■ Features of This Scheme and Anticipated Use Cases
This distribution scheme using "time-limited unique URLs" resolves various corporate marketing challenges by eliminating inventory and shipping costs.

2. As an Incentive for Sales Promotion and Contract Campaigns
It can be utilized as a highlight for campaigns such as "New Member Registration Bonus" or "Gift for Contracted Customers," with flexible duration settings. Operation is completed simply by distributing the unique URL (or QR code) via email or direct mail.
3. For Digitalizing Employee Benefits and Enhancing Engagement
As demonstrated by the implementation with Benefit Station, it can be used as an employee benefit content to enrich employees' leisure time. As there is no need for physical inventory management, the operational burden on HR personnel is minimized.
