It’s more like a license verification service and online catalogue, like an anti-Etsy, where nothing is handmade and everything is available elsewhere. This is secured in the business plan by having the licensees ship their own products from their own warehouses or stores directly to customers

If you listen to the 1st "podcast" episode, there's an interview at the end of it where Nathen tried to explain to an interviewer how Eegeez works and by the end of it, I arrived at the conclusion that neither of them understood what it does/is supposed to do E: Also loling at "from the comfort of their warehouse".

You don't get it? Oh, geez! It's more like UberEats if anything. Just attempts at connecting merch stores/licensors with the customers by an app and whatever credibility Nathen can muster. A service that nobody needs, except *maybe* people obsessed with franchises, fandoms and paying too much money for Spider-Man(tm) branded underwear, who can't wrap their heads around Amazon or whatever on-line merch stores exist already. It's a game changer only because Mazri desperately needs a success in his life The big trick is Nathen doesn't want to do any actual job around it. Just an app and his idiotic branding around it. No infrastructure, logistics, personell, anything that would need maintenance.

laserghost posted:You don't get it? Oh, geez! Yeah but there's nuance here that Nathen doesn't understand. Ubereats/Door Dash etc work because restaurants don't have their own distribution chains. Many don't offer delivery so there's an actual niche there offering some value to the vendor as well as convenience to the customer (at inflated prices for both because the middle man has to be paid, of course). I suspect what Nathen did was look at the Door Dash business model and say "YES LIKE THIS ONLY WITH GARFIELD" and that's as much thought as he put into it.

But the key to UberEats and all those other companies is they provide the delivery, which otherwise wouldn't exist. They add infrastructure for a fee. Egeez adds...? E: f,b.

i'm brain damaged enough to where i think i got it nathan once mentioned something along the lines of "arabs are nuts about brands!! can't buy enough", he himself is brand-crazy, he had those videos of him at whatever dubai mall that was basic as poo poo but that's what he and presumably others are into so he wants to replicate that experience, online, with the argument against Amazon is that amazon doesn't vet things and I guess egeez is both the organization that will verify that X brand items are coming from Y manufacturer and Z (something else idk) while also being the marketplace that directs orders from customers to the companies that sell brand stuff consumers want this because they want The Real thing, and nathan thinks what companies care about is that the customers are made whole and happy about their decisions rather than "how much money can we wring out of these dumbasses", and thinks they'll pay egeez some dollar amount to get that guarantee

nathan views himself (but I don't think he's aware of it) as the consumer in that situation, the "little guy", and it's a "little guy banishes corruption from the system" story that he's trying to sell and he is an abysmal storyteller

My take on eGeez is that Nathen is obsessed with licensing and truly believes that being a licensee somehow confers prestige and exclusivity. So it just burns him up to know that there are people out there selling knockoff Garfield T shirts who didn’t put in the hard work and be young enough to secure their own license. Then he took that anger and tried to turn it into a business model, which clearly didn’t work

Has he stated how he's going to check that the products are actually officially licensed? I mean it's easy enough for the obvious names, Disney etc., but what about smaller shops that have sublicensed Aqua Teen Hungerforce keychains or something. What's the vetting process that sets him apart from just buying straight from the source? The whole Spiderman/Spider-Man gently caress up on the official Iggies page does not inspire confidence that he can actually do the one thing he claims the product does. Also that was mostly retorical because he obviously can't do any of that and this is never going to work because it's Nathen. Just curious what his vision is for this process

I can kind of see how a non-incompetent thing like that would look. A bit like amazon, but everything is sold through the seller shops. The front page would probably have paid placements for "The Disney shop has 5% off pyjamas today", and there would be some sort of site builder to let the brands shape their stores. Add in a site-wide search so you can still search for "t-shirts size male medium" or whatever, and it could theoretically be a thing that made someone some money. Especially if it wasn't competing with Amazon. The appeal for brand-conscious shoppers would be that they could get a mall-like browsing experience: both "here are a list of brands that have stores that all work the same way" and "here are stores with everything genuine available from each brand". The appeal for the brands would just be that it's another place for customers to find them, but that could be enough. Not that Nathen has done a single percent of the work to make that real.

Realistically, consumers will just go to Amazon to order Spader-Man underwear instead.
