<strong>QVC</strong> <strong>Home</strong> <strong>Shopping</strong> <strong>Network</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>Air</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>New</strong> <strong>FlexiSnake</strong> <strong>Drain</strong> Weasel Product Nationwide<br />

Nov 2012<br />

<strong>QVC</strong>, <strong>the</strong> country's largest television shopping network has placed a purchase order for <strong>FlexiSnake</strong> Inc's new, "<strong>to</strong>p-of-<strong>the</strong>line"<br />

product, <strong>the</strong> <strong>Drain</strong> Weasel Plus. Product is set <strong>to</strong> deliver <strong>the</strong> first week of January 2013 with airings expected soon<br />

We're hoping for a repeat of <strong>the</strong> success we experienced with our original <strong>FlexiSnake</strong> Hair Clog Tool on <strong>QVC</strong> two years ago.<br />

With over $1 million in sales and "Cus<strong>to</strong>mer Top Rated" status achieved, that national coverage and success has increased<br />

awareness of our drain-cleaning products with consumers. The hair-clog sink demos we perform on TV and at trade shows<br />

have been highly visual and effective. Since slow bathroom drains affect nearly all households, people quickly relate <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

problem and see <strong>the</strong> benefit of our patented products.<br />
