketing is a method of building relationships with stakeholders, that is, mainly with customers, by utilizing digital technology to promote understanding of products or services, and is an activity for satisfying customer needs.
[0004] As an example of such digital marketing, Patent Document 1 discloses a method for a business to implement marketing measures based on the wallet information of target users in a continuous transaction scenario with users purchasing artwork. Patent Document 2 discloses a management device for safely providing consumers with the enjoyment expected from NFTs, which have the value of being unique, by offering non-fungible tokens (NFTs) as prizes selected by lottery to consumers who win them. Furthermore, Patent Document 3 discloses a system for managing the transfer of ownership and delivery claims for alcoholic beverages on a barrel-by-barrel basis using NFTs.

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 7239233 [Patent Document 2] Patent No. 7542698 [Patent Document 3] Patent No. 7596577 [Overview of the Initiative] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]
[0006] However, the digital marketing methods or means disclosed in Patent Documents 1 to 3 have presented some difficulties in addressing strategic promotions that aim to efficiently raise awareness of a company's brand and generate long-term sales benefits by increasing the visibility of the products or services themselves offered by the selling company. Therefore, it is desirable that digital marketing also be able to promote the use and sales of such products or services.
[0007] This invention was made to solve these problems, and aims to provide a platform system and method for marketing support that enables not only the acquisition of new customers but also the cultivation of customers who continue to use the product or service, by providing customers with value other than the product or service they purchase in digital marketing, i.e., by providing customer incentives, thereby promoting the use and sales of the product or service. [Means for solving the problem]
[0008] To solve the above problems, in one aspect of the present invention, a platform system is provided to support marketing efforts for the conclusion of sales contracts between sales companies that sell products in the market and individual customers that use or purchase products from sales companies, by promoting the use or purchase of products, and comprises the following components. That is, (1) A counterfeit detection system server that performs authenticity detection processing on purchase information data provided by a terminal device after it has been registered on the terminal device by the individual customer, based on the promotional conditions data of the product provided by the selling company and the proof of purchase issued by the selling company to the individual customer, wherein if the data values constituting the purchase information data satisfy the conditions constituting the promotional conditions data, the counterfeit detection system server transmits an instruction to issue a digital bonus corresponding to the product. and, (2) A digital bonus distribution system server that, based on an instruction to issue a digital bonus received from a genuineness determination system server, sends transaction data including 3D design data of a digital bonus to a blockchain (BC) platform system, wherein the 3D design data is issued as a nonfungible token (NFT) from the blockchain platform system to a terminal device.
[0009] Here, a wallet application is installed on the terminal device to manage digital bonuses as NFTs, and the wallet application handles the input and output management of NFTs that correspond to the blockchain platform system and the game platform / marketplace system.
[0010] Furthermore, the wallet application supports the exchange or sale of digital bonuses as NFTs via the blockchain platform system, based on agreements between individual customers on the game platform / marketplace system.
[0011] Furthermore, the purchase information data consists of the date and time of purchase, quantity, name, and price of the product, as well as the total amount, the name of the selling company's store, and the wallet address of the individual customer's terminal device. The promotional conditions data consists of the promotional period, the quantity, name, and price of the product, as well as the total amount, the name of the selling company's store, and the design ID of the digital bonus. The promotional conditions specify various thresholds, including the store location or number of visits during the promotional period, the total amount spent, the number or quantity of purchases of specific products, or the frequency of purchase opportunities.
[0012] Furthermore, when an individual customer receives a paper receipt for a product sales contract at a retail store of a sales company, the terminal device captures the text and codes on the paper receipt as an image, converts the result into a computer-usable digital character code using optical character recognition, and thereby creates purchase information data.
[0013] Furthermore, the terminal device includes a dedicated application provided by the platform system in an operational state, and provides purchase information data configured by the dedicated application to the authenticity verification system server. In the authenticity verification process of the authenticity verification system server, if the data values constituting the purchase information data satisfy the promotional conditions constituting the promotional conditions data, the digital bonus issued to the terminal device from the blockchain platform system is received by the dedicated application.
[0014] Here, when an individual customer purchases a product from a sales company, and the QR code provided to the individual customer by the sales company, or the QR code attached to the product, is read by a terminal device, the terminal device provides purchase information data to the authenticity verification system server based on the access information to the authenticity verification system server contained in the QR code.
