Mybox

The business by Mybox cannot be more examplary of the quote by Warren Buffett,' Buy commodities, sell brands'.

Mybox is pretty much a homegrown business, probably by a young Indonesian lady, who realized that there must be a better solution to organizing her shoes closet? In this case, there is no better way than Mybox: kotak sepatu transparent ajaib, or otherwise translated as the 'transparent magic shoe box'!

Marketing Tools:
- Website: Considering there is a decency to purchase a domain rather than using one of the free domain hosts, the website has a page rank of, wait for it.... 0! Only available in Bahasa Indonesian, the website is a simple 1-page interface, with no sort of visitor interaction. It is purely, a 1-page information website.
- Facebook: With a fanbase of 111,851 members, this is a very impress & pretty successful fan page! If you are probably thinking that 111,850 members are sleeping members, you are wrong!
Product Range:
- 1 product only! Although available in 4 colors, at the end of the day, its really only 1 product!

Last but not least, my lesson learnt from Mybox:
1. Find a niche product
2. Market
3. Sell
4. Earn

If only it was as easy as it looks. Time to sift through Alibaba.com!.

Dear Mybox founder, thumbs up to you!
