I need to find around 20 Mums — and Dads! — who would be will­ing to take part in a user test for Mum­my­Mug™, which we will run in June.
It is part of a last val­i­da­tion test before we ramp up pro­duc­tion, and sim­ply con­sists of using a Mum­my­Mug™ at home for a week, and then telling me about the experience.

So, where to start look­ing for these test pilots? Of course it needs to be par­ents with small kids, who like to drink tea and cof­fee, and who prefer­ably are mem­bers a group that meets up any­way, so I can ben­e­fit from con­nect­ing with sev­eral peo­ple being in the same place at one time.

In other words: I need to find a play­group!  As Eleonore is already push­ing 5 and goes to school, the ones I used to go to are no longer active.

Some­one gave me the tip that many play­groups nowa­days are reg­is­tered on MeetUp.com.

OK, said and done: I sim­ply ticked in ‘Play­group’ in the search-field, and… voila, 2,615 results, includ­ing one in Ams­ter­dam. with 161 participants.It has a 5-star rat­ing, so it must be fun!

I’ve fired off an email to the group organ­iser, and now I can only wait and see if they are happy to check out me and my MummyMug™s.

Because I totally respect that these groups are of course not for com­pa­nies to con­tact with­out per­mis­sion. I hope they agree to see me — to be continued!