[0015] Furthermore, the purchase information data is structured as a document display format file, and the document display format file contains online purchase information when an individual customer purchases a product in the online shopping of a sales company. Re It is a sheet.
[0016] Furthermore, the purchase of goods by an individual customer from a retailer is replaced by the individual customer, while holding a terminal device, moving to a specific area set by the retailer, and the individual customer's location is determined based on global location information provided by satellite positioning systems.
[0017] Furthermore, the digital bonus item distribution system server transmits the 3D design data of the digital bonus item to a 3D printing service system equipped with a 3D printer, based on the 3D printing request for the digital bonus item received from the terminal device. The 3D printing service system then instructs the delivery of the physical goods manufactured by 3D printing the digital bonus item to the location specified by the individual customer included in the 3D printing request.
[0018] Furthermore, this system includes a user management system server as a component, which manages personal information of individual customers included in the digital bonus item issuance instructions. Based on the personal information and the specified location information included in the 3D printing request for the digital bonus item, the system executes delivery instructions for the physical goods included in the digital bonus item.
[0019] Furthermore, the blockchain platform system is a distribution infrastructure that maintains accurate and complete NFT transaction history based on distributed ledger technology using blockchain. Distributed ledger technology stores transaction history in units called blocks, linking them together as a single chain from the past to the present using cryptographic technology.
[0020] Furthermore, in one aspect of the present invention, a method for providing marketing support for the formation of a sales contract between a sales company that sells goods in the market and an individual customer that uses or purchases goods from the sales company, by promoting the use or purchase of goods, comprises the following components: (1) A step in which a counterfeit detection system server included in the marketing support platform system performs a counterfeit detection process on the purchase information data provided by the terminal device after it has been registered on the terminal device by the individual customer, based on the promotional condition data of the product provided by the selling company and the proof of purchase issued by the selling company to the individual customer, wherein if the purchase information data satisfies the promotional conditions in the counterfeit detection process, an instruction to issue a digital bonus corresponding to the product is sent. and (2) A digital bonus distribution system server included in the marketing support platform system sends transaction data, including 3D design data of a digital bonus, to the blockchain platform system based on an issuance instruction for a digital bonus received from the authenticity verification system server, wherein the 3D design data is issued as a nonfungible token (NFT) from the blockchain platform system to a terminal device.
Advantages of the Invention
[0021] According to the present invention, in digital marketing, based on utilizing the digital bonus of the 3D design as a non-fungible token (NFT), it brings about a change in customer behavior, including promoting the utilization and sales of products or services for individual customers, and enables to reliably provide the enjoyment expected from the digital bonus with the value of uniqueness to the individual customers who receive the digital bonus on a daily basis. It is possible to provide the commercialization of a digital bonus platform as a distribution infrastructure for digital bonuses.

[Modes for carrying out the invention]
[0024] Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. In addition, in multiple drawings, the same reference numerals represent the same components, and their descriptions will not be repeated. Furthermore, acronyms such as NFT (Non-Fungible Token) and BC (Blockchain) will be mentioned below, but will not be explained again after their first appearance.
[0025] [Connection methods for marketing support platform systems] Figure 1 shows the connection configuration of a marketing support platform system according to one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 shows a basic model of system integration involved in the marketing support platform system shown in Figure 1.
[0026] Here, we envision a scenario where, in the marketplace, a sales company provides products or services to individual customers as goods, an individual customer applies to purchase the goods, and the sales company accepts this application, thus concluding a sales contract. After the individual customer purchases the goods from the sales company's store or shopping site, they apply to receive a digital bonus via their terminal device and receive the requested digital bonus via the internet.
[0027] Generally speaking, "real-world bonuses" refer to goods or novelty items provided as a set with a product by a retailer or manufacturer for the purpose of promoting the sale of a product or service. In contrast, "digital bonuses" are goods or novelty items that replace real-world bonuses, such as goods or novelty items, with collectibles or gadgets that can be collected or manipulated using smartphone applications or similar devices.
[0028] In particular, in this application, "digital bonus" refers to digital goods that provide entertainment value in response to intellectual property (IP), including rights or values such as copyrights, trademarks, and portrait rights, for works or content centered on characters or people, thus embodying the digital transformation (DX) of bonuses. Furthermore, this application assumes that in a license agreement for using IP as a digital bonus, the entity providing the marketing support platform system receives a license for the IP from the IP holder who manages or owns the IP, and pays the IP holder a license fee as a performance-based compensation for using the IP.
