Transitioning from daytime casual to nighttime dress often means carting around a second pair of shoes or leaving and extra pair at the office or in the car… it’s cumbersome and inconvenient. What we need is a footwear TWIST that liberates our choices… and that’s exactly what French shoe designer Tanya Heath has done. They’ve TWISTED to create one shoe with interchangeable heel options, giving the wearer control and the freedom of choice.
They provide one pair of shoes, with multiple, snap-on, heel height options. The shoes and heels are sold separately-and the extra heels fit handily into a handbag. A huge plus for end of the night moments, when you are tired and want to slip into a more comfortable heel.
Tanya Heath literally walked a mile in their target market’s shoes. They weren’t afraid to TWIST outside the (shoe) box and de-construct the traditional product experience to come up with a more user-friendly option.
Sometimes the parts are greater than the whole. Is there something you could de-construct to come up with an innovative solution that makes life easier for your market?

Enjoying a cocktail is nothing new. Neither is having an herb garden. But TWIST them together and you get Grow Cocktails, an innovative addition to a do-it-yourselfer’s happy hour.
Grow Cocktails offers a complete herb garden growing kit – that comes in an egg carton. The clever (and eco-friendly) packaging makes this product really stand out.
The sassy messages, “Grow happiness in small spaces” and “Relax. Enjoy. Be Happy” reinforce their brand promise of delivering an easy-going and fun experience from sowing the seeds to sipping the cocktails. They also have Grow Pizza, Grow Salsa and Foodie Garden in a box if you want a snack to go-with.
What two experiences can you TWIST together to surprise and delight your customer?

Families with elderly relatives who need constant caregiving have few options when it comes to long-term housing. Assisted living and nursing homes can be expensive and many older adults want to maintain some independence and stay close to their families. Enter N2Care’s innovative TWIST to address a growing need, the MEDCottage, a.k.a: “The Granny Pod”.
The MedCottage TWISTS an RV mobile home with a hospital room.
“Our products offer families the ability to directly participate in the recovery, rehabilitation and extended care of the people they love.”
These are mobile, modular dwellings that can be temporarily placed on a caregiver’s property. There are three designs to select from. One is designed to fit into an
existing garage. Another is designed on an RV platform and the third comes as a kit you or a contractor assembles. Each is handicapped accessible, comes equipped with safety rails, first aid kit, defbrillator machine, lighted floorboards, floor sensors, a computer virtual companion, and video cameras that alert the family if something goes wrong.
AARP says 25 million Americans need to take care of their elderly parents. N2Care recognized the growing need of this target population and created a win/win concept that allows great care and more independence for older Americans.
