在此逻辑下，即时零售可以强化入口之争，也可以补充商品和服务。而如何把即时零售与既有业务串联起来，除了需要流量协同、组织协同，以及漫长的 涉及到商品供给、履约的业务打通，同样需要人群运营上的协同——很大程度上，一个统一的大会员系统，扮演的就是人群协同这个层面的作用。 比如，三家都会在大促时发放大额券，都有越来越多的生活服务权益，但是88VIP逐渐将大额券日常化，以及随着淘宝拓展到即时零售，新增了许多动态 的小额补贴，未来将更强调权益分层；京东PLUS则更聚焦优质商品和刚需服务权益的扩充。 与前两者都差异较大的，是一直聚焦本地生活的美团会员。美团会员最突出的特征是可以非常灵活地对用户进行动态补贴，7月5日临时给消费者发放多张 0元奶茶、咖啡券，就是具体体现。以及，它对包括酒旅在内的其他本地权益的拆分是最细致的。 在即时零售成为互联网平台最显性的竞争焦点的时候，我们还是要注意到，即时零售只是各平台业务的其中一部分，应该用更全局的视角理解阿里、京 东、美团三家在做和想要做什么，与即时零售同期发生的是什么，即时零售与他们在产生什么关联。 如我们在《争夺大消费入口：阿里、京东、美团越来越像》里提到的，三家会逐渐进化为一个 ...
