9A Testing the Hypothesis Part 2

Interview #1
My dad, a lawyer

My dad said that he would not buy stickers for a reason other than to support me (lol). He is a lawyer and feels like using stickers on his belongings would appear unprofessional. He has never seen another lawyer or judge or client who used stickers either. He thinks they would appeal to college students, but not to business/working people. He says that he can differentiate himself by the way he dresses, the tie he wears, or his briefcase. He thinks the way people express themselves as they get older changes a lot.

Interview #2
My mom, a doctor
My mom said that my idea to make stickers is cute, and she thinks my friends and other college students would be interested. She said that she and her friends may use stickers on their personal belongings, but that they wouldn't use very many. At the hospital she works at, she would not be able to put stickers on the hospital's equipment and property. She says that she is not able to express herself in that way at work because nail polish is not allowed, and she has a uniform/scrubs to wear.

Interview #3
My aunt, professor at UF
She said that while she may not use stickers very much, she would be open to the idea. She has colleagues that have stickers on their laptops. She thinks the main people who would be interested would be students rather than teachers, but that there may be some potential. She teaches a language, so she said that may make a difference as well.

Interview #4
My friend, STEM major
He said that he does not currently have any stickers on his belongings because he doesn't want to look unprofessional. He says that if he has an interview or something important, stickers may make people take him less seriously. He likes science-themed stickers, but he would not use them himself unless it was on items like a water bottle he would not have to use all the time. Also, he thinks people may not want to spend the money on a sticker to decorate their belongings if they are not already interested.

Interview #5
My dog's groomer
She does not really have the need to put stickers on her belongings because she owns her own dog grooming business. However, she thinks the idea of dog stickers could be cute for her clients, or a sticker with her information on it to promote her business. She personally would be interested in stickers of her dogs.
