Business owners perks

I am employee in a teleportation script business and I have seen some other groups that organize businesses, like a bank or a supplier of certain items.

Since I love the opportunity the game gives us to make up business ideas and implement them, could we get some more assistence on running our own business?

Some ideas:
- get your business approved in the bureocratic halls to gain access to those features
- make advertising easier -> more message boards, maybe some rentable advertisement space, or even letting you carry a sign around
- allow a feature for customers to place orders -> groups are messy (hard to find, take space in your chat list if you even open the chat) and you can only join a limited number of them. Also, there is no way to get an update if someone posts
- yellow pages for businesses
- a section of the site or the forum dedicated to businesses
- skills that allow you to employ people, rent a shop, pay salary,...

Do you have other ideas or do you support the idea? Write below :)

Feel free to tell other business owners about this thread!

  • Maybe being able to have separate "wallets" in game for the organization of currants...

    Other than that, I think OP covers it!

    Great thread idea!

  • No other business owners that have an interest in this?

    With the new key system, running a shop would be even more interesting.

  • Why not a  "housing block" with shops instead of houses.  As long as you are there or someone with a key is there the shop is open.  Instead of your mailbox getting flooded with letters have the shops each have their own name to address.

  • I've been wondering about that

  • Yeah, a commercial area would be nice. I know other players have pitched in the "business" idea before:

    http://www.glitch.com/forum/ideas/5440/
    http://www.glitch.com/forum/ideas/4696/

    I really do think businesses would make Glitch more interesting. 

    so this gets a +1 from me.

  • Thanks for listing the other threads dealing with businesses!

    Do you have any ideas on how to make the devs listen to us? :)

  • Just because the devs have not implemented your idea already does not mean they are not listening to you.

    They have stated over and over that they read this forum, discuss the ideas presented and determine if they fit into the vision of Glitch. Even if the love your idea and want to put it into the game, there are a lot of items already in the queue. Be patient.

  • Got nothing to say but "+1"

  • Well Kookaburra, unless they post here and say that they are considering it or they are not considering it for a reason they give me, I am not really convinced they have even seen it. There are so many idea threads, its kind of chaotic since you can't see which once were already seen by the devs.
