consumers prefer the amount of discount when 
promoting utilitarian products. While hedonic 
products emphasize enjoyment value, consumers who 
buy such products tend to be more emotional and 
prone to feelings of guilt. In order to escape from 
feelings of guilt, consumers are more inclined to 
present the way of percentage discounts when 
promoting hedonic products. 
The conclusion of this paper has implications for 
e-commerce operators to design more effective price 
promotion activities. Price discount presentation 
affects consumer purchase intention, and perceived 
value plays an intermediary role, therefore when 
making product prices, business operators need to 
carefully consider what kind of price discount 
presentation, to increase the perceived value of the 
consumer, in turn, increase consumers' willingness to 
buy, finally achieve better promotion effect. Product 
type plays a moderating role in the influence of price 
discount presentation mode on consumers' perceived 
value and purchase intention. Therefore, operators 
should select price discount presentation mode 
according to specific product types. When the product 
is a utilitarian product, the dollar-based deals mode 
should be selected. When the product is a hedonic 
product, choose the percentage-based deals. 
Although the experimental results in this paper 
prove the research hypothesis, there are still some 
deficiencies. First of all, the average effective data of 
each experimental group in this paper are about 30 
people, and the representativeness and stability of 
experimental results are limited. Secondly, this paper 
adopts the experimental method, and there may be 
some differences between the performance of the 
subjects in the experimental conditions and the real 
online shopping. Further research using more realistic 
experimental scenarios can provide more useful 
reference information for e-commerce operators. In 
addition, sports clothing was selected as the stimulus 
in this experiment to draw a conclusion. Whether this 
conclusion is also applicable to other product needs to 
be further studied.
