| Can Your Product Realistically Succeed? |
| |
I was recently talking with an inventor friend of
mine who was telling me about a garage sale (or yard
sale for those outside the Midwest) he went to. He
saw some interesting looking orange traffic cones.
He found out that these cones were invented by the
owner of the house and he was selling them at his
garage sale because he couldn't sell them or license
them to any company. The cone had a complicated
mechanism that whenever the cone fell over, it would
automatically right itself again. It also had a
light on the top of it to make it more visible to
drivers. These are definitely improvements on the
traffic cone, but then why had the inventor resorted
to selling these cones with the rest of his old
clothes and books? The answer is simple: his
product could never realistically succeed.
How can you tell if your product will succeed? I
don't believe anyone can tell you if your product
will succeed, but I do believe it is fairly easy to
tell if you product will not succeed.

| Question for Don |
| |
Don,
I am looking to be an Outsource Entrepreneur but I
am not sure what are some good indicators for which
potential marketing partners would be receptive for
a deal. Do you have any suggestions?

| Fear Factor Packaging |
| |
By JoAnn Hines - The Packaging Diva
I'm getting really nervous with the daily security
threats that abound in the news. People forget that
packaging has an important role to play in helping
keep our products safe for consumption. Remember the
Tylenol packaging incident? Many packaging
applications, such as the tamper evident seal and
the shrink wrap band, were invented as a result of
that incident. Frighteningly,
a major concern should be our food supply. One
bio-terrorism incident in our food supply could be a
thousand times more deadly than 9/11.
