Have you ever had an idea for a new gadget or product and wondered
what to do with it? Knowing where to begin and how to proceed can
be bewildering and even intimidating, can't it? After reading Take
Your Idea to the Marketplace: What Every Aspiring Entrepreneur
Should Know to Avoid Costly Mistakes, much of that doubt and
apprehension will be dispelled. You'll know what to expect as you
develop your idea into a marketable product. You'll learn how to: -
Read a patent - Save money by making a joint venture - Price a
product for a sustainable profit - Set up your company -
Communicate with overseas suppliers - Sell on QVC and the Internet
- Avoid the common pitfalls of advertising - Plus tips on many
other subjects The book is unique because the author not only walks
you through the steps you must take to develop your idea, but he
also relates his personal experiences in turning his own invention
into a popular seller. You'll learn what costs are associated with
developing a product. The author lays out the actual expenses
related to each step he took, so you'll come away with an idea of
what your cost may be. Exhibits are included throughout to
illustrate the steps with concrete examples. Having an idea doesn't
make you an entrepreneur, but if you read this book you'll
significantly increase your chances of becoming a successful player
in the global marketplace. ROBERT HANNA holds a BS degree in
