25A - What's Next?


We've been talking about growth. Growth in new markets, growth in existing markets. For this experience exercise, you'll need to set a course for growth for your business and develop plans for how you will grow in both a new market as well as in the market you have already identified. 
What you need to do. Again, you'll need to hit the pavement and talk to potential customers. This time, you'll be armed with your "venture concept" description. Break your post into two pieces:
  • Existing Market 
    • Unfortunately, the three people that I was able to interview for this didn't give me much to go on.  I spoke to people that really enjoy escape rooms.  They all really liked the idea I have but couldn't give me too much on things that I was not already planning to do.  One item that I did get from them is to find a way to make the puzzles change more often and provide a variety so that they get a different experience each time they come back.
      • This item was pretty good actually.  I can plan on a way to have each room change and have about 3-5 things that change in each room providing a pool of differences that are available.
  • New Market
    • For this I interviewed two business people who manage people for a living.  They expressed that we could also focus on team building and corporate events.  We change it up a bit during the day since it will probably be quite not much traffic in the day time.  We could have a team building expert come in for events and bring them through the  rooms as a way to help them work better together.

  1. Hey Alan,
    I agree with the first people you interviewed. I have been to one or two escape rooms and my only complaint is the idea that they are the same at that one place. I never thought of having the escape room as like a group exercise for a company! I could definitely see that as a success.

  2. Hey there Alan!

    I also agree with the first people you interviewed. The concept of making something such as this an exercise for work, which have been proven to help companies create a more open and tight knit workplace, is great and I think it will develop into something great! Keep it up!
