Hi SilverHairs,<\/p>\n
2GreenDots shopping mall is a very new project, prompted as a result of a number of SilverHairs wanting to have a place to offer their products and services. <\/p>\n
The SilverHairsClub website is not suitable, as not everybody is interested in offering their products or services. But the initial discussion groups were initerested, and do have products or services which they like to offer. Of course, there was the physical shops, but high rents turn many off, not at a time when SilverHairs are looking to stretch the dollar. Risks were also a concern.<\/p>\n
A few sessions on e-auctions and small business groups were conducted by different small groups, in the last few months. Besides the popular available internet auction sites, some groups felt the need to start an internet shopping mall. A web specialist was engaged from India, and we now have a working internet Shopping mall. We call it 2GreenDots Shopping Mall. This is new, but it has been well tested. It will also incorporate online payment systems.<\/p>\n
For interested SilverHairs, we hope to give him\/her a virtual shop. If a SilverHairsClub member sees this as an opportunity which can bring fun and yet take him\/her through the Silverhairs years, a shop name will be set up for him\/her. The idea is to do something meanful, big or small, as one enjoys his\/her Silverhairs years.<\/p>\n
We do not know if success or failure will hit us. In the last one year, we had fleamarts, garage sales and small sales advertisement, but all these had failed. But, from the wide experience of many SilverHairs, we know success or failure of 2GreenDots will depend on many factors. But, there is no doubt we will give this a go, a strong go. <\/p>\n
We target to officially launch 2GreenDots in Jan 2007.<\/p>\n
First, we will form a starter group and later a management team with the knowledge and expertise in retail and media experience.<\/p>\n
If you have an interest to be part of the starter discussion group, please send me an email with your thoughts. The starter group will set the ground rules. We will call a meeting during the 1st week of August.<\/p>\n
