Solving the Problem
I first saw an economic opportunity arise, from the almost instant, tremendous increase in the amount of people who Juul. When I started my education at The University of Florida I quickly saw everyone around Gainesville using a Juul, but not until I started Juuling did I see the economic opportunity that arose from this. When I started using the Juul, I quickly realized how much of a hassle it was to get Juul pods, and the limited selection of flavors that were available. The instant huge increase in number of people who use a Juul, has created more consumer demand for Juul pods then supplied. I believe that by starting a Gainesville Juul Pod delivery system, almost like an ice cream truck, but that delivers Juul pods. I believe by having a van that goes to specific locations, on a scheduled route that delivers a wide selection of Juul Pods, this economic need can get fulfilled. By having a van that delivers Pods, we can hit the most crowded locations of campus during peak hours and sell the most Juul pods. I believe that the consumer demand for Juul pods is high enough that this Juul pod van becomes profitable. My economic need can be met by creating an efficient Juul pod distribution method that leads to the greatest profits possible.

I think this is an awesome short term idea. If a short term idea was something that you were going for than I would stick with it. But as far as long term goes, have you put into perspective how long Juul will be going on for? What if a study comes out that Juul is giving off some kind of cancer or other issue? The amount of people Juuling after facts like this could possibly come out could potentially drop drastically. You also need to keep in mind that what if some other kind of vape comes out that takes over Juul and your pods don't fit the need for.
ReplyDeleteI have liked this idea since we started the class and you first stated the opportunity in the Juul industry. Since your first post about them, I have noticed that there is a problem with the distribution of Juul pods. Only 4 pods per pack makes it a real problem with distribution. Also, I agree with the above comment that there is a problem right now with confirmed reports of Juuls leading to a greater chance in lung cancer. I would like to hear how you would counteract this.
ReplyDeleteHave you considered developing this idea into a partnership with the existing smoke shops in Gainesville such as modern age tobacco? They have a long history of clientele and experience in the city and could give you the guidance and resources to make this really work out in the long run. Also maybe check with public ordinances on the sale of smoke products outside of buildings, I think that might just be a roadblock.
