Derivative spam: is pioneering new favorites or disguised pyramid schemes?

 

CNDSN February 6th news (China Economic Net Zhang Wu) there is a group of people cold remind you to add clothing, holiday blessing you rich, even as spring season reminds you eat Chunbing, good morning good night brush does not stop, is the circle of friends as the existence of God, of course, is most essential, is published in thousands of inclusion care products advertisement. For this group, we must not strange, they are derivative.

Micro business and not just sell products in the circle of friends of the people. MSI CEO Sun Taoyong said: "derivative generalized to refer to all the expansion of media in society's business, and the derivative in the narrow sense refers to the early through the circle of friends set up shop, this group of people buying, namely small self-employed agent." Thus, derivative is not limited to WeChat electric, generally refers to a "person" as a unit, the use of vector channel derived Web3.0 era, the traditional way of combining with the Internet, does not exist the regional restrictions, small individual behavior and mobility to achieve new breakthroughs in sales channels.

Micro business management mode

"As long as a mobile phone, apply a mask, even with WiFi, gnawing watermelon, drink cold drinks, carefree and leisurely brush micro-blog, have a look the television dramas, minutes and then single, money rushing into account flow. Free time, income does not cap." Emerge in an endless stream derivative advertising similar, the selling point is the low threshold, time is short, less investment, high profit.

These two years, behind the rapid growth in the number of micro business, is the rapid development of mobile internet. According to Analysys report data shows, 2014 China Mobile shopping user scale exceeded 300000000, the growth rate of more than 35%, higher than the PC shopping user growth rate of 25%, mobile shopping transaction scale close to 10 trillion, growth rate reached 270%. The number of users at the same time WeChat has more than 650000000, more than 470000000 monthly active users. In such a large user population support, as did depend on the development of PC terminal and exponentially growing Taobao, rapid development of derivative is inevitable.

But different from the traditional business is that the derivative reflected the strong "social attribute". Whether it is a circle of friends, Twitter or QQ and so on, derivative is taken "social + business" model. This model makes full use of social interaction and user stickiness, strengthen the user relevance through social networking platform to create and acquaintances, and then sell the goods.

In addition to a small range of acquaintances, or a related group of users, derivative can also use the subscription relationship management. That is a public subscription, the establishment of a micro shop, by the user's attention can produce the consumer behavior, also called micro store. This is taking the derivative mode of B2C, which is below the line moved to online shop, online shop, selling all kinds of commodities. Reporters were in the micro letter "to find the public" enter "proxy" two words, you will find hundreds of recruitment agencies micro shop goods mainly focus on cosmetics, clothing, luxury fields. The public, "functional description" column appeared "top brands, high-quality supply, overseas authentic, XX agent" and other words.

Micro business Is it right? Disguised pyramid

According to Analysys International Statistics, at present the micro business practitioners has reached tens of millions of people, in 2014 the derivative market there is a staggering 150000000000 scale. With such a huge market capacity, the dispute also followed. The most obvious thing, derivative what is new venture or disguised pyramid schemes?

The personage inside course of study expresses, derivative from the date of birth on the show a spurt of development, provides a new sales channels for business. Through acquaintances to pass from mouth to mouth, derivative can be quickly accumulated reputation and brand communication, but also can enhance both the buyer and the seller, communication and interaction between the user and the. More importantly, compared to operating costs and other traditional sales channels can be greatly reduced.

But as a commercial hot emerging, at the same time, the rapid development of micro business also questioned. Micro business has developed rapidly, the formation of such a large scale, largely with the layers of agent model inseparable. In one of the most fire field derivative product mask as an example. The netizen leaves a message say: "derivative 90% sold in the mask, 90% of which is the whitening mask." The intermediate links of mask is the general agent, an agent, two agents can even be infinite agent. Manufacturers of low cost production of the film, set high retail price, the middle for very attractive prices space. The general agent of the cheap stock, an agent with money to take over, then sell two agents, layer by layer development off the assembly line on. The personage inside course of study concluded: "any one thing as a carrier can be, as long as have three conditions: often use and repeat purchase, convenient logistics express and slightly characteristics." In theory, if can continue to develop offline, even without a mask can also. This was widely criticized derivative is easy to fall into the trap of the reasons mlm.

Even if the derivative sales is genuine, but due to the lack of strict supervision means, product quality is also very difficult to guarantee. Most micro business without the entity shop, store the information incomplete, consumers can only rely on is only on the seller's "trust" and "the conscience of the seller". Even consumers buy fake later rights is also very difficult. But for the seller, if involved in pyramid schemes, also need to face legal sanctions. MSI CEO Sun Taoyong pointed out that the derivative savage growth need to borrow the Convention to strengthen self-discipline, is the distribution of micro key business development, but in need of technical means to regulate.

Also the personage inside course of study expresses, after all the physical product, not killed derivative with a stick "pyramid schemes". But the mobile social networking business is supposed to be established on the basis of integrity. In addition to industry related laws and regulations, the timely introduction of the outer, micro business own self-discipline is also very important. At the same time, also need some technical means to supplement. *
