3 min readFeb 21, 2020

Overview

Students are often in a temporary state, meaning they often need their furniture, appliances and more on a short-term basis. So they need every item for a short period of time. spending too much money and buying it will be a bad decision for them. because After that, they need to throw away things and move on to the next stage of life.

So what we do here is to provide a service for them to Buy and Sell items whatever they required for a period of time they spend in the hostel. then it won’t be a burden for them to get the products and sell them.

What does HostelCart do?

Hostelcart is a second-hand C2C marketplace focused solely on university students by using location services. Through Hostelcart, a university email must be verified to gain access to their university’s market, allowing students to buy and sell from people they know and trust. Since all buyers and sellers will be university students, there is no need to ship items, and students can pick up their items in person on campus.

Hostelcart allows consumers to target specific products through the application categorization feature. For example, students are able to purchase textbooks for their upcoming classes from students who have already taken the course.

User Persona

So here we have two candidates persona. one is a newcomer to college and the second person is about to finish his studies.
