网络零售商赢利的五种模式

美国《电子商务时代》杂志最近发表一篇特别报道,着重分析了5家网络零售商赢利的主要原因,并指出“实行多渠道整合营销”和“提供个性化服务”,是当前“鼠标加水泥”电子商务模式应遵循的基本准则。现在,每天充斥于耳边的是高科技人才的失业和低迷的财务前景报告。经济衰退、股价暴跌以及持续增加的.com公司的倒闭,的确令人心烦意乱。但是,在这种大环境下,依然有一批电子商务站点走在了新经济的前面。这些公司不仅在股市震荡时期存活下来,而且还在赚钱。对它们来说,问题不是利润何时会到来,而是利润多少的问题。
Sharperimage.com:独特的品牌价值

   采用“鼠标加水泥”模式的SharperImage公司,在网上成功的原因可以归结为两个方面:独特的价值和高额利润。SharperImage传统商店建立的“独一无二”的品牌形象,驱使网络购物者访问其网站并从中购买商品。相反,众多网络零售商很晚才意识到,他们的访问者没有购买商品的原因,是他们在线提供的商品随处都可轻易买到。

   “在某些方面,SharperImage提供的商品是独一无二的,”Yankee集团在线零售分析师PaulRitter表示,“它提供的商品对消费者来讲,不是随便可以在其他网络零售商的站点上找到的,有些甚至不可能找得到。”Sharperimage.com网站的在线销售额非常可观。在2000财政年度,该公司的网上销售额从1999年度的2850万美元上升到6020万美元,增幅111%;此外,年度净利润上升了87%,到达1740万美元,每股增值1.33美元。

   Homestore.com:创造盈利能力

   另一家成功的.com公司是互联网房产巨人Homestore.com。它在网络房产销售市场的统治地位,是所有公司进军该领域的巨大障碍。Homestore.com的站点群包括Realtor.com(它在线出售将近140万户房屋)和HomeFair.com(它提供搬家服务)。虽然不是典型的“鼠标加水泥”模式,但Homestore和美国房产经纪人协会达成了唯一的合作伙伴关系,成为网上访问量最高的房产网络。但是真正使它区别于其他网站的,是它的盈利能力。作为一家上市公司,Homestore2000年已经实现了增长213%佳绩,并且在第四季度每股现金收益达4美分。在2001年,该公司希望营业额达到3.4亿至3.5亿美元,每股预计收益37到40美分。Homestore是如何抵制经济衰退的?事实上这家公司遵循了一句传统的商业格言:如果你不想和竞争者肩并肩前进,就买下它们。按照这个准则,Homestore通过那些被收购的公司,包括最近的Move.com,建立起了自己庞大的帝国。Homestore还与美国在线建立了合作伙伴关系,成为这家巨型门户网站在美国唯一的专业房产和搬家服务商。

   Landsend.com:倚重个性化购物

   另一家“鼠标加水泥”的公司——服装业的Lands’End公司,在网上的盈利能力也值得称道。Landsend.com从1995年建立时开始,就一直保持盈利。这家网站在客户服务方面的领先地位,尤其是它能够为顾客创造出色的网络购物体验,受到了行业分析家的一致称赞。该站点的突出特点包括库存预告、订单跟踪服务以及“个性化购物”功能,帮助顾客找到独特的商品。这些优点使Landsend.com的在线销售额在上个财政年度上升了60%,从1.38亿美元上升到2.18亿美元。在去年的财政报告中,该公司预计毛利润将继续保持上升势头。Landsend.com还预计,下一个财政年度中,增股后的每股收益将至少达到20美分。根据Anderson专业服务公司最近对电子商务顾客的调查,将近半数认为,拥有传统商店的网络零售商提供的客户服务更好。超过3/4的反馈意见说,他们和网络零售商同时通过在线和离线的方式联系。这说明,现在的电子商务已经不是“纯粹的网络运营”了。

   “意识到必须听取客户的意见,并且不单是从自身渠道与客户进行互动沟通的公司,将在这场长时间的角逐中获得成功,”Anderson的管理董事JoeO’Leary说,“客户决定他们将怎样和你沟通,应该让客户决定他们希望使用的渠道。”

   EddieBauer.com:整合跨渠道信息

   为了在新的电子商务环境下繁荣发展,网络零售商必须整合他们所有跨渠道的客户信息和产品信息,并将每个客户都作为学习的机会,这是EddieBauer.com出色的地方。“如果我从EddieBauer.com订货,我可以和他们的网上代表交流。他们的代表知道我在网上做了些什么,并能给我个性化的产品信息,”O’Leary说。EddieBauer.com表示,它2000年的网上销售是盈利的,并希望2001年也能如此。该公司的电子商务销售额在2000年第四季度上升了120%。同时,EddieBauer.com和客户关系的加强,也阻止了客户流失到其他网站。

