Within a year I will be millionare, and not having to spend a cent on upkeeping a store. The internet has really opened doors for business ideas and made them extremely affordable. Now I just have to find a cool animal to name my company after :) I wonder if I can take this buisiness idea and sell Mens shirts!

He just needs to maintain his customers since he already has experience selling 5,6 million pants. I personally thought selling clothes was the hardest enterperneural activity. However, he should be careful where he set up his company's location in terms of manufacturing. He mentioned he just made enough to keep up business when set up at New York. I think the reason he is selling pants well is because the quality looks really good, as well good customer service. Many people have tendency to buy clothes that fits their body more than finding the brands or other clothes that doesn't fit them. Mr.Dunn seems really smart in what he is doing in his business.

There are many shops online and sometimes it's hard to make your shop attractive. Bonobos, however, it's a great and awesome idea which definitely can attract people to visit and shop. Even as a girl, I am interested at this as well. In my opinion, online shopping is very familiar to people nowadays and is not a creative idea any more.

Bonobos is interesting because it is tailored specifically for men, while most online shopping is geared for women. I think this is an interesting idea but the company may need to review its return policy and high prices in the future. Online shopping is becoming more and more prominant in the world today.

But, for people who like to go shopping also as a means of getting a kind of change from their mundane, it's kind of an off stream thing.

Actually he found two problems. The first being that men have trouble finding a pant that fits them well. They either cost too much or spend too much time looking. Second that men don't like to shop in stores. I immediately thought of my dad, and how much he HATES shopping. He would go with me to the mall, but hated every minute of it. I personally don't get it. I guess it's a guy thing. I thought it was very risky for the company to allow customers to return the pants no matter what they did to them. I thought it was an interesting idea though because customer satisfaction is a big component of any successful business. I liked how Andy said "if you give them the gun they won't shoot." By the company trusting their customers with the return policy they're creating some what of a bond. I think that this was a good idea on their part. With free shipping both ways and their extremely flexible return policy, men can buy different sizes and return the ones that don't fit. I thought of my own troubles when watching the video, because I too struggle to find a pair of jeans that fits me right. Before I saw this video I actually came up with a company some what like "Bonobos." It allows customers to be measured for a perfect fit, and design their own clothes and accessories.

I agree with Allison. Men and espically teenage and young men spend between $200 and $500 on a pair of True Religion Pants. However True Religions aren't comfortable for everyone. Why is it that pants like those are not overpriced but these are? And to top it off online shopping is becoming a huge market. Women and some men online shop all the time. Some people enjoy online shopping so much is has become an addiction. Bonobos has taken the gap in the economy for online pants shopping for men and filled it. Also, the passion of Andy Dunn will make the company go far! You know.. "the number one characterisitc shared by successful entrepreneurs is a passion for the business". I am 100% on board with this company!

But i guess whatever earns has to be a good idea. The name is pretty cool though. I am actually a little clue less, I don’t understand how can mailing back pants earn millions of $.
