E-Business Management Session Two : Revenue Models
Session Objectives • Define the type of revenue collection methods for B2C and BCB marketplaces • What is a revenue model? • Define the type of revenue models available • Understand the changes in the revenue composition of e-businesses
Revenue Collection • Collection and disbursement of revenue items • B2C • Use of credit cards • Digital wallets • Digital Cash
Revenue Collection • Collection and disbursement of revenue items • B2B • Electronic Letters of Credit – where a bank or other authority guarantees the payment, and therefore takes the risk associated with repudiation or order dispute • Internet based EDI – although less standardised than more traditional EDI, this approach has the benefit of integrating payment details with other organisational systems • Electronic billing presentation and payment (EBPP): the process by which companies bill customers and receive payments electronically over the Internet. There are two types of presentment models: • direct model: a biller delivers the bill to customers via its own website, or via a third-party's site • consolidator model: bills from multiple billers are delivered to a single Web site, to be presented in aggregate to the consumer for viewing and payment
Revenue Model - Definition • A revenue model is a part of the overall business model, and is essentially the underlying concept of how the e-business will attract and collect revenue • The three forms are: • Sales • Taxes/Individual Service User Payments • Financial Contributions from the public
Types of the Revenue Model • Advertising – income from, for example, banner ads and linked to volume and quality of hits • Sponsorship – sponsorship from a company wanting to convey brand values through association with programs that fit the company's product or corporate image. • Subscription – in effect a membership charge for the ability to receive services for a specified time
Types of the Revenue Model • Transaction Fee – in effect, a broking fee for facilitating a sale between two parties • Affiliate – referral fees when one website leads a party on to another where they conduct a transaction – and the original site therefore gains a cut of the fee : a referral type model
Types of the Revenue Model • Sales – may be of goods or services, which can include information (for example, market information) or provision of web services themselves (such as server spaces for websites, or hot counters) • sales packages may themselves come in diverse forms, such as forward payments for a series of services or deliveries of goods, or agreements to purchase a number of as yet unspecified items (for examples, on a book club model) or basic sales plus discounts on add-ons and so on
Sales Revenue • Online sales revenues are further affected by sales channel decisions, such as customer service, purchase processes, website performance
