  2. Discover Alibaba • Your first assignment is to get an idea of what Alibaba.com actually does, and how they do it. • Provide some examples of what services and options that are available to prospective clients. • What services would you see as being necessary in addition to the standard offerings (i.e., what’s not there that should be there)

  3. Choose a product • Pick a product that your group thinks would be a good money making item to sell at retail in the United States • Do some product research and describe the unique characteristics that make this new product better than existing models. • If it’s a new product, what niche’ market are you filling with this design.

  4. Getting the product manufactured • Describe the process you may have to go through in order to get this product manufactured. • Does it make sense to manufacture overseas? • What laws apply (if any) in getting the product manufactured (i.e., environmental, health, safety, etc)? • What are the estimated costs (production/import costs, selling costs, transportation costs)?

  5. Market the product • Describe how you would market the product. • How do you handle advertising? • How would you sell it (eBay, mail order, retailer, personal e-Commerce website, etc.)? • What is your estimated Market Demand (if it takes off, or if it fails)? • How do you handle fulfillment? (i.e., inventory, packaging, shipping, etc.)

  6. Conclusion • Can Alibaba help you in your overall effort. For example – • Choose a Product: • Finding and choosing a product to sell? • Getting the product manufactured: • Manufacturing, advertising, legal issues, cost estimates? • Market the product: • Marketing, selling, packaging, inventorying, shipping? • Your overall experience with Alibaba and your opinion on this type of service. • Good/bad?
