This article has just what we need with giving us 10 things to do in Brevard County. These things range from going fishing to visiting our wonderful space attractions in Cape Canaveral.

Sports is a great thing available to us in our lives. Watching people excel in sports is also very awarding as well. Being able to have the chance to watch this potentially happen in my area is very rewarding. This event would bring in $8 million of profit which is a lot more than the budget they were rewarded. This is a great opportunity for the space coast to gain more tourists than before and unite everyone with our love with sports.

In this article, it tells us that the Brevard Zoo is finally setting up to reopen. This is one of the local attractions that always brings in a lot of people and is always good to have a family fun day here.

For example, they are making sure anyone over the age of 7 is wearing masks and to buy their tickets online to limit social interactions.

    Hi Rachel,

    I agree with your hope that the economy gets better. I think that we all are yearning for a return to normalcy but also still concerned about safety. Things like reopening zoo's and theme parks amid this pandemic presents lots of new challenges that these businesses may or may not have the answers for. How will they regulate social distancing? Is going worth the risk of exposing yourself to corna virus? Personally, I am still wary of going to the theme parks, especially in the beginning because so much of everything in society feels like an experiment.
    Looking forward to more posts in the future.
    Thank you.

Existing Market : I think what's next for my venture is reaching the international market and seeing if I have any potential internationally.  After interviewing three people, they all had the same basis of what they wanted next for this product. Even though my program is online, they want it to be transcribed in person and have places that they can go and meet with a person one-on-one who is employed with the company. When I asked them about going internationally, they thought was a good idea but in their eyes it was going big too fast. They think I should worry about building a reputation in the U.S before I move on to something internationally.  After listening to m interviews, I think the best for my company ans Study Buddies is to grow as much as I can in the national market. I will look into finding places that could be designed as "headquarters" for students to come wither their parents (if needed) to sit down and have meetings about the students progress or to get

    Opportunity : Giving students a chance to earn better grades by adding on extra study tools for them for their own advantage. There isn't any changes in the environment that is creating this opportunity. My target market is students from the grades Kindergarten to College. There is no age limit to my service but the main age range is 6 years old to 25 years old. Now, customers are currently satisfying this need by studying for themselves and gaining access to outside resources when need be. I think customers are loyal to what they are using now because they think there is nothing else better for them. I plan to change that with by service I am putting in place. This opportunity is big because I am giving students who need more help than others a chance to excel in school and develop the grades they need to feel good about going to school. The window will be open for as long as children are going to school. They will be the leading people in these next generations to come so the
