Phone application/platform for adoption and care of pets
Budget: £20 – £250 GBP
We are social science students from University of Southampton working on a new business idea that will simplify pet owners' life.
- We want to create a platform/app that would allow pet owners’ and future pet owners to book appointments, be in contact with each other, find solutions to their problems, adopt new pets, etc.
- We will act as an intermediary between the user and third-party companies.
The app will make a profit from
- Freemium model – users that choose monthly/annual subscription will benefit from offers and premium prices
- Charging fee when using other features like vet appointments, grooming, training
- Donations
SWOT analysis of our idea
Strengths
- Blooming Market
- Few competitors
- Great variety of services
- Faster for the pet owners to find the service they need then if they had to browse the entire internet.
- Easy social-media marketing
Weaknesses
- New in the market
- Lack of experience
- Scarcity of knowledge in this field
- Low level of customers’ trust (no reputation - neither good nor bad)
- Software problems
Opportunities
- An increase in the pet owner market – the growth of potential customers
- The pets' growing market
- Gap/niche in the market
Threats
- Non-receipt of a cooperation agreement
- To be non-profitable App
- High level of competition
- Data Protection Act 2018
Our finances are limited as we are students.
At the moment, we will be glad to receive possible suggestions for the development of our platform idea, as well as the development of the layout and logo for the app.
Important: The freelancer has to be based in UK or have UK bank account.
