Scopes make StartUpNation site "Sticky"

This is an idea - scopes can make this site very "Sticky" in a Wonderful Way.

BTW - Sticky is defined as an (adj.) when used in terms of a web site, sticky refers to a site’s ability to keep visitors on the site once they have navigated there or encourage the visitor to return frequently (i.e., the visitors “stick” to the site). 

A Web site’s stickiness is important to online advertisers because the longer visitors stay on the site the more exposure those visitors have to potential advertising.

What about Scopes?!? ....

Tony-

I really like this idea!  Let`s see some examples.

Thanks CHAIRman!

OK!

Here goes ... just a couple of examples for SuN people to think about this kind of new Business "Scopes"...

Online Retail -  Choose simplicity of online website - It is well accepted that simplicity of websites should be the goal for e-retailers transacting with customers online. Experimenting with the latest website features is less important than ensuring that customers can buy in as few clicks as possible.
Business Info-tune: Determination will get you through this.
Ben Franklin: Expense is Certain. Gain may be temporary and uncertain; but ever while you live expense is constant and certain.

Technology Business  -

Consultancy  -

Restaurant - Start A Late Night Menu - What kind of business are you doing late in the evening? If you are like most operators, the answer is probably, "Not much." How about developing a late night meal segment to turn those wasted hours into increased volume?
Business Info-tune: Enjoy the small things you find on your path.
Ben Franklin: Venture Sure. Great estates may venture more, but little boats should keep near shore.
 
Multi-level Marketing Business  -

Coffee House - 25% off Group Discount - Offer a 25% off discount to any group or individual who would bring in groups. Create a web site explaining what the coffee house has to offer, and what meetings are taking place and how they can attend these meetings.
Business Info-tune: Allow confidence to carry you through each day.
Ben Franklin: Hold or Drive. He that by the plow would thrive, Himself must either hold or drive.

Marketing & PR or Design -

Import/Export -

Brick-and-Mortar Retail -

Bed and Breakfast - Start the pampering with the first impression. Don`t be shy about advertising your amenities. If you put fresh flowers in the rooms every day, or you provide robes for your guests, say so. Start with the simple things. A piece of Godiva chocolate on the pillow goes a long way.
Business Info-tune: All things in moderation - even moderation.
Ben Franklin: Riches to the Careful. Learning is to the studious and riches to the careful.

Manufacturing -  

Service -

What do you think?

Thanks!

This is great! I am all for it.  I would really like to see others chime in on this topic as well.  I am always looking for inspiration each day and something like this is perfect; it meets so many small business needs.  I am working on a "scope" for manufacturing and I will get back to you.

Good!

Experts in each field here at SuN should be tapped for this undertaking, definitely!

Maybe the scopes should be weekly at first and a roll out to dailies in six months. Thanks for the input CHAIRman!

Lots of input is welcome!

Hoping others chime in on this topic too!
