• Boot-strapped OnShop, a platform for SME's in Asia to quickly develop an online presence.
• The platform enabled 4 core things;
• Business profile (What they do, location, contact)
• Messaging & Customer Service
• Catalog of products
• Deliver opt-in vouchers & flyers
• Consumers use the platform to find, follow & interact with their preferred businesses and receive targeted marketing.
• Key features include Google Maps localisation services, mobile platform support for Blackberry, iPhone & Android, plus integration with Facebook, Twitter & YouTube. OnShop also provides small businesses with the capability to provide coupons, and establish loyalty marketing schemes.
• OnShop is focussed on SE Asia, India and emerging markets, where SMEs don't have the the right opportunity to develop an online presence. It's core proposition is Simple, Localised & Relevant.
• OnShop launched, but struggled for traction.
• Why? A few reasons;
• > The launch was during the crossroads of the smart phone revolution
• > Never achieved proper product-market fit and built an effective two-sided marketplace
• > Too early
• > Lack of funding
