It should be really interesting at the start of the marketplaces operation: unknown manufacturers with cool and useful goods, excellent competition and much more. But what will happen over time? Vendors will develop to the level of "big" players and then new small manufactures wont be able to win their competition in Hamster. Then Hamster will turn into what Amazon is now, and lose its main idea ((
And do you know that Hamster isnt a permanent marketplace for companies? The developers position it as an intermediate stage between Kikcstarter and Amazon. It means that when certain results are achieved, the manufacturer leaves Hamster and moves to a site like Amazon in order to offer his products to a wider audience. Therefore, there will be no problems with the development of new small producers.
And how will the process of transition of an already large company from Hamster to Amazon take place? Will it be compulsory or by choice? If a manufacturer has a choice, can a company go to Amazon and at the same time stay on Hamster? After all, who wants to lose potential buyers, even if therere little of them...
Good afternoon. It seems to me Ive heard that the process of leaving Hamster will be forced. So when the vendor reaches certain financial results, he is asked to leave the marketplace, in order to prevent him to hamper the development of other young companies. Therefore, the platform should be supported by constant competition between small companies, large organizations dont belong here.
It is very interesting at what financial results will the company be "expelled" from Hamster. Friends, does anyone have this information? This point became really interesting to me)))
No one has said anything about it yet, but I think that it is still difficult for developers to predict this. They need somehow to actually evaluate everything and then make a decision.
In this case you can use math a little: first, companies pay 20% of each sale in the form of a commission, and then can switch to a monthly fee of $ 25,000 per year, when the amount of the commission for the same period exceeds this amount. Let's say the average cost of a product is $ 100. Vendor pays a commission of $20 per sale. He needs to sell 1250 products per year or a little more than 100 of them per month to accumulate $ 25,000. With this nember of sales the company wont be kicked out of the marketplace. As a matter of principle, 100 sales per day is not much. Therefore, I believe that vendors can be excluded from the platform with sales volume of approximately 2500-3500 units per year. But this is only my subjective opinion, let's see how it will turn out.
