kBuilder Workshop - simply create own professional website for small business
Final Decision Maker: Small Businesses Owners

The product we offer allows small business owners to very easily create their own simple professional website.

The businesses will save time and money by attending the 2 half day workshops, and unlike other training courses there will be something tangible at the end of it - a website live on the internet.

The workshop is very much a hand holding excersize following the 4 step process. As each workshop is 3.5 hours long it is more like a long meeting. As such it easily fits into a normal weeks scheduled workload.

The product was developed with the assistance of many small businesses and focusses on keeping things simple. This is why basic word processing skills are the only requirement If you can type - you can build your website in a few hours. We have many testimonials to that affect and will happily pass them on.

This product has been developed with NON technical people in mind.

In Summary

People with no technical skills will have a website live on the internet that they have created within a few hours. Importantly they will then be able to update it with ease from anywhere in the world where they have access to an internet connection.

$750-1000 for Product for building and maintaining website, 2 x training workshops, 1 year web hosting, 2 years domain name registration, after course support for duration of hosting contractSeeking: Purchase, Investment, Distribution

Data Source or Basis for Assumptions
# of Possible Final Decision Makers 26,000,000 80% As there are 26000000 small businesses we have taken a 100th of this figure. Some of these will not have a website and this product is ideal. It is also ideal for small new start. 
Revenue per First Purchase $1,000.00 80% We have sold this product in a small area of the West of Scotland at the prices stated (price varies depending on the exchange rate) 
% that will Repeat 80% 90% This is based on experience over the past 3 years that indicate there is approximately a drop of of about 20% per year. Reason - Some of the businesses go out of business. 
Number of Annual Repeats 1 90% There is only a need to repeat once - although there are possible other upselling opportunities. 
Revenue per Repeat Purchase $200.00 90% The websites are ALL hosted by us on our servers and they MUST be hosted on our servers as that is where the product resides. If the hosting fee is not paid the website goes down. 
Reseller (Trade) Margin 20% 40% Our current relationship model in Glasgow has a 20 reseller value. Thsi is a model we are currently testing and will look at again soon. 
Producer Profit (EBITD) 20% 70% There is no actual cost to the product - only incidentals like; training room hire, lunch, trainer costs, and marketing. Much would depend on marketing spend.

Inventor(s) Commentary:
This product has been subject to live and real testing over a period of approx 3 years in a confined geographical area (Glasgow - Scotland). Within that time approximately 150 businesses paid the equivelant of $1000 initially and $200-300 annually thereafter. This was achieved with limited resources and limited marketing.

If exposed to a much wider and larger market place with appropriate marketing then the potential income is very significant for this very simple and easy to understand product
