The user gets quick information about their favorite talent in minutes, and can hire in seconds.
Startup Revenue Model • The Company has gotthree subscription plans for the artistes. Artists that subscribe for the ‘Have Patience?’ plan pay a minimal amount of INR 2500, while the ‘Get Discovered.’ and ‘Instant Gigs!’ plans are priced at INR 6500 and INR 32,500 respectively. All the three plans have a span of one year, starting from the date subscribed on. Apart from these plans, StarClinch charges a nominal service fee from every artist, for each booking made – certain exceptions prevail according to the subscription plans.
Uniqueness about Startup • StarClinch has the largest artist-database, which has crossed more than 9000 registrations so far with a monthly average of 200 artist bookings. Users can search across 14 categories and 100+ subcategories to find the required talent. The organization claims to sell artists at rock-bottom prices, without the intervention of any middlemen. The company has released also its Android app and will soon go the next level with an iOS release.
Startup Challenges • There exists a conventional, offline mode of artist-booking across the world. StarClinch’s biggest challenge is to gain trust among people when it comes to paying and hiring an artist online. Secondly, it is quite a hard task to reach small cities where Internet usage and online presence of people are low. Moreover, there are also other companies that are providing same services.
How different from nearest competitors ? • Unlike other online artist-booking portals and talent-managing companies, the entire process of ‘Artist Booking’ is carried out in utmost transparent and efficient way. The Business Development team spends ample time in understanding client’s needs and offers options of artists to client, as per their budget. All the artists registered on StarClinch.com go through rigorous checks and scrutiny before their profile goes LIVE on StarClinch.com’s website. • Once everything is agreed upon, there is no going back on the finalized terms and conditions, except in certain unavoidable and absolutely necessary circumstances. • StarClinch believes in client servicing, which includes responding to every client-call promptly and resolving their complaints and issues in a time-bound manner.
