Thanks for the thoughts! Love the one day of free parking. Will implement this in a week or two! Our CAQ are higher than a free day at $14.99 so this is perfect!
Love these thoughts! Thanks for the brainstorming!
People use us for: cruise parking, hotel parking, Airbnb parking, when visiting a friend/ family.

Cruise- out of The Manhattan Cruise Terminal. They drive in from NJ, CT, PA and park while they're cruising- saving up to $75/ day.

The others- they want to visit NYC by driving into the city from their local state, but want to use transit while they're in town. Or they want to rent a car from a NYC airport. They pay for discounted parking with us, keep their vehicle parked for the extent of their trip (we don't give in and out access) and take public transport etc. while in the city.

So we've had nice success gaining initial traction with our typical marketing efforts, but wanted to know if locals had thoughts on how to capture more!

We launched Times Square, Hudson Yards, Penn Station, Columbus Circle, NoMad, Tribeca and more. Our target is leisure/ vacation travelers. Thanks for any help!

We Want to Bring Cheap AF Parking to the World (Looking for CTO)

We just launched our Company, On Air Parking, on Product Hunt and our goal is to give the world cheap AF parking. Truly. 30% of traffic is due to people searching for parking. The extra emissions from this is also terrible. We're currently raising a round and are going to donate 1 tree for every parking purchase (we've already done 30k transactions-- will do millions/ year). We think cheap...

Re:Amazon Is Now Worth More Than Wal-Mart on Friday July 24, 2015 @07:40PM (#9945888)
1997 "Lee Scott, the future Walmart CEO who was then running logistics told Dalzell (who Amazon was hiring) that Amazon was a novel idea but that it had limited potential. Don Soderquist, Walmart's COO, said that because Amazon didn't store its own iventory--at the time, it just ordered it from distributors and then quickly shipped it back out-- the model would hit a wall once it got to $100M in sales.
