So I recently made posts here some months ago about my business idea of a protein subscription box. I've since scrapped that after 6 months of working to make the box. In the comments of that post, a user recommended that I try out Pat Flynn's "Will it Fly?" book (a great book). After reading the book, I have learned much and reworked my new idea.
A mass gainer protein powder in non-traditional flavors.
Most mass gainer protein powders come in traditional flavors like chocolate, vanilla, etc... Well, there's lots of room for improvement in these supplements, including flavors, texture, ingredients, etc... I know there 100% is a market for this. Targeting people looking to gain weight and build muscle.
My first real-person validation method went like this: I went to my college campus during peak gym hours and asked anyone I could leave the gym if they had time to listen to my idea. I asked questions like:
1. Are you currently looking to gain weight?
2. Have you consumed/currently consume mass gainer protein powders?
3. If so, what about those mass gainers frustrated you?
4. If you could have a mass gainer protein powder be any flavor, what one flavor would you choose?
5. If you could ever see yourself in the market for that exact product with the flavor you just told me, would you be open to adding your email to this list?
Results after 1 hour: (I had class and a busy schedule today)
Approaches: 21
Conversations: 16
Emails: 5
Only 5 people saw themselves interested enough to leave a name and email. The plan was to get a big list of emails to later pitch a pre-order with a refund guarantee if the idea didn't work out and be completely transparent about my plans.
Should I go back another day and get more feedback and contacts at the gym? I'm worried only 5 emails is nowhere near enough to validate to the extent I want.
I appreciate all help and tips, if any!
