Amy,
ReplyDeleteThis a really interesting idea. I love the thought of not waiting 30-45 minutes to get inside a bar. You clearly assessed the advantages that you offer to your venture and identified what you thought was most valuable. After reading what you thought was your top resource, "convenience aspect," I was able to grasp a better idea on how valuable your idea will be, especially in a town like Gainesville where many people go out. Overall, great job and keep up the good work!

Hello Amy,
ReplyDeleteI really like your concept and feel like it would become very popular if used among college students. I really appreciate how simple and straight forward you were with your list of resources. I am much more complicated and decided to write a couple of sentences for each one, which is ridiculous haha. I think you did a great job and also agree that your top resource is the convenience that comes along with using your app. Feel free to check my post out: http://isabellaangulo.blogspot.com/2016/03/my-unfair-advantage.html
I’m shocked that no one has come up with this idea before or if they have, they’ve never showcased it. But again, great job with your product. I really love your capital and what you bring to this app and how you can benefit 50,000+ students who are just looking to have a good time without the long wait for it. I like that your most important asset is the convenience factor because everyone loves to find an app or product that makes things more convenient for the user and I think you have that. Here’s my blog and hopefully you think my idea is convenient for the users as well. http://jacobembuscado.blogspot.com/2016/03/my-unfair-advantage.html
