Amazon Whisperer

1.      Revenue drivers: For my venture, my only revenue driver would be advertising revenue.
2.      Next product: Since my service would be localized to the Gainesville area, the next product that I would offer would be other areas in Florida such as our arch nemesis in Tallahassee next.
3.      How it enhances: This would enhance my current product by allowing cross regional trading of books as well as local trading.
4.      Amazon product: While amazon does not offer a product like mine, they do offer a service similar to the one I plan on offering. They offer rentals both on eBooks and also hardcopy deliveries.

5.      Customer dislikes and likes: While there are no customer reviews on a service as wide ranging as this covering many different products, as a consumer of this service myself, I have a general idea of the positives and negatives that this service has. The likes are that renting a textbook is easy to do and cheaper than a conventional rental from the university bookstore. The dislikes are that the product drastically increases in price the longer you hold on to the book and buying books are still not as cheap as exchanging them.
6.      Changes I would make: I would personally make it easier to hold books for longer and offer exchanges for a surcharge that would add to the already profitable service.

7.      Why it’s a good addition: This extension of my service would be a good extension as it allows an easy slope up and expansion with minimal risks that could maximize profit and opportunity realization.
