The small company Apple, began in a garage with a starting capital of just $1,750 (the amount that Steve Wozniak mustered up the table by selling his old VW bus). It grew into a billion-dollar corporation less than 30 years later. Hardly anyone could have guessed that – perhaps not even Jobs and friends.Nevertheless, they stuck with their idea – a visionary, forward-looking idea. And that paid off in the truest sense of the word. Visionary ideas not only have the potential to change the world, but are also unbelievably lucrative and profitable. The problem is that most people only recognize them once they have long been in the mainstream. [Tom’s note: Thomas Watson, 1943 chairman of IBM said, “I think there is a world market for maybe five computers.”] You might be wondering what all of this has to do with you. Very simple: What if you could benefit from a visionary idea that has the potential to, let's say, fundamentally change our shopping and consumer behavior? What if you were among those who are already sitting comfortably in the proverbial train and are there from the outset instead of like many others who first jump on once the train is already going, once the visionary forward-looking idea has already become mainstream?
Whether you believe it or not, you are now a witness to a revolution that will fundamentally change the world. You don't believe it? Just wait. Your day yesterday will not differ greatly from today's, today's, which is why it is probably hard to believe that exactly in this moment a development is taking place that may have previously unimagined consequences.If we look back to the invention of the combustion engine, the steam engine or the telephone, we are sure to all agree that these inventions changed the entire world and all of our lives extremely…Behind the so-called "conveniences of our modern life" are terrific inventors, people who were far ahead of their time and who changed the entire world with their visionary ideas. And they also didn't do too badly for themselves either!
Steve Jobs and the invention of the first mainstream computer is a perfect example of a visionary idea that changed the entire world and our lives. In 1976, Steve Jobs and his colleagues paved the way for a technological development that is seen as a matter of course today, but at the time was rather ridiculed and dismissed as a gadget.n the late 1970s, no one could have imagined that a PC, notebook or tablet would be indispensable today, that we would basically do everything from shopping to carrying out business with this "gadget." The "toy" became an integral part of our lives, without which we could no longer make do. At that time, hardly anyone knew what potential was in the invention of Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne.
In recent weeks, we at OBTAINER have been reporting on a new form of online commerce, known as m-commerce. M-commerce (mobile commerce) is basically the advancement of e-commerce (electronic commerce) and has the potential to revolutionize our shopping and business behavior. Already today, the Internet, only an incredibly short time after its mass availability, is called one of the most important developments of mankind - and rightly so. For the Internet has not only changed our communication behavior and shopping habits greatly, but entire economic sectors have arisen that could not exist without the Internet.ternet.
When Apple introduced the first iPhone on the market in 2007 and the first iPad in 2010, the company revolutionized our potential uses of the Internet. The (real) mobile availability of the Internet ushered in a new era and now, after e-commerce, is putting forth a new form of online commerce: m-commerce. M-commerce is still a very new concept, which is why there are only a few sophisticated and practical usage possibilities compared to e-commerce. Of course, most of us no longer only check our e-mails on the home desktop PC, but also naturally on the go. Facebook has also already arrived in the mobile age. But so far no convenient and effective m-commerce concept that is suitable for the masses exists either in the conventional economy or in sales. And that is exactly what could change now. The company that is the first to start a functional m-commerce concept is a European sales company… is already ushering in the next era. We are talking about FlexKom, which started with an innovative and visionary business model in 2010 and since then has been able to record tremendous growth. The forward-looking core of the business model is the combination of local retail and online commerce. Now this model is being expanded by a functional m-commerce modeL This produces a four-fold win-win-win-win situation for all groups involved. Customers receive discounts for their purchases at affiliated retailers. Retailers benefit from acquiring new customers. (What argument would be better than buying from a retailer who guarantees discounts on the products offered?) And the FlexKom sales partners also benefit, because they build up a lucrative and profitable business through the FlexKom system with a real passive income…a true passive income is possible…
It is impossible to miss the fact that there is a great demand for loyalty cards [or apps]and discounts. This is not least reflected in the thousands of FlexApps acceptance points in many countries in Europe. The demand for discounts or loyalty and retailer benefits does not need to be awakened, for it has long been there…the results: a true passive income…
FlexKom has definitely recognized the signs of our times and is increasingly focused on m-commerce.The equation is simple: FlexKom + m-commerce= FlexCommerce = success. M-commerce will lend the business of FlexKom an additional boost, but that is not the end of it… E-commerce will change to m-commerce. This can be said with certainty, given the technological development of Smart-phones with Applications. And one thing is also certain: The company that is the first to launch an effective m-commerce concept that is suitable for the masses will create an immense competitive advantage for themselves that is worth real money - more than you can imagine now. The company that launches such a concept on the market could draw level with the e-commerce giants like eBay and Amazon – and even surpass them.
What if this company already exists? What if it is a European start-up that in just three years has recorded incredible success stories with a simple and yet distinctive business idea? What if you recognize and take advantage of a visionary idea that is just beginning to sprout?