[0029] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the customer's personal terminal device 110 is wirelessly connected via a communication line 100 to the sales company's promotional platform system 120, the marketing support platform system 140, the blockchain platform system 150, and the game platform / marketplace system 160, respectively. Furthermore, the marketing support platform system 140 is wiredly connected to the sales company's promotional platform system 120, the digital bonus creation company's data distribution system 130, the blockchain platform system 150, and the printing company's 3D printing service system 170, respectively.
[0030] Furthermore, the communication line 100 may be, for example, a public network that enables telephone communication and data communication, or it may include a dedicated network that connects only specific systems to enable limited communication. In particular, the terminal device 110 is a smartphone, and its operating system has a wallet application called "Digital Bonus Application" installed for managing digital bonuses as NFTs. This wallet application performs input / output management of NFTs corresponding to the blockchain platform system 150 and the game platform / marketplace system 160.
[0031] In this scenario, when an individual customer enters into a sales contract for goods located within a retail store, the customer's terminal device 110 is enabled to send and receive various transaction data necessary for payment processing in a contactless manner while in close proximity to the store's payment terminal, based on communication functions such as Near Field Communication (NFC) standards. In this case, after the payment for the goods is completed, the individual customer receives a paper receipt issued from the payment terminal via a store staff member. Alternatively, the terminal device 110 receives an electronic receipt issued from the payment terminal via NFC communication. It should be noted that the customer's payment method to the payment terminal is not limited to NFC payment; other payment methods, including cash, credit cards, and code payments, can also be used.
[0032] Furthermore, when an individual customer receives a paper receipt, the terminal device 110 captures the text and one-dimensional / two-dimensional codes (e.g., QR (Quick Response) code (registered trademark), etc.) on the paper receipt as images using an image scanner, digital camera, etc., and then converts the results into computer-usable digital character codes using an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) function to create receipt data.
[0033] Here, we assume the use of receipts as a mechanism for obtaining purchase information, i.e., for providing proof of purchase. However, other methods, such as those shown below, are also possible. (1) Only for individual customers who have purchased specific products pre-set by the selling company, a specific two-dimensional code containing purchase information is issued from the sales promotion platform system 120 to a terminal device 110, thereby enabling the terminal device 110, which reads access information from the two-dimensional code, to send a request for the issuance of a digital bonus to the marketing support platform system 140. (2) Based on global location information (e.g., GPS (Global Positioning System) (registered trademark) information) provided by a satellite positioning system, which is acquired by a location information acquisition function provided in a dedicated application that is a wallet application of the terminal device 110, the marketing support platform system 140 will be able to send a request for digital bonus issuance to the terminal device 110 only to individual customers whose location measurement has revealed that they have moved to a specific area set in advance for sale. (3) When an individual customer purchases a product through online shopping, the sales promotion platform system 120 issues a document display format file (for example, PDF (Portable Document Format) (registered trademark), etc.) as an online receipt containing purchase information to the terminal device 110, thereby enabling the terminal device 110, which has read the document display format file, to send a request for the issuance of a digital bonus to the marketing support platform system 140.
[0034] On the other hand, when an individual customer enters into a sales contract for goods on a shopping site, including a sales company's virtual store, the individual customer's terminal device 110 is enabled to send and receive various transaction data necessary for payment processing via the communication line 100. In this case, the terminal device 110 receives an electronic receipt issued from the sales promotion platform system 120, which is linked to the shopping site, via SMS (short message service) communication or email communication.
[0035] When the wallet application on terminal device 110 is first used, the personal information or attribute data of the individual customer is registered in the wallet. In addition, receipt data created by terminal device 110, or receipt data constituting an electronic receipt received by terminal device 110, is managed in the wallet by the wallet application on terminal device 110. Furthermore, if an individual customer wishes to receive a digital bonus, the receipt data is sent from terminal device 110 to the marketing support platform system 140 based on the receipt destination address indicated by information or codes contained in the receipt data, which is configured as a document display format file (e.g., PDF®).
[0036] Furthermore, the sales company's promotional platform system 120, by linking with a shopping site including a virtual store, receives transaction data for product purchases that correspond to the buying and selling of goods on the shopping site, and sends a receipt to the terminal device 110 of the individual customer who made the purchase. This promotional platform system 120 also sends the setting of conditions for promoting the use or sales of its own products or services, i.e., the setting of promotional conditions, to the authenticity verification system server 210 in the marketing support platform system 140.
