TO BE COMPLETE....

During our classes we covered lots of topics. To be complete i would like to put 2 or 3 links more on the freemiun, social entrepreneur, and sales.

How to optimize the revenu? This is the main goal of lots of companies. Some tools exist but how we know if it is efficient. On Salesboom website, you can try a full version of their poduct during 30 days. http://www.salesboom.com/

I try to find an example of a social entrepreneur in France and in the tourism sector. This experience talked to me. You do not need to be a big company to be a social entrepreneur. Let's have a look an the following experience "Patrice, entrepreneur social" : http://www.seniorplanet.fr/mag/le-parcours-d-un-entrepreneur-social.14654.html

Sales on web. It is a big market. How can the companies reach the mass customers, given them the impression that they are unique. No doubt about it, and as we saw in class, Venteprivees.com is the leader. But there competitors are on the market like http://www.surinvitation.com.

Thank you for those transformational experiences....

Vente Privées.com

Sales on web again and again! Clothes, wines, fashion accessories, shoes… The customers have discounts on brands. What is the difference with another website which sales goods. First of all, the customers can not enter on the website without a “parrain”. Someone has to introduce you to the community. This person gives you its e-mail (he has to be a vente.privees.com customer) to register yourself.

After you registration you chose your favourite theme and you receive invitation for the next sales which take place on the website. You have a little movie showing the next articles on sale. I would qualify this movie as a show room. Each sale is an event!

The process is:

*brands,
*good discounts on them,
*sales limited in the time (Good deal do not let them go!)
*and overall the customers. Except what I described later, everyone can go on the website. It is not difficult to find a “parrain”. They are in the centre of the process. They have to feel UNIQUE.

Vente.privées.com forecasted 700 sales for 300 millions euros on 2007 (http://www.journaldunet.fr/)
