Give and take. Give whatever the customer wants then in return Take something back - in our world is money. You said you have seen something good and want to do it, from my point of view is call research or get reference. Since no two business are exactly the same, just like McDonald and Burger King both sell burgers but very different. And their business idea may be similar and the way they deliver their food is just alike, but their business revenue is very different. From that point it is all about marketing strategy. So sharing some other ideas from others is a very good move, because you can never always be the first one to think of "THE" first idea. Now go ahead and make your move.
