Joy Mangano was 33 and divorced(離婚), had three kids under age 7, and was hardly keeping up payments on her small two-bedroom home by working extra weekend hours as a waitress.
“Sometimes I would lie in bed and think. I don’t know how I’m going to pay the bills,” Mangano said.
But she had a gift for seeing the obvious. She knew how hard it was to mop the floor. “I was tired of bending down, putting my hands in dirty water and wringing(擰)out a mop.” Mangano says. “So, I thought: There’s going to be a better way.”
How about a “self wringing” mop? She designed a special tool that could be twisted(轉動)in two directions while not making hands wet and dirty. She set out to sell it, first only a few at flea markets(跳蚤市場).
Then Mangano met with the media. But would couch potatoes(泡在電視機前的人)buy a mop? The experts on shopping TV were less than certain. They gave it a try, and it failed. Mangano was sure it would sell if they’d let her do the on-camera demonstration.
QVC took a chance on her. “I got onstage and the phones went crazy. We sold every mop in minutes.”
Today she’s the president of Ingenious Designs, a multimillion-dollar company, and one of the stars of the Home Shopping Network. Talking about her household inventions is “as natural for me as it is for parents to talk about their children”.
Today one of her favorite products is Huggable Hangers. The thin, space-saving inventions are the most successful gadget(器具)ever sold on HSN, with 100 million hanging out there in closets across the country. Of course, you couldn’t possibly sell hangers on TV.
