Dear Inventor -

URGENT: I have an important announcement for you:

I received a call from a DRTV company that is looking to acquire a few new products that meet the following criteria. If your invention qualifies, you can submit it to me directly BY E-MAIL ONLY. Please see below for directions.

-- UNIQUE – Most people would view the product as new and different
-- MASS MARKET – The product should appeal to the majority of TV buyers
-- SOLVES A PROBLEM – The product solves an everyday problem
-- PRICED RIGHT – The product should ideally be able to be priced at $20 or less including a 5 times markup ($1 – $4 cost of goods for a product is the norm). With this pricing, the product must still retain a high perceived value versus its price.
-- EASILY EXPLAINED – The product can be demonstrated and the viewer can understand what it does typically in just 10 seconds.
-- AGE APPROPRIATE – The product should typically appeal to people over the age of 50 (at a minimum it should not exclude this group)
-- CREDIBLE – Most people must believe it works as advertised.
-- EXPANSION POTENTIAL – The product has a better chance of being a hit if it has retail distribution potential, product line extension potential, continuity revenue potential, and natural product upsells and crosssells.
And that falls into one of these categories:

* Kitchen Products (Choppers, Slicers, Storage, Pans, Knives, Gadgets, etc.)
* Bathroom Products (Hands-free Dispensers, Electric Toothbrushes, Faucet Fountain, etc.)
* Beauty & Personal Care (Hair Removal, Pedicure, Hair Accessories, Wraps, etc.)
* Housewares (Floor Care, Organizers & Storage, Reachers, Microwave Products, etc.)
* Home Improvement (Painting Products, Tools, D.I.Y. Solutions, etc.)
* Pet Products (Brushes, Nail Clippers, Feeding Solutions, Litter Solutions, Cleaners, etc.)
* Accessories (Sunglasses, Purse Organizers, Gadgets, etc.)
* Fitness (Ab Products, Push-up/Pull-up Products, Workout Solutions, etc.)
* Lawn & Garden (Growing Solutions, Tools, Watering Solutions, etc.)
* Elderly Products (Sound Amplifiers, Mobility Products, Medical Alarms & Pendants, etc.)

THE PRODUCT MUST BE READY FOR RETAIL (meaning that if your product is in prototype stage, then it’s not ready).

Here’s how to submit your product to me, if it meets the above criteria:

Send me an e-mail with either of the following info:

* 1. Your web site address, and your contact info. I can make an initial decision from your website. If more info is needed, I will let you know.

OR

* 2. A description, including pictures, and your contact info. If you have a picture of the packaging, please include that.

Here’s what you will get from me within 48 hours:

* Either an “I’m going to submit this to my client” response via e-mail

OR

* a “Sorry, but it doesn’t fit” response via e-mail.

Either way, you will know within 48 hours.

* Your contact info should include: Full name, e-mail address, mailing address and phone number. Thanks!

Best Regards, Paul Niemann

==========================================

-- "If not you, who?" -- I asked this question in an earlier topic. I am still waiting for my answer. And maybe it will come to me?

-- What I am insinuating is that it is YOU, the ever-so-often tinkerer that makes that leap of progress that moves ahead our real world.

-- Your inner sense is that you think you have found a need and are trying to fill it.

-- You invent a solution to a vexing problem and not the other way around - i.e., creating a problem that needs repairing.

-- You think - you ponder - you resolve - you inact. You fine-tune until it is perfect for that moment. - And later, someone else may improve upon your improvement? - That is growth.

-- Congress, too, should try to keep our valued patent system 'only' fine-tuned. It does not need radical changes that defeat the sole purpose of our patent system. They should know:
-- "The first arguement is based on a misconception that the patent system exists to cut a special break for companies that manufacture products. The fact is that the patent system exists to protect and encourage inventions, not products.

-- Products are protected by ordinary commercial law, and the economic incentive to create and sell products is immediate and obvious - the profit that flow from product sale. In sharp contrast, there is no economic incentive for an inventor if others can take and use his invention without justice. The patent system exists to address this by acknowledging the constitutionality guaranteed exclusive right that inventors have in their inventions. This "exclusive right" is meaningless if in most circumstances inventors cannot have ownership in their inventions including the right to exclude others." -- Nathan P. Myhrvold

-- It is about YOU that Mr. Myhrvold is speaking, defending you in Congress. - Write your Congressman, today, to uphold our "First to Invent" Patent System. - "If not you, who?"

