Assignment 7/9/09

Kamil and I decided to produce a bike interest site. Bring the community of hardcore riders to one place. Allowing the user to log in and get up to date information on trails, events and other things related to the cycling scene.

We think that a small income could be generated through sponsorship. This would be made possible as the users increase. Thus making it inviting for companies to advertise there brand ie, Rock Shox, Marzocchi, Red bull.

By collaborating with various bike stores we could offer the users of the site discounts in participating shops.

Money could also be made by charging users a small fee when selling stuff through the site ie, Secondhand bikes or accesssories. The percentage could be as small as 5% to make it inviting for the users to use the built in function rather than selling it elsewhere.

Screen Shot

Marketing will be carried out via the users themself, word of mouth and posters in participating stores.

We expect that word of month would be key in generating new users of the site.
