INVENTORS - have you looked at CROWDFUNDING as a way to raise money for your invention?

I have teamed up with my friends at Enventys, one of the nations leading product development firms and a leader in the crowdfunding space! They can show you how it’s possible to raise five figures, six figures and even seven figures! Their success rates are among the best in the business! Check them out!

We loved working with the team and would definitely recommend them for any other projects looking for support during crowdfunding.

If there was an INVENTOR MEMBERSHIP CLUB where you can learn everything from the best people in the industry and it was COMPLETELY FREE, would you join?

I’ve been working on a very robust membership club where inventors can learn everything about the invention process from the idea stage all the way to bringing it to market themselves or through licensing. We will have live Q&A sessions and experts from the industry providing articles and videos, and the course a forum where all inventors can chat amongst themselves with our input!

I thought to make it a certain amount per month, but I feel like doing it for free helps everybody even more!

There’s absolutely no catch or no strings attached. Ultimately if people want to work with me very directly where I do things for them, of course they have that option to do so but everything in the club you can learn is just about everything you need to start your invention journey and beyond!

••The club is open officially!••

INVENTORS - a VIDEO is the best way to show off your product to retailers!

A video is worth a thousand words!

Today, capturing the attention of a retail buyer means you have to do it quickly and efficiently. How do you do that? Through a video!

- Make the video SHORT...60 seconds max. BUYERS just don’t have the time or attention span.

- Make sure you explain exactly what your product is and the main benefits and features. GET TO THE POINT FAST!

- You can make high-quality videos right from your phone. Certainly you can invest in more professional videos but either way can work!

INVENTORS- Do RETAILERS pay you upfront for your order?

No...they do not!

When you sell your product to a major retailer, They will not pay you a deposit or pay anything upfront. They work on what’s called NET TERMS such as net 30 days or net 60 days or even net 90 days. This means they will pay you 30, 60, or 90 days after they receive your goods in their warehouse.

Occasionally, If a retailer is very confident in your product, they will do what’s called a DIRECT IMPORT deal where they will wire you the money for your product after it’s been picked up from the factory. This typically happens after you’ve been doing business with them for a while but it can happen the very first time you deal with them.

The bottom line is you need to be prepared to go without getting paid for a month or two or more and so you need to plan accordingly!

What’s the most CHALLENGING part of INVENTING?

For me it was always marketing.

When I ran my product company years ago, I always felt like I made great products and could successfully sell them but getting visibility was always the challenge.

Advertising was expensive and even when you did it didn’t mean that people saw your ads. Retailers love brands and finding a way to grow my brand was always a difficult task but eventually I got there. Between running ads and attending tradeshows and sponsoring events we eventually made headway.

WHAT’S YOUR GREATEST CHALLENGE?

INVENTORS - DON’T PERFECT YOUR PRODUCT IDEA...or someone else will get to market FIRST!

Too many inventors spend too much time and money trying to work out every last detail of their product because they feel if they don’t it just won’t sell well or work right.

Now don’t get me wrong...making sure your product performs well and looks good are very important. The last thing you want to do is to hurt your brand or compromise your values.

But...

If you spend forever and a day trying to make sure that everything is PERFECT, someone else will come along with something similar and possibly even better and create the success you’ve been working so hard to potentially enjoy.

Once your product hits the market believe me consumers will let you know very quickly what can be improved and changed and that’s when you come along and make a new updated version that meets the needs and demands of the very people who buy it.
