Business Model from the Dot Com World

Lessons Learnt from the Dot Com Era for Real Physical Business

This entry is inspired by enterprising MMU students (or rather graduated students) and I feel strongly that I should at least give them a mention wherever I can to "advertise" their business.

One of the most successful dot com business model is online advertising where companies such as Yahoo!, Google and a magnitude of others actually manage to create a successful web business. The brick and mortar business can also learn from this business model. In Japan, entrepreneurs are providing free photocopying where they generate revenue from selling advertising space on one side of the paper whilst photocopying on the other.

Locally, in Malaysia, keep a look out for Enveluv.Com. Their domain should give you a clue and they should be ready for business in the next few months. I for one wish them success and believe strongly in their business model.

Halal Baby Food

Malaysia a Halal Hub?

I was actually looking for some food and beverage business idea when I came across this company in UK that produces Halal Baby food! Being a parent of a toddler, it made me explore this more as I have always thought that baby food contains just vegetables and other soft food.

Although they have a Internet store, it would make more sense if someone can import their products in bulk, obtain a halal certification and distribute them through retail outlets here as well. I am sure the market is very big and would even say that a speciality shop in maybe Putrajaya would be highly successful.
