Waiting in a queue is a waste of a consumer's tme and a lost of profit to a business. Free2Roam lets the consumer use their mobile phones ( via SMS or Interactive Voice Response,IVR ) to hold their spots in line while they are free to roam. An average person spends over 2 waking years of his/her life waiting in queues. My system will keep track and remind them of their wait time. The customer can ask for more time if they are busy or to leave the queue. On a bigger picture, Free2Roam is a digital community which covers F&B, lifestyles and entertainment. This community will be linked with an application on Facebook to drive more traffic and eventually will be a gold mine for advertisers to target their desired audience. Ultimately, Free2Roam will be a Brand for what's hot and what's not!

Its loading but takes ages,anyway good luck mate =)

I think the Kickstart website got problem now. Mine keep loading =.=..

Nvm guys pls view the youtube vid 1st n drop come comments

Thx!

Its a good idea but honestly to me if I am charged for sms charge to be in the queue, I rather just take my RM0.50~RM1.50 elsewhere. First of all merchants also have the responsibility to hold the tables for free2roam users but what happens if these ppl continue to shop shop and then end up they FFK the restaurant. The restaurant will lose even more money than if they had let their customers in queue to go 1st.

Hey Guys,

First of all, i'm very kind, so i will repay you.

And yea,,the page can open today also! Pls try again now! Love you

Thanks in advance * muaks*

For more information pls view this Facebook group with a brief explanation about Free2roam

http://www.facebook.com/home.php?flyingspaghettimonster=home#...gid=69650384936

=)

J-Slade,

I would like to adress your questions.

First of all, Thank you so much for taking time to have a look at my BPO. =)
For the record, charges per SMS won;t be as high as RM1.50. In fact, it will be subsidized with mobile advertisement.
Free2roam will create a channel for merchants to reach out to the users via Mobile Advertisement. To do that, Free2Roam will ask the merchants to sponsor freebies, gifts, discounts and privillages to Free2Roam users. The benefits will be served to Free2Roam users in a form of mobile coupons/ SMS.

So free2roam isn't only about helping consumers save time and enjoy outings more but also to prompt users and let them in on information of the best bargains in town to ensure best value worth of their money.

=) Thanks!!! Pls continue asking me if you need more information, would love to share with you!

how u help us to help you? I can find alot of ppl to vote you

That's a good way to offset the sms charges.

How bout the issue where free2roam users FFK the restaurant. How is the merchant going to handle that? wait till the free2roam user get back? or allow other customers who are queuing up go in first? If they do, then the free2roam user comes back then found his/her seat is given away.. then what happens next?

this system doesnt work reason very simple if everyone book and do not attend its a huge lost for the merchant or shop. Not only that example M-money it was failure because at first its update then later it will end up spam smses. Anyway good luck to u just voted for you

Thx guys. Pls keep voting if u can.I will update the info about dis Free2Roam

Jansmit, your so sweet. Cheers to that! Drop me a comment

The website already up! Can view n start to vote already! =)

dear aspire 2006,

hehe thanks for voting for me ! like i said in my video, if you don't like it you still can vote.

God bless you i wish you 10 years of good luck!

For the record, the consumer can choose not to receive any SMS updates and even choose what type of SMS-es he / she wants to receive. For example , customer A only wants to receive SMS on discounts from F&B.
They can also choose the frequency of how often they wanna receive these sms-es . Example : Once a month.

Cheers! once again, thanks for your vote! ur so sweet!

Dear J-Slade,

If the consumer FFK more then 3 times, we will prompt the merchant. The whole idea of the system is to creat benefits for both consumers and merchant. I'm sure if the customer needs to pay a small fee like RM0.30 cents for a booking, they should be quite serious most of the time. Hopefully no one abuses this!

Cheers mate!=)

Jansmit, you can create. Its very simple . All you need is to verify your emial. U like my video? I'll be loading a few more videos by Friday! ;p The contest ends on 7th March, so i only got another 5 days to get as many votes as i can..! ;p

Cheers

thx guys who already voted for today !

may god bless u guys =)

Hmm... can you include more details here?

Regardless,you're still going to get my vote. Kudos on your effort in reaching out towards the public (LYN lol).

For WNF here are the details about Free2Roam.

1. Freedom to roam - Free2Roam send voice calls or SMS to the customers' mobile phones, so they are free to roam as far as their mobile takes them.

2. On Demand Update - The customer can call or text for instant update to forecast wait time or number of people ahead of them in the queue.

3. Better Customer Experience - Free2Roam reduces the customer perceived wait time even if their actual wait time doesn't change at all. When customers are anxious, their waits feel longer. Waiting feels even longer when the duration is uncertain or unexplained. Free2Roam completely removes their anxiety by providing them with on-demand status. They will love us for it!


4. A wealth of customer data - Free2Roam provides comprehensive reports such as
a) Which days the customers are waiting longest and how long did they wait?
b) When customers are coming back, are they bringing their friends?
c) Are your customers first timers or regulars?
d) Are you getting more return customers or fewer?

5. Ease of Use - The merchants can view their customer line real-time from a web browser. Each time the customers are attended to, they need to remove them from the line by clicking on the browser. After that, Free2Roam will self-learn and forecast ( algorithm) the wait-time automatically.

