Pricing now available...

Okay! Now that we've settled on the design, we are also putting together a preliminary price list...

We are priced competitively: our lowest-priced box goes for only $25 a month. That's < $1 a day! And we got lots of boxes along our high-profile storefront, starting at only $45 a month...

We are innovative: we are proud to be the first store in Toronto which offers multimedia capabilities. This includes our dual large-screen displays, and for selected boxes along the windows we provide power outlets so you can hook up digital frames! No other provider lets you do that!

We can promote your business 3-dimensionally: beside the box, we can also help you advertise on our large-screen displays. Prices goes as low as $50 per month... and your store is automatically included on our online network.

So that's our package!

What's in the name?

I just remember that I never explained how we got the name for the store...

As a new business, we're looking for a name that is: a) memorable; b) catchy; c) demonstrative of our enterpreneur spirit. It'd be a place where people find hidden gems that are not available elsewhere, and voila! We thought about GEM... as a stock market symbol!

GEM is an alternative stock market for startups in Hong Kong (http://www.hkgem.com), similar to New York's NASDAQ. This market is for enterpreneurs who need to raise funds on the public market, but not quite ready for an IPO in the more tightly regulated stock market. This is a perfect allegory to what our business is all about: providing space for budding enterpreneurs a place to showcase their products or services, and help them prosper into bigger business...

So that's the story behind our name, Growth Enterprise Market...

Store Layout

Hi!

We're back... we got a picture of the store's layout! It's going look pretty close to this...

Our store is Unit 118 in the mall (good Chinese number!)

The store's got 3 sides facing the mall, and we're taking full advantage of it... we'll have lots of boxes - over 70 of them spread over 5 layers - which has tremendous exposure to the crowd. And on top, we'll have two large TVs which will run ads that can help promote your business. The boxes at the end of the window will be a little different from the diagram: they will have the same window space as the other ones (not double), but they will extend inside along the wall, so they're larger than a regular box.

Inside the shop, we'll have quite a few boxes inside as well, and they will be lined up against the wall. The middle will be modular, so we can try different things out...

Now that design's done, we're ready to furnish the store...
