Innovative pet products wanted for new TV series

 

A film production company is searching for innovative pet product companies to take part in a new BBC series called ‘The Customer Is Always Right’.

 

The TV programme is an exciting new series that follows budding entrepreneurs from across the UK as they try to make a success of their inventions. They are making everything from pet accessories to health and beauty products, home and garden tools to children’s gadgets.

 

“This new series will celebrate small businesses, entrepreneurs, and people who are proud and passionate about their products,” said Sarah Brake, a researcher for Firecracker Films.

 

“From start-ups and prototypes, to products that are already on the market, we’re looking for entrepreneurs and product designers from all over the UK to showcase their work to a larger market and crucial customer testing.”

 

Each episode of The Customer Is Always Right will feature three entrepreneurs showing the blueprints and prototypes of their inventions. Audiences will hear about the inspiration behind their creation and the sacrifices they had to make in getting their dream item funded and brought to market.

 

“Crucially, their new products will be tested on the people who are most important – the customers,” added Sarah. “So often overlooked, they are the people who can make or break a business with constructive and critical feedback.

 

“There will be a cast of returning customers, all with different points of view, who are ready to road test the entrepreneur’s products and unleash their honest thoughts on everything from the design to the practical use to the selling price.

 

“They’ll unbox and deliver their honest and sometimes funny assessments before scoring each product. And because the customer is always right, they will pick the winner.”
