Conversation Starters

Before you create anything, you can carry out a simple and easy test regarding your concept. That is, to present your ideas and discuss them with intended users. Discussing the different aspects with you users to see what resonates with them, what they are not interested in, or find absurd, is a cheap and relatively simple way of testing out your ideas. You may want to do this  using interviews or focus group discussions. It is important that you make participants comfortable with the fact that there are no right or wrong answers, and that this is just an exploratory conversation.
