**Are you looking to launch your product or invention? If so, trade shows can be a great way to get your product in front of buyers and retailers, or even find a manufacturer to license your invention and earn royalties.
For our July NIC meeting we will be hosting the president of one of the largest trade shows in North America, The Inspired Home Show, Derek Miller, who will share his secrets to success for inventors. He will discuss how to find the right trade shows for your product, how to meet with buyers and retailers, and how to make the most of your trade show experience.
This free livestreaming National Inventor Club meeting is a must-watch for any inventor who is serious about launching their product. You will learn everything you need to know about attending trade shows and how to use them to your advantage.
Here are some of the topics that will be covered in our meeting:
The importance of trade shows for inventors
How to find the right trade shows for your product
How to meet with buyers and retailers at trade shows
How to make the most of your trade show experience
A case study of the Inspired Home Show, a major trade show for the housewares industry
How to find a manufacturer to license your invention and earn royalties
If you’re an inventor with a new product, then this event is for you. Register today and learn how to use trade shows to launch your product, reach your target market, and earn royalties from your invention.
In addition to finding buyers and retailers, trade shows can also be a great way to find a manufacturer to license your invention. Many manufacturers are looking for new products to license, and they often attend trade shows to find them. If you have a patent-pending invention, you can bring your prototype to a trade show and show it to potential manufacturers. If they are interested in your invention, they may be willing to license it from you. This can be a great way to earn royalties from your invention without having to manufacture or distribute it yourself.