6. No Hardware or Software to buy - Free2Roam is a hosted solution and all the customers need are just a mobile phones and as for the merchants only a brower.

i've read your proposal and i'm sorry to say that it might not work, what you need to do is to first put yourself in the customer's shoe, let's face it, everybody loves free stuff, not many people will pay RM2 to reserve a spot when they can just call and reserve their table for free and still get them on time, not to mention no consequences if they decide not to come. (restaurant example). Besides this is not america where there are many high-in-demand restaurants/banks/airlines/clubs etc.. with an insane amount of queue where people would actually pay to reserve a spot.

and looking at your projections, you are already aiming for profit after the first year, i'm sorry to burst your bubble but gaining even 10 cents of profit in the first year is EXTREMELY rare for ANY business, more so in the IT industry, there's a reason why 50% of all businesses fail after its 1st year, they over-estimate and are over-confident that their product will be "the next best thing". People aren't going to buy your software unless it is proven to increase their sales, note the word 'proven'.

btw, have you even thought of the cost it takes to collaborate with Facebook/Friendster?

also, NEVER EVER USE the words "first of its kind", and "no competition", there will ALWAYS be others and there will ALWAYS be competition, you're not living in a Utopian world here sweetheart.

i'm sorry to say this but you need to do a heck of alot more research before embarking on such a journey. you aren't going to wow potential investors with mediocre planning. I suggest buying books about entrepreneurship and business.

don't be discouraged by my comments though, take it as constructive criticism.

TL:DR good luck, you will need alot of it.

Can you dance??I would like to see you dance , please upload the video ...Hehehe~

Thx Xonius! coz u willing to spend time to read the BPO. Its ok with the comment, in fact we do need this kind of comment to improve

For the record, charges per SMS won't be as high as RM1.50. At least i got aim to reach by the 1st year rite

Added on March 3, 2009, 1:20 pmThe best person that win by how many votes he/she gain

At least im trying to help christyng

This post has been edited by starzgate: Mar 3 2009, 01:20 PM

why not instead of phone... use a website for bookings lor

Yes we can also choose to check online if we are at home, and also choose to check on our mobiles when we are on the move!

Btw, make it like this, while u r shopping, u thinking of dining in a restaurant after done shopping, then u just need ur mobile to do it!

Just simple as that. Even now we can browse internet using our hp rite?

not really...if you understand what is fair game...

Voting is good k.
Earns money.

Sorry christy, your idea doesn't interest me enough to vote.

Hi, you are doing a very good marketing. Using social network to market is a good step.

But at the end of the day, your idea is bad. Do you read and improve the suggestions you get in LYN ?

Are you prepared to answer the questions the Nescafe Judges going to ask you ?

The judges will tear you apart. Soliciting votes without improvement is low.

Instead of calling her low, why dont you give her some constructive criticism instead?
She is young, and still at the infancy of her abilities in the business world. u can give suggestions to help her out.
its negative people like you that makes the world a sucky place.
sometimes give people the benefit of the doubt before assessing them like dat.

We hope u guys could drop any question or comment at Christy BPO page there and then we will try to answer that.

Hopefully u guys can help Christy in getting ready to face the judges by dropping comments, question or anythg at Christy BPO!!

Btw thx coz spending ur time to read Christy's BPO We really appreciate that ^^

pls post ur pictars here

Added on March 3, 2009, 7:32 pmDear WNF,

Thank you so much for having time to check out my thread here.

For more info, pls check out my Business Plan overview at http://www.kickstart.com.my/program/entrep...nts/Christy.htm

and view my video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Klpb8S2v1TM

and here's a brief description of my BPO:-

Waiting in a queue is a waste of a consumer's tme and a lost of profit to a business. Free2Roam lets the consumer use their mobile phones ( via SMS or Interactive Voice Response,IVR ) to hold their spots in line while they are free to roam. An average person spends over 2 waking years of his/her life waiting in queues. My system will keep track and remind them of their wait time.

Ultimately, Free2Roam will be a Brand for what's hot and what's not

In short, users get the benefits of busting queues and goodies from merchants! Free2roam will help people get the best value of their time and money while merchants can fully utilize their operation hours to maximize profit!

he created a damn topic for this.

but anyway nice idea, although i cant see how its going to be implemented successfully. good luck.

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP BILLABONG!

---

Added on March 3, 2009, 8:21 pmFirstly, thank you for having the time to read my BPO.

For starters, Free2Roam is not charging consumers RM2 for SMS. The cost will be absorbed by advertisers.

And I have been in the SMS industry for 2 years already,do check out my webpage at www.beep2u.com.
Pls have a look at my customer list also. I have more then 10 multi nationals which use my services as well www.optegra.com.my



AND

Incase your not familiar with Facebook or friendster, it is absolutly FOC to build applications on them. Facebook provides the GUI and application developer's kit for aspiring widget builders for FREE. I have already develop a few of my own aps on facebook. The only resource i need is time. the rest of it will be bound down to programming.

---

Added on March 3, 2009, 8:25 pmDear Klprift,

Incase your wondering, I have already been in the SMS and Mobile Application business for the past two years. Pls check out my webpage it's optegra.com.my and my SMS / Mobile advertising web page which is www.beep2u.com

Pls have a look at the list of customers i have. I am the founder of Beep2u.com

I have gone throught the learning curve and I believe many of my clients in beep2u will find free2roam very useful to them .
