1) You. Who
you
are. What your talents are. What your skills and experiences are. Also:
what are your aspirations? Specifically regarding your business
concept, how do you see this business (if you were to start it) playing a
role in your life?
I’m a single parent to a much laid back who just turned 16 year old boy. Not only am I a part time student but I also work full time for an engineering firm. Working as an administrative assistant has helped me deal with different kinds of personality from the independent coworker who doesn’t ask or need much to needy coworkers who require a lot of attention and hand holding. I’m good at multi-tasking and prioritizing my work.
I would like this idea to be a starting point for a tools type platform for mobile devices. I will primarily be very hands on with developing the tool but eventually would like to be hands off to run more the business side and leave the developing to the engineers working on the product. I do consider myself being dedicated to achieving my goals, working hard, and trying overall my best whether it’s my personal life, work, or activities.
2) What are you offering to customers? Describe the product or service (in other words, how you'll solve customers' unmet needs).
It seems as smartphones and mobile devices increase in its capability so do the apps and services that are offered for these devices. My tool will be a basic function on the device that will tell you how much data usage the game, app or service that you would like to run will take up and if it’s better if you turn your phone to Wi-Fi to save on data and would Wi-Fi slow it down or give you the same performance as if you used it straight data through your service carrier.
3) Who are you offering it to? Describe, in as much detail as possible, the demographic and psychographic characteristics of your customers. Think especially of this question: what do your customers all have in common?
This is a general tool that anyone can you use especially if the consumer has more than one device on a network plan. I think consumers who have a shared data plan or family plan or on a budget will find this tool very useful.
4) Why do they care? Your solution is only valuable insofar as customers believe it’s valuable to them. Here, explain why customers will actually pay you money to use your product or service.
Because consumers love to save money and if there is a tool that can save them on overages when it comes to data use they would get it.
5) What are your core competencies? What sets you apart from everyone else? Also: what do you have that nobody else has?
No one else is offering a way for the consumer to take control of their data usage. The networks are only offering unlimited data at a very high price that truly is not unlimited because it comes with restrictions like having to be on their network and go above a certain amount of data before the end of the billing cycle and they will slow the performance on your mobile device.

Feedback Memo
Some of the main points I got from the feedback:
-Consumers would like how easy it would be to check the device performance
-How specific the specs are
-They would recommend the usage of this tool to the
Joselyn, I believe there are apps on the market that are doing what you are wanting to develop. Check out Advanced Task Killer. This app will let you know what app is utilizing data or running and give option to turn off. I think the reason I turned it off was because I was getting notifications all the time for the battery usage and some others even when I turned off notifications. I think if you look at some of the apps on the market today and then really come up with a concept that will make yours stand out, you can have a winner. Hope this helps and thank you for sharing.

Hey, Joselyn. Noble concept on the data-saving endeavor you're outlining here. The part that stands out to me as unique is the ability for the tool to show you if your application would run faster through wifi or through your carrier. However, there are a few ways to already do what you've proposed here. Most devices allow you to see the amount of storage space they take up, and all new updates also state the additional space the update will take. In addition, for speed, you could just run an Ookla Speedtest. Perhaps you could integrate these, or make a continuously updating stream of Internet speed consistency?

Hello Joselyn. First I would like to say I really like your idea, especially the "would it run faster on wifi or data part." However, as the other commenters already said there are already several things that allow you to see how much data any app is using. One Apple and Android phones that information is available in the setting, on Android you can even set the phone to turn off data usage when it goes over a certain amount. If you were to make an easier to use and understand version, both Apple and Android are buried in the settings app, this could be very successful. Here's a link to my post http://thegarrick.blogspot.com/2016/03/idea-napkin-no-2.html
ReplyDeleteThis is an interesting idea to help people balance performance and data usage. My only concerns are that when the WiFi is crowded and underperforming, the carrier network typically is crowded too. Also, I like to avoid using data as much as possible because I want to make sure I always have data when I need it. Still, this could be really useful for keeping track of what to use and making smarter decisions on data usage. Check out my blog at: http://ryanent3003.blogspot.com/2016/03/idea-napkin-no-2.html.
