  2. Q.1: Write a concept statement for NearbyNow . If NearbyNow was still in the start-up stage and Scott Dunlap asked you who he should distribute the concept statement to, what would you have told him? The concept of NearbyNow is the search engine for the shopper to check the items online and where it’s the cheapest store. If the item isn’t available at the store you be may given the option to buy it online. Target Customers Shoppers who want to save the waste time by checking products before shopping; Shoppers who prefer to buy online. I’d to tell him that he should tell this concept to the owner of the malls because it would not happen if the owner disagree this project.

Some internet websites allowed shoppers to find the nearest store that carried a product but: • - No sites told a shopper if a specific store had a particular product in inventory • - Or where is the cheapest place

  4. Additional Gumshoe Research • One thing that heartening to Dunlap was signs that although people like to search and do price comparisons online, they prefer to shop offline so they can touch and feel a product (especially for higher-priced items, clothes and shoes) • Limitation of this concept: • 1. How accurately store track their inventory? • 2. Not all stores can quickly tell a shopper whether an item is in stock. • 3. Some high-end retailers don’t like their products seen side by side with less expensive alternatives.
