While most of our products are developed in-house, we also assist and partner with inventors and companies wanting to commercialize their ideas and innovations. We provide many choices for clients to realize the potential of their products and business opportunities: from fee-based product development and marketing to speculative partnerships that share risk and return. Our experience and contacts help get your product to market in the quickest time with the least risk.
Here are some of the tasks that we can accomplish for you:
- Product evaluation and review
- Build a prototype and recommend improvements
- Focus groups, market surveys, and market research
- Recommend the best intellectual property protection
- Find manufacturers and determine cost-to-make
- Use our distribution contacts to get your product on the shelves
- Manage the ordering, fulfillment, and business to ensure maximum profitability
- Direct the sales & marketing efforts to get the manufactured product sold.
Costs of our services vary based on need and opportunity. Most of the tasks required prior to production, such as market research and prototype construction, are done based on a negotiated fee. Production, distribution, and marketing management costs vary based on market potential and inventor need. Sometimes we’re asked to simply find a manufacturer or manage the marketing for a fee. Other times we work for a percentage of sales. Each product is different and the fee schedule is negotiated upfront.
We will review any product, whether in the conceptual phase or already in production. We will not disclose your idea: we sign a legal agreement guaranteeing confidentiality before we start. If we decide not to work on your product or idea we destroy all paperwork and information in our possession associated with it.
Here are the characteristics of products that interest us:
- Unique, simple design that solves a pressing problem
- Easily manufactured
- Large target market
- Minimal competition
- Patentability is not a key issue
