During the last few months I've been busy preparing our site for the next step. The next step is marketing. Four products from this site have been chosen as preliminary examples of the type of new inventions we have available. The feedback was positive. Now we're in the process of becoming certified suppliers to several national outlets. This is very time consuming and requires much patience. I will give more updates as details and opportunities become clearer. Mr. Idea http://www.ideanextstep.com/news.php?news_id=88 Sat, 04 Apr 2009 21:31:59 PDT http://www.ideanextstep.com/news.php?news_id=88 Hello Members, Are you ready for the next step? Dear Members, We've had 14 very successful invention contest. However, do to input from you we will convert our site from focusing on the Inventors contest to focusing on the marketing of your products. The contest will be terminated until further notice while we ramp up our marketing efforts. Currently there are four products from this site that are being reviewed by major retailers. I will keep you posted. Please continue to post your inventions and use all the available resources and tools on this site. (Webpages, Video upload, Photo upload, Invention advertisement, Inventor resources, etc, etc.) We will make every effort to market certain inventions that are of interest to retailers and manufacturers. This is a major site adjustment and we can't succeed without your support. Ultimately every inventor is searching for a medium to promote and market their product. It is our hope that the changes we're making will be more inline with the optimum goal of the inventor community. www.ideanextstep.com...Are you ready for the next step? http://www.ideanextstep.com/news.php?news_id=87 Mon, 15 Dec 2008 20:26:28 PST http://www.ideanextstep.com/news.php?news_id=87 Hello Members, Are you ready for the next step?
