By making a monthly or yearly payment, these companies give you the possibility to advertise DVD movies on your website, then take rental orders and pass those orders to them, who are in charge of the DVD distribution. This way, you earn money by acting merely as a ?gateway? between the customer and the actual rental service provider.
It sounds good, but? How do those companies make money? Well, it's as easy as doing some math: you pay them a monthly fee, you charge your customers a monthly fee. That's right, you don't charge per rented DVD, as ?real world? rental business. This scheme has some evident advantages:
Your supplier company gets paid on a regular basis and at the same time it gets publicity for their service. Your customers may rent unlimited DVD for a fixed monthly payment, usually lower than what they would pay per DVD on a classic store. Besides, they have the comfort of DVDs being delivered to their home door.
You get the convenience of getting paid per customer and not per rented DVD, thus you do not have to face the common ?inactive customer? scenario, where you have a large customer database but a much smaller income.
You also make your service available within a very big area from the very moment you set up your web site, as opposed to setting up a physical rental store, which will take a long time to become famous beyond your neighborhood.
Another advantage is that you don't have to spend the huge amount of money associated with setting up a ?real world? store.
Knowing this, it is not a surprise to see this online DVD rental business growing more and more each day.
Over the past 12 months or so, already established offline film rental brands such as Blockbuster have converted the traditional DVD rental business online, which operates in a similar way as it used to offline really, the difference is you pick the films you would like to see from your computer, also it’s a load cheaper! When you've got the film (through your letterbox) and seen it, you post it back in a supplied envelope. The significant difference I saw between film rental on the web and physical DVD rental is that on the web it is more of a bargain, and a lot more generous in the amount of DVD's you can have and the amount of time you can keep them. Although the brands differ a lot in their prices, the bargain factor of them are all suprising. Imagine how much blockbuster save by not having to use offline resources such as a the shop, people, and display - so bigging up on the net dvd rental is in their best interest, and coming up with the deals to persuade the public to rent it online is the future. There are a load of companies to choose from and nearly all take the monthly membership model as standard. So for a set price every month you can rent a certain amount of DVD’s at a time, and once you post them back you get the next batch. LoveFilm in the UK have recently introduced a pay as you go model where you’re not tied into any subscription. Amazon, Blockbuster, LoveFilm and Tesco are some of the companies getting in on this new model, competing with good deals. All companies have a great selection and a few promote more than film renting, with video game rental too, which operates on the same principle. My advice, is to look at how many films you rent a month now offline, and if it’s less than once a month you probably wouldn’t want to be tied into any monthly DVD rental subscription. If it’s maybe one or two every 30 days consider a low number subscription contract and so forth.
