Question

Marketing

Hello. I am from Uzbekistan, we do not have marketplaces, from the word at all. City of millions. There is an application for the sale of used goods. 1.5 million visits per month The service attracted more than 500 companies and shops of various directions to host it. The price for accommodation is about $500 per year.

On average, news sites have 1.8-2.3 million traffic per month. Entrepreneurs work the old fashioned way. Not all 1s even have it) The main channel for advertising and attracting is Instagram. Online shopping is not developed. Delivery is ordered, but not much, mostly they prefer to come and see.

There is an idea to create an application where owners of Instagram stores can be placed, for starters. Because they are already in business. They will be easier to attract. Do something like Showcase + something else, delivery or something else.

The buyer from the photo will be able to go from the application to the seller's Instagram profile or contact via whatsapp, telegram.

The application will act as a directory. Uniqueness for the buyer is the convenience of finding products, plus delivery is cheaper than from regular Instagram stores. It is also convenient for small stores in attracting traffic.

What do you think about this application format? Given such traffic and the lack of large online stores.

Why cheaper? What is the distinctive convenience if you have to go to the same Instagram page to order?

Answer 2

Market place is one thing, the main expenses are marketing delivery, another is the main expenses building a system offline
