Changing the industry (i.e., Netflix vs. Blockbuster)


A great example of a business model that has changed the way one industry does business is Netflix.  Netflix sends out 1.9 million DVD's per day. In the past, if you wanted to rent a movie, you would get in your car, go down to the nearest Blockbuster, pick the movie, stand in line, etc. Then you would have to drop it off after watching it. This all takes about 1 hour or more. Today, through ‘Netflix', you can do all the same things for 1/2 the price right from your computer!  Netflix profits are about 100 million per year. Blockbuster Video is not doing anything wrong . . . they are just doing it the way they have always done it and Netflix found a better way!


Send Out Cards offers the exact same business model . . . instead of getting in the car, going to the store, picking out a card, standing in line, etc, in seconds we can pick a card right from our website and have it sent in a click! And . . . we do it for about 1/5 the price!  Today we do about 50,000 cards per day. Can you imagine a day when we are doing 1.9 million cards per day or more?


In fact, I was thinking that on Thanksgiving Day, Hallmark and American Greetings probably had pretty close to zero cards purchased. We, on the other hand saw about 30,000 cards purchased on Thanksgiving Day! Can you see the power in this? We are changing the world one card at a time!
