Interviewing Customers No. 2

1. I decided to think of a different opportunity this week. I wanted to talk to a different demographic, different customers than what I had done last week. So I began to think about social media. I thought about dating apps like Tindr, and how I could make an app similar to Tindr, but unique in its own way. So instead of "dating", I wanted to consider the idea of an app for finding friends, or just connecting to people you've never met. 

2. My who would be anyone who uses social media. I interviewed college students, not all of them had used Tindr before, but half of them had. 

3. I obviously did completely different interview questions than last week since I'm addressing a different opportunity. Here are my interview questions:

1. What do you use social media for?

2. Do you meet new people through social media?

3. Have you ever used a dating app, like Tindr?

4. If yes, have you ever met someone on Tindr?

5. Would you use an app to find (meet) friends?

6. Would you use an app to connect with strangers at specific events, or places?

4. Interviews:

5. I didn't find out much about this opportunity from my interviews. It seemed like people didn't really care for the idea of trying to make friends through an app, but they kinda liked the idea of connecting with strangers at specific event or places. Although, most of them didn't understand that question. It seems that people used social media for staying connected to people they are already friends with.

6. Three tips about interviewing customers:

1. Be confident.

2. Find people that want to be interviewed, or don't mind. 

3. Keep the interview under a minute, or no one will want to do it.
