For Aqualisa’s Quartz shower system to become more profitable and accepted in the United Kingdom’s, stagnant, unimaginative, shower market, Rawlinson needs to work to educate all potential consumers on the features and benefits of the Quartz shower system. More importantly, to gain that market share needed to make the Quartz system successful, Rawlinson needs to focus the Quartz marketing efforts on the do-it-yourselfers, and the plumbers. These markets are the areas that this new product and technology would have the most direct effect on, they will be the installers of the product, and in most cases the decision makers on where the system will be installed. Without the acceptance and buy-in of these two key markets, the Aqualisa Quartz shower system will not grow its market share or change the perception of showers in the United Kingdom.

Have you ever sat on the toilet and thought to yourself where did the toilet actually come from? Well back in ancient times people dug holes into the ground, and after they were done they would cover the hole back up. Other people use outhouses, and that was not very sanitary. It was not until 1596, when Sir John Harrington, in the country of England, created the first flushing toilet. It was not very popular and it had the flushing system right above your head. When the toilet became really popular until Alexander Cummings made the toilet with the S-valve in 1775. This is why toilets are the greatest invention in the world.
