Tea lab kiosks

Page 6: Day 4 presentations columbia apr 2012

TakeawaysTea café

• High-end tea café in NY city => set for failure

•Key costs: Rent, Utility, Salary, and ingredients…

•Market for both hot and cold tea

• Flagship store => for branding

• Way to make money => go outside New York City

• Sell your products via partners

• No brand => no partnering with restaurant

Kiosks

•Low fixed costs/rent

• High foot traffic

•Customized Kiosks available at $20K- $40K

• High visibility => low marketing costs

Hypotheses: HR Consultants are a Potential Channel

Findings

Competitors

Exception

HR Consulting firms have in house technology departments

They see survey software as a way to sell consulting services

Would not partner – see Pulze as competition

Kenexa: (KNXA) Mkt. Cap.: $860MM Taleo: purchased by ORCL for $1.9B, 2/9/12 Hewitt (HEW); MMC (Mercer) SAP: purchased SuccessFactors (SFSF) for $3.4B

Possibly Leadership Consultants, given focus

Initiatives: Pricing and Update Value Prop

Pricing

Value Prop

Additional Segment?

HR Consulting firms charge $5K - $15K for a survey targetting 300 – 500 users

SurveyMonkey works for random surveys – not good for employee engagement

Customers WTP between $1000 - $5000 per annum

Customers love the idea of DIY survey software with extensive templates

Anonymity and Detailed Data Analysis is Key Would prefer value added service to call HR specialists

for pre-survey setup and post-survey analysis

25 – 100 Employee company with the same needs as above

Page 29: Day 4 presentations columbia apr 2012

Key Learning: WHY WOULD SOMEONE USE THIS SYSTEM TO DO FAVORS?

• reduce time spent doing favors• prioritize response order and time to favor

requesters / receivers• INCREASE LIKELIHOOD OF PAYBACK

• Second-degree connections more than first-degree contacts

Key Learning: who pays for favors

Channel Analysis

Channel Strategy

License technology • License the technology to shoe brands to do all manufacturing themselves

Unbranded component sales • Sell prebuilt soles with embedded components to shoe brands for assembly

People want flexibility and dynamic itineraries with options

The proper price point for our product is $9.99

People will find our website easy to use and aesthetically pleasing

WTP increased significantly when presented with MVPs with options

Still inconclusive. Seem to be three segments: Free, $4.99, and

$9.99. Need more data.

Aesthetically pleasing? Yes. Easy to use? Not at all. Oops. People found the site confusing, difficult to navigate, and were unsure of

service for sale

We are solving a clear and deep-seated problem with travel

planning.

People would rather pay $5-10 and get unbiased recommendations

Yes for our personal networks; NO for the 50 or so travelers we’ve spoken to in person this week

Two segments – some absolutely would and others don’t care and want deals/sponsorship to make

itineraries free to them

Hypothesis Result

Foreign travelers would not want this tool if they do not have data

Foreign travelers are interested if given printable and/or

Five things to know about online grocery shopping:

Consumers love online grocery shopping, but it takes time getting used to. You can simply the process by improving the online experience with navigation, search, online help and porting over shopping lists. Deliver a better time-saving experience and consumers will hang on. Online baskets are different than offline baskets. The average transaction size is much larger for food and beverages ($80 online / $30 offline) and health and beauty purchase ($30 online / $10 offline). And online shopping offers a greater mix of pack sizes and categories. Consumer perceptions and purchase behaviors are affected in important ways. The interactions with the online ‘store’ environment are fundamentally different than an in-store experience. The online experience is fueled by a needs-driven experience as a greater variety of options are made available on screen. Online shopping “levels the playing field”. Big brand ‘physical’ advantages do not translate online. With universal distribution and search functionality an inherent bias toward niche players is created. Ultimately, price transparency, connectivity and open content favor a purely ‘rational’ market. Large and small brands can win online by combining marketing savvy with digital capabilities to add value. With interactive websites, smartphone applications and social media connections, expanding your brands in new and innovative directions is virtually limitless.
