Pick a block or area in your neighborhood. Write down where it is.
Slowly walk around the block once and make a note of or take pictures of the major structures (e.g. churches, stores, buildings,
schools).
Walk the area again, this time looking for less obvious things. Some examples: a well-kept yard on a street of concrete, a community
garden, a row of trees, a vacant lot, billboards. If possible, use your cellphone or camera to take pictures.
As you observe this time, write down not only what you see, but also what you hear, smell, or feel.
Afterwards, respond to the following questions:
1. What surprised you the most about the community?
2. Can you see any problems that are affecting the community? If so, who is it affecting and how?

Market Research Outline
Here’s an outline of some keep in mind that you should answer to help to make a strong market research plan.
1. Overview: Summary of what you learned and what you plan to do

2. Research performed & results
a. Consumer research
❏ How will you be collecting the data?
❏ How will you report out the data?
❏ What are your customers’ needs?
b. Competitor analysis
❏ How does your app compare to other apps on the market?
❏ How do other apps currently fulfill customers’ needs?
❏ How will your app stand out compared to other apps?
3. Analysis
❏ How will your app fit into the market?
❏ What are the weaknesses and strengths of your app (compared to others)?
4. Conclusion and future plans

❏ Summary of the information learned
❏ Projections of how your app will be received by the market
❏ What kind of changes will you make to make your app be better than others?
Interview and Survey Outline
Here are some things to keep in mind so you get the best survey results possible.
❏ Preparation: Consider who and what you will ask.

❏ You should try to ask at least 10 people to get good data.
❏ Brainstorm questions
❏ Make a list of things you want to find out.
❏ Consider which types of questions best capture the information you are looking for (multiple choice, open-
ended, check all that apply, scale, dropdown menu, etc).
❏ Sharing: How will you get your survey out there?

❏ What kind of survey will you give out?
❏ Online
❏ Google Forms - easy to use; you can create your own questions, but limited types of questions
❏ Survey Monkey - very popular, some features you’ll need to pay for
❏ Paper copies
❏ How will you send out your survey?
❏ Share on social media like Facebook or Twitter
❏ Ask people you know at school, in your community, or your family
❏ Analysis: How will you analyze your data?

❏ Organize your responses
❏ Put all your responses into one place so you can easily sort and understand it. Try using a spreadsheets
program like Google sheets.
❏ Analyze your responses to draw conclusions. Try finding maximums, minimums, averages and most popular
responses.
❏ Questions to consider:
❏ What chart is right for what data?
❏ What conclusions and trends do you see?
❏ How do the results from your survey affect what you want to make?
❏ Report: How will you put your conclusions into your business plan?
You should create tables, charts or graphs for your business plan. You can do all of these things in google sheets, but if you
are looking to make something fancier, try making an infographic.
