Selecting the Product or Service After perusing some of the more innovative products and services on the market today… We decided upon…
Selecting the Product or Service Zilopop
So What’s Up with Zilopop? Zilopop Shaped like a small lollipop Takes approximately 2 minutes to eliminate all odors Lasts a lifetime Made of chemical-free stainless steel Small, portable with a case Easy to wash Zero calories, no sugar (obviously!)
Doing a Little Digging In order to understand the target audience for Zilopop… We took a trip to the mall to interview as many people as possible! Our questionnaire asked them about (a) how frequently they chew mints and gum, (b) their spending habits on mints and gum, and (c) what they thought about the pictures we showed them of Zilopop. Oh, and we got their general demographic info too! e.g., age range, gender, educational level, profession, etc.
Looking at the Results So after comparing notes, what did we find? “Seems cool!” “If it works, cool!” “It sounds cool!” “Interesting idea!” “It’s clever!” “It’s creative!” “It’s not very creative!” “It’s a good idea, but I don’t know if it works on everyone..” “I think it’s pretty good!”
Looking at the Results Those who liked Zilopop seemed to skew younger. They tended to be “hipster.” And there seemed to be no discernible difference between male and female. So who was our target audience?
The Target Audience “Matilda” and “Chaz!”
