My business idea is really a non-profit so it is hard to
clearly determine any revenue drivers. But as an organization that would work
with private and public schools the money would have to come from private
schools or the department of education. If the organization was unable to be
funded by either, the money could come from directly from families or other
organizations who are interested in the program.
I don’t offer tangible product but I do offer a service. If
I was to expand my service in some way I would offer more extensive career
guidance as the students get closer to graduating from high school. There are
many parents who are not sure how to help their children get to where they want
to be, so they cannot offer help or advice in the career pursuit of their kids.
Once the students has narrowed down their choices of what career they want, my organization
could offer a career plan and timeline of what they need to do (academically,
financially etc.) to reach their goals.
This service goes beyond just telling the student what their
best career option is, it lays out an action plan to help the student
accomplish their goals. It definitely improved the customer experience and increases
the overall benefits the organization has to offer.
Since my organization provides a service and not a product I
cannot compare it to any amazon product. However for practice the product I chose is the Photive PH-BTE50 Bluetooth 4.0 Wireless Sports Headphones.
These are wireless headphones that connect through Bluetooth
and are designed for sports and workouts.
Most of the reviews for this product were not great. There was a great deal of them that complained about the durability of the product, claiming that the product broke as early as a week after purchase. They also talked about their disappointment in sound quality and about the fact that they do not stay on your ears very well.
I would change several things about this product starting with the quality of its construction and materials used in the casing and wiring. That would improve the products durability and sound quality. I would also change the design so that it goes around your ear for support and stability.
This product however would not be tied in with my organization at all.
Hey Juan,
ReplyDeleteYou're idea is interesting. Usually ideas similar to yours are not nonprofits. I think trying to find out a career plan and college plans is a great resource. When I think of a place offering this type of service, I think of SAT/ACT prep classes. Check out my blog here: http://feliciaent3003.blogspot.com/2016/03/the-amazon-whisperer.html
Hello Juan,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed your post as I also feel that career preparation, something very key to college and success in college. I think finding alternatives routes to funding would also be good, as staying a non profit is crucial considering these companies are usually profit driven. Maybe searching products like college prep books or dvds would be beneficial, as they might not include the career help necessary. Overall great job, read mine here http://donovanvuf.blogspot.com/2016/03/amazon-whisperer.html
