Market Survey
Problem Statement
Out of the 270 people we surveyed 53% of the people who encounter helmet hair thought it to be a problem, and 53% of those people said that they would buy a solution to the problem. This shows that people are willing to purchase a solution to helmet hair.
Summary
First off, we brainstormed a list of ideas, that we saw as problems with the world that could be solved. This was quite hard as many of the ideas we came up with already had solutions that solved the problem quite well. After the research and brainstorming phase, we made a decision matrix and decided that the best problem to try and solve was helmet hair. We then tried to find sources to show that helmet hair is a problem, but we ran into the fact that there were not any reputable sources, so we had to use blogs. This meant we had to rely on the survey to gather any reputable data on the fact of helmet hair being a problem. We found that 53% of people had a problem with helmet hair, and that about 53% of those people said that they would buy a solution. This could have been skewed by people not reading the directions that stated if you answer no to the first three questions, don't continue with the survey. These people who don't wear helmets and continued, would skew the rest of the data by adding to the percentage of people who wouldn't buy it but still wear helmets.
