Want to be a convenience program in the same city, is there a future?

In recent years, my friends and I have made two platforms together, one serving the convenience of the same city and the other selling local products. At first, I visited Shanghai, Wuhan, Beijing and other places. After brainstorming to determine the profit model, I started. The actual development is average, which can be said to be a failure. As far as convenience service is concerned, the biggest problem now is promotion. We only had a few hundred thousand at the beginning, and the development platform was actually tens of thousands. However, the later commercial promotion made us suffer a lot, mainly due to insufficient publicity funds, which led to low recognition. People are used to shopping online for a treasure, a shop, a cat, etc. It's hard for you to convince customers to download an extra APP. They even suspect that your APP has a background, that is, by downloading, registering and giving out red envelopes. Therefore, we should be cautious about making this platform now, unless you can attract venture capital, try to choose a big city.
