Marketing Approach and Strategy

Targeted Web, Facebook, etc (SportXast) advertising. Parents in age demographic are young, Internet connected.

PTA/PTOs. Approach parents at PTAs, etc who are already more involved in children's development (tiger moms).

Word of mouth. Mommy bloggers, etc

Traditional media. Magazines, etc

Software Roadmap

  • Analytics. Parents able to find & track kids' problem areas, identify areas for tutoring.
  • High school. Older children, focus on college prep (SAT, ACT, etc)
  • Not just math. Reading comprehension: read Wikipedia articles, answer questions. Watch video lectures (i.e. Khan Academy), quick quiz. Vocabulary, flash cards, etc.
  • Integration w/ school. Teachers post homework on Pi-Fi: instant grading, analytics gathered for the school, and children are instantly rewarded.

Hardware Roadmap

  • Mobile Pi-Fi hotspot. Mobile Hotspot w/ Pi-Fi software for parents/kids on the go. Kids earn their time at home and use on the go, or vice versa.
  • Pi-Fit fitness tracker. Kids must do so much physical activity to earn time on Internet.
