Editor's Notes
- Liked the idea of wedding websites Still found it difficult to coordinate Couled be used to obtain funding Ties into all our classes
- Combines the content of thousands of sites, and contact information of thousands of wedding vendors in a single location Flrists, dj photographer, caterers, attire, initations Vendors that don’t’ have a system can use ours It ties into our search engine so customers can search them out. Anyone visit www.homestore.com? And look at examples of houses onnline using IPIX technolgies. Use the same for reception locations With membership have access to wedding checklist, interactive weding calndar, guest list manager The whole business is really a concept that would aid in wedding planning
- Basics of the business model. Still in the works on whether or not to charge website viewers. Model may rely too much on vendor advertisement money, may need to consider other models such as e-commerce revenue models, that will be for future growth.
- Why is the Industry a viable one. Part of wedding industry which is proven. BUT ALSO PART OF DOT COM specifically Information Retrieval Systems or Miscellaneous Computer Related Services or Online Content Provider Depending on which Industry Research Organization A look at the finantials of online content providers industry reveals???
- Large Markets attract competition The fact that there are very few large companies constant to both industries needs to set off a light bulb. Yes the dot com companies aren’t doing well at all Half of customers that have web access use the Internet for wedding planning 2.4 million marriages Half use the Internet No real industry averages for “wedding companies” but the averages for Online Content Providers was not a plus. The potential is certainly there Especially for e-commerce which we need to plan for (not yet included in business plan)
- Locally I’ve found over 1300 Considering all the types of vendors Photographers, musiciains, videographers,disc jockeys, reception venues, florists, accessory providers, attire audio visual, bakery, beauty and helath, beverages, caligraphers, caterers, chapels and churches, wedding consultants (another potential market for the product), dance instructors, decorations, entertainment, wedding favors and gifts, furnishings, honeymoon planners, invitations, jewelry, lodging, rentals, restaurants, day after planners, transportaion, travel, wedding registry, ministers
- Like all other online content providers, none of the big companies listed in the industry have pulled a profit. This allows you to see the popularitiry
- The best I liked was www.weddingconnections.com provided the most vendor contact information Wedding coordinators and consultants may be a better market for the product Did not do a study on this.
- Being a small company need to search for all the competitive advantages as possible Search IPIX Scheduling system, No other wedding planning sites have these features not-tied into eommerce money loser.. At least not yet
- Get listed on all search engies Electronic announcemnets mailed out to guest list will increase reach Strategic relationships - Need one with company that provides wedding registry- need one with IPIX Advertise – along with internet advertising, newspaper, radio, tv, and especially bridal magazines
- With website development need a real good domain name Investigate Hire personnel There are still issues with IPIX that need to get hatched out
- In our research, for a san diego location Oceanside 1.53 per sq foot, sandiego averaged 3.0 per sq ft for rent Org building – get the personnel Tech infrastructure – for both internal and external users Marketing starts doing their job
- Business moels are too limited. May be too expensive Tech issues with IPIX Booking system may not be embraced. Most have their own and might not want to change. Wedding channel.com, theknot.com, they have good names and strong brand loyalty.
- Development costs Sales expenses Rent Employee wages
- Didn’t study e-commerce but need to look at this to further capitalize on the actually website viewers (the couples getting married) Need to also develop strategic relationships (IPIX technology, an dorganization that provides online wedding registry) Success depneds on pentration the local market, this means vendors must buy into the idea of paying for the booking system, and use it. IF marketing does its job, then we should be able to get a critical mass of customers. There aren’t enough wedding businesses in San Diego to provide sufficient revenues to continue operations, the company would need to expand into other markets (didn’t do a study on this) Risks of the Industry show not to pursue venture,
