A bit on finding a product that will sell and modifying it, in the terms that Kenric is talking about.
I got a deal on a car trash can that clips to the head rest and is waterproof. For me this was a great product because I needed something like this, that was waterproof and washable since I have a child. The one i bought was just branded from a factory... looking at it... a few simple changes and it would be the best selling car trashcan besides graco.
#1 it is brown, no one wants a poop brown car accessory.
The logo is the companies name like "adv23", this is silly because it isn't a brand i'm going to associate with future car accessory purchases if i like the quality.
Since using it, there are things i found could be more useful, the biggest being the clasp could be moved to the end of the loop. Currently it is in the middle, well when it is between the headrest and seat, it has to be dug out and un-clipped from an uncomfortable position. This would be a simple change.
The metal around the top is a great idea, but it should be a flexible semi-har plastic, the metal already cut through the webbing. The velcro on the opening should be a button or something more secure since if you are clasping it to prevent spillage, it is full and velcro wont hold that tension.
These are just a few EASY changes that could be made to this PL type product. Marketed correctly and sold efficiently.
The difference between making $100 and making 10,000 is the effort and thought that goes into it. If you are lazy, you get lazy results.
