How this cleaning materials startup transformed into a timeless 140-year legacy

Messes are bound to happen—whether from hosting a dinner party, playing with the kids, or just dealing with everyday chaos. It’s all part of living life. AnMesses are bound to happen, whether from hosting a dinner party, playing with the kids, or dealing with everyday chaos. And let's be real—cleaning isn't the most glamorous task but it's one of those things that must be done.

For over 140 years, Bissell made it their mission to make life a little less messy, literally. Their products are designed to take the stress out of cleaning so customers can focus on enjoying the moment without worrying about the aftermath.

🫧 Clean it all, from floor to ceiling

Back in 1876, Melville Bissell and his wife, Anna, were running a small crockery shop in Michigan. Tired of constantly cleaning sawdust from the shop's carpets, Melville invented the first-ever carpet sweeper. 🧹 

This simple invention was so effective that they quickly realized it wasn’t just their store that needed it—everyone did, including Queen Victoria! Fast forward to today, and Bissell is now synonymous with innovation in home cleaning. Their product lineup covers it allvacuum cleaners, steam mops, carpet cleaners, and even air purifiers.

And the best part? It requires no complicated setups or heavy machines!

👐 Positivity in full circle

Another reason Bissell is so well-loved is that their advocacy efforts resonate deeply with the community.

 Turn messes into success

The reason why Bissell has been around for more than a century is because they’re constantly evolving. From their formulas to tech that’s getting smarter by the day, they’ve kept up with the times while staying true to their roots: making life cleaner, easier, and a little more manageable.The next time you face a challenge in your business, remember Bissell’s journey. Don’t be afraid to adapt and innovate because you too can transform messes into opportunities for success. ✨

DIVING DEEPER

How TikTok pushed a brand to the top of Prime Day 2024 purchases

Long before "going viral" was a thing, Bissell was already creating a buzz. In the late 1800s, word of mouth traveled fast, and they quickly became a household name. It even reached Queen Victoria, who immediately insisted on using them to clean her palace!

Fast forward to today, Bissell is still taking the world and the Internet by storm. Fueled by over 44,000 5-star Amazon reviews and TikTok popularity, this brand has proven its staying power. Just this Prime Day 2024, Bissell reached new heights as one of their products was one of the 10 most popular items purchased.

🗣️ Real stories, real results

Bissell’s viral moment is no accident—and the queens (and kings) of the homes agree. This cleaning powerhouse delivers on its promises, which is why it continues to make headlines far and wide.

  • In an article by E! Entertainment Television, Marenah Dobin shared her struggle with removing paint stains from wooden floors until she discovered the Bissell Steam Shot.
    • It quickly became her miracle worker, effortlessly lifting paint, grease, and even self-tanner stains using nothing but steam and water. No more harsh chemicals, endless scrubbing, or dealing with skin irritations from cleaning products!
  • Bryce Gruber, a contributor for Reader’s Digest, decided to put the Bissell Little Green to the test.
    • As a parent of 5 kids and 2 dogs, he was no stranger to battling spills and pet accidents. Drawn in by the machine’s TikTok fame, Bryce tested it on various surfaces—and it didn’t disappoint.

Their stories, like many others, are a testament to how Bissell’s products continue to transform homes. From royal palaces to contemporary living rooms, Bissell’s cleaning tools make tackling messes easy, one stain at a time. 💯

With all this growth, now is the perfect time to craft a solid plan to ensure your store continues to thrive. StartupNation outlined 4 essential tips to help you get on the right track:

    • Tip: Have backup suppliers to keep your supply chain running smoothly.
  • Prepare for changes in demand. Is it really selling on Amazon if you’re not navigating bumps along the way? The journey to growth is rarely smooth, which makes it crucial to stay agile and ready to adapt to shifts in demand.
    • Tip: Make sure you have the right funding support in place.
  • Invest in a multichannel brand voice. You want to be memorable, right? A unified voice not only strengthens your identity but also builds trust and recognition among your customers! 🎤
    • Tip: Make use of your product descriptions and social media to showcase your brand personality.
  • Commit to customer service. Quick delivery and responsive support across all channels will build trust with your audience. This can help you differentiate your brand without breaking the bank on promotions.
    • Tip: Consider using an all-in-one platform that tracks customer inquiries from various channels.
