This is a variation on an idea I once presented to the CEO of Dell Computers, twice.
Scenario – you want a iPhone 7 cover with purple flowers, delivered within a week.
You – search for 10 minutes, get frustrated, give up.
We – search on your behalf, provide recommendations, no charge.
Business model
We provide the best solution, not the best price.
We provide links to preferred suppliers.
There is no obligation to buy – you can look elsewhere for the same product.
We receive commissions from businesses that offer commissions. This influences where we recommend you buy from, but not the product/solution we recommend.
We are upfront about out business model.
We publish the ratio of solutions we do not benefit from.
Employees are global, cheap, and paid per solution, with a share of any commissions.
Advantages
First mover advantage.
Scales well – all solutions stored in a database, to make it easier next time.
Solutions can be published online.
Because we cater for all categories, we can bid (Google Ads) on only high intent keywords, like +buy+ delivery
