Yeah that is why I said it is too early to tell that it is. As for going to a coffee shop and asking people, how do you think I should go about that. I wouldn't want to go sit down at a random table and be like "Hey you, what do you think of this idea". Maybe my head is in the wrong place as far as customer discovery is concerned :) Thank you for the advice.
- mgkimsal 14y agothat's exactly what you do! 2 things: 1. Check with the owners - ask if you can do a few customer surveys. Tell them you'll stop after X hours or if anyone complains. 2. Buy some gift cards from the shop and give them out - $5 gift card for... 10 minutes of their time. Have a survey of set questions, but go open-ended as well.
- sdwrage 14y agoGreat idea! :). Don't know how far I would go with the $5 gift cards but definitely getting users to interact a bit more formally.
- sherm8n 14y agoGo to a highly trafficked coffee shop, grab a latte, and just start talking to people around you. You'll just have to get over the awkwardness of talking to strangers :) Have a set of questions you can rotate through. Sometimes you can ask 1 or 2 questions before they get annoyed. Other times you can have hour long conversations. Use your judgement to see how engaged they are.
- sdwrage 14y agoDefinitely. Thanks for the help :)
