Assignment 25: What's Next

Existing Market. 
Since my venture has a very straightforward structure it was a bit difficult for me to think about what else to incorporate into it. I then thought that perhaps there could be a way of tracking how much progress a user has made; this is something that could be done that I have not planned on doing. In other words, the app could track how much food and money the user has saved. The way it would work would be that the user would be asked – once the expiration date for the item arrives- whether or not they used the item or not. Depending on what they respond, the app will track how much they have saved, in terms of food and money.
New Market.
I was thinking of adding an extra feature to my venture which would open it up for B2B. I had been planning on incorporating a shopping service within the app. I would like to team up with food/grocery delivery service apps so that when the expiration date is approaching for a food item, the user will automatically be given the option to add the product to their “Future Shopping List”. What this will do is then create a shopping list that the user will then be able to order from. Linking up with the grocery delivery apps would then allow for this service to occur. Depending on the state or county where the user is, I think I would team up with just one other service which is prominent in the user’s location.

    Nicole, I think this app would be extremely useful to me and my family. I also think your idea of teaming up with food and grocery delivery apps would be beneficial to your business in the long run because I feel that it is the direction that society is moving. I am also a fan of the future shopping list idea. Great job!

    Nicole, this app is actually a really good idea because it could not only save people money, but help them budget as well. I would find this useful as a college student and I'm sure there are people around the country who could save money by realizing how much they are spending. This could cut their costs and help them pursue other goals. I could see you making this a subscription service as well if it is executed really well.

Assignment 30: Final Reflection

1) What sticks out to you as the most formative experience? The experience that you'll remember years later? What was your most joyous experience? What experience are you most proud of yourself for accomplishing? I think that there are two things that have stuck the most out for me in this course, the first one was our first big assignment: coming up with a business idea. Coming up with an app to reduce food waste was, I have to say, my proudest accomplishment. As I’ve said several times, helping our planet and feeling that responsibility to do something has been ingrained in me since I was a child. Having been able to come up with a business idea that centers around that concept was extremely gratifying and I truly believe that I will move forward and try to perfect this idea with the help of my uncle. The second experience, which was mostly formative, was reaching out to my uncle. I learned a lot from him and realized that I didn’t have to go too far to find someone w...

Assignment 26: Celebrating Failure

-
1)     Tell us about a time this past semester that you failed -- whether in this class, or outside of this class. Don't spare any details! It'd be even better if there was something you tried several times this semester and failed each time.  ·       I had heard that Marketing was not as easy as people suspected it to be, so I came into the class being mentally prepared for it to be more difficult than I had originally suspected. However, I was not prepared for failing to meet my own expectations. ·       I had expected for the class to require more of my time and effort, so I was prepared to accept that I would need to study more in order to keep an acceptable grade in the class. I always try to aim for an A, and when that’s not what I get, I’m usually disappointed in myself. However, I also came into the class being prepared to possibly get a low B, which I believed to be the lowest grade I’d allow myself to g...

Assignment 22: Elevator Pitch No.3

1. Link:   https://youtu.be/ORVbgYcqPag 2. Reflection: After reading my second set of feedback I knew that the facts had to stay in, as they were doing their job of grabbing people's attention. I stayed consistent with dressing formally and I also made sure to explain exactly how the app works.  3. Now having done it three times I definitely feel like it flows better. I definitely feel more comfortable in front of the camera and I can say that I feel more confident in delivering the pitch to an audience.
