Idea Napkin No. 2


My name is Joseph Malinowski. I just transferred to the University of Florida. I have lived in Illinois my whole life. I went to a community college there to get my associates degree. I am a really hard worker and always do whatever I need to in order to get the outcome I want. I am also a very easy person to get along with, so people feel comfortable around me quickly. I am a very smart person and can find solutions to difficult problems. If I do not know something, it does not take much effort for me to learn it and have it down. I have had many jobs even though I am only 20-years-old. I had as many as 4 at a given time. Because of all these jobs, I have experience in a variety of fields. In the future, I want to start my business, but I am unsure as to what that will entail. If I were to start this specific business, I would see it as a big role in my life. I would do whatever I could to make it successful. This specifically would not be a business I would want to go into. I want to do something I am passionate about, such as football or music.

I am offering a service that allows pet owners to see what is good for their animals to consume. A lot of food on the market is available, even though there are harmful chemicals and other things in it. This product will help those that are not informed on what is good and bad for their pets find things they can feel confident about giving to their pets. A lot of products made in other countries do not have as high standards as products made in the United States. Because of this, often times pet owners give their pets food that is bad for them. Users will be able to go onto my website and see which products would be good to give their pets. Money may be generated through advertisement revenue since users may not be willing to spend on this product.

I would be offering this product to anybody that is old enough to be in charge of caring for their pets. Children would not have the knowledge or the money to buy pet food. Those that are very old would hopefully already know what is good and bad for their pets, so they would not be targeted as heavily. I would be offering this product mainly to people who do not know too much about pet food. Those that have already done vast amounts of research would find no need for my product. I will also be looking for those that are not trying to just spend the least amount of money possible because the cheapest is usually of low quality.

I believe that generally people care for their pets. They are essentially members of the family and owners would never want to harm their pets. If they knew that some foods out there were harmful to their pets, I imagine they would not keep buying them the same food. With this product, they would be able to make sure they are doing no harm.

I am not aware of any competitors in this field. However, my service would make it easy for customers to see what products are good for their pets. It would be simple to use, having many filters shoppers can use to find a product they specifically need. You would be able to divide the products by animal and then can find a specific product you are looking for.

I believe that all of these elements work together. I believe that personally, I would be the thing most out of place in this business. I do not have too much experience with pets. I have had some when I was younger, but it was never really my responsibility to take care of them. I am unsure as to what foods are good and bad for what pets and so on. Also, there may already be a similar service like this that I have not heard of before.

From my feedback, I was told to talk more about my unique skills. I talked a lot about myself, but did not talk about the talents I possess. To fix this, I added the fact that I am good at problem solving. I have experience in many fields since I had so many jobs, even though I am still at a young age. I also was told to talk a little bit more about my product. I was a little brief and added to my description. It is important to talk about everything when giving your idea because it my convince somebody to purchase your product over another.

  1. Joseph, highlighting your work history is a great move. It shows that you are disciplined and have a strong work ethic. I think you did a good job of that this time around and I think it will help sway potential consumers. Great job!

  2. Hey Joe, I think you have a pretty solid idea napkin, considering the fact that you really laid out the foundations of what your product is and what it truly represents. I also think that your introduction adds a layer of dedication to your product and shows what you really think of the product. So it was definitely an improvement by focusing on yourself. Great job!
