Team Mawan began the day at HQ Raleigh with Mr. Self at the R!OT work space. We continued yesterday’s debrief and talked about what our plans were going forward. Today was another “off-site” day, where we conducted customer surveys at REI and Bass Pro Shop. We got to continue to delve into the depths of insect repellent chemical sprays and clothing. We split up into the same two groups as Tuesday to go to one of each of the two stores. At REI, Amy and I located a vast array of insect sprays and pesticides, but nowhere to be found was any non-chemical alternatives. We had conversations with employees, customers, and associates about what they preferred and what they were looking for in a bug repellent product.
As we continued our day, we continued to do market research and analyze much of the data gained from our surveys. We have data from both in-person and virtual surveys. We are able to put that data in cleanly represented charts for Mr. Self to see and for our other final presentations to Vector Textiles and to CA.
