Lindsey Walbert: The Mermaid Entrepreneur Making a Splash in the American Entertainment Scene

Lindsey Walbert has been captivating audiences with her mermaid persona for over a decade at private events for popular stars. Inspired by professional divers and featured in a 2005 documentary about them, Walbert decided to venture into the business of creating silicone mermaid tails. It took $20,000 to develop her first tail, with design assistance from a friend in Hollywood.

Today, Walbert commands up to $1,000 per performance with her signature mermaid tail. She doesn't shy away from children's parties either, where she strives to embody a natural mermaid presence. In a UNEXSO tour ad, models had to plunge into the ocean waters alongside sharks.

Walbert is considered the unofficial founder of the mermaid tail subculture. Companies like Fin Fun, known for their mermaid tails, have risen to prominence in the industry. Since 2010, Fin Fun has been fulfilling orders for over 50,000 tails monthly, priced at $100 each.

26-year-old entrepreneur Eric DuCharme from Florida sells over a thousand tails annually, fetching around $120 for a standard 120m tail. For a custom-made tail, he sets the price at $5,000, targeting unique designs and high-end clientele.

Mermaid Schools: Dive into the Enchanting World of Mermaid Training

Specialized mermaid schools are thriving in the Philippines, France, Spain, and the USA, charging around $200 per course. Mermaid Portfolio Workshop offers aspiring mermaids a chance to create a mermaid portfolio at a cost of approximately $3,000.

Melissa, a mermaid instructor, runs her own school for party mermaid training. Remaining incognito about the tuition fees, she tailors the training experience to each student's individual needs.

Rachel Smith, a mermaid performer at Dive Bar in the heart of Sacramento, enchants visitors with her underwater shows alongside supporting actresses in a massive 28,000-liter tank filled with fish. Smith reveals that the job of a mermaid performer is no easy feat, with mermaid tails weighing up to 35 lbs.

Mermaid Tail Blankets: Dive into Comfort and Style

Hattie Pease shattered the notion that mermaid tails are solely for show business. Embracing the title of 'Chief Mermaid Advocate,' she launched a profitable venture selling mermaid tail blankets within six months. Blankie Tails, a conglomerate based in China, has sold over 130,000 blankets shaped like mermaid tails. The legal battle over trademark rights for Snuggie Tails by Allstar Marketing Group LLC and Blankie Tails escalated, paving the way for a new competitor, Magic Tails.

The popularity of mermaid tails continues to soar, with Disney set to reimagine the classic 'Little Mermaid' in a new animated film. Photographers are jumping on the trend, conducting mermaid-themed photoshoots with models of all ages.

Classic mermaid tails are typically made of polycarbonate covered in neoprene, with elastic spandex scales for an authentic look.

Mermaid Tail Materials:

  • Hypoallergenic
  • Antibacterial
  • Breathable
  • Temperature-regulating
  • Elastic
  • Durable
  • Water-resistant
  • Insulating
  • Quick-drying
  • Cost-effective
  • Comfortable
  • Easy to care for

These materials are not only making waves in the fashion industry but also in sports. Monofins, like Magic Tails, are specialized for speed swimming both on the surface and underwater, resembling a fish tail and mimicking the movements of a mermaid for enhanced performance.

Becoming a mermaid can be a fantastic business idea, especially in an emerging niche market. If diving into this enchanting concept resonates with you, don't hesitate to like and share with your friends!
