Despite making a product that received nothing but positive feedback, Look at Life Easy Products wasn't among the ten finalists chosen in a contest to land on the shelves of Walmart's 3,868 stores nationwide.
From a small warehouse just off S.R. 64, the family company produces a specialty shelf designed to fit perfectly into a shower's towel rack and hold toiletry products -- ideal for showers without built-in shelves or for the elderly who have a hard time bending down to get their bathing supplies.
The business was among 4,000 across the country to enter Walmart's contest via video submission. The ten finalists included an acne medication, eyeglass repair kit, T-shit, religious magazine and pepper salt made from veterans.
The final round of voting will run from April 11 to April 24, after which the top three contestants and a grand prize winner will be revealed. People can vote for a product via their Facebook account or text message.
As for Look at Life Easy Products, the shelves can still be purchased through the company's website, Amizon.com, eBay or Ace Hardware on Manatee Avenue. The shelves retail at $19.99.

ReplyDeleteI don't think I want pepper salt made from veterans, and hopefully that's supposed to be tee-shirt...