[0037] Furthermore, when the data distribution system 130 of the digital bonus creation company receives a request to create a digital bonus from the marketing support platform system 140, it sends the digital bonus design created within the digital bonus creation company with respect to the licensed IP to the marketing support platform system 140.
[0038] Furthermore, the blockchain platform system 150 is a distributed ledger infrastructure that applies blockchain (BC) technology, such as Bitcoin (registered trademark) and Ethereum (registered trademark), and has features such as high availability, high integrity, low transaction costs, and excellent resistance to tampering in data management. Blockchain (BC) distributed ledger technology refers to a technology that attempts to maintain an accurate and complete transaction history based on the management and sharing of the same ledger (database) by each participant (computer) on the network, by linking and storing transaction history from the past to the present in units called blocks using cryptographic technology.
[0039] When the blockchain platform system 150 receives transaction data containing digital bonus data from the digital bonus distribution system server 220 within the marketing support platform system 140, it sequentially stores the transaction records for the digital bonus included in the transaction data into predetermined hash value blocks. Then, depending on the results of subsequent transactions such as exchange or purchase of the digital bonus, it issues (mints) the digital bonus data as an NFT to the wallet application on the terminal device 110 of the individual customer who is the exchange / purchase recipient.
[0040] Furthermore, the game platform / marketplace system 160, while providing services such as game purchase, download, and online play as a game platform, or while providing services such as buying and selling goods as a marketplace, also provides opportunities for collecting, using, and exchanging digital bonuses as NFTs between itself and individual customers' terminal devices 110. This game platform / marketplace system 160 handles the digital bonus data received from individual customers' terminal devices 110 as NFTs and transmits digital bonus transaction data resulting from NFT transactions between multiple customers to the terminal devices 110 of the trading source / trading partners.
[0041] Furthermore, when the printing company's 3D printing service system 170 receives a digital bonus 3D printing request from the marketing support platform system 140, including the digital bonus design and recipient user information, it instructs the printing company to ship the digital bonus physical goods, which have been manufactured and packaged in-house using a 3D printer based on the digital bonus design, to a location specified by the individual customer who made the 3D printing request, via postal mail or courier service, based on the recipient user information.
[0042] Furthermore, the marketing support platform system 140 consists of a counterfeit detection system server 210, a digital bonus distribution system server 220, and a user management system server 230. When the counterfeit detection system server 210 receives receipt data from an individual customer's terminal device 110, it performs a counterfeit detection process on the receipt data based on the promotional conditions data registered from the promotional platform system 120.
[0043] Furthermore, the digital bonus distribution system server 220, based on the "no abnormality" judgment result received from the authenticity determination system server 210, transmits the personal information of individual customers to the user management system server 230, and after performing design ID matching processing related to the digital bonus, sends the corresponding digital bonus data to the blockchain platform system 150.
[0044] [Internal configuration of each server within the marketing support platform system] Figures 3 to 5 show the internal configurations of the authenticity verification system server, the digital bonus item distribution system server, and the user management system server, respectively, which are included in the marketing support platform system shown in Figure 1. Furthermore, Figure 6 shows examples of the data configurations in the receipt management data storage unit, the sales promotion condition management data storage unit, the digital bonus item data storage unit, and the user management data storage unit, respectively, as shown in Figures 3 to 5.
[0045] (Internal configuration of the authenticity verification system server 210) As shown in Figure 3, the authenticity verification system server 210 within the marketing support platform system 140 is configured similarly to a computer intended for general server use, managing sales promotion condition data for sales companies and receipt data for individual customers, and determining whether a product purchase by an individual customer meets the promotion conditions. More specifically, in the authenticity verification system server 210, the control unit 310, main memory unit 312, input unit 314, output unit 316, communication interface unit 318, and auxiliary storage unit 320 are interconnected via the system bus 300 so that they can communicate with each other.
[0046] The auxiliary storage unit 320 contains a receipt management unit 330, a sales promotion conditions management unit 332, a transaction management unit 334, a customer data management unit 336, a counterfeit determination processing unit 338, and a determination result distribution unit 340, respectively. When the programs held in these components are loaded into the main storage unit 312 based on a call instruction from the control unit 310, each application program constructed by this load executes various calculations that handle the processing of various data related to receipt management, sales promotion conditions management, counterfeit determination, and determination result distribution.
