When an idea strikes, you best not miss it and that has been the case for Captain Robb Kessler who came up with a brilliant product after a sloppy collared shirt ruined his wedding pictures. Three years after the wedding, a product was born and launched on Amazon.

Robb Kessler, inventor of Million Dollar Collar talked about how he was not able to get Kickstarter funds when he was starting and how it turned into his favour. He built the brand through learning from influencers and from people that mentored him. 

Not the usual perspective of an E-com Seller, Captain Robb ditched the idea of China production and managed for his brand to be made in The US. 

Though his first and main source of sales was Amazon, He felt that his brand wasn’t being well taken care of which led him to create brilliant ads that gained more traffic in Youtube and Facebook. 

“Like Viagra for your shirt” intriguing enough? Learn more about the product and advice Robb gives to those who want to patent a product.
