10 Mistakes Inventors Make (Post 3 of 10)
Mistake #3: Believing in Promotion Company Hype
For the past couple weeks our blog has been dedicated to helping you avoid the pitfalls of new inventors. This week we present another "mistake" and how you can avoid it. The designers and engineers at frethot have over 11 years experience and are available to work with you every step of the way to make a successful product. Feel free to visit our website to view our portfolio, or contact us to get started on your latest project.
An inventor can try to sell or license their invention to a manufacturer that would market it and pay royalties. Finding such a manufacturer can be overwhelming and extremely time consuming. Because of these difficulties many inventors fall victim to the flashy advertising of an invention or patent promotion firm.
Promotion companies often offer a "One Size Fits All" type of service. As an inventor you're aware that all ideas do not fit the same mold. This can be the biggest problem with promotion companies, because they do not take individualized time with your product they are often unsuccessful.
These companies offer bogus research in exchange for high fees and rarely produce any results or hard goods. Do your research on any company before doing business with them.
As an alternative the members of frethot are available to work with you and provide several competitive options for prototyping and manufacturing your invention. Over the years we have built strong relationships with local and international vendors. In addition we are local and you can speak with one of our designers or engineers in person. If you have any questions regarding the content of this blog or need assistance with the design, engineering, specifying for manufacturing, graphic design, packaging design, prototyping, or manufacturing of your product, please visit our website at www.frethot.com.
