Free Lunches…

Sometimes it gets so difficult to understand the client’s perspective and if you are a platform it becomes even more confusing some times …. there’s an advice coming from both the ends and its like firing happening with one bullet making you think the logo should be like this and the other forcing you to say this is better! But thats the fun of being a marketplace – there’s no dearth of innovative ideas and it truly is creativity unlimited.

But then there’s a set of people who would try to make most of the marketplace and try to get as much delivered as possible for as less as it could get – so then there would be a slew of contests with below par reward amounts and obviosuly if the reward is so less the creatives dont feel motivated enough to participated. End Result – the client doesnt get what he expects – the creative doenst get what he thought he would from the platform.

Key Learning – there’s no way you can get a dominos pizza with cheese topping and thick crust when you are paying for a local vendor pizza! No free lunches…! Good part of a marketplace is you will always find people will to put in good effort at whatever price but the minute you start pushing it down and down …the spark, energy and the fun of marketplace is dead.

So guys make a worthwhile choice on what you want to eat – dominos or local..both can be good but you cant complaint later!
