My problem : The problem I selected for my
previous blog posts involved scooter helmets, or the lack thereof, on
campus.
Background
Information: After talking to many of my peers and constructing many
interviews, the majority of my peers believe that there is a scooter helmet
problem on campus.
Solution: My
solution to the problem, or opportunity, to the problem is to make a new helmet
that students would wear. My belief is that students currently do not wear
helmets based off of a perception that it gives off. If the helmets were
designed in a sleeker manner, more like motorcycle helmets, I believe more
people would wear them.
Below are ways entrepreneurs and society can benefit from a new scooter helmet:
1. There is a
market for research of the helmet. A smart entrepreneur could pursue this to
create a helmet college student would wear.
2. There is
an opportunity for individuals who want to manufacture this product.
3. There is also an opportunity to sell the
items retail or wholesale. New Scooters For Less would be an example of a
company who would sell the helmets retail. New Scooters For Less could buy the
helmets in bulk from the factory that manufactures them.
Hi Ryan,
ReplyDeleteI like your approach on creating a more attractive and stylish helmet rather than just trying to make the current one more popular. From my experience, the unattractive look and the annoying loop to buckle it is definitely a turn off or seen as a hassle to a lot of students. I think with a new style or change in trends, helmets could be more popular.
