What is Idea Space?

From the moment MV Market Place was launched in April of 2010, Idea Space has been a fundamental part of the MV Market Place vision, and can be a catalyst for growth and change in each of the Multivalue markets.

Everyday product managers of Multivalue based products around the world are constantly searching for the next great idea. They assemble task forces to identify new ideas and product improvements. These task forces are generally made up of industry leaders known to be innovators in their field. Unfortunately there are many others in the industry with great ideas, yet these ideas never see the light of day. They remain in the minds of those individuals that dared to dream, yet have no access to promote such change in the industry.

Idea Space is a forum where members of the Multivalue community can post an idea where others can see it, enhance the idea and even vote on the idea. As members vote, great ideas naturally rise to the top of the list, and other ideas sink to the bottom of the list. Even the ideas that sink to the bottom of the list could one day find the light of day as the community discovers them and provide enhancements to the idea.

As ideas become more refined and move to the top and provided the idea reaches the vote threshold set for the product, MV Marketplace will automatically notify the product manager that is responsible for the product category in which the idea has been placed. 

Ultimately it is up to the various vendors and manufactures to determine what goes into their products, but such a system is a great start to building a product the community will want.

So if you have a great idea or simply want to view other members ideas and add your own unique perspective, then login to MV Market Place today and click on the “Idea Space” button on the left hand menu.

What is the MV Market Place Benefits Program?

Every Multivalue member based site needs to answer the question, “What benefits is there to membership?” At MV Market Place we asked the same question and the answer was like most other sites; we want to provide a unique set of features where the Multivalue community can interact.

Well MV Market Place did not want to be just another member based site that offers the same old user experience. So we started taking to members at other Multivalue based sites, as well as other types of membership sites. What we learned was that on average more than 50% of the members of most sites wanted some sort of tangible benefit in addition to the basic benefits that the site was designed to provide. Whether it was a discount at a local office supply store or a discount on education, they wanted monetary benefits of some sort.

With this information in hand we set out to contact anyone we could, to see what benefits they would be willing to offer our members? Since that time we have managed to draft discount offers with eight companies. From educational discounts at Columbia Southern University where you can earn your degree from an accredited university recognized by the U.S. Department of Education, all from the comfort of your own home, or discounts on HP products like that new laptop you have been wanting to purchase, to discounts on car rentals from Avis and Budget so that you can save money renting a car at the next event like U2 University in Denver or International Spectrum trade show in West Palm Beach. MV Market Place is busy forging relationships to bring real value to your MV Market Place membership.

So the next time you’re on MV Market Place, take a look at the top menu bar and click on the “Benefits” option and take a look at the great benefits we offer. Feel free to use the discount codes associated with each vendor and start saving today. And the best part of membership is its all free.
