楼主Aggregation Bundling:
This concept involves producing a bundle that will appeal to a number of customer segments. Suppose you have four items: A, B, C, and D. One segment strongly prefers the first three, and a second segment strongly prefers the last three. It may be possible to combine all four items into one bundle and price it so that both segments will purchase it, albeit for different reasons. That is, by bundling, you are combining segments of the market with different tastes and preferences into an aggregate segment with a similar valuation for the bundle. The goal is to attract a large market and reduce complexity by having fewer products. The secret is in pricing the bundle so that your comprehensive offering is more attractive than specialized bundles offered by competitors. A corollary of the basic strategy is to produce, in addition, special bundles (or individual items) for smaller market segments at higher prices.
Credit card firms use this strategy. The typical credit card includes a wide variety of services. It is unlikely that a large segment of subscribers actually are interested in all of these services. Customers who travel frequently may value car rental insurance or access to traveler's checks in foreign countries. Others may value a purchase protection plan. They all buy the same card.
Loyalty Bundling:
Here the basic idea is to expand sales by reducing customer incentives to sample and perhaps switch to a competitor's product. CitiCorp has used its CitiOne financial account successfully to this effect. Customers who purchase this account receive a reduced price on a bundle of services. For example, a minimum balance in a money market account gives the customer check writing privileges at no charge. CitiCorp also wins. First, it gains operating efficiencies. It costs about the same amount to open one or several accounts for a customer at the same time. A bundled account opens several accounts simultaneously. Second, Citicorp's research shows that customers who purchase two or more products from the same institution are unusually loyal. Once the accounts are open, the transaction cost to the customer is very low. A person is more apt to move funds from the checking account to the money market fund during a cash transaction than to initiate a new transaction with a competing bank. Thus for no increase in its operating cost, CitiCorp obtains a sales advantage.
Consumer goods firms also package products in order to build manufacturer loyalty, or at least to encourage switching only among their own offerings. Cereal manufacturers offer different "variety packs" geared to adults and children. Each pack has between six and twelve different brands of cereals. Firms satisfy consumer desire for variety while retaining their customers under the broad umbrella of one manufacturer.
我没有找到楼主总结的点---但是公司不应该因为这个而忽略掉那些可以seperate sale的
感觉文章只讲了bundling的好处呀 |
