Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention aims to provide a marketing method that stimulates a desire for ownership in consumers and highlights collectible value and scarcity by configuring a teddy bear with a specific sports theme as a limited edition. In particular, it aims to strengthen the emotional bond between consumers and the brand and secure loyal customers by including a system that can prove ownership of the teddy bear through physical products, NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens), and social media. Background Technology

[0002] Marketing for existing limited-edition character products typically focuses on the sale of physical goods to stimulate consumers' desire for ownership. However, traditional methods have limitations in inducing continuous interaction between consumers and brands, and suffer from the disadvantage of failing to extend the concept of ownership into the digital environment.

[0003] The present invention overcomes these limitations and provides a differentiated consumption experience by utilizing NFT (Non-Fungible Token) and SNS platforms to enable consumers to simultaneously own physical products and digital assets and prove this online. The problem to be solved

[0005] Traditional limited-edition product marketing is limited to physical products and faces limitations in inducing continuous interaction between consumers and brands. Furthermore, the lack of clear methods to prove product ownership makes it difficult to verify authenticity during secondary transactions. To address these issues, a new marketing strategy combining physical products with NFTs is required. means of solving the problem

[0006] The present invention solves existing problems through the following method.

[0008] NFT-based Digital Ownership Verification: Upon purchasing a limited edition product, a blockchain-based NFT is issued to the consumer to authenticate ownership of the physical product as a digital asset. This allows for clear verification of the product's authenticity and ownership.

[0010] Formation of a brand community linked to social media: Promotes continuous interaction between the brand and consumers by encouraging consumers to authenticate and share their NFTs and limited edition products on social media.

[0012] Emotional marketing utilizing storytelling: Assign a unique background story to each product and provide it via digital cards or booklets to strengthen the emotional bond between consumers and the brand.

[0014] Limited Edition Sales and Scarcity Strategies: Selling products in limited quantities and for a limited period to encourage consumer purchasing decisions, and providing specific NFT holders with priority purchase rights or additional rewards. Effects of the invention

[0015] The marketing system of the present invention strengthens consumers' desire to purchase by providing collectible value through limited editions, and offers an experience differentiated from existing marketing by combining physical and digital ownership. By utilizing NFTs and social media, it can enhance interaction and loyalty among consumers and form an emotional bond between the brand and consumers, thereby increasing the awareness of the Spogel brand.

[0017] Maximizing Ownership Value: Combining physical products with NFTs to provide higher collectible value than existing limited edition products.

[0019] Strengthening Brand Loyalty: Utilizing storytelling and social media marketing to enable consumers to form an emotional bond with the product.

[0021] Providing a differentiated consumption experience: Offering a continuous brand experience even after purchase by guaranteeing both digital and physical ownership.

[0023] Scarcity-based purchasing inducement: Facilitating consumer purchasing decisions by utilizing limited edition strategies

[0025] Community Activation and Viral Effects: Creating natural viral marketing effects by utilizing social media and online platforms to induce sharing and participation among consumers. Specific details for implementing the invention

[0027] The marketing method of the present invention is specifically implemented in the following manner.

[0028] 1. Production of limited edition characters

[0029] We produce sports-themed teddy bears (e.g., soccer, basketball, tennis, etc.) and assign a unique serial number to each product to authenticate them as limited editions. The products include the brand logo and accessories matching the specific theme to reinforce brand identity.

[0030] 2. NFT Issuance and Management

[0031] When a consumer purchases a limited edition product, a blockchain-based NFT is issued to the buyer's digital wallet. The NFT includes the owner's information, the product's unique serial number, and a function to verify authenticity.

[0032] 3. Social Media and Community-Linked Marketing

[0033] We conduct events that encourage consumers to share NFTs and physical products on social media. We strengthen brand loyalty by establishing an exclusive community for NFT holders. We promote voluntary promotion by consumers through social media verification events after purchase.

[0034] 4. Operation of Limited Edition Sales Strategy

[0035] To maintain scarcity, products are produced in small quantities, and NFT holders are granted priority purchasing rights. The right to purchase additional limited editions is granted only to users holding specific NFTs within a certain period.

[0036] 5. Combination of digital and physical experiences

[0037] Buyers can verify their ownership online through NFTs and utilize them to receive special benefits provided by the brand (e.g., event invitations, provision of additional content, etc.). In the future, it can be expanded so that NFT owners can receive special benefits within the brand's metaverse environment.
