Lateral expansion ::1) Co-branded shopping tours ($)2) Co-branded tv shows ($$$) - Bargain chaser. - Bargain traveller.(Just sell the idea and demand 10% of revenue or something.)3) Bargain chaser warehouses ($$$)- Selling things like iPods, USB, Memory Sticks at cost (with rent factored in) to BC members from small warehouses. Also sell one of a particular type of product, like V3 or a certain digital camera. (Value adding.)- Selling things very cheaply to non BC members, but like $30 more. and then try to suck em into buying a membership.- Only sells 10-20 products. Very limited range. But lots of it and very cheap. I reckon all you would have to do is put it ont he site, put a big canvas sign out front, be near a big set of traffic lights and watch the word of mouth go insane.- The warehouses would aim to break even if only patronised by BC members. Hopefully visits by non BC members would push the profit up.- Also, sell whichever one or two toys whcih are extremely popular at the time.... like at Christmas time or something.4) Radio slots.
