Topic: How to Launch a Product: Trade Shows, Prototypes & The 10-Second Pitch
About this episode
In this episode of Invent America Podcasts, hosts Michael King and America's Inventor Lady" Rita Crompton dive deep into the reality of taking a product from a sketch to the store shelf. We explore why hitting the road for professional trade shows like ASD Market Week can be more valuable than thousands of dollars in online market research.
In this episode, you will learn:
--The "Show Off" Strategy: Why you only have 5 seconds to grab a buyer's attention and how to master the "elevator pitch".
-- Real Inventor Stories: Meet Terry LaFranchi, who turned a football viewing moment into a unique cap design, and Sam Spironi, a project engineer who invented "Slice Away" after a frustrating dorm room pizza experience.
-- Branding Mastery: Industry expert Carol Sprunk explains why storytelling is the difference between a product that sits on a shelf and one that sells.
Featured Guests:
-- Terry LaFranchi (Inventor, Football Cap)
-- Sam Spironi (Founder, Slice Away)
-- Carol Sprunk (Branding & Industry Expert)
Key Takeaway: "Don't spend a dime before it's time." Learn when to step up to the plate and invest in your big idea.
