The answer is no. But it does have to appeal to the majority of members of a market group. As you can see from the short list above, market groups can be large or niche. Make sure your product idea meets meet a significant need, problem or pain point identified by your target customer.?
If the review team? In Stage 5, we? During this stage, we conduct extensive market research in order to determine that the cost to manufacture, ship and sell this product is relevant to the perceived value that a consumer would expect to pay for the item.
In other words, we want to ensure the product will be profitable once it hits store shelves. Ideally, products should be able to be made inexpensively and quickly.
Remember, the higher the profitability, the more likely your product will? In your submission, be sure to include an estimated price point and target demographic to help us determine market and revenue potential. While there are a variety of factors that can contribute to the overall cost of your product, some variables to consider are the type of material being used to create your product and the potential tooling costs associated with manufacturing the product. We need to be able to justify to potential licensing partners that the product can be made to fit within their current margins.
In addition to evaluating for cost in Stage 5, we review the process of how your idea can be made. Once a product design is realized, engineers need to determine how to execute that idea to make it a reality. Our goal is to ensure your idea can be manufactured quickly and efficiently.
Our Licensing team needs to be able to easily convey how product can be incorporated into a partner? Remember, the quicker and more efficiently a product can be produced, the faster your royalty checks will start rolling in.? If your idea will be a good fit from a cost and engineering perspective with potential partners, you? The next post will take a closer look at what happens during Stage 6, Intellectual Property Review. We hope this information provides a bit more insight into what we look for and we look forward to reviewing your?
Happy Inventing! Wet, powered, one dimensional wand. How much will my jars cost if I have to outsource apples? Or a restaurant. How many people can you feed with what is in you freezer before you need a delivery? And how much money will that make. There is a limit on it. Edison Nation has received your comment and will respond to you directly via email vs. Please check your email for additional information. I have totally been waiting for this one. Contains six flavors not found in nature.
Believes in coyotes and time as an abstract. We Fools may not all hold the same opinions, but we all believe that considering a diverse range of insights makes us better investors. So you have come up with a better mouse trap.
When this thing hits the market, it will make sliced bread look outdated. If Nikola Tesla and Leonardo da Vinci were alive, they would welcome you straight to the inner circle of inventor stardom. The only problem is, you have no idea how to manufacture, market, distribute, and sell this slice of genius. You are an inventor, not a sales ninja or logistics expert, so you are going to need some help.
That is where Edison Nation comes in. The company helps inventors with product development, patent filings, licensing those patents to the giants of the consumer goods industry, and ultimately putting a product on store shelves.
That sounds like exactly the kind of help you need, right? Experts helping you polish that raw idea to a high sheen, and then there is a clear path to record retail sales.
So let's get in line! What are your chances? If this solution sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Edison Nation does supply all the services noted above. Edison Nation very well could make your product dreams a reality, but that is kind of like banking on a career in professional basketball. However, the 30 NBA teams only keep 12 players on each roster, which adds up to just total slots, and most of these already belong to veterans of the game.
The NBA draft is limited to just two rounds, placing no more than 60 new players into the league each year. With thousands of college players clamoring for these rare team spots, and a rising portion of the draft picks bypassing the college system altogether in favor of fully developed professionals from Europe, the chances of turning a stellar college career into NBA gold is vanishingly small. It is kind of like betting everything on double zero in a single spin of the roulette wheel.
Source: Edison Nation. Enough with the hoops, already! Getting back to Edison Nation, the company has filed for "well over " patents. Each one of these filings represents a submitted idea that is ready for the big leagues.
A handful of those patents are real game-changers like Emery Cat or the Pepper Popper Grill -- big sellers that found a market and a distributor, making their inventors very rich. But not all patents make it that far. Right now, Edison Nation highlights just 15 products on its "success stories" page, alongside another 12 items "under production" -- inventors get a head shot and a name plate, because their ideas have been licensed to a manufacturer somewhere, with no further detail on the products, the manufacturing partners, or their relative success.
Source: Louis Foreman. We can use these figures to estimate the number of idea applications submitted every year. This is a ballpark estimate of course. Edison Nation is mum on these statistics, so there will have to be some guesswork here.
And the company is silent for obvious reasons. If Edison files for 60 patents a year, out of , incoming ideas, each idea has one chance in 2, to hit that level, and even that achievement is not an automatic ticket to Easy Street.
Edison employs an eight-stage process to separate the wheat from the chaff, and patent filings only happen at the very end of that long and winding trail. Another way forward Edison Nation might help you turn a new invention idea into a commercial success, but the odds are stacked against you.
The same goes for rivals like Quirky, or reality show Shark Tank.
