Greetings!

This is our second issue in our series on prototypes. In this issue we discuss making your own looks like, acts like prototype.

We also have an article about outsourcing product development, which is the other side to making your own prototypes. Make sure to read both of these articles as well as our new inventor story and the Packaging Diva's article on packaging for women.

Making Your Prototype ? Part 2
 
Do it yourself looks like, acts like prototypes

Prototypes go through many stages and sometimes you will only realize at the end that you need to fundamentally change your product and start over. But this process is very helpful and worthwhile so you can get the best product out on the market with the best manufacturing processes giving you the lowest costs and highest profits.

In this article we will cover some low cost ways to create parts for your product that should closely resemble your final product, both in terms of materials and processes.


Inventor Story: Skip Couvillion
 

Skip Couvillion is a life-long hunter. When using motorized duck decoys, he would get frustrated because as the motor spun the wings, the screws holding the wings would slowly back out and he would lose the wing in the water. He talked with other hunters and it was always the story, so he decided to find a solution.


Big Savings on Product Development
 
Using outsourcing to keep prices down

When inventors have a great idea that is technologically out of their reach, they can quickly give up, but there are actually many options left open to them to pursue their idea. If an inventor has sufficient funding, it is not difficult to hire out the product development. Unfortunately, most inventors are underfinanced, usually greatly underfinanced, but there is still hope even for the most underfinanced inventor.


Wooing Women With Packaging
 
by JoAnn Hines Packaging Diva

Women either make or influence 85% of the purchasing decision and companies are finally waking up to that fact. Unfortunately, just taking the man off the box and replacing it with a woman isn't the answer. Nor is it to use pink packaging or other feminine colors.



Thanks for reading!
