DOT Marks the Spot Accepted for Walmart's "Get on the Shelf" Contest

March 5, 2012 - PRLog -- DOT Marks the Spot, Inc. is pleased to announce their inclusion in Walmart's "Get on the Shelf" contest, a campaign developed by Walmart's social media wing, @WalmartLabs.  Walmart, the nation’s largest retailer, is promoting the contest as a way to find new and innovative products, like DOT Marks the Spot, for Walmart.com and Walmart stores nationwide.

DOT Marks the Spot made the first cut for the contest as one of over 4000 submissions.  It's a unique, patented picture hanging system that solves the frustration of hanging pictures, shelves, TV mounts, mirrors, sconces, etc., right the first time.  DOT Marks the Spot is perfect for the home consumer, tradespeople, home decorators, realtors and anyone involved in home decor and design.  It uses a simple three-step process to hang wall projects and alleviates the need for tape measures and pencil marks, leaving no extra unsightly holes in the wall.

Susan Grillo, President/CEO, Colorado Springs mom, and inventor of DOT Marks the Spot, was frustrated with the thought of hanging a shelf she had purchased for her daughter’s room. She recalls, “I remember thinking to myself…there has to be a better way! I let a beautiful shelf sit on the floor of my daughter’s room for six months because I dreaded the difficulty involved in hanging it. I wanted an easier way…so I invented it!”

The first round of voting for Walmart's "Get on the Shelf" contest begins March 7, 2012 and goes through April 3, 2012.  The top ten entries will move on to Round Two, which will be held from April 11 - 24, 2012.  DOT Marks the Spot's entry can be viewed at the following link:  http://www.getontheshelf.com/product/2455/DOT-Marks-the-Spot.
