Setting up a 24hr study place!

last SG · 2008-10-08T16:48:45+00:00

I guess the unique selling point can only be 24hrs open

cassie SG

What is the unique selling point ? You can get all this at the library ...

or at home. plus food/drinks at home is FOC

eagle SG

You have a point there. You major competition Macs is also open 24 hours. And they offer great food (well thats what most people think).

I think there should be atleast 2 more really catchy selling points if you want to sustain a good business.

seems like Macs has TS's idea way before him

Near to city, very hard

If around HDB areas, you could get rent for $1k a month, and charge a very very basic fee, e.g. $2 a month, and attempt to earn from snacks or drinks vending machine

That hardly covers the expenses.

I suggest you do a SWOT analysis first

oh yes! hahaha.

but anyway, if you were to really set up this place, renting a place near city area is not going to be cheap.

If u also take in the consideration that if u gonna hire someone to man the place day and night,

how about providing free dinner and breakfast if the fees is $10

Then wad with the free dinner and breakfast when u have to pay 10?

Nslkc SG

sorry admission fee will include breakfast and dinner

Fatum SG

dude ... if it's affirmation for your idea that you're trying to seek, you can already see that you're not getting it .... and with good reasons I think ......

so ..... it's either good luck ! .... but good luck ! ....

or ..... move onto the next big idea .... ;)

seotiblizzard SG

Hmm, why nt try to be more specific in ur target audience?

hiphop2009 SG

when parents (esp secondary school students) come chasing for their children at the study area...well....

If i were parents of my children, i probably wouldnt take the excuse of letting my secondary school children study at the place in the midnight.

seotiblizzard SG

Dont target sec schs lor.

Tertiary institutes seen like a better idea.

Nslkc SG

i was thinking targeting at student that is preparing on their N,O, A levels which I realise really need a place to study.

When I was younger, i went to Changi airport, Mcdonald to study but always have to worry about being chase away.

I have also try studying at home but i always fall a sleep at that point i was hoping that there is such a place whereby i can study properly and safely.

Any way thanks guys for your views.

Strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats? hahaha

seotiblizzard SG

Firstly, why dont u do some research to see if theres a real need for it?

Trump_Card SG

Strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats? hahaha

It's one way you can tell if the business idea is viable mah

suggestion to Threadstarter:

Put forward a proposal over here, let us examine each section of the proposal one by one so that we can help you if you really wish to set one up.

Example could be viablilty, feasibility, economically sustainable or not, blah blah blah.

kopiosatu SG

i say, impose cover charge and get 2 glasses of coffee

then these young ones can go to a bright open room / building with no music and study together.

hahahaha~

maybe one shot of caffeine for $3 will help.
