Looking for Missing Relatives among unclaimed and unidentified bodies

… recent past, the family may need to time and again check. As in they are repeat customers.
Hard sell. But if your investment is low, you can take the risk.
Initial investment is actually low. But been struggling with marketing it.

For marketing you will need to make it open access. If it were open, this posting alone would have given you several hundred hits and a word-of-mouth marketing channel.

I think we will have to go this way.

…ein is located. It you absolutely have to charge, make sure you have a user base first.

What other ways do you suggest on earning. Those with missing loved ones are already spending say moving between mortuaries, hospitals, police stations----
Escalating stress so nunua tembe za depression, Relatives quitting jobs to support grieving elders, estimated Cost: Up to 50,000/- per family in search only

True. But nobody knows about your service. You will need to put it several millions for those families to know that you exist and trust that you have something to offer. Alternatively, first make it open and have users spread the word for free.

The biggest headache is to make the service known. Once that is achieved, you will figure out some way to make some money.

Free access is non-negotiable. You need it to get the site off the ground. Only then can you think of ways of introducing charged services.

This is what I would do. First, I would frame it as a community service. That way, mortuaries and other agencies would be willing to share information with you. Next, I would have reliable contacts in all mortuaries. This means your site has comprehensive data from all over the country. With such information, you can create a service where you make inquiries on behalf of families at a small fee. Using the same contacts, you can solicit mugshots of unidentified bodies and hire an artist to draw portraits of what they might have looked like in life (I know a good artist who will do it for a hard drink). That would be a unique selling point for your website.

Next, think about organizations (NGOs) that might want to advertise on your website. Approach them. You might also include related information such as lost kids in children’s home. All this work will be adding value to your website. And once it becomes valuable, money starts beckoning. You might even get sponsorships from NGOs and the like.

Best exit strategy is to license it to government

Very risky venture. Unaweza kua suspect of murder hivo tu. The affected family can file a case against you Kwa DCI waseme you worked with the killers to cause the murder ndio mupate biz. The rewards are not worth it

Wacha kuuza uoga ghaseer. They must have all documentations from the morgue and relevant authorities.

Joe Doe for unkown males, Jane Does for ladies. Your business name iko na tashwishi kidogo

How. I would like to know

[Real2]

Here’s a thought.
Make it free.
BUT put ads on the site … Like those YouTube forces you to watch before getting to the content you are after.
Get paid that way.

This is a good idea, you will help solve some people’s deep problems and they will see great value in what you’re doing. However, the lead image you’ve put on the website illustrates pain and grief - which isn’t what you’re selling. Maybe you could use one that shows the relief that comes from the solutions that you’re offering.

Great idea. I know a friend who they looked for their old dementia case dad for years na Alitoka tu asubuhi kama ameenda job never returned. Some hope can be a good thing
