Online Shopping: Mob Bargain
Headwinds (Potential Problems):
• HK distributors have exclusive rights for the latest items; i.e. iPad
• Consumer belief in concept
• How to convince consumer to trust our site? (website’s reputation)
• How do we assure ourselves these sellers are legitimate? (a seller certification
program)
• How do we assure sellers actually have stock on-hand?
• Do we guarantee transactions? once costumers pay money....offering insurance
• Logistic issues
