Path to an MVP

Introduction

Creating a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) for a subscription box service tailored to pet owners involves careful consideration of their unique needs and preferences. Since the pet care industry is filled with competitors, it's essential to differentiate your offerings while addressing consumer expectations. The MVP should aim to provide value from the onset, capturing the interest of pet owners and establishing a positive customer experience. Consider factors such as product selection variety, personalization options, and convenience, ensuring the service is both attractive and functional to its end-users.
