SUCCESS STORY: Time to Brush!

Spotlight On: Time to Brush – http://www.timetobrush.com/

About the Product: This amazing toothbrush and toothpaste caddy holds toothbrushes and different brands to suit the entire family and keep your dental appliances clean and neatly put away.  Time To Brush is a complete dental station designed to teach your children proper hygiene at an early age. Good brushing habits established early can prevent gum, tooth & mouth issues later in life. Your child will relate to Bobby Brush as he shows your child a fun way to ongoing dental health. Educates children on how to brush correctly with a fun 2 minute animated audio/video that walks children through where and how long to brush each section of the mouth. Bobby Brush will teach your children to always brush properly and thoroughly for maximum clean. Includes “Why Children Need To Brush For Two Minutes” – a handy guide written by a pediatric dentist.

Testimonial from the Inventor: My name is Winston Lawer, President & Owner of The Good Habits Company located in Minneapolis MN. Ed asked if I would reach out with some feedback from our experience working with Source Direct.

I came to Ed with a product that was rather complex and involved electronics. I used to source companies in China and India on my own and decided to try Source Direct and to let Ed Mauro do all the work since he doesn’t capitalize on the project unless we generate income.

Ed worked with me along the way and fielded my questions, followed my instructions and offered feedback along the way. Things have worked out nicely on our first run with Ed and we are in the process of looking over another project we have in development and are going to have Ed source it as well.

He is a gentleman with experience and is a respectable man who knows his field. I can say this because I know from sourcing myself and my personal experience working with Ed he gets things done correctly and knows how to.

Is your invention GOOD enough to succeed in the marketplace?

Ideas for new inventions can come at a dime-a-dozen. Everyone thinks they have the latest and greatest idea for making the world a better, more efficient, and cooler place to be. Despite a biased belief, not all ideas will work – or even make it to prototyping.

Here are some things to keep in mind when attempting to bring your product idea to life:

Cave_invention

  • Does it serve a purpose? Consumers are consistently looking for a solution – does your product provide a solution to their imminent problem? If you are looking to create an item purely of a novelty nature, consider that it’s “purpose”.
  • Is the target demographic realistic? Speak to different consumers in your target demographic to see if they like or dislike the idea. Pre-development testing is a good idea, so you get an understanding of what could happen on the store shelves. Is this something that your demographic can get excited about?
  • Has someone else come up with this idea, or something similar? This is huge. Obviously, there are different competing brands with virtually the same product (Coke/Pepsi, McDonalds/Burger King, Mac/PC). Yes, the examples provided are broad, but you should make sure that there  are enough unique identifiers to your product to make it different. 
  • Do you have the captial to pull this off? By capital, I don’t necessarily mean money (completely). Do you have the supplies, resources, materials, and financial backing? It takes a lot of work to bring a product to life.
  • Is your idea solid? Could you pitch this idea in front of potential investors, and be confident? You must have 100% confidence in your product to see it to completion.

SUCCESS STORY: Weave Scratcher

ws

SPOTLIGHT ON: Weave Scratcher, http://www.weavescratcher.com/

About the Product: The Weave Scratcher™ is the first of its kind; a hair tool made especially for Women who experience one of the most common factors in wearing hair weaves, braids or wigs…THE ITCHY SCALP!

aboutWS Products invented the Weave Scratcher™ in 2011 after surveying many women who became frustrated with the fact that there was nothing on the market that can relieve the annoying itch that comes with wearing a weave. As avid weave wearers, WS Owners already knew the common yet dangerous solutions women resulted too…patting of the head, use of a rat tail comb and bobby pins. Each resolution is quick but the ending results can be painful and eventually damaging to the scalp such as cuts, sores and at times disturbing the installation of the hair style. Knowing with continue use of these quick fixes would eventually lead to damages for all women a solution to the problem was born the Weave Scratcher™.

WS products carefully designed the Weave Scratcher™ to reflect many of the common items used but safer for the itchy scalp. A tool that is very light weight, thin like a rat tail comb with round soothing balls on a curve edge that does not come off like a bobby pin. The main concern was not only to create a tool safe for the scalp but also something that is stylish and can be used on the go. A tool small enough to carry in a wallet, clutch, purse or jacket pocket and that would be invisible to the eye while in use. This is how The Weave Scratcher™ came to be, it is “The quick fix…to relieve the ITCH!”

The Weave Scratcher™ is the first of a line of products with solutions for women that wear hair extensions. WS Products is excited about the Weave Scratcher and its outcome. It’s the #1 Itch reliever for women that wear hair extensions worldwide. Order yours today and not only will you be satisfied but YOU WILL NEVER WANT TO LEAVE HOME WITHOUT IT!

I have an idea! What should I do next?

Lead-Successful-Invention2Every invention that has ever gone to market started as an idea in the mind of an inventor. The steps that they took directly afterwards are what made them either successes or failures. A lot of planning, development, and even money goes in to the creation of a product – it’s vital that you take the appropriate steps to see an invention to completion.

Here are a few helpful hints that past (and satisfied) clients from Source Direct have shared with us:

  1. Understand your product fully before meeting with an organization that promises to develop your idea. Know what the product’s primary function is, and stick to it. Inventor resource companies, alike to Source Direct, will only work with inventors who have a solid idea and a game plan.
  2. Beware of scam artists who claim to be able to “solve all of your problems with money up front”. You need to be able to trust the organization helping to create your product – they are the lifeline to your livelihood. Look through all documentation, understand milestones, and set realistic goals. Ask the company to show you past successes.
  3. Work with a company that will offer a FREE consultation. Source Direct always gives totally free consultations and evaluations. Some organizations will work with anyone and everyone, just to turn over a profit. Source Direct has a very particular on-boarding process, and it’s taken seriously!
  4. Do a search to make sure your idea has not been patented already. You can do a free search on at www.uspto.gov.
  5. The worst thing you can do is prematurely spend all of your money that you’ve allocated for the project. Know your budget, and make sure that the company you work with is reputable.

Most ideas/inventions fail in the early stages due to lack of preparedness, and not knowing where to go or who to talk to. With Source Direct, we have 25+ years in the industry to back us up!

Do you have an idea? Are you in the early stages of invention development? We’d like to help!

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
