- Introduce the team
- Zach and Cindy both actively use online dating and we’ve both had similar pain points. We wanted to see what others felt so we interviewed and surveyed various people and asked them if they could change dating what would they change, and these were some of the responses we got. As we can see there is a repeating theme of wanting more open communication
- Which leads us to the problem: There is poor communication in dating and this causes ghosting, lack of closure and insufficient feedback
- To validate that this was a problem, we tried various methods including surveys, using social media, engaging people via dating apps and guerrilla marketing.
- For the survey we wanted to understand dating pain points regarding closure and feedback so we placed a link to the survey on Reddit and received over 280 respondents primarily from the 18-30 year old, heterosexual demographic And from all over the country and world (i.e. Toronto, Australia, Amsterdam, UK, Singapore) Over 82% of people would want to know why someone was not interested in them
- Over 70% would want to know the truth And from this survey, 56 people provided emails for additional information and to beta test
- We then we used Tinder and OKC to individually reach out to users. We engaged 100 Tinder users and 50 OKC users to ask them about their thoughts on ghosting and feedback. 80% of these users responded. We also used social media such as Facebook and Instagram to gauge interest.
- Next we created a landing page on Squarespace with a short description of the problem to gauge and track interest and followed the analytics. In total, we have had nearly 300 visitors.
- Lastly, to advertise our landing page and further validate the problem we used guerrilla marketing by handing out flyers personally in the Embarcadero and near GA posting flyers surrounding GA with our web page and email address From this we received emails from a tech reporter at the SF Chronicle and a reporter of PhillyVoice expressing their interest
- http://www.beigenotes.com/ WHAT IS BEIGE NOTES We'll ask the hard questions about your date so you don't have to. With these answers you will better understand your date's motives, receive feedback, learn tips for future dates and gain closure. HOW DO WE DO THIS. 1. We provide you & your date with questions 2. You both answer the questions. 3. when we've heard from both sides, we’ll share answers
- To validate the solution, we used various methods including dog fooding, wizard of ozing, making a clickable prototype and testing out our web app by offering starbucks gift cards to people on the street
- Cindy reached out and experimented with her own dates and was able to get 25% of her dates to fill out reviews on her. Of these people, she then reached out to do a follow up interview. One of her dates participated and said that he was curious to learn more about the app. Another date which did not go well asked if we needed help.
- We built a landing page on square space and created the surveys on Typeform. We then emailed the ~60 people from our Reddit surveyed who asked for additional information to see who would be willing to participate. 2 couples successfully completed the feedback loop - one of these couples was Anna & Deryk
- Here is a snapshot of their answers to one of the questions From our perspective we really enjoyed their sweet answers