   “每次他们建议某件商品,我都会买下来,并且非常喜欢。他们增加了客户转换成本,”O’Leary说,“我不大会去找别的网络零售商,因为他们的产品非常讲究,就像专门为我提供的一样。”

   CheapTickets.com:价格比较拉住顾客

   对消费者来说,网络最有价值的一点是可以进行及时的价格比较。因此,很多传统商店深受其“害”:顾客可以到传统商店试一下产品,然后到网上购买其他商店更便宜的同样产品。在线的机票和宾馆预订站点就不会有这种问题,即使是像CheapTickets一样“鼠标加水泥”的公司。作为寻找最低价格的地方,旅行站点通常会从航空公司或宾馆获得收益。这种模式对航空公司和宾馆也有利,帮助它们减少空位带来的损失。CheapTickets公布,截至2000财政年度12月,每股收益51美分。该公司2000年的网络预订业务,较上年增加了78%,总金额2.554亿美元。该公司说,通过其站点预订的增长速度高于其他任何渠道。对于像CheapTickets一样的旅行票务站点来说,关键问题是他们必须阻止客户转到竞争对手那里去。根据O’Leary的看法,旅行站点需要遵循EddieBauers和Victoria’sSecrets使用的商业模式。“他们必须从每笔交易中研究他们的客户,并且积极提升这种关系。”

电子商务的六种模式

电子商务的六种模式

分析电子商务,首先就要对各种模式进行归类,谁让归类是人们认识世界的基本看法呢?(植物学就是从分类开始的)。
以下的各种模式,我认为都是很成功,有前途的模式,只不过跨多种模式,就有不专注之嫌。
其一,直接销售模式。这种模式是最严格意义的电子商务。从上游批来货品(或者自己制造),放在网站上面销售,赚取差价。这是电子商务的最正统,最核心的模式,也是其他的所有的模式的基本形式。不错,好模式!
其一,黄页模式。这种模式把用户感兴趣的商家信息罗列,供用户使用。它的特点是信息可穷举,更新少。比方说,在一个城市,餐馆的数量是可以估计的,并且按照点评类网站的估计,餐饮业每年的更新比例为10%,其他的行业会更低一些。这种模式的盈利主要以登录收费为主。这个模式在信息发布成本相对高的时候(比如互联网初期)还比较好,但是在随便一个商家都可以廉价发布信息的时候,就显得潜力不足。最近的黄页模式加入了点评(比如大众点评网),或者加入了本地,小区的概念(比如燕窝网,回龙观社区),使最古老的电子商务模式重新焕发了生机。不错,好模式!
其一,打折券模式。这种模式和黄页模式非常类似,但是打折券模式(Coupon)的信息是活的,更新频繁;黄页模式是死的,不可变。而且打折券模式的信息更加多样,更加有时间性,也就导致信息变得不可穷举。打折券模式并不一定会出现打折券,比如新店开业,促销,新品等等信息的发布,给传统黄页模式注入新的元素。不错,好模式!
其一,佣金模式。这种模式并不直接销售,而是通过汇集用户,向其他电子商务模式的网站提供订单的用户,并且按照某种事先或者事后约定的规则,获取佣金。佣金可能是按单,按百分比,按用户数等等。而积累用户,又有很多模式。比如说Shopping.com, askyaya.com的比较购物模式,Qunar.com的直接查询模式,豆瓣的内容社区模式等等。最终的销售还是在其他的网站上面,只管送人过去,之后就拍拍手,什么事情都不做了,只管收钱。收入和成本线并不直接关联,有明显的边际效应。不错,好模式!
其一,预定模式。这种模式和佣金模式非常类似,不同的是,这种模式在佣金模式中的用户和商家之间,硬生生的插入了一个服务层来。通过提供优秀的预订服务,让用户先付钱到网站,然后再分给下游。比如携程,就是典型的加了一个服务层来。这个层,成本比佣金模式的没有这一层高出不少(携程的千人呼叫中心就是),但是收入更加大幅的增加,因为抓住了用户,议价能力迅速提高,向上要挟供货商提高佣金,向下提高零售价格(携程现在的价格远不是最低的,而是靠买自己的服务),就像沃尔玛在传统零售业一样。携程模式因为加了服务,更适合中国。不过当这一层逐渐增大的时候,就是上下游都在寻找替代者的时候。这种模式介于正统的C2C和B2C之间的模式。不错,好模式!
其一,市场模式。这种模式,其实就是平台模式,或者C2C模式。菜场比不得百货公司,更不是超市,它只是提供一个地方,供所有商家在这个地方摆摊。一个菜市场里面有5-6家卖黄瓜,互相竞争,共同生存很正常,而在其他的B2C模式中,这种现象就显得奇怪。菜场因为完全不介入销售过程,仅仅提供清洁,安全等基本服务。收费也主要以场地费用为主。这种模式,可扩展性很好,但是也是发展起来需要耐心的模式。不错,好模式!
还有吗?大家补充。。。
注:单纯学术性的讨论有多少种模式就像孔乙己对于回字的几种写法的关心一样毫无意义。重要的不是区分,或者争论到底是那种模式,重要的是思考每种模式不同的运作特点,盈利模式,运营的关注点等等。每种模式的运营其实是有巨大的差别的。用一种模式的做法去做另外一种模式,就比较危险。谁让这几种模式的差异又那么小呢?做的时候,常犯的错误是看着一种模式的好,忘了他的弱点来。帖子的其余部分

