11A-Idea Napkin No.1

Hello, my name is Shelley Robinson and I am currently a Junior at the University of Florida. I am not your typical entrepreneur as I am a biology major hoping to become a dentist one day. I have always been somebody who loves working with my hands. I enjoy crafting and art projects. I am also very good at talking to people. I have been considered a "people person" by many and love to look at life on the positive side! I am also a perfectionist. I like things to be organized and I hate when people forget to do basic things to keep organized. This specifically bugs me when people carelessly do something that will affect others. This business would affect my life in a positive note because it would give me another outlet in my life to be passionate about and also solve one of my worst "pet peeves".

Have you ever been sitting at a table and forget to push in your chair when you get up? Do you often bump into chairs that have been left out by others? My product will solve this problem. This product will attach magnets to the edge of the table and the chair, automatically pulling the chair in when it is left out. The magnets will be specifically placed so that when a person is sitting in the chair, they will block the attractive force. However when they get up they will expose the magnet, allowing the chair to be tucked back into the table.

This product will be useful in many different settings. Homeowners who have a large to medium sized family dinner table would be able to see benefit from this. Restaurant owners and managers would also find this product useful and time-saving for their businesses. This would also be useful for large business meeting and conferences where there are large or many tables. All of my customers would be individuals that have tables that people frequently sit at. This ranges from professionals to the average family or couple.

The value in this product can be seen in many ways. First off, this is a time saver. Now people will not have to spend time going around and tucking in the chairs to the tables where people have neglected to do so. This will also make it easier for people who are trying to walk around the space near tables so they do not have to pay close attention to ensure they will not walk into chairs.

I am set apart from everybody else because I have a passion for this product. This product is a solution to a problem that has bothered me for a long time. My perfectionist attitude will ensure that I will work extra hard to make sure that this product is exactly the way that I want it to be.

I think that these five elements do fit together in some way. However, I think that I am having trouble finding out why I am the right person to market this product. I know that this is a product that I believe in and want to succeed. However, I am not sure what skills I have that will help me achieve the end goal of this product. I do think though that I have a very strong idea of the customer base and how to sell it to them.