[0047] Furthermore, the auxiliary storage unit 320 contains a customer data storage unit 350, a receipt management data storage unit 352, a sales promotion conditions management data storage unit 354, a transaction data storage unit 356, and a program storage unit 358, respectively. When the data and programs stored in these components are loaded into the main storage unit 312 based on a call instruction from the control unit 310, the subsystem constructed by this load is used to process various calculations that manage data and programs in file / database format.
[0048] The control unit 310 functions as a Central Processing Unit (CPU), controlling the operation and performing data calculations for individual system components, and in particular loading data and programs stored in the auxiliary storage unit 320 into the main memory unit 312 to perform various calculations. The main memory unit 312 functions as the main memory, storing various data and programs, as well as computer-executable instructions, input from the input unit 314, communication IF unit 318, and auxiliary storage unit 320, etc., based on instructions from the control unit 310. It also stores the data processed by calculations on these internally and provides it externally via the output unit 316.
[0049] The input unit 314 provides an interface for receiving various commands and data (e.g., data from various masters and tables) input by the system operator. The output unit 316 provides an interface for generating output data for displaying various processed data to the operator, and output data for printing said data. The communication interface unit 318 provides an interface that functions when sending and receiving various data with individual customer terminal equipment 110, sales company promotion platform system 120, digital bonus creation company data distribution system 130, blockchain platform system 150, printing company 3D printing service system 170, and other internal systems and devices.
[0050] Here, the embodiment of the server configuration of the authenticity determination system server 210 is sufficient as long as it functions as a single system configuration. For example, the authenticity determination system server 210 may be located inside a single server computer, or it may be configured by distributing each system component in parallel as multiple sets of units, or it may be configured by combining multiple server computers to share data and programs.
[0051] More specifically, the receipt management unit 330 manages the registration, updating, and deletion of receipt data for individual customers and stores such related information in the receipt management data storage unit 352. The sales promotion conditions management unit 332 manages the registration, updating, and deletion of sales promotion conditions data for sales companies and stores such related information in the sales promotion conditions management data storage unit 354. The transaction management unit 334 manages the execution of a series of indivisible processes necessary for the receipt management or sales promotion conditions management described above and stores the processing results in the transaction data storage unit 356. The customer data management unit 336 manages the personal information of individual customers and the results of the authenticity determination process included in the receipt data and stores such related information in the customer data storage unit 350.
[0052] Furthermore, the authenticity determination processing unit 338 determines whether the individual customer's receipt data meets the target promotional conditions based on the sales company's promotional conditions data, and transmits the determination result to the determination result distribution unit 340. The determination result distribution unit 340 then selects a distribution destination according to the content of the authenticity determination result received from the authenticity determination processing unit 338 and transmits the corresponding determination result to the target distribution destination. In addition, the program storage unit 358 stores programs for executing a series of processes to be executed as a transaction, or other individual processes, and receives calls to these programs from the control unit 310.
[0053] Here, if (1) the result of the authenticity determination is false, that is, (1-1) the receipt data is the same as past information from the same customer, or (1-2) the entire current and past receipt data from the same customer does not meet the target promotional conditions, the authenticity determination system server 210 transmits an abnormality determination result to the terminal device 110. On the other hand, if (2) the result of the authenticity determination is true, that is, (2-1) the receipt data is different from past information from the same customer, and (2-2) the entire current and past receipt data from the same customer meets the target promotional conditions, the authenticity determination system server 210 transmits a normal determination result to the terminal device 110 and the digital bonus granting system server 220, respectively.
[0054] The receipt data is broken down into various data types, such as the wallet address of the terminal device 110, the date and time of purchase of the target product, the name of the target product, the quantity purchased, and the price, as well as the total amount and the name of the selling company's store, as partially shown in Figure 6(a). Similarly, the promotional condition data is broken down into various data types, such as the condition ID, the promotional period, the name of the target product, the quantity purchased, and the price, as well as the total amount, the name of the selling company's store, and the design ID of the target digital bonus, as partially shown in Figure 6(b). Specifically, the promotional conditions specify various thresholds, including the store visited, the number of visits (frequency of visits), the total purchase amount, the number of times a specific product was purchased, the quantity purchased, or the frequency of purchase opportunities within the target period. The wallet address is address information indicating the location of the wallet associated with the resource on the blockchain (BC).
