Idea Napkin No. 2

1. You : I am a 2^nd year finance major at the University of Florida. So far, I have experience in public speaking and communicating with consumers and companies. I’m also always eager to learn different skills and gain more experiences. My aspirations is to successfully start my own entrepreneurial project that can benefit the community. If I were to start it, I feel that it would help me learn more about business and entrepreneurial acts. It would also provide a nice foundation for future projects.
2. What are you offering to customers? The service that I will provide is basically a pet park that will give pet owners a different experience. Not only will it have the basic set up of a pet park but it will also have amenities that many pet owners will find useful and convenient. The most important aspects will be the general pet park, the pet sitting service, and the community based events. Other perks, will be a rental place for dog toys and various stations for dog treats and waste bags. This will solve the customer’s need by eliminating the multiple trips that they have to take to get the various services that Pup’s Park provides.
3. Who are you offering it to? I am offering my service to pet owners, specifically dog owners. I would like to expand it to other smaller pets, however I still need to find a way to give pet owners with small pets the option to be separated from the bigger pets.
4. Why do they care? Pet owners care about their pets and want the best for them. As of right now, most pet owners go to separate locations for a pet park and pet sitting. However, if both services can be provided in one location it would be easier for them and more enjoyable for their pet.

I think that these five elements fit together, especially since I’ve added more detail on the projects. The only concern is that it has a lot events going on so it may be harder to control. My solution for this is in the first couple of years I will test to see if all these services can work in this one location. The aspect that I need to work on the most would probably be targeting the consumers. I have the general idea for the consumers, however I could still go more in-depth.

I’m glad that I was able to reflect on the feedback and improve many aspects of my idea. I incorporated the feedback given to me by adding more detail primarily in the “You” section. There was also some suggestions on what people want from a pet park, which provided a nice foundation to work on. Overall, I think the feedback really brought the idea together.
