02、 Money saved “ Good business sense ”

For the wool party , Trumpet and active group , Is the key factor . Zhang Fanyou 5 A trumpet , Cai Wenyou 4 individual , Cai Wenyou 5 Activity group , Zhang Fanyou has more than ten . As a student , Their circle is relatively simple , But each microsignal has also focused on hundreds of official account numbers. , among , Most of them were used to collect wool . Activity group , Is the owner of individuals or robots , Collect all kinds of preferential information and distribute it to the group .

Someone opened a small shop in the dormitory by collecting wool

How much wool can you collect , It depends on the quality of activity resources . Free group , It's usually a small activity for a few yuan , A large number of people ; Group with better resources , There will be a charge , Ten yuan a month , Some also charge about 100 yuan a year . During the epidemic , Zhang Fan also set up a charging group , All kinds of resources you see , Forward to the group at the first time , Single charge 10 element , In the group 200 Many people , Made more than 3000 .

A charging group , Month of group name , Representative monthly fee

This will involve another link , Bill collector .“ Small amount of , such as 5 Yuanjingdong E Card voucher ,4 Sell yuan to the collector , Generally in 9 Fold the around , A large amount of , For example, a 1000 yuan home appliance coupon , be 95 collect .

A free group

Sometimes , They will also use some external forces , For example, worship a great God , Learn to design a program that can always point red envelopes , etc. .

Collecting wool is not without risk , Zhang Fan heard , Someone who collected coupons was reported and arrested , There is also a leader of the wool flock , Circled more than 200000 and ran away .

Although the wool has been collected for a long time , Zhang Fan's college tuition and living expenses do not need to be paid by his parents , But it takes a lot of time on the phone , Zhang Fan feels himself “ Lazy ”,“ Used to a life where you can make money lying down .”

In Liu Lian's words ,“ In many interests , Someone paid for it , Harvested traffic , Someone reaped money , It took time .”

03、 From brushing bills to collecting wool

Collecting wool became a business , It also forms a huge flow depression .

Now , On major social platforms , You can see many bloggers who teach young people to save money . Search wool collection introduction , There can be all kinds of money saving teaching . When did the wool gathering become so hot ？

The wool party business is not new , It first came from “ Brush the single ” Evolved .

Generally speaking , At Taobao 、 Tmall 、 Jingdong and other e-commerce platforms , Sales and praise , It is the main reference for users to shop . therefore , Bill brushing has become an industrial chain . In the past , The way many stores take , Ask the Navy for help . However, e-commerce platforms are increasingly cracking down on bill swiping , Once found , The shop number and the bill reader's number will be sealed . therefore , The other is low cost 、 Fast and safe promotion methods have emerged .

The industry calls it “ Amoy ”. Its core model , Is to use a product with preferential price , To offset sales and praise . The cost of this model , It's not higher than the Navy brush .

“ The shopkeeper doesn't make money from the people who collect wool , They are even willing to cry at a loss . The purpose of the store , It was after the wave of people who collected wool brought up the sales , Make the next wave of people's money . And users attracted by Taoke , It's all true .” Some people in the industry have pointed out that .

Shopkeeper , In this way , Low cost converged traffic . consumer , You can buy good bargains . Seemingly win-win business , But there are bigger winners , Promoters .

such as , Ali has Taobao Alliance , Jingdong also has jingpick customers , Responsible for marketing promotion . The store will sign with these alliances , Set Commission 、 Return proportion , Since then, someone has helped promote it .

According to industry insiders , Generally speaking , The alliance will charge the store 20% Commission , The rest 80% Divided by promoters . in other words , The bulk of the Commission , Will fall into the pockets of promoters , Promoters can be groups or individuals . If the promotion is enthusiastic , Individual tweeters also earn a lot of money .

To increase user stickiness , They often lead shopping users to join APP, Gather wool together . Over the past few years , There are many specialized in the market APP, Bring together all major e-commerce platforms . Peanut diary 、 Money saving Express 、 The High Commission 、 Sesame whale selection 、 Online shopping Alliance 、 A rush 、 save , All in this list . In these Taoke APP in , There are all kinds of products from tmall 、 JD.COM 、 Juhuasuan 、 A lot of spelling 、 Hungry wool goods , The prices of many commodities are more than 20% cheaper than those on the market .

This kind of APP It's addictive , The viscosity is also very high . It is often used “ Pull the man's head ” The way of promotion .

This model was first developed from 2013、2014 Year begins , In recent years , Found by more and more people , One of the core reasons behind , Is the economic downturn , Many people are beginning to be short of money . And after COVID-19 , Young people have joined the wool army , It should have injected strong purchasing power into the business again .

But according to Zhang Fan and Cai Wen , It's not so easy to collect wool now ,“ The main people who once entered were Xiaobai , Receive coupons , But now it is obvious that there are many professionals 、 The team is doing , Professional wool party ”. Besides , Social platforms such as wechat are more strictly regulated , They also lost a lot of positions .

Now , All kinds of enterprises 、 Platforms have also grasped this hidden danger “ To save money ” Traffic password in . Open a APP, Pull new users to receive red envelopes 、 Sign in for prizes 、 Share friend benefits , Reward for watching video , It became a one-off action .

The flow dividend is being lost , If users have new requirements , A new flow depression will slowly form . But when the promotion gradually tends to be homogeneous , Attract users only by various promotion strategies , It may not attract more and more intelligent target users , Can only attract a group of wool parties .
