Hi guys!
New poster and excited to be here. Full disclaimer: I checked if this was allowed with the mods first and it's ok!
Basically, I’m a student in my final year of my business degree and one of my units involves going through the process of creating a business from start to finish. Part of this involves thinking of a product idea, and then validating it to make sure it’s something people actually would want before moving to the next stage of actually building it.
The product idea I had is a folding chopping board. Similar to the Chop2Pot from Joseph and Joseph have which some of you might be familiar with or even have:
They make a bamboo version which I use all the time since I hate chopping vegetables and having them fall off the board when trying to put them in the pan.
I don't own the plastic one but based on some reviews some people have problems with it - occasionally the handle would snap off, or the board wouldn't lay flat. Not sure if anyone here has it and has had similar problems. It's also plastic which I don't like since I prefer wood or bamboo. The bamboo version I own doesn't have a handle and doesn't fold up to store.
So I thought, improving on this would be a great idea since it's something I already have and love. The idea is a bamboo cutting board which folds up for easy storage, has a handle which doesn't snap off and is fairly sizable (since I always find mine is not big enough!). I found a supplier that makes something very similar to what I would want (I've attached pictures showing what it looks like, no links since I am not advertising). I love this board since it looks nice (I have a sample on the way to test it's quality). Doesn't have to be used in the kitchen too, with the handle it can also be used on camping trips to serve food, folding away easily when you don't need it.!
So I wanted to ask you guys:
1. Is this something you'd be interested in?
2. If so is there something else you've always wanted from something like this that doesn't exist?
3. What would you pay for something like this? To make this easier, the dimensions of the particular model above are 39.8 x 20.5 x 1cm (15.7 x 8 x 0.4 inches)
The main purpose of this is to find out if it it's a dud because if it is, I won’t be wasting my time and can find something else to make for this. I should note that the unit doesn't recommend we make new revolutionary products (which would be impossible for the course timeframe) but rather look to make small improvements to what is already out there - just for the purposes of time. Appreciate the help
