E-Business Model

The concept of “price2play” is to offer an enhanced nightlife experience at a much affordable price more than ever before. This plan was particularly established with sole intention of providing cheap bottle services at Bars/Clubs/Lounges and affordable transport services to the ever growing numbers of potential clients. The purchasing of its products and services will involve actual quotation of one’s own price as well as make deals online. However, it is strikingly remarkable that access to products and services of the “price2play”is not only restricted to the most popularized online dealings but could also be done in person. Price2play is an online web platform created by the “innov8t group” comprising of five individuals; Richard Dallojacono, Mollick Kak, Mohit Keshani, Gabriel Rodriguez and Sheel Shah.

Although the services of “price2play” are tailor made to suit the needs of youths between the ages of 21-35 year old, clubs and transport service providers, its services have proven very essential to the “young at heart,” joints and clubs owners as do club operators. The primary aim of this plan is to solve various challenges that people face especially during night outs when they seek transportation means to and from nightlife destinations in vain due to sheer lack of it or due to insensible hiked prices for the much needed services. However, from the relationship between the vendor and the end user, interests to buy other products and services could emerge. For instance, the end-user may further need security or accommodation while the vendor may need long-term partnership. It is predictable that the business will generate its income from the percentage sales made by vendors, membership registration and later tier membership system. Additional sources of revenue include advertising that can be made by other people inclusive of the end-user whose extra fee levies will contribute to the business revenue too.
