8. We identified just few ideas related with different companies strategies,
lot of them are pretty much similar to what Berto Salotti is already doing
some of them are more “disruptive” but for sure they are source of
inspiration.
Possible innovation
Berto might create a kind of crowd sourcing in its website. How ?
For example a costumer that want to purchase a sofa from Berto
but it's not sure about what type among those offered by the
company could find support thanks to other people advice. In fact
Berto could dedicate a space in its website in which a customer
upload the picture of its living-room or the room in which he intends
to place the sofa, and the web community may help him by adding
what in their opinion would be the best solution in terms of model,
colour, etc. Finally, if the customer will find inspiration choosing one
of the solution proposed, the one who gave that option will be
somehow awarded
