TARGET MARKET DALENA AND KEVIN Dalena is a middle class single mother who is always out at work to support her son. Dalena’s son, Kevin is at the ripe age of twelve years old. Dalena is starting to let Kevin stay home alone without a babysitter. Dalena knows Kevin will get sick eventually . However, every ear thermometer seemed scary to figure out how to use. Kevin is scared that he might hurt himself while using the thermometer. Dalena needs a thermometer that is simple, friendly, and comfortable so Kevin can easily figure out how to use the thermometer on his own.

Kevin needs a thermometer that is mature because he is at the age that he wants to be like his mother. Kevin will also need the ear thermometer to be simple and friendly to use so he can quickly use the thermometer without hurting himself if he is worried of becoming sick.
