Eric Friese's Blog

1) My name is Eric Friese, I am a swimmer, I can do a few pencil tricks, and I am really interested in fashion and sneakers.

I want this to help people with the parking on campus with my app. It is not necessarily a business but just a set of solutions available to help to avoid and solve the parking problems around campus. 2) I am offering an app that helps people to find parking spots and decal informations for the different parking lots.   3) All of my customers are college students at the University of Florida any college if I can expand the app one day.

1.  Elevator Pitch No. 2 2. I am really happy for my feedback. I had only positive comments. The people really liked the dynamic way I talked and especially my idea. The fact that people liked my idea shows me that it really has potential, and I will pursue it. 3. I tried to talk the same way like in my first elevator pitch, but started with a little bit of small talk about the corona situation to start off the video well . I wanted to care about my viewers and the people I talk to!

My vision of my customer is a 18-20 year old college student who runs busy schedules. The hobby my customer has is not really anything, but he just has busy schedules and wants a quick snack. The tend to not have a car but they might have a bike. My customer is a smart intelligent man.  What I have in common:   What I have in common is the need for a quick snack. I personally have a scooter. I do not think it is a coincidence as I also have a need for a quick snack before my class or after it when I have enough time.

My target audience is college students at the University of Florida and I am going to segment the freshman class specifically because I feel like they might go to the chick-fil-a more often since they are new and live in the dorms. Interviewee #1) - From this freshman I learned that he actually just ignored the need and went to the chick-fil-a buy The Standard. This of course was easy for him as he had a scooter to get there. It makes me wonder how many more people would go to the chick-fil-a by The Standard if they had a better mode of transportation (anything other than walking). Interviewee #2) - This freshman started using TapInGo as her solution to the problem, but she sometimes forgets about it and then goes somewhere else. She uses it about 15-30 minutes before so the food will be ready when she gets there. Interviewee #3) - Lastly in this interview the interviewee said how she does not try to find a solution to the problem, she kind of just goes with the flow of ...
