Well today was the first day I had chance to at least make a dint in the research process that is going to be involved in getting this project off the ground. Well, ok, so I have looked at suppliers and traders and their prices, but if I dont have a a stall, it will be a bit more difficult! As such, I was hoping to speak to someone in the Market Office today. I have to admit I was quite surprised to see that they had no lift, or ground floor office, so for someone who is disabled, or like me, with a pram, its quite difficult. A gentleman who worked there passed me, and told to press the diabled intercom, to which I got no response. He asked if he could help me, so I explained I was only calling by to get the rental information. He said that the prices start at £190pw and go upwards from there. He went to fetch me some more info, but when he came back, he said the prices are split into rent and service charge now, so the rents start at £53. Now those prices dont add up! I kindly took the information (which has some quite comical mistakes, such as unfinished sentences in it!) and came home. I then called the office and left a message for Linda Bulbeck to get back to me. This is the woman who helped up get organised for the street party we held last year. A friend told me tonight that I seem to know the right people, and as I think about it, she is probably right!
I also had chance to sit down and try and think about the questions I need to ask in order to get the information I need. I could probably fill 2 A4 pages with questions, but think I might split my research in order to make sure I get information from all my target audiences. I have decided to do seperate ones for
- Women who planning to start their family
- Women who are currently pregnant
- Women who are already mums
The reason for this is because I have decided to follow another friends advice, who pointed out that we are short of nursing outfits as well as maternity.
All in all, not the most successful of days, but there is plenty of time!
