New Target Audience

Initially, "The main target audience of G-Friend is NHS and mothers. In United Kingdom there has been number of cases regarding negligence for amnesic patients"

NEW Target audience

Through the subsequent market research, we spotted some new target audience.

l Prison: we collaborate with prison; it makes the prison management become more convenient when the prisoner carry the tracking product.

l Pet owner: many pet owners have encountered or imaged the situation that, what else can I do if the cats or dogs was lost. Fortunately, our products can satisfy the pet owners’ need.

Our contingency plan or Plan B includes:

  • Pager: G-Friend will be partnering with Motorola, to insert the into their Skytel Pager. The whole R&D and will be held at Motorola head quarter and expertise from SPS and Motorola will work together in order to create the product.  
  • Wrist Watch: In terms of wrist watch, we will be partnering with Flud watch company, especially with BMP watch division where only digital or calculator watch is manufactured. Yet again, the R&D will be host in Flud head quarter, where the collaboration of both SPS and Flud expertise will be working together under one roof.
  • Bracelets - For bracelets, we have selected BluAlert as our partner, and we will be inserting our software into BluAlert Bluetooth Bracelets. Similarly the R&D will be taking place in the BluAlert head quarter.  

Intiatial Strategy

According to the picture, one thing can be figured out clearly which is 'TOO EXPENSIVE". The reason behind this is because, initially we were thinking that we will buy our required products for example: wrist watch, bracelets and pager, and then insert our G-Friend software inside it. But while implementing this strategy we had to face lots of problem, such as, first buying the product then inserting the software was taking too much time, and also at the same time it was expensive. Therefore, we decided to go on with Plan-B, and the implementation of Plan B is explained in detail in the next post.
