Inventing New Products/Inventions - Product Modification

Expert: Maurice Duteau - 10/20/2009

Question
Hi....I have an idea. but its a modification to an exixting feminine product. I was wondering how i would go about getting my idea heard or developed so that i could maybe sell it to a corporation, etc. and what are the steps in developing it??

Answer
Well, you're right at the end of your question there that you need to develop the idea. Get some drawings, plans, specs, market estiamtes together. Get a feel for the industry by hitting a trade show. Talk to people in the industry and get feedback..... if you can market it yourself find a customer willing to place a deposit on an initial order and use that money to fund production. Its a long grind. Dont spend too much money on developing the idea till you know you can sell it.
