1. What is your topic?
- Wedding Coordinating/Planning
2. What is the driving problem behind your experiment and the quote by an expert to support that problem?
- There is too much competition in the wedding planning field and there is not enough wedding celebrations to benefit all wedding planners. Also, couples do not have enough money to higher wedding planners.
- "I recently spoke to a well known high-end wedding supplier in the US whose main (and only) competition closed. They are now competing with lower-end/middle market suppliers, which means the price comparison between what he quotes his customers to what the competition is quoting is so vast. He has had to reduce his costs to compete for the business. Effectively losing his competition is nearly killing his business."
3. What is your hypothesis? (Must be in If-Then form.)
- If the budget of a wedding celebration is beyond average then engaged couples are more likely to hire a wedding planner.
4. Write a paragraph summary of how you will perform the experiment. Include the tools you plan on using.
- I will conduct this experiment by contacting all of the recent clients of my wedding planner to gain the information of their wedding budget, whether or not they hired a wedding planner, their race, the location of their wedding, the age they decided to get married and the year they were wedded. Then I will gain the same information but through online wedding sites such as The Knot, where I can contact brides that are already married and/or brides-to-be. I will not ask for their names because I would like to keep this questionnaire anonymous. After gaining all of this research, I will conduct adequate graphs and come up with a solution.
5. Select one of the following Project Categories for your experiment:
