I Have An Idea….now what?

Hello readers! Nathan here – I am the Client Networking Director and Social Media Guru for Source Direct. I am starting this blog as a 5 part series to help inventors see their product to completion. Enjoy this blog, and share with your inventor friends! 

“Okay, I have an idea for an invention…now what do I do?” This is probably one of the most common questions that we usually get asked. The journey to completion of a product can be very exciting – but everything starts with a solid idea. 

You must be very careful. In this age, with social media and information interactivity, it can be very easy to lose track of your confidential thoughts, ideas, and innovations. Many have heard the old saying, “Send a letter to yourself with your idea enclosed…this way nobody can say it’s not originally yours!” Don’t do this! This isn’t a legal way to secure your idea – no matter what anyone says. Make sure that all parties involved in your idea have signed some sort of documentation to keep everything secure.

After you have put all of your thoughts on paper, the very first thing you should do is call us – Source Direct! Our founder, Ed Mauro, is an inventor himself – he’s been in exactly the same place you are now. We can help you go directly from concept to completion, and our 20+ years of experience will speak for itself. We have inventors call us every day, seeking guidance and assistance to make sure that their dream becomes a reality.

Feel free to contact me today at 888-373-3876, extension 212. I love hearing about new and amazing products! Mention this blog and you’ll receive a complimentary analysis of your product, and how we can help you today!

Success Story: BRAINY PAC

brainypac

SPOTLIGHT ON: Brainy Pac, http://brainypac.com/

Inventor: Karen Cooney, NJ

About the Product: The Brainy Pac is an innovative cap with a waterproof pouch and pockets on either side, made of a dense material so nobody can see the items inside! The pockets are designed to be secured shut with heavy duty Velcro. This one-size-fits-all cap design is available in blue, black or tan. The Brainy Pac is designed to be worn by men, women, and children!

Testimonial from the Inventor: Ed has really been a life saver for me. Before I found Source Direct, I was working with another company that took a year to send me a sample – very frustrating! Then, I found Ed and he has been helping me ever since. He got my prototype and all I needed for my hat invention/company. In fact, I did a small radio show last week for small business and inventors, and I mentioned Source Direct on the air! My dream of getting my invention going is mostly thanks to the Source Direct team and Ed. We are working on getting the product out there more – we just got into the Johnson and Smith catalog – of course, Ed is handling all the details! Can’t wait to see my hat in many stores! Thank you again Ed and Source Direct!
