    Market Research Help

    The £10 per month is the charge to be promoted essentially, in the same way that if you wanted to be advertised on google you would pay £X per month for that service. The £10 is basically to cover my costs to drive people to you, the reason it is a rolling contract is because I cannot guarantee...

    Would you benefit?

    That is exactly what I am trying to achieve, a more realistic groupon/wowcher providing consistent discounts. Thanks for the feedback

    Would you benefit?

    OK I will try this on a separate thread, I am just conducting some market research for my business plan. I am not after any advice to whether the business will work nor am I after advice of things that I may not of considered. This is just to add to my research section of my plan for loan...

    Market Research Help

    The commercials add up, all I was trying to achieve was to gain a bit of market research but it seems nobody has understood the point. I am not after people telling me whether the business plan is viable or not. I have business mentors that know what I am planning and agree it is a good plan...

    Market Research Help

    No that's fine, everyone is entitled to their opinion and I was expecting criticism. Yes that's the point you can't send 10,000+ flyers for £10, but I have a strategy to how I can do that which will benefit both the businesses involved and myself. As I said initially I am not going to disclose...

    Market Research Help

    The traffic is solely down to the offers provided by the businesses in that area. There is no guarantee that it will increase footfall, in the same way that no business or advertisement method can guarantee footfall. However, every household in that town will have a flyer delivered. The way...

    Market Research Help

    It is going to be an exclusive offers site, obviously we have all seen the growth of 'daily deals companies' so its a similar concept to that but actually assisting businesses rather than taking 50% profit from you for providing a 50% discount (or whatever the offer is). I would ask you to...

    Website Needed To Be Built

    Thanks to all for responding, would it make much of a difference if I remove the map system to begin with and just have a list of regions with a link through to that regions relevant towns? For example, Lancashire > Preston > Hairdressers With the data capture, is there any other...

    Website Needed To Be Built

    Sorry yes, for each town there will be a list of around 30-40 businesses all with a contact number and address, so yes similar to how a directory would be. The most important thing is before the customer can view the businesses details they will need to have registered and log in every time...

    I want to start a business...

    If I am being honest I haven't really any experience selling items over the internet. I am a face to face person, however, from a business perspective, the best thing you can do is to create something that will generate quick low risk turnover. It may not be want you want to do, but it will...

    I want to start a business...

    Well, it is all about calculated risk, if your business model is the equivent of lumping £10,000 on red, its not worth the risk. However, it you wanted to start from ebay, buying goods at a high demand and trying to resell at a higher cost...not a bad starting point for a business trial. It...
