A TELEBRANDS BRAND STORY / Outdoor & garden

Rethinking a familiar
garden essential.

Reduce the inconvenience of handling and storing a traditional garden hose. An expandable, retractable hose that contracts when not in use. The benefit was simple to show and easy to recognize.

THE THINKING BEHIND POCKET HOSE

Recognize a need.
Make the value visible.

01

The everyday need

Reduce the inconvenience of handling and storing a traditional garden hose.

02

The product idea

An expandable, retractable hose that contracts when not in use. The benefit was simple to show and easy to recognize.

03

The demonstration

A visible change in size made the product’s idea clear. Pocket Hose Ultra’s commercial earned the 2014 ERA Moxie Award for Best Short Form Variety Infomercial.

TELEBRANDS’ CONTRIBUTION

A visible answer to a familiar inconvenience.

Telebrands’ Pocket Hose story connects an expandable-hose format with consumer advertising, a retail launch and an evolving family of garden products.

A product idea that can support a brand family. The initial expandable-hose proposition created a recognizable starting point for subsequent models, accessories and retail and digital channels.
