Research Description
A complete brain storming of the project is done with the industry mentor on the topics such as how to move forward with the survey ,what are the basic requirement of the respondent and what are the areas to be covered After the complete brainstorming 2 questionnaires are developed, The first questionnaire for parents having children of age group(0-18) which included the basic information of the parents followed by questions which would reflect their basic requirement from the website such as, “Do you require online information regarding schools for your child” and many more.
And the second questionnaire for pregnant mums which included the basic information of the moms followed by questions which would reflect their basic requirement from the website such as,”What modes of physical exercise do you prefer”, “Do you require any online psychological consultancy” and many more.
I have created a facebook profile “My Kid” and promote the profile so that mothers and parents can connect to our website and can provide prestigious reviews which can be highly usefull for our research.To conduct the research I am using social network sites such as facebook, and blogs specially for parents.
I have conducted the survey in certain organized events such as pool party organized in various appartments in patparganj industrial area and I have also visited various primary schools and have a huge survey reviews from parents. Next step is to analysis of the data through google docs and the result is them used to create the website which would provide the extension for the project to become live.
Scope of the Project
The analysis would provide the organization the benefit of creating a structured and customer based website ,which could be better ,after analysing the competitors .The website can provide a large scale of relevant Information to the parents ,so that they can understand there child more. The segments of GPS tracking would be the USP of the website. As it would be firstly launched on our website, helping the parents to trace down small kids in emergency.The website will more effectively become a means of security. With the further approach to the website,definitely a mobile application will be launched which would be available for the parents 24*7, so that security can be assured and moments of understanding their child needs are not missed.
Limitations
There are certain limitations :
Website needs to be attractive and as it’s a information providing website ,the hyperlinks have to be properly placed to provide the depth scrollment or engagement of the user. Competition is very high, the website has to be very much user friendly Website has to be aware about hurting sentiments of parents at any segment. Consultancy programs arranged by the website should be held properly or it would lead to bad word of mouth High Promotional strategies are required
