Moving in/out help and shopping for furniture - would you be interested?

Hi,

I am wanting to guage people's interest or response to the idea of having help with moving (ie. furnishing and decorating) apartments in the Zurich area.

If you were moving to Zurich and could have the opportunity to - would you be willing to pay for someone to do a style analysis on you and then do all your shopping for your new apartment and organise all the installation of the furniture and decorating for you?

What would be a reasonable price you would be willing to pay for that kind of service and do you think it is something that if it was offered people would make use of?

I am really seriously wanting to start a service offering this - basically getting the person's requirements - needs, style, budget etc and then doing all the work for them to get their apartment ready for them and doing it all in a really short time span - ie. a week from start to finish? Then they would be able to move in and everything would be taken care of.

And on the other end offering a free pickup service for their furniture that they don't want to take with them when they move out, but that is still ok, ie. not the stuff that should just be chucked out on the street.

What do you all think - would you be interested in something like that? Do you think a price per hour would be better than a fixed rate for the service - I would want to keep the prices really reasonable so that the service would be available for people with all kinds of budgets.

Offering a basic, midline and topend moving in service package kind of thing.

Can I have your feedback or suggestions please? I was a bit unsure about posting these questions because I don't want to give anyone else any ideas to steal first, but in order to guage response I have to put the questions out there.

Also - forum mods...is this the right place to post this? Wasn't sure as I am trying to scope out people's responses to a service like this, but wasn't sure if it should go in the business section or not since it is more to do with housing issues and wanted to post it in the housing section as that is where most people who are moving or coming and going would be reading...so would get their perspective on it??
