First 100 users for Walmart.com Data Insights

You never know if your MVP is going to be good enough or note, but thankfully, after less than a month after launching, we got to 100 users of DataSpark. Some things that we learned along the way:
-Be "inspired" what is already working: Because Amazon is so well established, we were able to find the closest Amazon solution provider that we wanted to mirror and use their solutions to inspire what we did for Walmart. It took away a lot of the guess work
-Early research led to early users: We reached on several Facebook groups before we ever started coding anything to see if there would be interest in a tool like we envisioned. We got a resounding YES! Not surprisingly, these same users were the first to sign up when we came back and told them it was ready. Plus, we avoided any self promotion perceptions since we just asked if they were interested in something not yet built (no self promotion there) and then told them we had delivered what we said we would.
-Facetime is key: we have really prioritized giving facetime to any customer who wants it. At this early stage, the feedback has been priceless.
