The CyberCafe. You all know the place. The local Java Store became wired, not unlike most of the patrons of these fine facilities. It started out as an exotic hangout for the techno buffs and grew to become a popular hangout in the bigger cities. As the Internet grew, CyberCafes gained in popularity. The trend, however, has appeared to have reached critical mass. CyberCafes are beginning to fade. The Internet continues to evolve and as more and more people have access at home, there becomes less of a need to go out for it. Does this mean doomsday for the Public Internet Industry? On the contrary... As the Internet moves from novelty to luxury to necessity, the public's demand for access will increase. Their needs will continue to evolve as the industry does. You simply need to stay on top of things, and always give the customers what they want, WHERE they want it. Take the CyberCafe, as an example. Once upon a time I went to a place like this to use the computers, and maybe have a cup of coffee while I was there. The only reason I would go there today, is if they had some GREAT coffee...but if they had such great coffee, why would they need to set up computers? Herein lies the problem. The Internet used to be the main attraction. Now its a side show, but an important one nonetheless. The key here is to find some good main events, and set up the sideshows. Here are a few suggestions for Main Events & Sideshows: MAIN EVENT SIDESHOW ------------------------------------------------------- Dinner at TGI Fridays Checking the movie listings while waiting to be seated Laundry at the Local Chatting online with Laundromat friends from the Ukraine Convention at a large Catching up on competitors hotel in the MIdwest product offerings in the business center Flight to Miami Comparing Car Rental Rates while-u-wait Oil Change at QuikLube Shopping for a new car online while seated in the waiting room. Get the picture? There are too many locations to list, and new possibilites are popping up every day. The Internet is so vast, and it fits in such a small space. How many magazine and newspaper racks would you need to put the same content in a room as one simple Internet Terminal? As the technology changes, it becomes important to leverage the content rather than the machinery as you grow your business. If you PLACE it it...they will come! Thanks again and my very best wishes to each and every one of you during this special holiday season.
