Customers Interviews No. 1

An opportunity I saw was how frequently people forget headphones at the gym.  Working out without music is a pretty mundane task for most, so I came up with the idea of putting vending machines containing disposable headphones inside gym's for those working out to purchase if they forget their headphones, or wish not to use there nice headphones while they workout.  I went around my apartment complex and knocked on the doors of 3 different rooms, and interviewed a few random tenants about the potential of this product.

What I learned about this opportunity is that it has the potential to actually be an implementable service for a product that people prefer to have when they are at the gym.  No one really likes working out without music and would be willing to throw a couple of dollars to avoid the dullness of working out in silence.


What I learned about interviewing customers is that it can be a tad awkward at first.  It is especially awkward interviewing strangers, and possibly interrupting their leisure time. However a found that it is a great way to get genuine feedback and a product or idea.
