Everyday Product Innovation
Interns will explore a real consumer product currently sold on Amazon.com and eBay.co.uk, examining the everyday problem it solves, the people who might use it, and how it compares with alternative solutions available on those two marketplaces.

Overview
UStop Pee Stopper is a small, flexible toilet seat accessory sold on Amazon. It is designed to stop urine from leaking through the gap between the toilet seat and bowl, fitting most standard toilet seats with a front measuring less than 0.9 inches high and 2.9 inches wide. It is a real, physical product with an active Amazon listing, a defined price point, and genuine customer reviews — not a hypothetical case study.
This makes it a useful subject for an intern project: it is simple enough to understand quickly, but it raises real questions about identifying an everyday problem, understanding who a product is really for, and seeing how a small, low-cost item competes in a crowded marketplace of similar solutions.
This project focuses purely on learning about the product, its likely customers, and the wider market around it — not on producing marketing materials or commercial output.
Expectations
Interns are expected to explore the product listing, carry out a small amount of independent research, and develop their own observations. Interns should think critically, form their own conclusions, and submit their findings in their own words.
Interns should approach the project with curiosity and initiative. This is a learning and discovery exercise, not an employment task or a marketing assignment, and interns should not attempt to create commercial content or represent the business in any way.
