Patience in Inventing….is a virtue!
The inventing process does take a while. Most inventors are shocked to find out that their product may take months, if not years, to get to completion (and eventually the store shelves). There are many factors involved:
- The complexity of the product – does it take extra engineering/design?
- Changes – there will ALWAYS be changes to a final product’s design and function. During the production process, you (the inventor) may notice something that needs to be changed, or your invention support company may notice things that should be enhanced or fixed. Changes are inevitable.
- Manufacturing Process – once the design and development is done, the product has to actually be manufactured.
- Packaging and Shipping – upon completion of production, the product must be packaged and shipped to your fulfillment center.
It’s not an overnight thing! But, with proper marketing plans and sales strategies, the “waiting” time is incredibly valuable. You want to make sure your product is ready to be sold when it finally makes it to your warehouse! Be smart!
