In these times of the pandemic, we all wash our hands thoroughly. Butโฆ do we wash our phones?
Iโm sure some of you might throw your phones onto your beds after a long day, or pick it back up after a nice, warm and clean shower. But when and how do you clean your phones?
Some sources advise not to bring your phones to dirty places, or even use alcohol to perform a surgical cleanse. But imagine this. Youโre at a restaurant waiting for your food. Ensuring that your hands should be clean during the meal, you sanitise them or go to the bathroom first to wash your hands. But while waiting for your food, you start using your phone.
Just like that, unknowingly, your hands are dirty again!
So, this begs the question, how do you clean your phone when youโre outside?
This is where Daniel Tan of IWANTCUSTOMGIFTS come in.
He has created the one-stop solution to your phoneโs sanitation needs.
He started small, with pop-up stores at flea markets, then at malls like Bugis Plus, all the way back in 2011. His passion drove him forward, creating more and more innovative gifts, even winning a product innovation excellence award in 2019.
But it all came crashing down when COVID-19 hit.
His 2020 plans for expansion and furthering his company through product trade shows came to screeching halt. Companies that once needed his inventful and creative gifts suddenly stopped contacting him, due to a lack of marketing budget. Some clients even ordered a full refund for the first time.
โHow did this happen?โ he thought over and over.
He left his stable job to chase his dream, and now, 10 years later, it seems like the company that heโs built with his sweat and tears was coming to a close. His wife, who works along him, also racked her brain on finding ways to save the company. But of course, tensions were high. Daniel had his methods and she had her own suggestions. His relationship with the people around him was falling apart.
Daniel & his wife were on the verge of divorce.
What happened? Did his dream lead him to fail? Is it all over?
COVID-19 mightโve almost taken away his dream, but he was going to use the pandemic to his advantage. He picked himself up and teamed up with his wife.
Thatโs when they created the latest product, COLLAPXI.
The worldโs first collapsible UVS Sterilizer with a 10,000mah Wireless Powerbank.
So back to our problem of cleaning our phones, nothing is more convenient than Collapxi.
Holding it in my hands when collapsed, itโs not much larger than your conventional elongated 10,000 powerbanks.
Even if you dislike the idea of bringing a โcontainerโ for your phone, the charger/sterilizer is detachable. It also comes equipped with multiple cables to charge your phone with, if wireless charging is too slow.
If you want your phone to stay clean, thereโs no better way.
