Create a Customer Avatar

18A
The Lint lights customer avatar can be male or female, and of any age 10 and older, that is what is so great about this product, it is very adaptable. The prototypical customer for Lint lights would be someone who always has their plates full or someone who is always on the go. Most likely though, the Lint lights average customer would probably be a busy college student who is a full-time student, has a part-time job, is probably part of Greek life, and is very active with intramural sports or the gym. This customer loves keeping him or herself busy and doesn’t have time to remember tedious things such as if the lint was cleaned out of the dryer. I am also a full-time college student who has a part-time job, part of many extracurriculars, and is very active at the gym. I have many things in common with the prototypical customer as I am a busy college student. I don’t think the traits I have in common with the customer avatar is coincidental, Lint lights would be a great help in my life as I forget all the time if I have checked the lint, and most of the time have to waste time, money and energy rerunning the dryer.

    Deborah,
    I really like your product, and as a college student I think this will be very beneficial. We don’t think about small little things such as lint, since our schedules are so busy. I also agree that us, as entrepreneurs that it’s not a coincidence that we may align with our prototypical customers. We first looked in our lives to find a problem, so our customers should be more like us than different. I really can’t wait to see where you take this business. Thank you for sharing.

Forming An Opportunity Belief

-
4A Beginning Point: After revisiting my big list, I think an opportunity exists to fix drying machines. Sometimes, when I run the dryer, I forget to clean the lint out of the dryer, which causes my clothes to be somewhat damp after the dryer buzzes. This causes me to rerun the dryer, which raises utility expenses at my apartment. The unmet need for this problem would be for the dryer to indicate whether or not the lint has been cleaned. Everyone with a dryer would most likely have this need. This need has always existed, and always bugged me. The opportunity probably exists for 80% of people who own or even use dryers. Prototypical customer: The prototypical customer would be anyone who owns or even uses a drying machine. The target audience ranges anywhere from teens and young adults to adults.  Interviewee 1 (prototypical customer): I spoke to a male senior here at the University of Florida while at Library West.  ·        H...

Your Exit Strategy

-
28A I think I plan to stay with my business until I am either comfortable financially, or ready to retire, whichever one comes first. I have selected this exit strategy because my grandparents are entrepreneurs and I am following in their footsteps. My grandparents own a chain of condos. They ran it until they were ready to retire, and they have made it into a family business because now my aunts and uncles run it and it will go to my cousins and I one day. I think this exit strategy has influenced the other decisions I have made by leading me to another contact in this industry, I know my grandparents work with a laundry company to get discounts on their bulk purchases for the condos and houses they rent out. This exit strategy has helped me realize and remember their connections that I can use as another opportunity.

Celebrating Failure

26A For New Year’s this year, I made a resolution to reach out to my friends and family more. I am normally really busy and I tend to forget to update/get updates from my loved ones. My resolution consisted of calling or face-timing my friends and family at least once a month, or bimonthly. I managed to keep my resolution up for the first month, I called one person a day and made sure to text my parents every night. Slowly, I noticed myself stop calling my loved ones, but I still wanted to catch up with them so I would send an occasional text or interact with them on social media. I guess you could say I failed at keeping up this resolution because I haven’t called any of my loved ones for a while since school has gotten more stressful. However, during this pandemic I’ve made more time to reach out to my friends and family, making sure they are ok and catching up with them. I learned that life can get busy, but you should always make time for the ones you love and make sure that t...
