Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If traditional advertising models are used to promote brand awareness, then viewers can be directed to search for products online, but there is little flow-on benefit for broadcasters from secondary product purchases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback by providing unique promotion codes to viewers that link back to the broadcaster. When viewers use these codes for purchases, the broadcaster receives commercial gain through tracked transactions, creating a feedback loop that connects advertising exposure to actual sales revenue.
Solution Approach 2:
The unique promotion code acts as an intermediary element between the broadcaster and the viewer's purchasing decision. The code bridges the gap between traditional advertising and e-commerce, enabling the broadcaster to capture commercial value from viewer purchases without directly interfering in the transaction process.
2Adaptability or versatility
If social media engagement is encouraged through hashtags and profile interactions, then viewer participation increases, but the connection between media content and commercial purchase opportunities is weakened
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges social media engagement mechanisms with commercial tracking by integrating unique promotion codes into the viewer interaction flow. Viewers can engage with content through social media while the promotion code system simultaneously tracks their purchasing behavior, combining engagement and commerce into a unified system.
3Adaptability or versatility
If streaming media and online content are added to broadcast platforms, then content variety increases, but advertising relevance and lucrativeness decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies dynamics by adapting the promotion code delivery mechanism to different content formats and delivery methods. Whether content is delivered via traditional broadcast, streaming, or online platforms, the dynamic promotion code system adjusts to maintain advertising effectiveness across diverse content delivery formats.
