About this ebook
Somewhere someone everyday comes up with an idea for a new product, what they hoped to be the next big thing. The truth is most of us dismiss the idea and do nothing because they don't know what to do with it. An idea will always only be an idea if you don't do anything about it. It's not until you see your idea on store shelves later that you think, that was my idea, I should have done something.
Why do we not do anything about it? Because we don't know what to do, who to call or the fear that its going to cost too much money. An already established business professional would probably have the resources and entrepreneurship needed to take an idea to the next level, but what about the housewife or blue collar worker?
The everyday Joe or Jane who puts in the 9 to 5 in the rat race, who comes up with a great idea for a product, would they know how to even get started? You can still be as successful working from home pursuing your product idea without having a big corporate office if you have the right tools.
There are many companies out there that offer invention submission services who claim they can take your idea and submit it to industry, but is this really the best option? No! if you had the road map the step by step guide or manual that walked you through each phase yourself wouldn't that be a better option?
Your not alone, there are so many people with great ideas or inventions that just go to waste, simply because they are too intimidated to go it themselves. The good news is there is an answer, do it yourself!
You can take the idea to the next level yourself and learn the process of taking an idea from concept stage to big retail stores. Learn how to contact a factory to have a working prototype made and establish a manufacturing cycle. Setup distribution points from your factory to your distributor, establish sales, know the ins and outs of logistics such as importing and exporting. now and get this valuable step by step walk through on how to get your product to retail.
Only a selected few inventions or ideas ever make it to market for one reason or another, some don't have the working capital or where to find the startup funds, others simply don't know anyone in China or how to even contact a manufacturing factory.
The Product To Retail EBook has the answers.
You could spend thousands of dollars with invention submission organizations, just to have a portfolio made to submit to potential retail buyers and customers. There is no guarantee of any success and you have no control over the process. If only you had the tools to take on the endeavour yourself, well now you do.
Have an idea? Did you come up with the next great product? Get this entrepreneurs must have guide and get started now.
