Thread: Looking for partners to realize the idea of making new business in Bali

It looks a little better but again your main selling point which is your "GPS Tracking and helmet navigator" is no where to be found except for a few lines of text. To me your website looks like any other rental website.

Instead of the banner with the pictures of bali on it put a picture of someone using the tracking helmet and some text explaining what it does.

thank you very much BKT ... I will try to continue to improve it ..

this time my business not only focus on the rental bike + Remote guide only ...
but also create a combination between lodging + motorcycle + remote guide ...
so.. if anyone on this forum have villas with more empty room (available room)...
then it could be cooperation with me ... for I create additional packages "Stay Plus in Bali" as I've made at this time... and payment to you is daily when there is only room rent..

at this time I also tried to market to the Indonesian people... especially jakarta .. and I have created another website in the Indonesian version... namely cutikebali.com

I also open the opportunities of cooperation with anyone to become a reseller... to offer packages "Stay Plus in Bali"...
I will help you make your own website with your own language version.... with your own domain name and your own price.. all for free..
all domain and hosting fees I will pay for it ... and also I will take care of the domain registration... whereas for the hosting, I have my own VPS.. so it can be free forever (i hope... )

please email me to admin (at) balirentalplus.com

note: sorry my english writing is not good ... I just reckless ... write here is always accompanied by google translate...

I do not have japanese speaking phone-staff...
I think not only japanese but there are many more like russian, chinese, etc.
my problem here .. I need the support of other parties to make this business can reach the entire country who came to Bali..
I need a professional sales force and worldwide and need investors to develop this business idea become even better ..

Friends of mine rented two honda vario bikes for 35.000 rp per day in Ubud this year,so your prices are not competitive.

motorcycle that I offer here is a new (2011) so I still want to stick with the price on my website ... unless there are investors who can work with me so the price can competitive..

Kamar tidur= bEdroom,not badroom,very confusing with bathroom=kamar mandi.

I have to fix it... thanks = terima kasih

Why the packages?let people decide for themselves where and how long they want to stay and if they want transport as well.

I actually have a plan for the free package which can choose their own place.. and determine the length of stay alone ... but here I need to have a huge list of villas that can be offered ... for that I would like to invite other parties to cooperate in the provision of daily rental rooms at various places ..

No pictures of accomodation easily accessible,put some with the main text,not only in the gallery.

I've added some banners on the front page ..

please understand here I start with my own capital ... and create my website also by my own .. my spirits high for the successful .. but my capital limited ... I need the support of investors ...

I think you are trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist. I think most people after booking their flights, look for and book their accommodation. How to get around is more than likely decided on after they get to Bali. They have many options whether it is by motorbike, car or car with a driver. Most hotels offer this kind of service, often for a discounted rate for their guests. The price of a driver/guide is so reasonable, if anyone is worried about getting lost, they will take this option. People who rent motorbikes are usually happy enough trying to find their own way around and they will choose the cheapest option. Getting lost is half the fun of traveling.

If you want to offer a service for tourists, I would suggest coming up with something different or unique. Go through some of the travel forums and look for things what people are asking for and where there is no business offering that kind of service. Have a look at popular tourist destinations outside of Indonesia and what services/attractions they offer, that might work well in Bali. Tripadvisor could be good for this.

One idea I had just after reading Von's post, perhaps you could create a guide service, with guides who have very specialized knowledge of a particular thing in Bali, such as Batik, gamelan painting etc. I am sure people would be prepared to pay a premium for such a service.

Many people come to Bali to learn some kind of art like painting or wood carving. Perhaps you could put together packages based around these courses, that includes transport and accommodation. The advantage with this idea is that you don't need to spend much money setting it up. You could even get in contact with universities and colleges in the US/Australia/UK, so people who take your courses get some kind of credit for their degree.

I think I need foreign partners ..

What would you need a foreign partner for? I would first approach local universities and colleges and ask them what courses they can offer foreigners. There are a couple of people on the forum who are coming to Bali for study. How they found out about these courses, I have no idea, but I am sure there would be plenty more people who would want to do something similar.

Next I would go to any other place that teaches some course like yoga, massage, painting, dive master etc. I would focus on putting together courses that are a few weeks or months long. Internships is another idea, but the visa situation is probably tricky.

Then you just have to put up a website with good descriptions, prices of all of the courses you offer. Do some marketing and I am sure you will start getting enquiries from day 1. Allow people to leave feedback on your website about the course. Trying to make relationships with overseas universities and colleges, would come later.

I just think the profit margins for car and motorbike rental must be so slim and already so much competition.

Not wanting to be negative but for me, personally, one of the greatest pleasures upon being on holiday in some place brand new is the adventure of finding my way around and, yes, actually getting lost.

The best adventures and most scenic views have been discovered by just going left when I should have gone right.

People on holiday don't usually have to be somewhere at a special time so it doesn't really matter if they do get lost.

But good luck - I think you'll need it.
