Turning Ideas into Prototypes


Today we met on campus and had a super long meeting! Loads to plan for our first day back and time never seems to accommodate us by adding an extra hour to the day. Somehow they got an exclusivity deal there at Bar One Ltd.
Besides writing our micro enterprise reports, as a group we need to plan our second cake sale day and develop our first product prototype –while we still are in two minds about the idea for the latter.
We have a product idea that we have been advised to keep quiet about to avoid being copied. This is largely due to the product’s success somewhat depending on us getting distribution rights for components, but more so to have first mover advantage when getting into the minds of the consumers.
So for now we are going with our Red Herring, decoy product idea. Hemp Caps.
These are in no way ordinary caps. They have interchangeable front designs, and are made of hemp. This means that one could attend a soccer game and show support for their team by adapting the design of the cap, and later perhaps go to the beach and display something more personal. All this, and the cap is made from hemp, a natural eco-friendly material. Irie vibez, mon.
