Our business makes Shop-A-Lot Buddies. Our buddies help shoppers relieve the stress of carrying their heavy bags throughout the malls and other stores. It will help relieve back pain, shoulder pain, pain in the arms and wrists. It allows shoppers to place all of their bags and purse if they have one on our Shop-A-Lot-Buddy and continue to shop without the stress of heavy, bulky bags. It will fold down into a compact bundle to store in vehicles while not in use.

Our Shop-A-Lot-Buddy is a cart that has hooks and storage space for bags, purses, and hanging clothes. It allows shoppers to get all of their shopping done without having to carrying their heavy bags from store to store. It also give peace of mind when it comes to having too many bags and people take their purchases to their car and then they worry if someone saw and will break into their car to get their purchases.

Our target market is shoppers. When we took our Shop-A-Lot buddy to the mall we were getting questions and interest from several shoppers. People will pay because it will relieve the pressure on their body from carrying bags that are heavy and bulky. Our target market is large. I am at the mall all of the time and so are a lot of other people. It will especially come in handy during the holidays when people do a lot of shopping.

We have been working on this idea for a while now, but did not realize the resources available to help us get it off the ground. We have a prototype and it is our goal to start a business and manufacture our product right here in the United States even though the costs of production will be slightly higher.
