Our Inventor Store has LAUNCHED!

Howdy, folks! Nathan here. I am the Internet Sales Manager and Client Networking Director for Source Direct. Over the years, we have helped many products see their way to the big box and internet retail stores. I have been working on a new way to showcase our inventors and their products, and what better way than with our own SOURCE DIRECT ONLINE STORE!

Luckily, we were able to secure the name InventorShowcase.net, which is a prime domain and super search-able. Our inventors who complete the manufacturing process with us will be featured on this site as soon as their shipments come in….cool, right? We will be adding more paid ads soon, to bump up traffic and get more visitors to the site.

What does this website feature?

  • Full shopping cart functionality and credit card processing.
  • “Recently Viewed” and “Featured Products” on the right sidebar.
  • Customers have their own accounts to track purchases, change billing/shipping info, and order more products.
  • New items added monthly!

This is just one more perk of working with Source Direct. Our team will expertly guide you through the invention process so you can eventually end up on our store site, as well as many others!

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.

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.

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!

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!

SUCCESS STORY: Nancy Jane’s Stacking Planters

We have had some amazing successes. Here is one huge example!

Nancy Jane’s Stacking Planters™ have been around since 2000. Nancy was the first to design the stacking planters and lead the forefront of the revolutionary vertical gardening with her pot designs.

Nancy’s planters are the only self watering planters that can be recognized “As Seen On TV” and have been sold on QVC as well as Home Shopping Network. The Nancy Jane Stacking Planters™ brand has evolved over the years, and much was invested into research and development to improve and expand the already popular self watering stacking planters. In 2010, Garden Supply continues with the growth of the Nancy Jane Self Watering Stacking Planters™ line.

Garden Supply is dedicated to the same principles of producing quality gardening supplies and developing innovative and exciting new products. Garden Supply has improved Nancy’s original self watering stacking planter so that water flows throughout the entire stack of pots, and is excited to share this improvement with all. We welcome you to try our newly designed planters for yourself! We stand behind our beliefs of constant innovation and our standards of producing only high quality gardening products that serve a unique and useful function.
