BebeBargains: Changing the way mothers run business, globally.

We've completed the coding of BebeBargains, a baby goods marketplace built by mothers for mothers. There has not been a marketplace targeting the niche market of used and brand new baby products, implemented on a global scale and BebeBargains aim to be the first – both on web-app & mobile app version.

Truth be told, I actually had this idea some 6 years ago when I thought I was done with birth after having my second live child. I was accumulating too many baby products from carriers, outgrown newborn clothes, toys, books, strollers and diapers even! There were so many unopened baby gifts, or clothes that seemed as well as brand new since babies outgrow their wear so quickly. Not to mention, being a mother who love dressing up her children – these babies of mine, also for some reason, have a wide collection of footwear way before they can actually walk!

With this said, although its nice to give away to the next successor which could be a friend or close relative, some baby products are quite expensive such as a stroller (which can be up to SGD 2000) and some mothers, just like me, would like to recoup some of that expenses through selling a good stroller to another new mother for half the price. Having babies are expensive, with their furniture to baby bath to clothing to transportation and to toys. And they piled up over years.

How will BebeBargains be different?

These features are currently available under Phase 1. Our app is live in 17 countries, and will hit 24 countries by January 2020 entering the EU Market.

1. List & Sell in 2 minutes

Any mother can list a used or brand new baby goods, onto the platform within 2 minutes. They securely log on via Facebook, and upload as many product listings as they want to. They can choose to set a fixed price, donate (free) or allow counter offer. They are upload as many as 4 images, typed the description, pick up address or set local postage fee.

2. Shop for Bargains

Any mother can simply start browsing for items she like, including adding some to her wish list or make contact with a seller to purchase it. As a buyer, she can filter the search by location, price etc for a more accurate search results. There are over 300 product categories, that allows them to find exactly what they are looking for.

3. Chat is King

When it comes to trading or selling used or brand new baby goods, a lot of questions comes into play by the buyers. At this phase, every transaction happens after an agreement over chat. A chat feature on the platform allows any two people to interact over a product, discussing payment terms, features of product and logistics arrangement. We aim to build a highly engaging community of mothers. This way, mothers never need to reveal their personal contact details.

4. Absolutely FREE

No, there is no cost to this. Free listing and zero transaction fee. It's 100% free regardless the product is sold or otherwise. We are merely a platform, with aim to connect sellers and buyers in our marketplace to offer more options and discounted prices to mothers all over the world.

5. Seller's Ratings & Reviews

The buyer has the opportunity to rate a seller, which will help them build trust with new potential buyers in the future. We are allowing our own community of mothers, to grade and recommend sellers within their community.

6. Forget local, sell global

As the first baby goods marketplace, present in more than 15 countries, our sellers have the opportunity to list and sell products in communities outside their country. This encourage global trading and cross border transaction, with a potential higher revenue and sales for the small business owner.

Marketing Bebebargains

We will be working closely with event organisers, social media influencers (moms) and running giveaway campaigns on Facebook and Instagram to connect with more ambassadors to promote our app. Our company also run internal events such as parties and photo shoots, and we blog of such events and stories of mothers on our website.

Future Development for Phase 2

Growth and scalability is inevitable for Bebebargains which is why we are already geared up for Phase 2 to grow the next level.

1. Rental Options & Barter Trade

Apart from donating and counter offer, products listed can be offered for rent or barter trade. That way, products can be exchanged with another product and good products can turn more revenue through renting options.

2. Escrow

Although we are not earning from transactions that happens through our website, our next investment is the implementation of Escrow to provide better security in protecting bother sellers and buyers.

3. Token Implementation

We aim to introduce tokens by January 2019 where sellers can purchased and utilize the tokens to book and invest in featured slots to boost their impressions.
