Between “Kickstarter” and “Amazon” you’ll find a huge gap in the ecommerce market which no company has managed to fill until now. Hamster Marketplace will tap into this hunger using the following positioning tactics. Initially, Hamster Marketplace will be aimed at producers of indieelectronics (starting from DIY exclusive assemblages, the demand for which may be as high as the promotion is expensive) and niche gadgets. In the future, we may broaden the profile of the marketplace to include non-electronic goods which demonstrate clear potential for growth by promotion to the Hamster Marketplace userbase
THE MARKETPLACE AS INCUBATOR: FROM DIY TO FACTORY, FROM LOCAL TO GLOBAL
Projects which find themselves “between Kickstarter and Amazon” may be of very different sizes, but they have a problem in common: they cannot break through the ceiling. Some cannot make the leap from “garage start-up” to functioning production. Others can produce well but are unable to force their way onto global markets, and remain only local players. In both these cases, Hamster Marketplace is their salvation thanks to its unique decentralized global trading platform, without middlemen, run by the producers themselves.
Four Factors For Success: Why Hamster Marketplace Will Take Off Exclusivity to niche products, to broadening the range of new ideas and offers while preventing it getting clogged up with unoriginal goods. Specialization, which will attract the necessary target audience and widen the community of early enthusiasts for niche electronic projects; Platform, offering vendors a cheaper deal than any other marketplace, as only the minimum margins are put down by the marketplace owners; Occupying a niche which bigger marketplaces have irreversibly outgrown.
HAMSTER MARKETPLACE PROJECT
In order to finance the creation and launch of Hamster Marketplace, the Hamster Marketplace LLP company will organise and run a crowdfunding campaign by distributing tokens during the tokensale in February 2018. Funds raised in the token sale will be used for: launching and developing the platform; attracting vendors of innovative electronics and gadgets; attracting buyers who are interested in purchasing unique goods; developing and implementation of the decentralized management* of the platform with the help of “digital trust” instruments, first and foremost Blockchain creation of the stabilization fund
HamsterMarketplace is being developed as a decentralized project in order to guarantee that the platform will always exist and act in the interests of sellers and buyers. Self-management of business by its subjects, management of a trading platform by manufacturers of the goods - one of innovative models which became possible only now. Mechanics of self-management Hamster Marketplace will be developed on the basis of following principles: Give vendors have the opportunity to find their own buyers online, globally and without middlemen. Delivery is provided using the vendor’s resources or through the platform’s own partner service. The transparency of management decisions taken by the producers, and the reliability of accounting their votes will be guaranteed by the use of Emercoin blockchain for voting, securing decisions and calculating spending.
