How a 15-year-old entrepreneur got her product into Nordstrom
She launched her business two years ago, but Houston teenager
Madison Robinson has yet to face something most new entrepreneurs
do: rejection.
Every store buyer she has approached has placed an order for
her Fish Flops for Kids shoe brand.
Robinson came up with the idea for her sea-creature-adorned
flip-flops with battery-operated lights when she was just 8,
living at the beach in Galveston Island, Tex.
Her dad Dan, a former banker turned t-shirt designer, helped
her turn her drawings into a product and get samples made.
More than 30 stores placed orders the first time they exhibited
at a trade show, so he hired an overseas manufacturer and
started shipping in May 2011.
The shoes now sell online, in various retail boutiques, and
at 60 Nordstrom stores nationwide for around $20 a pair.
More than 60,000 pairs sold in 2012, making for retail sales
of at least $1.2 million.
That's not all Fish Flops' income; the Robinsons sell wholesale.
But Dan Robinson says it's safe to say that his daughter, who is
about to complete 9th grade, has already socked away enough
profits to cover her college tuition.
What’s next for the Fish Flops founder?
After summer break she’s looking forward to taking a 10th
grade business and finance class.
She also plans to study business in college.
Eventually,she says, “I want to do something by myself.”
Meantime, however, Dad says the Fish Flops brand is
“just getting started.”
