Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

We want to expand our product offering with a new line: inflatable water park . We need insights to help anticipate the ramp-up to commercialization and the best approach to go to market successfully with our new product. Initial questions to brainstorm include, but are not limited to:

1. Is our current location the best place to launch for early success? What is the total market size for this opportunity?

2. With whom should we partner on manufacturing, kitting, packaging, warehousing, and fulfillment? How complex is that and how much will it cost, realistically?

3. Who are our closest competitors and how do we differentiate ourselves?

4. How do we establish our brand: Build awareness, acquire customers, and defend any early success?

We are looking to gain alternative perspectives on potential marketing tactics and better understand the current competitive market.

What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?

Our goal at the end of this experience is: (Indicate deliverables)
