Summary of the Interviews
From my interviews, I gathered information based on the questions from the assignment. The way interviewees bought things varied on a few principles and values. For example, Amanda, a college student I interviewed, buys things based on necessity. My old coworker, Saul buys things based on his hobbies, but rarely anything for pleasure or want. A lot of the students I interviewed agreed price and quality matter the most. A lot of students buy online, as it is easy and efficient. Students dont need to waste gas money, and shipping is usually free at certain price points. A lot of students have credit cards, and most of the people I interviewed hold jobs, so their deposits go to their banking accounts. I interviewed my friend Tina, who rewards herself with purchases whenever she gets a good grade, or achieves something. I think a mindset like that is healthy. Other people I interviewed are much more frugal, and save buying things for later dates, after rent is paid.
I think these interviews were important, because it sets the mindset in how people would participate in our entrepreneurial endeavors in this class. So, not everyone would need a food truck to bring them food, because we all have our own ways to buy food, or spend our money.

Hello Chloe,
ReplyDeleteWe have common concerns shared between the individuals we chose to interview. It seems that people of our age group have a tendency to monitor their habits and only spend their funds wisely and when necessary. I feel as if this is a really good thing, personally but in a business worldview, there is loss of much potential with these clients
Hey Chloe,
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job with this blog post! I am similar to some of your interviewees because I too tend to shop for need rather than want. College students tend to lack monetary stability due to school etc. Personally, I would love to buy all these things, but I need to focus on whats necessary and will benefit me in the long run.
Hi Chloe, this week I think that your post really did a great job of showing the different motives individuals may have for making a purchase. In my own post I also had to “think like a skeptic” and essentially play devil’s advocate in order to see not only what the alternatives are. But how my future clientele would reach to their purchase. Good job!
