Posted by Samantha Kanza in Interviews with Users or Focus Groups on April 14, 2014
51 people answered our survey and this blog details the results:
Results
1. Demographics
This section showed that nearly 50% of our participants were in the 18-25 age group, and that there was a pretty even split between those who are working professionals or not.
2. Working Professionals
Out of those who are working professionals, 84.6% found the idea of a professional service to organise professional events appealing.
Out of those who are working professionals, 74.9% found the idea of in app purchases appealing.
Out of those who are working professionals, 80.8%Ā found the idea of information and offers about group travel appealing.
3. Problems with Events
Our results suggests that our participants were much more likely to find themselves unable to invite a friend who isn’t on a social networking site to an event, than risk missing out on an event that is created on a site they aren’t a part of. With only 29.4%Ā saying that they had missed out on an event, compared to 51% saying they’d missed out on inviting a friend to an event because they weren’t part of a social network. Koh.Tu.Me looks to address this issue by making it easy for users to invite people who aren’t part of a social network.
74.5% of participants answered yes to being invited to an event but not knowing who lived close enough to them to share travel costs with. Koh.Tu.Me looks to solve this with our intelligent travel algorithm that links people together based on their proximity and travel preferences.
Over half of our participants also answered yes to wearing the incorrect clothing for an event based on not accessing to weather forecast information.

94.1% of participants said they found the idea of being able to invite people to their events irrespective of whether they are signed up to a social networking site or not appealing.
76.5% of participants said that they found the idea of being able to sign in using their facebook/twitter/google+ accounts appealing.
92.2% of participants said they would find receiving travel planning advice about getting from A-B using their desired transport method in addition to saving money appealing.

For professional features: these results indicate that a high proportion of the working professionals that answered this survey found these elements of Koh.Tu.Me to be appealing, with the most appealing feature being a professional service to take on more responsibility for organising the event overall. For general features: these results indicate that the most popular features center around the inclusive element of Koh.Tu.Me such as being able to invite people to an event irrespective of whether they are on a social network or not, and being able to travel together in a group to events. Encouragingly the results all showed that a much higher proportion of participants found the features of our application appealing as opposed to unappealing.

Mockups – Sami
Posted by Samantha Kanza in Mockups and Ideas on April 14, 2014
This post shows some mockups of what Koh.Tu.Me would look like on a smartphone.
1. This is the login screen of Koh.Tu.Me. This allows users to login if they have created an account, or to login with their Facebook, Twitter or Google+ account. Whilst people may receive event invitations without an account, it is necessary to have an account to create an event. Alternatively, if you do not wish to login to the application if you don’t have an account you can skip this stage.
2. This is the create event page, it is pretty simple, and requires a name, details, type of event (business or pleasure), the date (including start and end time) and whether it is private or not.
3. This is the first stage of the invite friends part of the event. This page allows users to invite friends from their different social networking accounts, their Koh.Tu.Me account, and additionally other friends who don’t have a social networking account.
4. This is the invite friends stage for if a user has opted to invite friends who aren’t on a social network. This allows them to either list email addresses to send share links to the event to, or provides a share link directly to copy and paste to their friends however they see fit.
5. This is the select travel page, it allows users to choose their primary method of travel to the event.
6. This is the activate event page. It is for people who are invited to an event but do not wish to create an account. They can use Koh.Tu.Me to ‘activate’ their events within the app, as an easy way to see that specific event information and interact with the other people who have been invited to this event.
