“Entertainment Shopping” is one of the more controversial genres of startups emerging on the web. The basic premise: you pay for a chance to get something at far cheaper than it normally sells for, but there’s a risk that you’ll come away with nothing. It’s part gambling, part bargain hunting and it’s proved to be very popular, with sites like Swoopo leading the charge and other sites bringing the model to hotels and other verticals. And today, TechCrunch Disrupt Finalist ToVieFor is bringing entertainment shopping to a new market: high fashion.
If you like Gilt Groupe (a site that offers high-fashion items in fire-sales), this should be right up your alley. Log onto the site, and you’ll see an array of high-end handbags and accessories being sold off at a potentially steep discount. If you want to buy one (or at least, a chance to buy one), you need to buy some ToVieFor credits, which run 99 cents and are cheaper in bulk. And then you can get down to business.
Jump into a ToVieFor sale — it costs you one to five credits to join one — and you’ll see whatever handbag or accessory you clicked on featured front-and-center. It is featured with a suggested retail price, which begins to drop. As it continues to drop, you can hit the ‘buy’ button to nab it at the price that’s currently being displayed. It’s a bit like a game of chicken — the site only sells a finite number of each item, so if you wait too long for the price to drop even further, you’ll miss out. And even if you don’t wind up buying the item, you’re still out those credits.
To help allay any frustration about missing out on a sale the site will often offer users, namely those who bid on many sales, some discounts, incentives and gift cards for the same brand if they’ve missed out on an item.
ToVieFor can offer these goods at significantly below retail price because it makes money off of these credits (a similar model is used by other entertainment shopping sites). And brands benefit from this because ToVieFor gives them a new marketing channel to connect with customers — you might not get that Rebecca Minkoff or Louis Vuitton purse at 60% off, but the company can email you a coupon for 20% off.
ToVieFor’s model isn’t totally novel, but the site looks well done. The success of Gilt proves that consumers are hungry for deals on fashion, and ToVieFor’s addictive model could well harness it. That said, the site is going to have to figure out the balance between making money and leaving users frustrated, and it needs to make sure it keeps premium fashion brands on board.
DD: How do you get to the women that buy this high quality clothes.
A: Similar way to Gilt Groupe, targetting women in New York city, those women are our friends. Start there, give incentives to invite friends.
JS: Have you done any trials? If friends are vying for the same thing and all show up to party wearing the same thing…
A: Very much in the way sample sale sites made discounts into entertainment, part of the reason it worked was that it was very exclusive. We may only have five handbags available and 500 people playing…
LL: How are you making sure you get high-end fasion?
A: We work directly with brands. Position it as very high-end. The price point is typically a 300-800 dollar bag. For brands it’s a marketing ploy. If they sell 50 bags at a discount they may sell 5,000 more at full price later.
But, just like in the martial arts, the best startups use the weight of their opponents against them. Bureaucracy slows down larger companies. People do less because making a mistake can be politically costly. Risk takers who are wrong get fired or lose power internally. The larger the company, the more likely it is to be slow.
If there's one competitive advantage that most startups have, it's that they can do more faster. And because they can do more faster they can learn more faster. They can immediately throw things away that don't work because nobody cares anyway. Nobody is trying to protect a brand that doesn't exist, and nobody has any reason to be afraid of small failures. Startups know that's just part of the process.
When you ask CEOs of major companies what they're most worried about, one common answer is "a couple of guys in a garage somewhere." Why? Because their larger and more established competitors have too much to lose to try something radically different. There's too much at stake for these large companies to try to blow up the market to disrupt the existing players. Relatively speaking, startups have nothing to lose and everything to gain by trying radical or non-obvious things. Larger companies are often baffled at just how much a startup can get done and it scares them.
One of the things we talk about with our startups at TechStars is that they simply have to do more faster. This doesn't mean doing random stuff--they still have to be thoughtful. But if they're not hyperproductive as small, nimble companies, then they're fighting from a real disadvantage. I'm such a big believer in this that I named my own angel fund Bullet Time Ventures. It's named after the move from the movie The Matrix, in which Neo is so fast that he can easily dodge bullets. His enemies seem so slow and he has an obvious advantage over them that can make all the difference in the (in his case, virtual) world.
