What's Next For Jeffrey


1st Set of Interviews

summaries
I interviewed three college students. Two of them were independents – not a part of Greek life – and one of them was in a sorority. They all expressed interest the app, for many of the same reasons but all three had different favorite attributes of it. The first I interviewed really struggles financially and said the coupon book aspect of the app would be God-sent. The second said he constantly goes to Broward courts to play basketball but either no one is there or it is too packed. He wants to be able to see when he should go to get the most out of his time. The third one said she goes out a lot and spends a lot of money throughout the week and wishes she could know when and where to go out on a given night of the week.

Talking to these potential customers opened my mind up about the calendar aspect of the app being very important. Posting all of the deals throughout the week will allow the users of the app to be efficient in their social outings.

2nd Set of Interviews

For this set of interviews, I talked to two adults Wednesday this week in downtown Gainesville. I presented them the idea for my app and they seemed to like. Initially I was planning on marketing to only college students and allowing older people to use the app by their own will. Throughout the process I have changed my mind and look to make two different versions to cater to the two separate audiences.

The adults told me the idea was interesting and they loved that it would be very cheap to use. They claimed that the calendar would be the most fun to use as they normally stick to the same bars each and every week when they go out. One of them made a suggestion that with the calendar, to keep away from to much clutter that I could upload all of the events for the month and letting the customers opt-in to each bar they wanted to see on their calendars.

    Hi Jeffrey,
    I think if you could really get every social opportunity in Gainesville, from basketball to clubbing, listed on your app then you would be creating something revolutionary for UF students. Right now the social events of Gainesville are just scattered across Facebook, Instagram and a menagerie of other websites. Having a centralized location where all of these events were posted would make a world of difference. It would save time and money for many UF students and enrich their quality of life.

    Good evening Jeffrey,
    It's good that you have your target audience down to a T considering all the things people in your interviews wanted were things you said you would include. It's also nice that you want to expand your product to be available to a bigger market. I planned to do something similar. Cool product, hope it goes far.

Jeffrey Practicing Opportunity Identification, Cont.

Economic Opportunity #1 - Recently the government ordered that gas stations are not be allowed sell fruity flavored vape juice cartridges. The economic opportunity stemmed from me watching the news and hearing my friends complain about the new rule. This opportunity can be taken advantage of by classifying the stores for the gas stations as vape stores or smoke shops Economic Opportunity #2 - Cryptocurrency at this time is not very fluid in terms of liquidating your shares and turning it into real cash. It still, however, holds value so I believe making a casino or any other business that deals with trading currency would be an extremely viable opportunity to make money. This opportunity came about through talking to my friend from Spain, who codes among other things. The use of cryptocurrency puts to use a non-fluid asset and it could perhaps turn into a credit card that - when you swipe - turns your cryptocurrency instantly into cash. Gov Opportunity #3 - There was a rezo...

Jeffrey Celebrating Failure

Something I try almost every week is a strict workout routine, something I have not followed through once. That accounts to many failures. Now my body weight fluctuates naturally depending on what I eat or drink and the excess calories are not offset by burnt calories from working out. I’ve learned that I need to better at planning. I need to make strict schedules and write motivational notes to myself every morning and night so working out is always on my mind and it consciously becomes a part of my life. Not that I am embarrassed by my failures but more ashamed. I am ashamed that I couldn’t keep to a schedule and be the person I want to be. I showed me that np many how mad I say I want something, I’ll never do what I need to achieve it without putting in the required effort.

Elevator Pitch #2

With this elevator pitch I tried to make it longer and include a few more features of the app. I prefer my hook in the first elevator pitch I did but I wanted to switch it up to be versatile - like the app. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GByju7FdQbI
