Following its successful debut at Toy Fair, ZipString (www.zipstring.com) has now gone from startup to upstart to industry player with its viral hit product now being sold at over 4000 Walmart stores across the country.
“Less than two years ago, we turned an idea, starting in my Dad’s basement, to a Shark Tank appearance, to hand-building and shipping thousands of units to our growing army of fans,” noted co-founders Austin Hillam and Stephen Fazio, “all of which attracted the attention of the legendary Dude Perfect group, leading to a national stage tour and viral video sensation with millions of hits.”
Now, no longer hand-building and shipping from the basement, ZipString has a full factory and distribution operation and its initial offering is the ZipString x Dude Perfect edition. Sales are equally strong on Amazon as well as specialty stores everywhere, and many reviewers have called it the “must have” Stocking Stuffer for this upcoming Holiday season.
