Once a month, we have a meeting with a presentation about something invention related. Sometimes it's the creative part, like how someone came up with an idea. Sometimes it's the legal parts, like protection, patents, trademark, & licensing. Manufacturing comes up a lot, and so does marketing. We always enjoy our speakers, and we always learn from them. Questions are always encouraged, and our speakers share insights you can't get anywhere else. Before the meeting, you can visit with other inventors. New faces are always welcome, and if you have questions about invention or patents or marketing or ... there are usually members who can help guide you.

Speaker:
Bill Seidel

Topic:
Think Marketing vs. Do Marketing

Marketing is the biggest stumbling block for inventors. Bill will be speaking from his invention and product development experience on how he discovered that it wasn’t the product that failed but the marketing that failed. Great products can be unsuccessful in the marketplace while poor products can succeed. It all has to do with the use of effective marketing principles.

Bill is an author, entrepreneur, innovator, educator, and an expert witness on the marketing of innovation. He held Vice President positions with some of the greatest entrepreneurs, leading innovators and bestselling authors of our time.

He changed home monitoring with the first baby monitor, improved food storage with the marketing of the FoodSaver, revolutionized the soil industry with microbial inoculants and has products in the Ford Museum of Innovation and the Smithsonian.

He owns America Invents, a development, licensing and marketing company and is a syndicated columnist. From toys and games to revolutionary innovations, he fostered billions of dollars in sales.

“Think Marketing” is his syndicated column: https://inventorsdigest.com/think-marketing/

”Successful Inventing” is his current USPTO podcast: https://tinyurl.com/48ctsn5s

"Licensing Myths & Mastery: Why Most Ideas Don’t Work and What to Do About It" has five star reviews on Amazon, published by Business Expert Press.
