Amazon Whisperer

My first revenue driver is the convenience of my product.  My product, which is disposable headphones that are about $1-$3 in price depending on location and demand.  These headphones are to be strategically placed in gym’s and libraries in college campus, which are places people genuinely need headphones, and often forget them.  The next driver is how cheap my product is.  College kids are very stingy with their money, and much prefer a product that gets the job done for a low price, compared to a quality long term product, especially in this scenario when these headphones are just to be used a substitute when your personal pair has been forgotten.

The next thing I believe my customers would like to see would be a vending machine with reasonably priced chargers for various brands of laptops and phones.  This would mainly apply to libraries, because no one pulls up to the gym trying to charge their laptop. 

This would enhance my current service by providing more products.  People always forget chargers for their devices when they go to the library, and do not wish to walk all the way back to their dorm, apartment, house, or whatever they live in to go get their charger and go all the way back to the library.  This product would also be disposable and very cheap, probably around $5.  This would allow people to charge their device for their study session.  Another alternative to this would be a rental service for chargers that would be returned.  This works for chargers because chargers aren’t worn on the skin and don’t touch any extremities like headphones do.

I went on amazon and found an off brand macbook charger for 12 dollars.  This would be a little high for someone to purchase just for forgetting theirs.  Chargers could be made less quality and priced lower for this product, so that it meets the financial requirement for the situation.

The reviews of this product said that it did not last long and was not a high quality.  But in my case that’s the goal. The product I am offering is not meant for long term use it is meant to be cheap so people will feel inclined to buy it and use it once or twice.

I would make this product less quality so that it would be cheaper.  When you forget a charger, your whole life can fall apart if your computer dies when your about to turn in an assignment due in 30 minutes.  Paying just a few bucks for a charger that would charge up your device and have  a very short life span is the perfect product for this scenario because everyone wins. 

This would make a good addition to the product I currently have because they both would help out students for a low cost.
