We are very excited to announce that the inventors of Linziclip have recently been featured in the inventing blog called Ideas Uploaded.
In the interview both Lindsey Walker and Shelley-Anne Salisbury share their backgrounds and how they came to meet and then invent the Linziclip.
Lindsey and Shelley also share advice and stories about the process of getting a patent and manufacturer and how they have marketed their unique hair accessory product.
A humorous story shared in the interview was about their first prototype for the Linziclip to show to a prospective distributor.
from the article:
Lindsey: Before any drawings, we took a loo roll and cut it in half and slid the two sections together. Clearly, it didn’t look very pretty, so Shelley-Anne took some silver spray to colour the toilet roll – not much better! We then added some glitter and looked proudly at our first mock up ! It looked awful – and we fell about laughing! After we patented the clip, we cold called a distributor and met up with him to guage his thoughts. We couldn’t believe that we actually showed him the loo roll – and that he actually thought the idea was good!!
