I’ve always been fascinated by on-line shopping. How do people figure out what to sell on-line, then how do they get other people to buy what they are selling. I am a frequent user of Craigs List and Ebay, and am constantly amazed when someone puts and item on there that looks like it’s seen better days, they attach a price to it, and someone bids on it or buys it. One mans trash is another mans treasure. I saw one lady actually offering to rent a child safety strap that costs a hundred dollars. She had an ad posted offering to rent it for $25.
I’ve also spent time shopping on Amazon and Best Buy’s sites, and Gifts.com as well. As I went through those sites they always left me with the feeling that I’m watching, and I’m buying, but I’m not really watching because I’m only looking at pictures. So like the guy with the peanut butter who runs into the guy with the chocolate I thought, why not use video. And one step better, what if you could watch the video and actually click on the products you wanted to buy. A true merging of the terms watch and buy into one name, watchnbuy.com.
So that’s what my partner and I developed. An entire website devoted to watching videos and buying what you want. With internet sales soaring into the billions we’re hoping this becomes the next great way to shop on-line. We haven’t bought fancy sports cars yet, or second homes at the beach, but we hope it’s something people like and start taking advantage of.
