Company Performance Metrics
Joseph A Smith: Founder, Chief Executive Officer- Matthew Crowe: Senior, Software Engineer
We have a big dream, the biggest vision we've ever had.
For a Small Business: Imagine a place where businesses from all over could showcase products and services in a way that wasn't just about the lowest price. Where pride and craftsmanship made a difference. Where the unique flavors of every business was allowed to shine – just
like it does when walking down a city Main Street.
Where you could grow your business by building a loyal customer base that could be next door, or on the other side of the country.
For Shoppers: Imagine a website that made online shopping nearly as fun as real world shopping. Not just to compare prices, but to actually shop on. A place where you could get the feeling of walking down a real Main Street in any town, anywhere.
Window shopping. Browsing. Feeling the thrill of discovering something you didn’t know you needed but just have to have.
For an Investor: Let's remember about 40% of amazon's $70B in sales last year came from 3rd party small businesses participating on the amazon web site. But amazon doesn't share any customer information with the merchant, in fact they hide the merchant from the shopper. How can you build a business this way?
But what other option do the 3 million or so small businesses on amazon have?
We have begun by creating a place where small businesses will be celebrated. By joining together on ShopOnMain.com we can share shipping volume across 100s of businesses to negotiate rates with shippers. Where we can use internet marketing across 100s of businesses to drive traffic in a way that is much more cost effective.
