Identifying Opportunities in Economic & Regulatory Trends

Economic Trend
economic trend for veterinarians are looking good. There is a need for veterinarians as jobs are opening. There is also a large sum of people looking for veterinarian jobs.

B) The U.S. is running short on workers requiring companies to lack in numbers and either stay the size they are or close. Families and people with disabilities buy dogs for fun and sometimes to get around. There is always a want for animals which means the U.S. needs veterinarians. Many jobs are being replaced by computers lucky veterinarians have not been replaced by computers yet.

C) Everyone who has an animal's seeking medical treatment, check-ups, day care, night stays, and shots.

D) I had more difficult finding the trends of veterinarians because there is more of a constant need for veterinarians. Just under two years ago there was a huge want for veterinarians and people were getting jobs fast. Since then the industry has been fine but not needing as many workers constantly joining the workforce.


Why did you see the opportunity:
I chose to look at the economic trend of veterinarians because it related to my opportunity from last week. In order for all the dogs to stay healthy and for them to attend the school everyday, the dogs will have to be all caught up on their shots and may need medicine when the get sick or injured.


SharpSpring is a growing marketing automation company located in Gainesville, FL. They have potential to be the number one network automotive agency.

A) I recently got an internship and realized how fast this company was changing not just internally but externally as well. The company really started booming in 2015.

B) As we get more and more technologically advanced more and more companies are becoming online based or online and in person stores. With that being said advertising has started online. SharpSpring is like other networking automotive company but sells at a cheaper price. It is currently the newest emerging company coming in as the fourth most used marketing site.

C) Agency wanting to better market their companies so that they get better sales and more involved customers. Also good for people who want to post on multiple media sites at the same or scheduled for different times.

D) Finding data to back somethings up can be difficult since the company is so new compared to the other top marketing firms. But when you look at the numbers and compare to the other companies that have been around since the early 2000's, it quite shocking. SharpSpring now has over 7,000 customers since opening.

Why did you see the opportunity:
I started working at SharpSpring in August, since then I have seen how much this company to grow. They started a new idea where they are going to have provide lunches for agencies in attempt for them to use our platform. The company is very modern and constantly staying up with today's trend.

Regulatory Changes

Red Tide

B) The red tide is increasing harming the waters in south Florida yearling. Millions of fish can be found along the seashore dead during red tide season. Not to much the people in the area affected have to smell all the dead fish. Until recently there was no to little funding to stop the red tide.

C) Everyone living in the affected area by the red sea, fishermen, people who eat fish.

D) The opportunity is difficult to exploit. People of the town do not want to spend their money on fixing the red tide and expect the government to use the taxes on fixing the water. This makes the process of cleaning and preventing the growth of the red tide take longer because the government is limited on what they can spend the tax money on.

Why did you see the opportunity:
I have been to south Florida when the red tide hits. There were hundreds of dead fish lined down the canal where many other homes were located. The smell and the color are obvious signs that something needs to happen to prevent the growth of the red tide.


Automotive Car

A) https://www.abcactionnews.com/news/state/new-florida-laws-that-go-into-effect-july-1-2019

B) There has always been a dream that one day people could see flying cars and self driving cars. Growing up in school I remember reading about how automotive cars can be found on the road as early as 2015. Many companies now have lane assistance which is a version of self driving cars in a sense. The idea has been become a greater opportunity as we become more technologically advanced.

C) Everyone who is able to drive and wants a car to drive for them.

D) The opportunity is easier to exploit automotive cars because of how long the need has been around. Many people have wanted to see self driving cars.

Why did you see the opportunity:
Uber and Lyft are nothing driving services. People pay $150 for 30 minute rides or $9 for a ride down the road. The companies are trying to find a way to make more marginal profit. Uber and Lyft found that there was a way for them to make more money by having these self driving cars.

  1. I find it interesting that you identified a trend towards a larger number of veterinarians for the first part of the assignment. I took that portion of the assignment to mean something more along the lines of "identify macro trends," so this was a fresh perspective. In addition, I found it interesting that you classified automated cars as a "need." You might be right, I just always thought of them as a pleasant idea as opposed to a solution to a pressing problem.
