Great story! Have you considered video? http://videocarlot.tv
Video sounds really cool, but our niche doesn't seem to care for it much. It's mostly the high end dealers that like them. Maybe one day when we target them.

#22Good article and being domain-specific has allowed you to really focus. It looks from your FAQ that you're still in 'beta' (although that word is not used) from your pricing policy. Are you experimenting with different pricing here or are you just being secretive? Curious as pricing has always been something that I've struggled with setting with our products, so wondering how you're doing it
Thanks! Nope, no secrecy. I really don't believe in it for most situations. It's mostly my tendency (weakness) to focus on developing new features than to update the marketing site. I'll be updating this with pricing very soon since I finally hired a great developer to help out in some of my coding responsibilities and to help shape ZZA's policies and future. ------------- Here's our current pricing: 10 cars or less…
Ahh yea! That's what I was looking for the whole time on your site. Good article ...

Thanks for this and amusingly I've followed the same 'path' - what feels right. I majored in Business at university (and only subsequently taught myself to program so I could converse correctly with the programmers I employed) and we were taught to do a lot of market research before making a decision. I've never really done that though and just chose a price which is why I asked the question. Maybe the market ultimately decides by whether they buy or not. Thank you for sharing though - really appreciate it and I'm sure others on here do also. Best of luck with your venture

#24There was a great story about a guy that did a similar thing for the fast food industry. Anyone got the link?
I would love to see that link too!
