Bag Marketing System with AR Tracking for Sales Measurement
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems lack effective methods to measure the advertising effectiveness of products or services promoted on bags and ensure timely and maximum distribution of these bags to targeted customers, while also encouraging customers to keep and use them.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that involves printing a sourcing company's private label logo or product/service information on bags, including coupons with unique barcodes, QR codes, and social media links, along with inserting marketing collateral in cases, to track redemption and encourage distribution, while ensuring bags are delivered directly to customers and labeled as 'free' to reduce returns.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If bags are distributed to customers without tracking mechanisms, then distribution speed and simplicity are improved, but the ability to measure advertising effectiveness deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses digital replicas and virtual representations of physical bags in an augmented reality environment. Users can interact with virtual bags that contain digital coupons and promotional materials, allowing tracking and measurement of advertising effectiveness without requiring physical distribution of every bag. The system creates digital copies of promotional content that can be tracked, analyzed, and measured precisely.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical tracking methods (physical coupons, manual redemption tracking) with an augmented reality-based digital tracking system. The AR platform uses cameras, sensors, and software to detect, track, and measure user interactions with promotional content on bags, substituting mechanical tracking with optical and computational methods.
2Quantity of substance
If bags are distributed widely without verification, then distribution coverage is improved, but the ability to ensure timely delivery to targeted customers deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The augmented reality system provides real-time feedback on bag distribution and customer receipt. The platform tracks when and where virtual bags are accessed, redeemed, and interacted with, providing immediate data feedback that allows verification of timely delivery to targeted customers while maintaining wide distribution coverage.
3Ease of manufacture
If traditional sales measurement methods are used (comparing same store sales before and after), then implementation simplicity is improved, but measurement precision and reliability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical sales measurement methods (manual sales data collection and comparison) with an augmented reality-based tracking system that automatically measures advertising effectiveness. The AR platform directly tracks customer interactions with promotional content, coupon redemptions, and product engagements, providing reliable and precise measurement data without complex manual processes.
4Loss of energy
If no system exists to encourage customers to keep distributed bags, then distribution cost is reduced, but the effectiveness of the marketing campaign deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The augmented reality system enables customers to self-verify receipt of bags and access promotional content independently. The AR platform allows customers to scan, access, and redeem digital coupons and promotional materials directly from their devices, eliminating the need for manual verification systems while encouraging customers to keep and use the bags through immediate access to valuable promotional content.
Data Source
AI summary
A system and method for providing information in and on cases of bags, on the bags themselves, and for distributing cases of bags and for tracking the sales movement of products or services promoted on the bags.
