Overview Flashcards
What is 500 Roses?
It is a Website that displays women advertising their services for female companionship.
How does this website differ from its competitors?
One of 500ROSES.com’s most distinguishing feature is we will only feature the most beautiful women in any major city. Therefore 500ROSES.com will not allow a woman to put herself onto the site without direct approval from senior management. All women will be chosen personally by the CEO and eventually the management team. E.g. if you are on the website and waive your cursor over New York City a full body picture of the ‘featured’ girl will appear. She will be one of women that we are using in that city at that time. A customer will not have to search through pictures. He will only see the pictures of the most beautiful women in the city.
How will 500ROSES.com make money?
We will charge the women an initial rate of $30 a month.
How is 500ROSES.com going to find the women to put onto the website?
Initially we will simply take postings from other websites. After we build some notoriety in the space we will have a section on the website for women to ‘apply’ to be added. A ‘prospect’ will be able to submit her photos and wait for them to be reviewed by the CEO/management. As the website grows we ultimately see ourselves soliciting women in face to face interviews through agents.
How is 500ROSES.com going to get visitors to the website?
We intend to send a text or give a phone call to the women on the site advising them that they are being featured on the site initially for free. The text will read ‘You are now being featured on 500roses.com. Please tell your clients. Only the most beautiful women are featured.’
What advantages do you eventually see technology playing here?
We will develop an app for a smart-phone that will let a client that is actively viewing the website know whether a women is ‘available’ or ‘unavailable’. Featured women will download the app to their phone and will change their status accordingly. One of the issues with current websites is a customer has to call multiple women before one picks up the phone. This will eliminate that hassle.
Initially we will have a button on the site that will send a quick automated text to the woman of interest for the client. The text will simply be – 500ROSES.com – available? If she isn’t then she will not respond. If she is she can respond to the text. This will pop up under the customer’s login. If she isn’t available but becomes available later she can respond. E.g. if she responds 30 minutes after the automated text and says yes it will go into the customers inbox and to his personal email and to his phone as a text if he prefers.
How did you come up with the name?
‘Roses’ is a term often associated with Dollars on these companionship websites. E.g. It may say 200 roses per hour. Therefore 500 roses makes sense. It’s memorable – especially amongst the clientele that frequent these sites.
In what other ways does you site differ from the competition?
In what other ways does you site differ from the competition?
Simplicity. We are only featuring women with an extremely simple search procedure.
We will also not allow the girls to pay for top billing on a given city – instead we will rotate a new girl to the top each day
‘Verified by 500roses’. We intend to offer the women a method of having their pictures validated by allowing a member of 500roses to contact them with a face-time session or any software that allows video-conferencing in order to confirm that they are indeed the woman in the pictures. This is extremely important as anyone that has contacted an escort from the internet has more than likely experienced having a woman show up at their location that was simply not the woman in the pictures. We will affix the words ‘Verified by 500roses’ next to the woman’s profile. Eventually the women that have been verified will take priority over the ones that have not been verified when rotating each day for top billing status.
We will encourage the woman to upload a short video – equivalent to a 6 second ‘vine’ video with a simple message on it.
Is nudity allowed on the site?
Absolutely not. We are not verifying the age of the women therefore we will definitely prohibit nudity on the site.
What about offering services in other countries?
Eventually we intend to offer foreign cities most likely starting with Canada. In its first 45 days of operation without absolutely no advertising we have already been visited by countries such as Canada, Germany, Sweden, Russia, Iraq, Kuwait, Japan and others.
How big is the market opportunity?
N/A
Where is 500 Roses headquartered?
Currently, in Tallahassee, but will eventually be located in New York.
