The Best Local Business Site Ever There has been a lot of talk recently, and a Jupiter study, saying that only big companies will survive on the web. They say that a decent e-commerce site costs one million or more to build. And that may be true, unless local businesses start using the secret weapon employed by a NYC video rental company. It is an online video store that guarantees delivery in under an hour to your Manhattan home or office of the movies you pick, along with a variety of snacks including ice cream. Delivery is free.
Microwave popcorn is sent free.
The rental prices are better than Blockbuster's and the snacks cost no more than they do at the supermarket. You watch the films then drop them off at a local restaurant's kozmo drop box. This concept works even though Manhattan is full of video stores because it is easy and it really does what it promises. Kozmo's system is a model for all kinds of local businesses, from dry cleaners to pet food stores, book stores, shoe stores, you name it. Delivery from a local business in under one hour adds instant gratification to the internet formula.
