Do what you enjoy - don't just chase $$$ If you're unhappy, you won't have the energy to continue Licensing or manufacturing? Licensing is much less risk Unclear which is more profitable Sometimes nobody wants to license Don t ignore manufacturing then licensing $|  Licensing 2 or, "Why are those crooks offering me so little?"&31(# License TermsbWhat rights are you licensing? Exclusive / non-exclusive Royalty rate Annual minimum Escape clause$cU   Value orderA product with a strong sales history A product that is actually being sold A product that it ready to ship A product that is in first production A finished prototype A functional prototype Used dishwater A fantastic idea  Patents Do you really need or want one? The answer is not always obvious. Patents are quite expensive to obtain: legal fees, filing fee, issue fee Patents require payment of maintenance fees Patents take about 2 years to issue(CB PatentsMany patents are easily circumvented Unless your value is in the brilliant invention rather than in its brilliant execution, the answer is probably no. However: you can use Patent Disclosure, PPA, and filing without issue to buy time at comparatively low cost  ManufacturingEconomies of scale are critical Good artwork is no more expensive to print than bad artwork Spend money/time up front When shopping for manufacturing, stop thinking like a consumer    ManufacturingMurphy's law: everything that can go wrong, will go wrong Andy's law: everything will go wrong (at least slightly) Check like a hawk at every step Control as much of the process as is worthwhile < .  Home-based manufacturingZOften lower quality at higher cost Very difficult to succeed this way (except for artists)Product TestingDon't use your friends/relatives - they can't give an honest opinion Unless you plan to ship yourself with each copy of the product, hand it to the tester and stand back - say nothing. When they ask you a question, ask them "what do you think?" J< <# PackagingOYour most critical component That's what people see in the store Hire an artist%!Typical product costs Customer buys product for $19.95 Retailer buys product for $10.00 Distributor buys product for $8.50 Publisher manufactures product for $5.00 Don't forget reps, advertising, etc. You must produce your product for 1/4 to 1/5 of what consumers will pay  Perceived ValueConsumer should feel that they are getting value for their money Big: consumer likes this, retailer doesn't (takes shelf space) Heavy: consumer like this, retailer tolerates it (higher freight costs)DA<B  AdvertisingDoes it really work? You need 1000's of ads for an order You need repetition before people will remember you (some say 7 times) 6kk  AdvertisingThe Internet as a source of info, it's the best thing since sliced bread The great equalizer - NOT! unless you're Microsoft, it's a "pull" medium Face-to-face selling far and away the most likely for a sale (call first!)  <.6 <. *Find Novel Things to DojLook for novel ways to sell Look for novel things to do Look for free/inexpensive ways to do things better  Chain StoressMuch tougher to get into than small stores But - convince one (tough) buyer, sell to 100's of stores all at once &t+F Chain stores+ Lots of customers + Much bigger orders - Usually demand a price break - Not interested in pioneering anything - want proven sales - Often demand return privilege and datingf;+ Small Stores+ More willing to try a new product (if not avail at K-Mart!) + Willing to try "local" product to help fellow small business - Usually tiny order + Able to steer customers toward your product + Can result in a more targeted customer, esp. at high end f=>-;Competing with existing brandsKWhy should the consumer buy yours? Why should retailer carry your product? LJ"Learning About Your IndustryvEvery industry has a "way they do things". Try and learn it. Your customers will usually want to do them the same way.wvTrade MagazinesA great source of information. Very often FREE, otherwise fairly inexpensive. Ads are the most useful part for learning about the industry. First issue - read every word. Other issues - skim it.  Trade ShowsAttending - often free to attend & you'll learn alot Exhibiting - quite expensive & be sure you can deliver product/service immediately - buyers are not interested in "later" Attend before you choose to exhibit Follow-up is everything <0 Appear ProfessionalBusiness cards, stationery, 800 numbers Try to appear much larger than you are It helps to appear like a serious player with both customers and suppliers, but it's much more important with customers  Web Sitesnwww.enginuity.com www.aol.com/members/enginuity.htm andy@enginuity.com andy123@freemail.net need I say more?0^^Your Home OfficeSeparate business and fax lines (not a home line) Fax machine Letterhead Business cards Separate checking account Answering machine in business voice Laser printer  EfficiencyDevelop your systems Try to group your work - it's very inefficient to switch tasks constantly Develop your relationships with vendors - once it works, it's trouble-free Use your computer to manage tasks Phone calls"Hello, this is John/Mary Smith of Incredibly Successful Inc.
