Validation Tips (How to Test Before Building) Create a Mini-Version: Design a single-week sample planner (e.g., one daily page and one weekly hub) in Canva. Share it for free in mom-focused Facebook groups or on Instagram with a call-to-action asking for feedback (e.g., “What’s missing? What do you love?”). Run a Survey: Use a free tool like Google Forms to ask 10–20 moms in your network or online communities about their biggest scheduling challenges and what they’d want in a planner. Include questions like, “What sections would make your day easier?” or “Do you prefer digital or printable planners?” Post on Social Media: Share a Canva mockup of one planner page on Instagram or Pinterest with a caption like, “I’m designing a planner for busy moms! Would you use a daily schedule with a self-care checklist? Comment below!” Track engagement and comments to gauge interest. Pre-Sell the Idea: Create a landing page on Gumroad or Carrd offering a discounted pre-order for the planner. Share the link in mom communities. If you get 5–10 pre-orders, it’s a strong signal to proceed. Leverage Your Network: Ask 2–3 mom friends to test your sample planner for a week and provide honest feedback. Use their input to refine the design before creating the full product.
