Abstract

The social curation service that selectively provides information generated by individuals or groups with the same interests can have a synergistic effect when combined with the recently used SNS-based chatting function. If these kinds of chatting-based curation technologies are applied to the Internet shopping malls, particularly, buyers can obtain more reliable information in real time basis, and sellers can provide them with more differentiated and rich information in a continuous manner. This research suggests a chatting-based commerce platform that provides the social curation service based on chats among sellers, existing buyers, and potential buyers. The proposed commerce platform can organize a chat channel for each store and product not only to immediately respond to new and existing customer inquiries about stores, brands, and detailed products, but also to continuously activate differentiated sales strategies to customers subscribed to the channel. In particular, MongoDB is used to permanently save and archive the information and chatting history of each channel, so that the buyer can search and refer to them recorded in the corresponding channel at any time.

동일한 관심사를 갖는 개인 또는 그룹에서 생성 및 공유한 정보를 선별하여 제공하는 소셜큐레이션 서비스는, 최근 많이 사용되고 있는 SNS 기반 채팅 기능과 접목될 경우 시너지적 효과를 기대할 수 있다. 특히 이러한 기술이 제품 및 서비스를 판매하는 인터넷 쇼핑몰에 적용될 경우, 구매자는 채팅을 통해 보다 신뢰할 수 있는 정보를 실시간으로 제공받을 수 있으며, 판매자는 자사 제품 및 서비스에 관심을 갖는 고객에게 차별적이고 풍부한 정보를 지속적으로 제공할 수 있다. 본 연구는 소셜 큐레이션 서비스를 채팅 기반으로 제공하는 대화형 상거래 플랫폼을 제시한다. 제시된 상거래 플랫폼은 상점 및 상품별로 채팅 채널을 구성하여 상점 및 브랜드, 그리고 세부 상품에 대한 신규 및 기존 고객의 문의에 실시간으로 대응할 수 있고, 해당 채널에 가입된 고객에게 차별화된 판매전략을 지속적으로 구사할 수 있도록 구성되었다. 특히 MongoDB를 이용하여 채널별 수록된 정보와 채팅 내역이 반영구적으로 저장 및 보관되도록 하여, 구매자가 언제든 해당 채널에 수록된 제품 정보와 채팅 내역을 검색 및 참고할 수 있도록 구성하였다.
