Good work.The website and concept is good. I think the only challenge will be to stay afloat with the pricing model.The dvd market is so competitive with every one selling dvd for as low as 50 bob.I had a movie website and sold it sometimes last year due to those difficulties On Tue, Mar 23, 2010 at 11:03 PM, Kevin Ouma <kevin.ouma@gmail.com> wrote:

I forgot to mention that we will be keen to use the ushahidi engine for mapping delivery logistics e.g customer density per geographical location which will help us determine DVD drop off points , delivery messengers per zone etc.

Hi all,
I wish to introduce famiflix, (www.famiflix.com) which though managed and run by my wife, I am closely involved in overseeing the technical implementation and personally developing the interface design. Much of the backend was however developed in India.
Though a niche rental service ( Christian and family friendly titles) it is a pioneer on a number of technical and business model fronts in the country :-
- The first fully online DVD rental service ( similar to netflix) that works through a rental queue model - Payments is done through a system similar to mobile credits i.e buy credits through M_PESA and subsequent rentals/ late fees deducted from your credit.When this credit runs low you have to top up. This model allows us to develop unique rental plans in future e.g 50 shs per DVD per night - Other features such as view movie by director, View Trailer, view related movies, movie ratings, top rentals
I will appreciate comments and for those who appreciate these kinds of movies karibu to open an account on http://www.famiflix.com
