What new software are you speaking of xan? As for the USPS problem, I think it may be a while if ever before a fix for the sorting machine comes.
Hey, they did finally complete the Godfather trilogy, way to go GZ. I know I personally was a little turned off when I noticed they didn't have it but am glad they are building their inventory a bit.
The key is finding a happy median of both new and old, speaking of which does GZFX have Godfather III yet? You are basically right Simple, the quarterly will dictate their actual progress and is well worth the wait at this point. I am simply thinking of what our future priorities should be, which is customer satisfaction. I certainly want to go to da moon! lol
With all respect xan, I am having trouble with your posts. I think your cost numbers are a little off for the dvds for one thing. Another is this is not the SUV market. People will wait a year for a car they really want bud, they will not put up with crappy online rental service when there are plenty of (currently) better choices out there. Another point I would like to make, I do not believe we want to cater to the smaller portion of the market that watches older off the wall movies, most people are going to want what is "popular". As a business man you should know more than anybody that the media plays a huge role in people decisions today, including which movies they would like to watch. Just a thought... ;)
Good feedback bud, thanks. We are just discussing here, no bashing or pumping :) One thing we also need to remember is as investors of the company we are biased to the quality of service we receive... that is we are much more patient than the typical consumer would be I'm sure. The 'reality ' is that there is good room for improvement, but we are operating and hopefully making some progress...
This really concerns me as well. I just don't see how GZFX can make it if they don't try to appeal to the market. This grass roots campaign is a joke, I would be surprised if most of the people that go to these 'events' they sponsor know how to operate or even own a computer. You can't force feed this stuff to people who don't want it, this service appeals to tech savvy people.
On another note, if service does not improve subscribers will easily get frustrated with bad service and they have TWO other LARGE companies in hefty competition to choose from, which in my eyes does not help us at all. Blockbuster and Netflix have proven that they can maintain customer satisfaction and the subs that do end up leaving will most likely either try the other big dog or leave the online rental market completely with a bad taste in their mouth. The only way we have a chance is to match or beat the competition's service, until this happens I'm afraid we have no chance. At the very least we should have the damn new releases readily available to subs…come on now! I am very anxious to see what this quarter has to say, take care all and please feel free to comment on your recent experience as a GZFX customer.
wow, photoshop'd it and everything...rub it in why don't ya ;)
looks like your off a decimal place.
Is this old?
Better check your spell checker.
holding well so far...
What this puppy needs is some steroids!!
I have a buddy who is a truck driver for the post office. He informed me that alot of the dvd's that netflix sends out never make it to the customer because they are destroyed by their routing machine.
can't wait wick...
Thats not even $9,000 right now. We need some damn PR!! Something!!!
About 10,000 hits a month with no marketing, just search engine. I'm a student on a budget:)
btw what does eom stand for??
I've got a link to GameZnFlix on my San Diego based site:
http://www.sddrinkspecials.com
Does that factor in advertising cost simple?
Yessir, if you would like to give me some approx points of measurement I can figure her out fairly exact for ya ;)
Thanks for the pm xan, I just hope they can get something significant going here soon or it will start to look really bad on paper no matter what their good intentions might be.
prof, are we assuming that your balloon is a perfect sphere?
Hey tony, how many hits do you get on your site a month? Also, I think some of the stats for GZ are out of date bud.
Thats over 220,000,000 shares in the past 4 months! OMG! IMO they need to make some faster progress then focusing advertising on one DC at a time will bring them. Population of Nashville is somewhere in the 600,000 range, from the latest stat I could find.
I have not read it because I do not have an online Wall Street Journal subscription, but thought it could be very interesting for us if somebody has access to read it. You can get to it through this link:

Has anybody read the article in the Wall Street Journal about an investor bid for BBI?
No kidding, that PR was embarrassing!
I agree, but its not a priority right now. As far as functionality, the site serves its purpose.
I don't think the PPS is impressive by any means, but you must admit that todays volume was quite substantial.
The only bad thing I can see coming out of this is loss in confidence that GZFX can actually make it in the online rental business. Although they will not spend nearly as much to gain subs like BBI did.
You better be drinking King Cobra at this PPS.
Yes, you are correct.
They did give them the best overall rating on that site. If I were the average consumer I would feel stupid not choosing GZ after reading that review. Now we just need some more ADVERTISING!!!! Geesh....
Great incentive! Don't you think making this company and stock successful is in his best interest now?
bummer...
Does anybody have a log of the chat session last night?
Thats what I was thinking. It was disappointing to see how little they spend on marketing. Service is running fairly smooth, I say now is the time to push! Up the marketing JF!
Glad we have an understanding.
First of all, I do not feel I need to explain myself to you.
Second, I said they need to take a major STEP towards that direction considering the way they are diluting the PPS. I understand that they need money and dump shares to aquire it, but I also understand that investor support will decline dramatically if the PPS keeps dropping at this rate.
ditto ;)
GZ needs to take a MAJOR step towards breaking even. With PPS the way it is, by the time they get their business model into full function they may just miss their opportunity.
