Recently, APPs such as [Saving Money Express] and [Fanli.com] have become more and more popular. The main reason is that there are large discount coupons for the products in them, and there are additional rebates after purchase. And clicking in will wake up the Taobao app, and the stores inside are indeed Taobao Tmall's real stores, so they are indeed very attractive.
We who saw the preferential prices are actually very clear that the prices of such items must be inflated, and then give large discounts to stimulate users' desire to buy.
But what is worrying is that if we do not use this method, but just enter the store from the Taobao Tmall app, when referring to the number of transactions and comments, will we, who are in the price blind spot, think that his real price is like this, for example It is said that programmers like us who are straight male programmers must know nothing about girls' cosmetics, and must give gifts based on sales reviews and hearsay, so it is easy to step on the pit. The light ones waste money, and the serious ones lose love. If the shrew in the family is like a tiger, she will be beaten and hospitalized directly. Do you know why I haven't updated my blog for half a year? I just sent a dead Barbie fan...
for example:
Does it seem quite tall? The price of the Tmall flagship store is 1029.9 , and the sales reviews are OK. However, after entering through a special channel, take the Alimama Taobao customer promotion alliance as an example:
29.9 can really be bought, and they are all operated on the Taobao APP, not a phishing app. That is, the real selling price of such items is 29.9
Moreover, as a promotion app, you can also get a certain amount of rebates.
It can be seen how much this item is worth and whether its quality can be guaranteed.
At present, Taobao, Tmall, JD.com and other major e-commerce companies are all promoting this model. Whether you are a self-media or app software, you can easily obtain various products and discounts through the API or background provided by them. Volume and other information. Carry out secondary promotion.
In other words, simply entering the store through channels such as Taobao and Tmall already has a great consumption risk. Whether the price in the promotion app is the most authentic and transparent is still unknown to us.
Although I was prepared to do development work on similar products, I really didn't like this model. We have turned the originally simple game of selling and buying into an extremely complex game. Engage in various activities in different ways, raise the price, and then offer more discounts. If we want to buy an item well, we have to work hard and do all kinds of calculations.
The real harm is not here, it is that we are less and less afraid to consume, we will never know whether the price we are facing is the most real price, the trading system of this society is gradually collapsing, and we will all become one of them of victims. The routine is constantly being updated and iterated. As long as you are not careful and do not keep up with it, you will become a lamb to be slaughtered. Bearing the hurt silently, spending money wasted is one aspect, and on the other hand, we often speculate on its own quality based on the price in front of us, and the huge price gap often brings about a huge gap in quality.
