1.) In regards to my business idea I think I have some specific qualities that allow me to understand where this issue stems from. I am currently living in a dorm at the University of Florida and many of my friends also live in dorms, which gives me some insight that others may not have. I have personally experience what it is like to live in dorms and know what would make this experience more enjoyable.
2.) Many of the dorm buildings at the University are old and in need of renovations. My business idea would help raise money and awareness to help improve the living conditions in these facilities. With a combination of tabling and fundraisers I think this is a very doable task that will benefit many people.
3.) My potential customers would be current or incoming students living in an on campus dorm at the University of Florida. Many of these students will be freshman adjusting to life away from home.
4.) These students will care because this dorm is where they are going to be spending many hours and they are going to want to be comfortable in their new living environment. First year students will especially needs somewhere where they feel safe and secure.
5.) Something that sets me apart from other from other people is my experience with this matter. Although I will not be living in a dorm next year I still think this is an issue that needs to be resolved for new students and the university overall.
I think that with all these factors combined that my business idea will be a successful one. I have personally experienced this issue and have interviewed many other students who feel the same way. I believe that if more awareness is brought to this problem that it can be resolved.
As for the feedback that I was given, I incorporated how my business idea is more set up to help other people rather than for a profit. This business idea will help students feel more comfortable in their living environments.
Hey Madelyn,
ReplyDeleteIt's great that you can relate so much to the idea you're trying to propose. I can tell that because you have this experience with these issues, you know what needs to be renovated and fixed. and you know what would be satisfactory.
Hi Madelyn! I love your business idea to raise money to fix all of the discrepancies in the dorms. I think that fixing what needs to be fixed will help students live more comfortably and with the tuition rates here I think that should be one of the top priorities as far as the dorms go. It's great that you were able to use your personal experience and the experiences of those around you to find some sort of solution to the problems. Great post!
ReplyDeleteHey Madelyn, I really like your entrepreneurship idea! I think its great that you're offering more of a service than a profit and it is good that you were able to clarify that in this post. I am still a little confused with exactly what your idea is though. Is it just a survey aimed to prove the housing at UF or is it something more than that.
