amazon Whisperer: Week 11

    • Describe the revenue drivers you currently include in your business concept for this class. Revenue drivers are the different ways you make money. 
    The main revenue driver I have is selling the product to schools. The schools will buy the kit. 
    • Describe what kind of product offering you believe should be next. What's the next thing your customers want?
    I would say that the next thing they want is an extension to the hydropincs system. 
    • Describe how this "next" thing will enhance your existing product/service offering. Does it improve the user experience, does it increase customer switching costs, does it foster customer loyalty, etc.?
    Yes I think that a more in depth hydropincs system would definently improve the experience. It would give kids who are interested a deeper knowledge into the project. 
    • Go to Amazon and try to find a product that is similar to the one you want to offer next. Describe the product. Include a picture of the product.
    Hydroponics Growing System
     This is the type of growing system I would offer. The vertical aspect adds easy storage and allows it to be inside.

    • What are the customer reviews for the product? What, exactly, do customers not like about the product? What do they like about it?
    • Customers seem not to like that it isn't that accessible. They seem to like the general concept of the product. 

    • Describe what design/usability changes you'd make to the product. 
    I think I would offer color options to be more accessible to kids. 
    • Describe why you think this product would make a good addition to your current product/service offering.
    • I think this would make a good option because kids like variety and get bored easily.

  1. Emily, great post. I couldn't see the link however. I like how you suggested changing the color of the product though. I think kids really need that bright kid friendly color. I for one know that kids are attracted to bright colors as proven many of times so I think that was a great suggestion. Great job!

  2. Emily, I like the idea of hydroponics, it's a preferable growing method for many. As for the post itself, I wasn't too sure where you started and why you were going to move this direction. However I could kind of see that it's a growing system of some sort. Next time I would try giving more information, and try to frame the blog post with the reader in mind - remember, it's my first time seeing your blog!