Blog-Related Analysis

Blog-Related Analysis

Whether or not you have a blog, the related analysis is important to track how your business and brand are being discussed to better understand your consumers' perspective:

  • Monitor the Web for references to your brand, key officers, and major competitors:
    Set up tracking on Google News Alerts, Technorati, and PubSub. You must be able to react to relevant topics brewing in the blogosphere before they become full-blown issues. Involve PR in this process, and respond quickly and decisively to engage bloggers.
  • Analyze comments, links, and trackbacks (define) to determine the relative importance of audience perceptions. Use tools such as Intelliseek's BlogPulse or a firm such as BuzzMetrics. This analysis will help determine who the influencers are and what their connectivity level is.
    Analyze broader category or product information. Consumers may discuss products in general terms, without using brand names or model numbers. So narrow tracking may not reveal the full picture. Monitor the information landscape to determine the macro trends and issues that influence buyers and the language they use. A food producer may check for terms such as "diet" and "low carb," for example. According to Julie Woods, Cymfony EVP, "Ongoing trend analysis examines the conversations to find relevant information that can be used to guide marketing strategy." It can reveal pain points, consumer language around your product, market changes, and competitive actions. In turn, these findings can direct your marketing and creative approach. They may also reveal other terms you should be tracking.
  • Blogs create more opportunities, and more challenges. As with any communications strategy, consider what you hope to achieve from consumer engagement. Don't ignore blogs until something blows up! Use them as another way to listen to and involve customers. People talk about you in the blogosphere; use the opportunity to influence the conversation.

Blog Marketing Strategies

Blog Marketing Strategies
Regardless of your product, blogs can be an integral part of a marketing strategy. This doesn't necessarily mean running out to start one. There are other ways to harness this fast-growing medium's power:

  • Gather market intelligence. Monitor public buzz to determine how your brand and close competitors are faring. Knowing where, why, and how you're being trashed (or praised) in a public forum allows you to respond appropriately -- and quickly. Any angry customer or disgruntled former employee can launch a blog at no cost. They may even get higher search rankings than your brand.
  • Engage bloggers by commenting on key business topics. Read blogs related to your product or company to understand the blogger's perspective and audience. Strategically respond to postings to initiate dialogue. More genuine that a PR pitch, this approach can also help correct misinformation.
  • Advertise on blogs to reach influencials, target a niche audience, or extend a media buy's reach. Though only about 25 percent of Internet users (about 32 million) currently read blogs, they tend to influence other's thinking. Bloglines readers check an average of 20 blogs daily. Informal BlogAds research shows blog readers are high consumers of expensive, well-researched content, such as The Economist and The New Yorker. "Blog advertising can engage an important niche," says Morra Aarons, Edelman VP, "enabling you to reach a critical market segment or to broaden the impact of your marketing spend."Blogs vary in size, approach, and ad opportunities. You can advertise directly on a blog that reaches your target market or through an advertising network such as BlogAds or Pheedo. Banners and text copy must be contextually relevant. As users visit often, it's important to change ad content frequently to prevent impression fatigue. One option is create a dialogue with a series of related ads.
  • Humanize your company with corporate blogs. One or more employees, the CEO included, may blog. Corporate blogs require a level of transparency. As a result, they may not work for all types of companies. Corporate bloggers must have access to, and support from, senior management, PR, and legal.
  • Build business or brand by connecting with consumers. Both small businesses and major corporations can use blogs to build closer relationships with their customers. Best Buy created the entertaining Slothmore Institute. The only connection to Best Buy is the sponsored ads.
