How can they be improved? - Any complete new ideas for group buying? 4) Combination of models - Which models could harmonize on a single platform? - Synergy and complementary effects 5) Community - How to combine the different concepts with a vivid community? 6) Social Media - How to use social media in this context for marketing (concrete examples)? - How to incorporate social media in the group buying mechanism itself? - Special ideas on how to grow the community and subscribers. Best practice ideas are welcomed. Must have extremely good written English skills. In addition, you must go above and beyond the current group buying sites - that is, think of features/strategies that the current group buying business model is lacking but may be successful. Also put forward strategies on how we could capitalize on our very low cost business model in Manila, Philippines to expand internationally. Please PM your prior experience and examples of your other similar group buying business plans that you have created including financial projections. Must be willing to sign a non-disclosure agreement upon approval.