-- "Inventors Digest - The Invention Magazine for Idea People" --

-- "Amazon.com: Forbes? Greatest Technology Stories: Inspiring Tales of the Entrepreneurs and Inventors Who Revolutionized Modern Business: Books: Jeffrey S. Young" --

-- "I'll tell you one thing, if things keep going the way they are, it's going to be impossible to buy a week's groceries for $20." "Have you seen the new cars coming out next year? It won't be long before $5000 will only buy a used one." "If cigarettes keep going up in price, I'm going to quit. A quarter a pack is ridiculous." "Did you hear the post office is thinking about charging a dime just to mail a letter?" "If they raise the minimum wage to $1, nobody will be able to hire outside help at the store." "When I first started driving, who would have thought gas would someday cost 29 cents a gallon. Guess we'd be better off leaving the car in the garage." "Kids today are impossible. Those duck tail hair cuts make it impossible to stay groomed. Next thing you know, boys will be wearing their hair as long as the girls." "I'm afraid to send my kids to the movies any more. Ever since they let Clark Gable get by with saying 'damn' in 'Gone With The Wind,' it seems every new movie has either "hell" or "damn" in it. "I read the other day where some scientist thinks it's possible to put a man on the moon by the end of the century. They even have some fellows they call astronauts preparing for it down in Texas."

-- "Those who do not remember the past are condemed to repeat it." --

-- Thought of the day --
-- "One of the greatest discoveries a man makes, one of his great surprises, is to find he can do what he was afraid he couldn't do." -- Henry Ford 1863-1947, Founder of Ford Motor Company

A pat on the back is only a few centimeters from a kick in the butt.

Don't be irreplaceable, if you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted.

It doesn't matter what you do, it only matters what you say you've done and what you're going to do.

After any salary raise, you will have less money at the end of the month than you did before.

The more crap you put up with, the more crap you are going to get.

You can go anywhere you want if you look serious and carry a clipboard.

Eat one live toad the first thing in the morning and nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day.

When the bosses talk about improving productivity, they are never talking about themselves.

If at first you don't succeed, try again. Then quit. No use being a damn fool about it.

There will always be beer cans rolling on the floor of your car when the boss asks for a ride home from the office.

Keep your boss's boss off your boss's back.

Everything can be filed under "miscellaneous."

Never delay the ending of a meeting or the beginning of a cocktail hour.

To err is human, to forgive is not our policy.

Anyone can do any amount of work provided it isn't the work he / she is supposed to be doing.

Important letters that contain no errors will develop errors in the mail.

If you are good, you will be assigned all the work. If you are really good, you will get out of it. People who go to conferences are the ones who shouldn't..

If it wasn't for the last minute, nothing would get done.

At work, the authority of a person is inversely proportional to the number of pens that person is carrying.

When you don't know what to do, walk fast and look worried.

Following the rules will not get the job done.

Getting the job done is no excuse for not following the rules.

When confronted by a difficult problem you can solve it more easily by reducing it to the question, "How would the Lone Ranger handle this?"

No matter how much you do, you never do enough.

The last person that quit or was fired will be held responsible for everything that goes wrong.

Thank you. We're all refreshed and challenged by your unique point of view.

The fact that no one understands you doesn't mean you're an artist.

I don't know what your problem is, but I'll bet it's hard to pronounce.

Any connection between your reality and mine is purely coincidental.

I have plenty of talent and vision. I just don't give a damn.

I like you. You remind me of when I was young and stupid.

What am I? Flypaper for freaks?

I'm not being rude. You're just insignificant.

I'm already visualizing the duct tape over your mouth

I will always cherish the initial misconceptions I had about you.

It's a thankless job, but I've got a lot of karma to burn off.

Yes, I am an agent of Satan, but my duties are largely ceremonial.

No, my powers can only be used for good.

How about never? Is never good for you?

I'm really easy to get along with once you people learn to worship me.

You sound reasonable. Time to up my medication.

I'll try being nicer if you'll try being smarter.

I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message.

I don't work here. I'm a consultant.

Who me? I just wander from room to room.

It might look like I'm doing nothing, but at the cellular level, I'm really quite busy.

At least I have a positive attitude about my destructive habits.

You are validating my inherent mistrust of strangers.

I see you've set aside this special time to humiliate yourself in public.
