Amazon Whisperer

My idea in the making is a mobile application that I have named SqueakyClean, name not final. If someone needs their room cleaned, they take a picture or video of it and people nearby who signed up as cleaners could see pictures/video and bid on the ability to clean the room. This will make the cleaners use lower prices to be competitive.

1) How would the app make money? It would be similar to Uber. For every cleaning that my app creates, I would make a certain percentage. I would wait several months though before I implemented this, so the app gains traction without people claiming that the company is skimming too much off the payments. Even 5% would make the company a tremendous amount of money if the app got large enough. 

2) Maybe the app could have a section specific to cleaning animals. I know many dog owners in the world where mobile grooming would be very convenient.

3) I think the addition would make the app more inclusive. The more people are on my app the better likelihood they'll use the cleaning services.

4) Since my business idea is an application, my product will be related but obviously different. Included is a "Woof Washer Dog Cleaner." The item is a hose attachment that creates a circular loop that blasts water AND soap from many spouts. You basically thread your dog through a hose needle. 

5) There aren't many reviews so I will use reviews from copycat products as well. Some say that the product doesn't work as intended, mean soap and water isn't coming out properly. Some people also complain that the ring is too small and they need different breed sizes.

6) To improve the product I would improve the quality first. I would also make 2 sizes. One for medium dogs like the one picture and one for large dogs and I would research what breeds needed the large size so customers didn't improperly order.

7) I think these additions would be good because they would expand the market and it would help more dog owners.

  1. Collin,

    Great idea! I think anything that deals with apps and making things easier is probably the way of the future, and definitely the direction entrepreneurs should be looking. Much like you, I designed a product that's hard to match on Amazon, because mine is a B2B tech package that could help out Netflix with some of their unresolved issues.

  2. Collin, I like the concept for a cleaning service app, especially because if it is a bid system the customer will get the best price possible! I have a service business concept as well so I understand how it might be hard to find a physical product, but funny enough both our products are dog related. your suggestion to improve the product are very useful and I feel the creator should have addressed them sooner! feel free to check out my blog http://lovetravellives.blogspot.com/2016/03/amazon-whisperer.html
