ViManage(Video Invitation Management System)
RAMON RIOS, MEENAKSHI,
KLAIRA
How it all began…
Friends getting married, throwing big events,
complaining there is no way to manage
anything, invitations are too expensive.
(Friend spent $8 on an actual invitation so
ended up just hand delivering most invites)
Theory that most paper invitations get tossed
and forgotten
People want fancy invitations but not the
reputation that Evite has...which everyone
ignores, and want to connect with the
recipients
Background in email marketing automation
Introducing ViManage
Video Invitation Management System that
focuses of helping individuals create, invite,
and manage dynamic invitations through
video, voice, and analytics.
Value Proposition
Redefining the way typical invitations are
created and managed because…
“Your special occasion, deserves your
own voice. Invite your loved ones with
it.”

Customer Research
1. Do you see yourself using something like this?
2. What would be your biggest concern? What elements would work?
3. Is saving money on paper invitations is important to you? What about for major
events?
4. How much would you spend on such service?
5. Now, think of yourself as a user...does the thought that you don't have have to
keep any paper invitations appeal to you? What do you usually do with the
invitations?
6. Any super useful features that you would love to see as both the user and the
recipient?
7. How do you usually manage all of the RSVPs? What would make it easier?

Findings…(90% Reached out)
Most said they would use the service for major events but concerned about mismatched data
Would spend from $15-$200
Worried that email won't get through into the inbox or marked as spam, or will accidentally be deleted
Concerned about the elderly or non-technical individuals but care about the environment
People track their RSVPS via excel or use competitors for non significant events; hate clutter
People want to see a recap of the events where they were invited
People don't like to follow directions
After Consumer Feedback & Takeaways
Need to include a physical Save-the-Date with a QR code that will lead a recipient directly to the invitation; will help with not getting into the inbox
Send out physical invitations to the elderly and not tech-savvy individuals.
Will incorporate gift options & and follow-ups
If founding won’t be met, we’ll consider crowdfunding as it will help with marketing efforts.
The best part of this that there is a large fixed cost and not as much variable once gets off the grounds

What are the key assumptions underlying
our projections?
The first key assumption is the rate of return we are going to use for the
growth of our investments which is 7% of return.
The second key assumption to make is on the rate of inflation. We are
using an inflation calculated based on forecasted projections which is
2.5%.
