    Choice of business model?

    valuegiver - not sure what this has got to do with Groupon? Thats a group coupon buying site - one deal at a time. This would be a site offering wholesale on a huge range of goods.

    Choice of business model?

    Sorry just to clarify - the wholesale club idea is for direct to consumer rather than to retailers.

    Choice of business model?

    Thanks for the reply. As far as the prices no longer being cheap because of shipping. The current retailers are mostly low volume and pay similar shipping costs to their location. So the only difference would be the cost of us shipping out the goods to the customer. Research into this has...

    Choice of business model?

    Hi everyone, Just been mulling over a potential niche market that i'v found in my area and was looking at two different possible options. 1) was a wholesale club. People join to become members. Members have access to the entire online store from a range of distributors. Price they pay is...

    Is there opportunity for a better opposition? Focus on getting a better deal for the supplier? Which could lead to better deals for consumers?

    Renting Your Products

    I guess there are downsides but only in certain conditions. It would depend on the type of store and type of product. If the product that requires a high level of in store sales then it might not be as successful. But maybe you could build incentives into consignment to encourage. If its a type...

    Renting Your Products

    Heard of this happening often for new products. I believe its called putting a good on consignment (not 100% sure). Cant think of any major downsides. Its a great way to get your product into someones store with win win for most parties.

    Thanks for your comments Sparlin. I actually like ideas that you have put forward - am going to put these forward to the others working on it. Its actually good to have this scrutinized so bluntly. Its great to have a fresh view on things. There are certainly going to be big changes to the site.

    Need help with a new venture

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Alright so its obvious that there needs to be some clarity added to the homepage to go along with the other changes mentioned. To clarify it for everyone here, this is how it works: You sign up - then once all members have signed up the money is collected. Then people submit ideas on what they...

    There will be little to know offical chat before the payments are collected. So people might chat on the forums about potential ideas but once the payments are collected then the offical idea submitting under a different system will start. So people wont know if their ideas are used or not until...

    Using the fastlane example doesnt match up that well - They are getting their ideas produced into an actual show. So here on fastlane we are just sharing ideas/discussing etc where as for $40 once these people get together with their ideas we will use the money to make them into a tangible show...

    Thanks for all your feedback. OPM - The forum suggestion is a good one. We had planned on adding a forum once the site had members but bringing that forward is easily done. Do you recommend joining these other forums and posting with the site in our sig? or something else? Lighthouse - thanks...

    Can a Billion-Dollar Ecommerce Toy Company Be Created?

    Thats actually a very good idea. Surely your right in saying that an online toy store concept could become a billion doller enterprise. Guess you could look at the history of other similar companies operating in other markets and see how they did it. Might be worth looking into a niche that...

    How to get it off the ground?

    Thanks for your responses. It could be run online but also has the ability to have it offline. Was considering having heats or so offline , then have a live final or semi finals. There is no governing body but there is one particular company that may want to have a say in this. Oh and...

    How to get it off the ground?

    Iv had an idea for an event, I cant really say too much as dont want it to be copied before iv had a chance to try. Its a championship style event, eg with heats people competiting against each other until there is a winner. To launch such a global event would obviously take huge backing and...
