What's Next?

Existing Market

   During the Amazon Whisperer assignment I found it difficult to think of a future product to offer. Since then I have come up with a couple of ideas. These include a partnering app that allows you to know the wait times at other entertainment ventures including theme parks, movie theaters, etc. Another idea is to apply the same concept to bathroom lines. As a women I strongly relate to this idea, waiting in lines in bathrooms is a pain in the butt. 

Interviews:

Out of all the people I interviewed all preferred to be audio recorded. 

    For these interviews I happened to interview three women, all of which loved my business idea. When i mentioned other possible ideas they were all on board for the bathroom wait time app (I guess I am not the only one with a small bladder who hates waiting in lines). One of the best suggestions I received was to limit the data use and size of the app. One woman said that while she is sure she would use the app, if it were too big or took up too much data it would be the first to go when the storage full message popped up. 

   My future and the future of this venture has many different paths. Ideally after a successful income from this app the next step would be to develop others like it. According to the feedback I recieved from my interviews I could see the bathroom app being successful especially when applied in sports events, plays, and musical venues. 

New Market

   Currently I am targeting college kids and families, to target the complete opposite would be to look at the elderly or children. For this assignment I am going to focus on children because I believe that would be more fun! Having children wait in line is not the easiest of tasks. I believe that I could help this process by combining games with the wait time app. For instance each level corresponds with the time at which they have to wait. Or it could even have an informational basis. Each minute wait helps them learn about a new number or letter or fun fact.

Interveiews:

For the privacy of the children and respect for the parents I only used voice recordings for this assignment.

   This was my favorite part of the assignment. Children are the most creative and entertaining interviewees. Their input was helpful however. The kids loved the idea of a fun game. They didn't want to wait in line anymore than adults do. While interviewing the children I also had a chance to speak to their parents. They recommended adding videos to the app for the kids to watch. 

  Other recommendations included coloring activities and an online menu so the kids could have a drink waiting for them at the table after they so patiently waited. This would also speed up with eating process as people would already know what they wanted to order before they even sat down.
