Review my new e-commerce model: self-serve group discounts
csbartus: This idea is very useful for shop owners too.
We have realised not the customers are coming to your shop anymore but you'll have to go to their space (like Facebook)Future is about customer driven shops: they define what they want at what price they want.
Shops will be the clients of these groups serving them with lower margins at highest quality.So the question of the business model shifts to shop owners how they can afford to operate in such (hostile) environment
