XYZ Marketing & Distribution has made the decision to provide a monthly video game rental programme as a result of extensive market research. The new programme will be web-based and will provide customers with the ability to rent video games using an online service. Customers will pay a monthly subscription for the service which will allow them to order and pay for video games online then receives them via express post. They can keep the games for as long as they wish then simply return them using the paid postage service.
XYZ will primarily be focussed on providing educational and sports related gaming though the company will not be restricted to these categories and will provide games for all types of platforms.
The intended market will be the general public though the company will be expanding this target to the educational sector and will be providing games that include learning systems used in preschools and elementary schools.
