We are doing well! We could make this work.Just go with multiple ways to generate revenue.

What we thought

What we didn’t think

How would this scale?Too many revenue models would confuse the customer.

• From the class session on keeping revenue models simpleWe took advice

• Jim pointed us towards facial recognition We took more advice

• Patented technology that provides multitude of facial attributes and applies makeup online

We talked to Modiface

• 20 more women interviewed• Started receiving feedback and beauty questions on FB

While we continued to talk to customers

• This time with Twitter and Slideshare• Insight Today FB campaign seems to be working (300+ Likes,

65+ people talking about us)

And we continued with promotion

experiments

What we did

Page 5: Team Vogue Block 4 Presentation

What we found

Pivot

The key lies in a “recommendation rules-engine”

We will use our expertise in beauty industry along with a network on external beauty experts to create a prototype of this engine

We will provide “instant” personalized recommendations – practically ZERO marginal cost of adding a new customer, not limited by the number of beauty

experts we have

Keep the revenue model simple by offering pre-paid subscription and timed auto-shipments

All of this needs ongoing

customer validation
