• Market Validation
What we have achieved regarding marketing validation includes marketing research on potential customers and translators; ways of cooperation with
hotels negotiation in Niagara Falls sightseeing districts and hotels and customers surveys in Orland area.
• On the one hand, the department of marketing and sales implemented the marketing surveys in Buffalo area specifically targets on students as
translators in University at Buffalo. We received 156 Reponses from the translators who offered many suggestions on our pricing model as well as the
recommendations for improving our products by adding picture function. On the other hand, the 243 responses from potential customers also provided
us with abundant information on the aspect of customer demands. Based on these marketing survey as we did, we began the step two for our marketing
research development as follows.
• The marketer and salesman talked to the managers of six various level of hotels in Niagara fall sightseeing district regarding company approaches of
cooperation. By applying our product into hotels, it will enhance the customer engagement and enjoyment with the hotels via solving the language
barriers between the communication of hotel customers and hotel operators. After talking with six hotel managers, they showed huge interest in our
product. As they described, there are lots of language problems and barriers when international customers coming into the hotels. They couldn’t
communicate with the front desk even asking for a towel or what is the passcode of the WIFI in the hotel. Set Niagara Falls as company’s first
experimental markets will benefits us a lot. Additionally, we are on the process of communicating with hotel managers in New York City concerning
the modality of cooperation opportunities in the near future when we launch our products in our first market-New York City.
• By understanding the significance of market validation, the department of marketing and sales is surveying Orlando area by communicating with the
managers of travel agencies, hotel managers and international customers in the Disney World of Orlando with the anticipation of deadline in March
22th.
