We created an app specially designed for university students to buy sell products within the campus.
We build a way to connect students with vendors in the university, so they can satisfy their needs as fast as possible.
Challenges
• Vendors are also students, so they may be not available everytime to satisfy their client needs.
• All students want instant ways to contact vendors.
• Vendors may not have the cliente desired product.
• Due to be a university product, the product must be easily to maintain as it may not generate enough revenue.
Narrow the challenges to ensure we meet these:
Goals
• Provide a free and fast method to contact vendors with students in need.
• To learn why people develop a need and how to cover them.
• Help vendors that sells products in order to pay for their career.
Before we try to create an app, website or experience without a clear focus; we must first comprehend the people we’re working with.We started to talk with our closest partners to find the root of the problem, and we found that the only way students met with the vendors whenever they want, was pure luck due to the availability of them, but there’s still part of the information that we are not obtaining, we felt that something was missing.The only way to find the rest of the missing pieces and getting the right information about our context, was to know the people who lives the context, so we started to interview the student
Interview and surveys
Our main goal was to amplify our point of view about “student sells” in the university by understanding the vendors on why do they sell, how is the process and what motivates them to spend time of their lives selling in a university with a lot of shops. To know when the students start to feel a need and how they satisfy it the most part of the times. And also, discover the reason why they can’t find what they want
• Difficulty to find vendors can generate frustration, and can lead the students to satisfy their whims in expensive sites, affecting student’s economy
• Vendors want to connect with students in a easy way to sell their products but without sharing too much personal information
• Vendors have great social skill to connect with other people but they can’t find reach a greater target audience. They want to create a fidelity bond with students
• Students want a way to know what the vendors currently have and a method to buy whims as fast as possible
Our value proposal is a mobile application that provides university students with a fast and efficient way to meet and connect directly with university vendors in their moments of cravings, providing direct contact and transparency with the product offer. The app will be the bridge that connects vendors and students at the university.
