What problems are BuyBC trying to solve?

We are pitching for US$200,000.00 for 10% equity,Series A, to develop, design and implement our website

PROBLEM 1: Online shopping is too complicated

1.Annoying ads2.Cluttered websites3.Log-in issues4.Shipping costs5.Inexperienced users

OUR SOLUTION

1.No pop-up ads, but well conspicuously placed ads2.Neat and classy pages3.No log-ins for first-time buyers4.By using countrypreneurs in every country, BuyByCountry will have access to the best options in shipping, including free shipping for orders over a certain value5.Extreme ease of use to invite shopping, advertising and linking – thus attracting the baby-boomers and silent generations

PROBLEM 2 : Merchants not delivering worldwide

Have you ever filled a cart with goods, only to find out during check-out that your “purchases” cannot be delivered to your country ofresidence? I have!

OUR SOLUTION : BuyByCountry will have countrypreneurs in every country

Our countrypreneurs - logistic companies such as Parcel Ninja in SouthAfrica, will take delivery and ship worldwide if a linked company does not deliver worldwide.

PROBLEM 3 : Random unrelated sites through Google

Google results are more money driven than content driven.

OUR SOLUTION : BuyByCountry will provide country-specific results

BuyByCountry will yield country-specific results – very much like aglobal yellow pages for products and services in every country. Need an English-speaking lawyer in Armenia? Go to the Armenianpage of BuyByCountry and you can take your pick of English speaking attorneys.

PROBLEM 4 : Micro and Small Businesses do not have a presence on the web

OUR SOLUTION : BuyByCountry will advertise and sell products from Micro/Small Enterprises through their countryXclusive page

Further to that, BuyByCountry will sell Exquisite and Exclusive products, under the countryXclusive Tab, available only from our website.

Background of the conceptChoosing a dress for my son’s wedding

In April 2012, I started searching online for evening dresses to wear to my son’s wedding on 1st Dec 2012.

The reason why I wanted to buy online was because I did not want to run the risk of wearinga dress, bought In South Africa, and find one of the guests with the same dress.Being a seasoned online shopper since 1997, I didn’t have a problem buying the dress formy son’s wedding, online.I wanted a decent dress, not a discounted eastern evening dress, so I googled:“Evening dresses + USA”The first pages that came up - in Sept 2012, were all from Eastern websites with great sales,huge discounts and a lot of misspelt words, which immediately put me off.Eventually, after going through numerous irrelevant websites, I finally found a website with evening dresses made in USA.

CHOICES….CHOICES

And the winner is… the blue one, bought, shipped and received in 4 days
