Idea Napkin No. 2

     I am a college student, and I have always been creative person and have liked to try new things. I like talking to people and and understanding their view points of life. Above all, I am a very organized person that likes to make lists, so when I work to make my product as successful as possible, I would be efficient and responsible. I like to think that I have an outgoing personality so I can use it to sell my product. My aspirations, when it comes to my business concept, are simple. I'd like to create something that is a necessity and original. I would like this charging pod to really change the way people will do their work. They could possibly take the pod outside and enjoy a day in the sun while taking care of their work. The pod will be a wifi hotspot so it will also provide wifi. If I were to start this business, it would play a huge role in my life, as it will be an effective way supply something that is in such high demand in Universities since they are constantly in need of more outlets and wifi hotspots in their libraries. It would take up a lot of my time as well because I will keep having to come up with something to expand my business.

      The product I am offering to costumers is a chargeable pod with outlets on it that will serve as a portable way to charge electronics. The pod will also be a wifi hotspot so one can get access to wifi literally anywhere they take the pod. Customers will no longer have to worry about where the closest power outlet is. They will be able to purchase one of the pods or they can use pods that a library at a University has purchased for their customers. The pod needs to be a device that can be able to function for long periods of time without it needing to be charged. The best would be if it could be able to last twelve hours until it would need to be recharged.They will be reliable and important to a student's success in college.

       My customers will be college students or University libraries. Something that all the University libraries will have in common is that they will have a lot of students trying to use the outlets at once, and not all of them will get to them. Therefore, there will be less people in the libraries. Keeping these pods in libraries will cause less student complaints and keep the libraries always full. College students all have the same thing in common as well, they are constantly depending on electronics and outlets so they can get their school work done. The pod could be sold in electronics store as well, and could be sold to anyone in need of an outlet. The pod could be sold to airplane companies so business people who travel a lot for long periods of time can get wifi and outlets during their trips. The pod could be sold to about anyone who needs a portable outlet with a wifi hotspot.

        This product is valuable to student customers because they will be able to charge their electronics anywhere even when there aren't any outlets around. They will be able to complete work for a whole day in the middle of a park where there are no outlets and not have to worry about anything. This product is valuable to libraries as well because they will get less complaints about the lack of outlets and more people in the libraries. Perhaps the school will get better overall grades because of the amount of students studying in libraries. It is valuable to people who travel long distances and need to work on their electronics. 

        What sets me apart from everyone else that is trying to sell this product is that I am a college student that is often in the library where there aren't many plugs and is forced to go back to the dorms to work. I can relate to these students and I can push the product into the market cause I have experienced it. I am organized and creative so I will continue to come up with new methods and ideas to make my product be successful. What also sets me apart is that I have decided to make the pod a wifi hotspot. There are portable chargers, but what makes my product unique is that the pods will provide wifi for people without it. 

        These elements fit relatively well together I believe because they will be able to make my product successful, different, and reliable. As the product creator and seller, I will be able to relate to the customers and sell it to them more efficiently because I am like the customers. My business idea may be a little weak because it will take very intelligent engineers to develop the pods that can harness the electricity to be able to charge a laptop and make it a wifi hotspot, but as technology changes and grows, so will the possibility of my product actually happening.  

        Five points that I took from the feedback from my peers are to make my pod a wifi hotspot, to differentiate my product, to make my company revolutionary, and to use my experience as a college student to maximize to marketing product. I incorporated the feedback into my idea napkin by making the pod a wifi hotspot and that has differentiated my product. There are a lot of portable chargers, but not all of them offer a wifi hotspot as well as a multi use outlet.
