考虑在线评论的产品定制和定价策略研究

    Research on Product Customization and Pricing Strategy Considering Online Reviews

    • 摘要: 考虑用户评论的影响,研究在线销售企业是否应该进行产品定制、如何对不同产品进行定价,以及在线评论如何影响相关决策。根据消费者的个性化程度,将市场划分为普通型消费者和求异型消费者。考虑这两类消费者对产品质量和外观的二维异质性偏好,分别构建企业利润最大化模型,求解标准产品与定制产品的均衡定价策略。分析结果表明,1) 当消费者对产品质量的支付意愿以及产品单位不匹配成本较高时,企业应选择定制产品策略以满足消费者的个性化需求。随着产品真实质量提高,在线评论的存在使得企业越来越倾向于产品定制。2) 定制产品的价格并不总是高于标准产品的价格。当消费者对匹配维度与产品质量的相对支付意愿较低时,不论产品真实质量高低,标准产品的价格都有可能高于定制产品;3) 不进行产品定制时,若产品真实质量较低,评论信息会降低产品的价格和利润。而进行产品定制时,在线评论开放决策还与消费者的相对质量感知有关,当消费者的相对质量感知较高时,不论产品真实质量高低,评论信息都会使定制产品的价格和利润降低,企业应该关闭评论。

       

      Abstract: The influence of user reviews was analyzed to determine whether product customization should be adopted by online sales enterprise, how differentiated pricing should be established, and how online reviews affect these strategic decisions. the consumer market was segmented into conventional and uniqueness-seeking categories based on personalization preference levels. The market is segmented into ordinary consumers and uniqueness-seeking consumers based on their level of personalization. Considering a two-dimensional heterogeneity preference of these two types of consumers for product quality and appearance, the profit maximization models are constructed respectively to solve the equilibrium pricing strategy of standard products and customized products. The results indicate that: 1) When there is a high consumer willingness to pay for quality and a significant mismatch cost per unit, the enterprise should choose customized product strategy to meet the individual needs of consumers. With the improvement of the actual quality of products, the existence of online reviews will make the enterprise more and more inclined to product customization. 2) The price of customized products is not always higher than the price of standard products. When consumers' relative willingness to pay for matching dimension and product quality is low, the price of standard products is likely to be higher than that of customized products, regardless of the actual quality. 3) When the product is not customized, if the actual quality of the product is low, the comment information will reduce the price and profit of the product. When product customization is carried out, in addition to the actual quality, the decision to open online reviews is also related to the relative quality perception of consumers. When the relative quality perception of consumers is high, regardless of the actual quality of the product, the comment information will reduce the price and profit of customized products, and enterprise should close online reviews.
