Directory-like ideas with a twist....
It's only 4:00 AM....I'm on my first cup of coffee....and this nugget popped into my head.
I've still got cobwebs, so hopefully this will make sense......
A guy that was my sister's boyfriend through college is the founde/CEO of a company that owns about 400-500 office buildings. Mostly very substantial buildings.
They have a website for tenant servics. It's password protected, so I haven't been inside, but the "tenant services" concept is basically the foundation of the idea.
You can set up directory like sites for either a single multi-tenant building or a site that encompasses several buildings.
Tenants can expose their full range of services to their neighbors.
They can be charged a monthly fee....they can pay extra for additional ads like banners ....or they can pay a premium for front page and/or top of page listings.
Higher than normal fees are peanuts for major corps.
If you had a 30 story high-rise building with 100 listings, what do you think a sixth floor law firm would pay for a banner at the top of the home page. (heck, maybe you could take bids for that oceanfront property if there's several firms interested)
In addition to companies within the building, you'd list nearby businesses willing to make house calls.
Businesses such as printers, caterers, food, etc.
Make the site a useful services tool.
Some things on the site might even lend themself to some sort of affiliate commission for you.
Basically you'd be listing corporate resumes/ads and businesses services.
Most office building tenants don't presently have a clue who all the tenants are....and what they do....on other floors.
Anyhow, just some food for thought....it's totally undeveloped.
P.S. here's a bonus to such a site.....you now have contact with a bunch of corporate accounts. You're past the gatekeepers.....
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Couple more tidbits......
-if you set up a site, and conservatiely it brings in $500 a month.....and you spend two weeks getting it all se up......rinse and repeat....that's twenty-six sites per year........which works out to $13,000 a month on autopilot.....and who the heck needs Google
-if you wanted to do anything like this through building managers, most (or all) cities have a local chapter of BOMA (building owners and managers association). Building managers are fraternal...love to go to lunch....and BOMA has several social functions a year, like golf outings, vendor trade shows, Christmas partys, etc.. They also have vendor books where you can place ads.
