Adults are the ones who is most likely to be buying this product, because they have a stable income unlike children or students
This product is obviosly targeted on pet owners,
Dog beds are everywhere, so product needs to be special and stand-out, in order for the target to buy this product. Therefore, I chose multipurpose dog bed
Use recycleable material as far as possible
Product should be made mostly of wood, as they are easy to put together and structure. However, there may be some part where plastics are used as well as other durable materials
Materials chosen should be durable, use them as far as possible. This is because product should be long lasting.
The coated paint should be non-toxic, as dogs may lick them and cause a result of injuries. Small parts should not be included, because dogs may end up chewing parts of the product.
Though there are many exiting products, designs are very simple and ideas are different. Product should be unique and therefore different from all of them
To gather all the parts and materials for manufacturing should take days, and for putting everything together (a complete product) could take up to months of work, perhaps 1-2 months. Depending on the lessons and time we have, this varies.