Cohen and Feld talk about writing Do More Faster
When Occipital was in TechStars in 2008, they were faster than a speeding bullet. As a visual search company, they tried several products before having a runaway hit with RedLaser. All of them were interesting, but what really paid off for Occipital was their ability to try their ideas quickly and throw away what didn't work while focusing on what did. RedLaser was the fourth product Occipital worked on in about six months. This may sound disorganized and random on the surface, but Jeff and Vikas were very deliberate about assessing progress at every step.
Next Big Sound built an incredibly beautiful and functional product in under three months. SendGrid figured out how to scale their e-mail delivery infrastructure to 20 million e-mails a day in under a year. Oneforty rallied a community of thousands of Twitter application developers in just a few months. Intense Debate went from concept to being installed on hundreds of blogs in the course of a single summer. Companies that work just always seem to move at lightning pace. By contrast, the ones that don't seem to always be talking about releases and features that are coming "in a few months." How do the fast companies do it? They focus on what matters, and make massive progress in the areas that actually have an impact.
At TechStars and as an angel investor in general, I've been involved with a few startups that couldn't do more faster. They were just as slow to execute as larger competitors. They employed too much process too early, tried to convince themselves that they were absolutely right before taking risks, and thought at the expense of doing. Their great ideas couldn't save them. It turns out that giving up your one obvious competitive advantage often proves to be deadly. If a startup can't do more faster, it usually just gets dead faster.

It's dangerous out there. If you are thinking of starting an Internet business there are some things that you should know about the animals that are on the prowl looking for your money. The Internet is a marvelous tool for making money. Some people make fabulous amounts of money. Others spend their hard-earned money on all kinds of foolish ideas and quit in disgust. It doesn't have to be that way. Use some common sense and read and investigate moneymaking ideas before you part with your hard-earned money.
The first animal waiting out there for you is the skunk. This character makes the uninitiated reader think that they can make money without doing any work. Making money on the Internet is far from easy. It's hard to begin with. It does involve work. Do you honestly believe that you can type letters at home, or watch TV and get paid, or simply fill in a quick survey and make $40 an hour? Keep dreaming. These skunks out there wait for the lazy stupid people. Advertisements for these types of make money at home products abound. Save your money.
Weasels are out there promising to set up websites for you that will bring in all kinds of traffic and wheel barrels full of money. Buy this product and make thousands a month. Well, months go by, and the only ones making wheel barrels full of money are the sellers of these programs. Don't fall for it. Let the buyer beware.
Keep an eagle eye open for this type of Internet animal, the Multi-level Marketing (MLM) vulture. The pitch goes something like this, "get in now on the hottest product sweeping the country". You wind up buying a "starter kit" and that is the only investment you will ever need. If you buy the "distributors kit" they claim that you will make even more money. All that you get is a garage full of junk. Look elsewhere.
Watch out for the software snake. This critter will try and sell you an expensive piece of software to automate your business. Usually, the programs are full of bugs and seldom fulfill their claims. If you look around there are many sources of free programs that you can download. Just type in free programs on your favorite search engine. Again, read and study topics related to making money on the Internet. Don't spend any money until you have learned about the free resources available on the net.
The wise old owl is what you are looking for to get started making money on the Internet. Owls will teach you what really works on the Internet. One free way to get started is to use Blogs and Google Adsense. Blogging involves writing interesting articles that people want more information on. Advertisers pay for small ads that are placed on your blog. When someone clicks on the ad you get paid.
Another trick that the wise owl uses is putting links on their blog or website that the reader will click on and hopefully buy from that merchant. This is called Affiliate Marketing. When you see ads on websites and you click on them you are taken to the merchant's website. If you buy something, the owner of the web site gets paid a small commission for referring you.
You can also make money by creating your own product or e-book and sell it. There are numerous e-books on all sorts of topics from finding air travel bargains, gardening, violin playing and so on. These e-books are great sellers. Many people make a nice living selling the information contained in these e-books. The customer gets instant information. The seller has no inventory to mail out. Everything is done electronically.
There are people making great money selling all kinds of products on eBay. Some people buy things on eBay and turn around and resell them. Others sell e-books. Still others sell physical products ranging from CDs to automobiles.
The best advice for making money on the Internet is to study what works for others. Look on Internet marketing forums. You can also look for the hottest trends and sell those products. Blogging with Adsense is a good tool. Affiliate marketing selling other's products works also. Selling your own e-books or those of others is a good moneymaker.
Beware of the Internet predators out there. Investigate thoroughly before you buy anything. Look for free information and software on your favorite search engine. Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn't. Use your head, put in the time, and you too can be a money maker on the internet.
