Summary

We recognized the opportunity to increase revenue through the redesign and sale of the disposable camera. By realizing this opportunity we decided to improve features such as water resistant case, rubber outlining, smaller camera and on-the-go wristband. We think that these changes will greatly increase the revenue the camera generates especially for the target of the targeted audience for children and parents.
