For my segment I chose people who live off of campus, but use the library during the day.
Report the findings of your search:
I decided to choose this segment for my interviews because, from my earlier research, I found that most people who would benefit from my product would be people who live on campus since they usually use the library late at night, and that's when I assumed it was most busy. But, from my interviews with this segment I found out that the library is also very busy during the days when midterms and exams draw near. I found out that people who live off campus usually go to the library in between classes rather than going back home to their apartments, and in the library they sometimes have a hard time finding seats and have to search all the floors and rooms. This segment said that they would benefit from a website which tells them which seats at the library are vacant or occupied.
Draw conclusions:
From this segment, I've learned that my possibility for consumers is bigger and that more people than I assumed previously share the same need and would like an opportunity to eliminate this bug. I would describe this segment as all having the need of convenience and a desire to not waste time when it could be solved by an easy website being made.
Hey Teagan,
ReplyDeleteI like your post that it was short and sweet and straight to the point. But I would like to know who you interview and what each person said. Quote from the interviewee would have been awesome to be included. The website seems like a good idea but I would go in depth with how thee website works.
Hi Teagan,
ReplyDeleteI do agree that this could be very convenient for students, and that it could be solved by a simple website or even an app. However, my question is: how will the filled or vacant seats be monitored? I think that it would be rather difficult to do this by hiring people to record this in real time. Would you install buttons into every seat to indicate that it is being filled or if it is vacant that could then reflect itself on the website? This is a question that would have to be answered, but I think that many students would appreciate this newly installed feature.
