Many have already produced a few related items. But only a handful added to the markets. Like

1. SolidTek DM-L2

2. Cyberpad 8.5X11

3. Sony DPT-RP1/B 13.3”

But there is huge difference between my idea and their idea. They are mostly notepad of plastic body and poor battery . I am planning to design notepad which will not require battery power and it will be have a camera so that one can scan documents and his notes.

Target Customers: It will be a gamechanger for educational sector and architectures as one can make 3-d structures . It can be also used in multinational companies and bank to keep records. Universities and Schools can use it for teaching as well as examination purposes as it will have a scanner so they do not have to rewrite the paragraphs from the book. We will try to introduce our product where the government is seriously concern about trees and paper. At this type of places we will get support from the government which is a very important part of business.

Estimated Budget: Cost to design and construct building for our work place will require US $ 150,000.

Cost for R&D and other essential things will be around US $ 250,000.

Overall all estimated budget for my company US $ 400,000.

Product Pricing: As we are targeting students so we have to launch the product at affordable price as majority of market is occupied by middle class costumers. The digital notepad without camera will cost US $ 100 and notepad with camera will cost US $ 150.

Challenges that I may face:

1. Rapid Technological Changes and New Product Development

2. Device Compatibility with Software

3. Investors

4. Affordable pricing

Solution: We can offer more competitive price of our products than our competitors . We can add Wi — Fi connectivity and in built Memory expandable upto 1 T B. Adding fast charging support to our product will give boost to our business. Giving regular updates to our customers will help us to gain their believe. Most important to sell product is its packaging so we will not ignore the packaging part. Making body of digital notepad of aluminium will make it stronger and trendy.
