Core Viewpoint - The article emphasizes the need for a systematic solution to the pricing control challenges faced by the beauty salon product industry, considering its unique characteristics such as professionalism, high premium, and complex distribution channels [1][2]. Pricing System Construction - Scientific pricing strategies should be based on costs (raw materials, R&D, marketing), competitor prices, and consumer willingness to pay, utilizing cost-plus or value-based pricing methods to highlight professionalism and scarcity [1]. - Multi-tiered pricing should differentiate between online/offline and distributor/flagship store channels, establishing a minimum advertised price (MAP) to avoid price conflicts [1]. - Dynamic price adjustments should leverage big data to monitor market fluctuations and adjust prices flexibly around promotional events [1]. Channel Management and Authorization Control - A strict authorization system should be established, allowing only professional beauty salons and brand flagship stores to sell products, with clear contractual price terms and penalties for violations [3]. - A traceability mechanism should be implemented to prevent cross-region low-price dumping through logistics coding or regional restrictions [3]. Distributor Agreement Management - Agreements with distributors should include price constraints, penalties for breaches, and regular audits of sales records [4]. Technology Monitoring and Data-Driven Approaches - An all-network price monitoring system should be deployed to track pricing across platforms [6]. - AI monitoring tools, such as price crawlers and image recognition for unauthorized use, should be utilized to detect price anomalies in real-time [7]. - Unique traceability codes should be embedded in product packaging to allow consumers to verify authenticity and track sales channels [8]. - Image comparison technology should be used to identify unauthorized sellers using official images, combined with product authenticity checks [9]. Legal Rights Protection and Administrative Measures - Intellectual property complaints should be filed against infringing links, demanding removal and penalties for sellers [12]. - A strategy for counter-complaints should be developed to trace back to sellers providing false authorizations and collaborate with law enforcement [12]. - Administrative and judicial routes should be pursued to report low-price dumping and take legal action against malicious infringers [12]. Brand Building and Consumer Education - Strengthening recognition of genuine products through brand storytelling, ingredient education, and professional endorsements can enhance product premium capabilities [12]. - Initiatives for "genuine product identification" should be launched to educate consumers on authorized channels and anti-counterfeiting measures [12]. - A consumer feedback mechanism should be established to encourage reporting of low-price or counterfeit products [12][13]. Third-Party Services and Long-Term Maintenance - Engaging professional pricing control companies can help manage online monitoring, complaint execution, and data reporting, reducing labor costs and improving efficiency [15]. - Regular audits and strategy iterations should be conducted quarterly to analyze pricing control effectiveness and adapt to market changes [15]. Summary - A systematic pricing control approach should integrate "prevention-monitoring-punishment-education" throughout the process, utilizing technology for efficiency, legal measures for deterrence, and brand building to reinforce premium capabilities [17]. - It is recommended to prioritize the combination of authorization control, price monitoring, and intellectual property complaints, supplemented by third-party services for rapid response [17].
