Website: www.SalonBronzeReach.com
Prediction: Likely to succeed
The original Salon Bronze was moderately sucessful, coming in at No. 30 on the JW Annual for 2005. What I like about this new-and-improved version is that it is an even better solution than its predecessor. That "sun gun" design (see below) always struck me as more of a gimmick than a practical idea. But this design is the opposite, more function than form -- and that's a good thing.
The only challenge here is that the category has gotten even more crowded than it was in 2005, so I can't give the project a perfect S7 score. However, the high marks it gets for being truly different could offset that disadvantage.
Besides, one good thing about big, crowded categories: You know consumers are interested.
