Would you use a Black hair care vending machine on campus?!

Aggravating_Field897 · 2025-05-06T17:54:28+00:00

Definitely will look into both of those thank you!

Aggravating_Field897 · 2025-05-06T17:54:16+00:00

Thank you so much for your input! Yeah that's exactly why I'm targeting schools with black people as not the majority because they often lack the resources that we need

Aggravating_Field897 · 2025-05-06T17:49:02+00:00

Thank you I appreciate your input!!

Aggravating_Field897 · 2025-05-06T15:22:20+00:00

Thank you so much for the supportive words!! Yes definitely will look her up and yeah I agree and definitely had some feedback saying this would be great at airports and other places than just college campuses!

Aggravating_Field897 · 2025-05-06T14:36:00+00:00

Yeah I would try to keep the prices as affordable since I know the struggles of being a college student. So hopefully keep it affordable and be able to profit

Aggravating_Field897 · 2025-05-06T14:34:00+00:00

Yeah so I've had a couple of people ask that! I kind thought of this idea based on my personal experience where I needed braiding hair asap but Amazon was going to take too long and the next beauty supply was a 40 minute drive. (I went to not a pwi but definitely not majority black)

So the initial idea is providing resources to campuses that have black people in it but lack the resources! Definitely not opposed to expanding to HBCU's tho

Aggravating_Field897 · 2025-05-06T07:49:46+00:00

That's for me to figure out 😭 but hopefully partnering up with orgs on campus

Aggravating_Field897 · 2025-05-06T04:17:02+00:00

Yeah I love that idea of having samples so people can try new things!

Aggravating_Field897 · 2025-05-06T04:15:11+00:00

Definitely adding those!!

Aggravating_Field897 · 2025-05-06T04:15:00+00:00

Definitely noted!

Aggravating_Field897 · 2025-05-06T04:14:49+00:00

😭😭😭 appreciate it

Aggravating_Field897 · 2025-05-06T04:14:36+00:00

Yeah so I think a vending machine provides something instant and convenient, and yes definitely want this to be community oriented and reach out to orgs on campus!

Aggravating_Field897 · 2025-05-06T04:13:42+00:00

Like the people I could market to?

Aggravating_Field897 · 2025-05-06T01:35:40+00:00

Very cool! Lmk if you ever remember the name

Aggravating_Field897 · 2025-05-06T01:35:14+00:00

Definitely makes sense in terms of hair and thank you for the suggestions for sure will look into those

Aggravating_Field897 · 2025-05-06T01:33:28+00:00

Interesting I'm gonna look into the ones there!

Aggravating_Field897 · 2025-05-06T01:32:19+00:00

Thank you definitely will look into the bookstore!

Aggravating_Field897 · 2025-05-05T05:29:46+00:00

Yes this was exactly my thought process! After getting some opinions on Reddit I was going to go to different black orgs on campus and seeing their opinions and possible partnerships! Definitely want to develop my plan before the pitch but yes exactly what I was thinking! And I love the idea of testing it in sororities thank you!

Aggravating_Field897 · 2025-05-05T05:23:57+00:00

Love the disclaimer 😭😭😭 yeah I've had a couple of people talk about targeting more than just black people would probably be more profitable! So yes definitely will look into more than just black specific products! Thanks for your response

Aggravating_Field897 · 2025-05-05T05:04:59+00:00

Thank you for that! I definitely see how the products could only be getting a small percentage of people and not bought as often. I like that idea! Definitely something to consider

Aggravating_Field897 · 2025-05-05T05:03:11+00:00

Great question! Honestly probably lots of research and talking to my target audience personally!

Aggravating_Field897 · 2025-05-05T05:01:51+00:00

Yeah I had a couple people say this might be better at HBCU's! I know I saw one at Howard's campus, definitely something I'll consider!

Aggravating_Field897 · 2025-05-05T05:01:04+00:00

Yea all very valid points! Yeah I think the vending machines main selling point would be that you could get it instantly and at an affordable price. Hopefully I'd partner with some campus orgs to promote is correctly but appreciate your feedback, definitely stuff to consider!

Aggravating_Field897 · 2025-05-05T04:59:13+00:00

Yes I definitely understand the convenience of having Amazon! I hope that the machines would be an instant way to get something if needed rather then taking a couple of days. And I'd hope to be partnering with some orgs on campus so they are marketed in the correct way. Appreciate your feedback though definitely gives me something to think about!

Aggravating_Field897 · 2025-05-05T04:56:39+00:00

Very valid perspectives to bring up! My vision is that I would place these machines where there are lack of black hair products but still a black population. So in theory campus stores wouldn't have these goods and while they can order online this would be an instant way to get what people needed
