Article


The article about Vente Privée, is more of a critic about the founder of the site Jacques-Antoine Granjon. The writer claims that in order to become as successful as the site is today, the creator of this online icon took disloyal competition measures. Most of the partnerships of Vente Privée are based on exclusive partnerships, which make it difficult for the competitors to enter the market.

Until now, we mostly know this business model thanks to sites selling clothes or other rather small items. With the economic crisis however, other more complex products such as cars, didn’t provide high sale rates. This is why I think in this situation, it could have been a great business opportunity to offer a private online sale for cars too. Of course, there are already Sites that sell cars cheaper than in the regular store, but they often sell used cars too, which makes it different from vente-privée.com.
In order to find possible revenue sources, we will analyze a website, that sells new and used cars:
- Selling margins
- Advertising
- Partnerships

Problems Solves:
- Cheaper Cars
- Stock-out flow (important during the crisis)
- They make the technical reviews for free
- Promotion platform for the supplier
- Cash Flow that can invested into R&D
- Pre-sale

Globalize InnoCentive

- Make the Internet page more visual and explicative
- Reorganize the different elements, and make it easier for solvers to find the companies and the domains they are the most interested in
- Resort to visual thinking through clusters, spheres and bridges
- Develop advertising and public relations on an international level, based on the country targeted
- Use glocalization, to be adaptive to each market and than find out how the field or region relates to others.
- The cluster concept:
For example a problem concerning a new Bottle cap, is linked to several clusters. If I am specialized in engineering caps, I will be able to find these kind of problems in the clusters: Food and Beverage, or health care, or engineering, Lifestyles&trends, HACCP, etc.
