1. I am very good at marketing, sales, and financial aspects of businesses. I have worked for Student Government Finance as well as at a company doing jobs all across the board from accounting to social media. My aspirations are to help people and make a difference in their lives with my business.
2. The product I would be offering, is one to help others organize and coordinate their lives so they are able to better manage their time. It would be an app on your phone to help you organize dates by color grouping, lists for things like groceries or to-dos, as well as a way to sync it to your computer to disable the use of certain sites, like Netflix or Buzzfeed, for extended periods of time to decreases distractions.
3. The app would be best suited for high school to college-aged students who have to juggle a social life, school, and free time efficiently.
4. People would pay money for this app if they are one who is easily distracted and not good at managing their time. Some people struggle with grades because they don't complete assignments, or don't do them to the best of their ability because of a lack of time.
5. My app incorporates more than other list or calendar apps do. It also can keep you from being unproductive by blocking certain websites until the time runs out on the app. So if you set it for an hour, you can't access Netflix until that hour is up.
I believe all of these concepts go together. I know of all of these products being sold separately, but not combined. I believe with the demographic we would be focusing on and the product itself, there would be a huge market willing to buy this product. More importantly, parents would be willing to pend money on the product in order to ensure their child does well in school and stays on track.
Hi Sarah,
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I don't think I would have come up with something like that. I actually find myself often wasting time on Facebook, or reading soccer news in the computer, rather than watching my lectures, so something like this can help. I think you can even think about marketing this product to professionals that work in environments dependent on deadlines, such as bankers or architects. This service would also be beneficial for folks that work from home, since they are vulnerable to many distractions.

Hi Sarah,
ReplyDeleteI think this a great idea and you did a great job explaining it. I think it would be extremely effective considering I find myself experiencing this problem a lot. I really hope that someone brings this idea to life. You can check out my blog at http://entgabiefleischer.blogspot.com/2016/02/idea-napkin-no-1.html
Your post was interesting to read. My appointment app is very basic and I did not know that there were aps to keep you from using other apps. I could see where this would be a beneficial tool for students to keep them focused on their studies and to prevent them from becoming sidetracked whit something else. And, maybe I’ll see it on the market someday.

Hey Sarah! I think you have a great idea here to a growing problem. It seems like you know your target audience and what their needs are which are crucial in the beginning stages of a new idea or product. One thing I would consider is possibly incorporating ways to import other schedules onto your own calendar so that way you can share schedules and that could open up a whole new market. I know plenty of people at my work would love to be able to know when certain people are working in case they need coverage. You have a big market to play with here, so I think it is a great idea! If you get a chance, check out my idea over at my blog:
