Before you embark on creating
your Web presence through a suitable website or
start investing resources on your WWW
initiative, it is very important to get the
feasibility of your idea evaluated.
Very often this part is
short-circuited in the excitement to “get
going”. Time and again, we have seen numerous
initiatives fail, simply because there is no
sustainable model behind it.
To assess whether your model
is feasible, it is imperative to have a clear
idea of your goals. For most businesses
including new businesses and start ups, it is
most often that earning direct revenue is the
primary goal. But for others, such as well
established offline businesses, the goal could
be just a supportive presence to the main
offline business. If so, what do you see your
website doing for you? These are some of the
questions you need to ask before verifying
feasibility.
The goals having been
defined, you need to match the suitability of
these goals for the Internet space. For this,
you may need to talk to an Internet Business
Consultant or people around you, preferably
those with some kind of experience in the
Internet World to get their opinion on the
suitability of the model for the Internet. You
may need to talk to lay persons who are likely
to form your customer segment on what they think
of the idea.
The idea also needs to be
researched and studied in greater depth on the
Internet itself. Researching and analyzing rival
offerings; assessing your product uniqueness or
how you can differentiate your product from
those of competitors; studying the
competitiveness of your offering in your
industry with relation to the WWW; assessing
marketing potentiality and costs – these are
some of the issues that MUST be studied before
you move ahead with your plans.
