*If this should be moved, do so. Wasn't sure where to put it.

Hey guys, I'm currently in a Business class at college and I just need to get some basic market research for a lame presentation. So, what easy way to do so than a stupid survey? So, what I'm asking is if you guys are ENROLLED and ATTEND COLLEGE, could you take this 2 minute 5 question survey for me?

Because I don't need thousands of responses, every one counts. I'm more or so looking for 100-150, maybe 20 from here. I'm not gaining any money from doing this, it's purely for just my business class project grade, and it'll help a lot if you guys could do it. Thank you!

Survey

If you have any questions about my project, I'd be happy to answer them. Goggleemoticon

Could be from my English skill, but doesn't rent mean pay once in a period?

While it could be viewed like that, I'm just saying renting. "Umbrella Lending" sounds lame, our group just decided on "renting". The service is completely free, aside from late fees from not returning them. Sorry if there was any confusion. Chin

"Take Cover!" sounds a lot better. It implies that the person who is in renting is in danger. Chin

Unbrella Hut sounds too much like Sunglass Hut - you're selling designer umbrellas?

Wow, I think I love you. That sounds really good, I'll run it by my group and see what they think.

I get to my classes via VIP rocks.

Let's say I lose the umbrella. How much does it cost me?

wouldn't this be impractical since it'd probably cost more money to pay the kiosk workers than you would get umbrella renters?

Or is this not about the money, but for the mere sake of convenience?

Lets say they cost us $7, you'd pay $8 or $9. From some really basic estimates, based on the size of my campus, and even like 5% of people using it, between ads, late fees and other things, we might be able to go as lower. At this time we don't really know.

The whole system is automated. It's a small kiosk with an LCD screen, coin slot/card scanner (For college campus IDs), and slots for the umbrellas. While the the first year we would be in the hole because of the startup costs, over time it become rather profitable, here anyway, because of the amount of rain/snow we get.
