The Product: The No Drop is a simple shower accessory which solves the common problem of dropping shampoo bottles off the shower ledge. It's also simple to install! Using the four double suction cups, it holds fast to your shower stall. Made from a silicone material, rust is never an issue. It has also been designed to be able to hold accessories like toothbrushes and razors. The No Drop sets itself apart from other shower products because your bottles don’t have to be any particular shape or size. It simply holds your bottles in place on a ledge, preventing them from falling. It takes up no space in your shower and allows you to keep your shower clean and compact. Many shower products on the market serving a similar purpose have failed to work, not The No Drop!

The Founder: Anthony Estrella
I am a 24-year-old college student at Arizona State University. As a young adult, I found a passion for business and entrepreneurship. With an urge to start my own business, I created The No Drop.

The No Drop is much more than just a product. It symbolizes the ability to turn possibilities into opportunities and opportunities into actualities. In my eyes there isn’t anything that isn’t possible. Overcoming a variety of life’s obstacles, I have continued to enjoy and embrace every situation I am handed.

Marketing/Sales: The No Drop is a new product, and most of our efforts have been focused on gaining customer feedback. Up to this point, we have gathered all the information needed to rethink, revise  and redevelop The No Drop to meet consumer standards. Our initial focus will be on placing our product into small local retailers which will provide us with a proof of concept. With the anticipated success, we can then expand customer options with a variety of color options and styles justifying introducing The No Drop to larger retailers (Wal-Mart,Target, etc.)

Manufacturing: Originally, The No Drop was being manufactured and assembled by myself. This process was justifiable while I was prototyping and testing The No Drop.  After selling, improving and growing The No Drop, it was evident that I have had outgrown the incubator phase. Once the next phase begins we will manufacture overseas. This will allow us to reduce costs and grow the business efficiently. Suppliers for suction cups, boxes and the unit have all been chosen and samples have been received and examined.  Moving manufacturing overseas will not sacrifice quality of The No Drop. As a matter of fact, it will be superior to what we were previously producing. The first run will be a quantity of approximately 500-700 units. ETA for the first run is about 2 ½ weeks from China to Phoenix that will allow us to keep up with demand as needed. Reaching this stage and level of manufacturing has proven that we have outgrown the capacity that our current incubator has to offer.
