In DR, the third time is never the charm, and the fourth time is most certainly evidence of a Siren. So how to explain this project, which is Telebrands fourth attempt to sell shoelaces that don't need to be tied?
Here's the history:
- In December of 2011, Telebrands tried kid-focused Ready Laces
- In April of last year, Telebrands tried adult-focused Loafer Laces (see the bottom of this Telebrands Round-Up), which were a 'fast fail'
- In July of last year, Telebrands tried kid and adult-focused Easy Ties (No. 5 in this Weekly Round-Up), which were also a 'fast fail'
- And now we have these kid-focused zipper laces
Needless to say, if this works I will have to rethink several of my beliefs and catch-phrases!
