More seriously, the 'matching industry' has two flavours currently that can make money.
There's the geographically diverse Uber model (I want the single nearest transport wherever I am) and the Tinder model (I want all the orifices near me).
For a dog-walking app (or many others, such as say house-cleaning) - you want an introduction to people locally, repetitively. Once you're happy with what you got through the app, you don't want the app.
Maybe what "Wags" should focus on is the broader scope of "I want a local tradesman to do something repetitively".
Provide introductions, take a nominal fee, allow end-user to change if they're unhappy (and take a very low fee for all the happy people)
- tvjunky 7y agoI see this "match making" idea come up a lot. Why do you consider Wags in the same way as Tinder? If a dog walker (let's call him Bob) was doing well and wanted to scale his business. Bob hires 10 dog walkers by sharing his customer pool and adding more customers. Is it "match making" when Bob sends one of his employees to a new job?
