Freemiuim

Freemium is used in concert with other biz models (which ones and why)?Free services is provided in the first instance.So it is important for companies going on Freemium to master costs (ex no distribution, no stocking, no offline shops,...) as a matter of fact such a model cannot be applied to clothes, furnitures and any tangible goods which must be transportated.Morever this model is best suited for online services and downloadable products (ex Skype, VIADEO, IT sofware). In these cases the company can expect a return on investment in that the product once created and published is ready for immediate download without any fee.Also this model is best suited to social, referral and professional networkings where no publicity or advertising is needed. the goal is to find business partners to enhanced the initial projects.Natacha, Fabrizio, Epiphane, Reza (Groupe 3)

Business models are perhaps the most discussed and least understood aspect of the web. There is so much talk about how the web changes traditional business models. But there is little clear-cut evidence of exactly what this means.
In the most basic sense, a business model is the method of doing business by which a company can sustain itself -- that is, generate revenue. The business model spells-out how a company makes money by specifying where it is positioned in the value chain.
Some models are quite simple. A company produces a good or service and sells it to customers. If all goes well, the revenues from sales exceed the cost of operation and the company realizes a profit.
