Podcast: I love lamp! No, really, the Goodnight Lamp looks awesome
Connected devices are fun, probably the future of home automation and will offer consumers an entirely new world of services around their personal and device data. But where on earth does one stock these products? If you’re Target, where do you stock the connected light bulbs? The electronics department? The light bulb aisle?
What about a connected lamp? Housewares? A connected toy? This week’s podcast guest Alexandra Deschamps-Sonsino who is the brains behind the Goodnight Lamp discusses the lamp, offers some advice for entrepreneurs trying to build consumer products and discusses the challenges of trying to bring connected devices to the retail market. It’s an awesome interview.