[0055] Furthermore, the following are some possible combinations of items in the receipt data: (1) Combinations of items applicable to retail stores, etc. include company name, store name, total amount, and date. Corresponding promotional conditions include, for example, that purchases of a certain amount or more are made at a specific retail store a certain number of times in a month. (2) Combinations of items that apply to the manufacturer, etc. include address, date, and product name. Corresponding promotional conditions include, for example, the purchase of a specific product at a domestic store in one month. (3) Combinations of items that apply to restaurants, etc. include address, company name, store name, and product name. Corresponding promotional conditions include, for example, the purchase of a specific product at a specific restaurant.
[0056] (Internal configuration of the digital bonus distribution system server 220) As shown in Figure 4, the digital bonus distribution system server 220 within the marketing support platform system 140 is configured similarly to a computer intended for general server use. It manages the digital bonus data held by the marketing support platform management company and sends the digital bonus transaction data to the blockchain platform system 150 based on the judgment results received from the authenticity determination system server 210. More specifically, the digital bonus distribution system server 220 has a control unit 410, a main memory unit 412, an input unit 414, an output unit 416, a communication IF unit 418, and an auxiliary memory unit 420, all of which are connected to each other via the system bus 400. Since these components basically operate in the same way as the components of the authenticity determination system server 210, further details will not be explained.

(4) Furthermore, the printing function makes it possible to make the above (1) to (3) more realistic.
[0085] (NFT game utilization / exchange) As shown in Figure 11(b), within the wallet application, there is a function to utilize digital bonuses as NFTs in games. Specifically, for example, digital bonuses are used as icon symbol images. Also, as shown in Figure 11(c), within the wallet application, there is a function to request 3D printing of digital bonuses as NFTs. Specifically, for example, digital bonuses are specified as the printing target for a 3D printing request to the marketing support platform system 140.
[0086] [Acquisition and analysis of purchase data and usage data] The marketing support platform system allows for the acquisition and analysis of individual customer purchase data for a sales company's products and individual customer usage data for digital bonuses associated with those products. Based on this data, it is possible to plan and verify the effectiveness of optimal strategies aligned with the sales company's marketing objectives. Furthermore, it can recommend optimal strategies based on how individual customers utilize the digital bonuses.
[0087] Specifically, taking a product targeting men in their 40s as an example, the marketing support platform system can use AI (Artificial Intelligence) to provide AI recommendations to men in their 40s, recommending popular digital bonus items. Based on the functions of this marketing support platform system, a dedicated application installed on the terminal device 110 can also be equipped with a function to recommend optimal strategy information to individuals based on how they use the digital bonus items.
[0088] This makes it possible to recommend information to individual customers who, for example, tend to collect digital bonus items related to collaborations with specific characters, allowing them to acquire digital bonus items related to the collaboration. Furthermore, it enables companies to plan and evaluate the effectiveness of optimal strategies aligned with their marketing objectives (for example, if a product targets men in their 40s, it becomes possible to recommend digital bonus items that are popular with men in their 40s).
[0089] In this way, the following are examples of the effects on sales companies: (1) Marketing costs can be reduced because there is no need to hold or dispose of excess inventory. (2) This eliminates the problem of insufficient stock of bonus items, thus preventing lost sales. (3) The accuracy of effectiveness evaluation will improve, leading to the sophistication of marketing strategies.
[0090] Furthermore, the following are examples of the effects on individual customers: (1) Because digital bonuses are stored and collected on individual customers' terminal devices, they can be enjoyed anywhere by always carrying the digital bonuses with them. (2) Similarly, since the digital bonuses are stored and collected on the individual customer's terminal device, they can be enjoyed without worrying about storage space for the digital bonuses. (3) It will be possible to offer unique ways to enjoy 3D design data, such as taking photos of digital bonus items using AR functionality and creating real-world goods based on digital bonus items.
[0091] [Effects of the Embodiment] Thus, according to embodiments of the present invention, in digital marketing, by providing customers with value other than the product or service they are purchasing, that is, by providing customer incentives, it is possible to not only acquire new customers but also cultivate customers who continue to use the product or service, thereby providing marketing support that leads to increased use and sales of the product or service.
