Leardon Solutions Product Development, Joe Donoghue, San DiegoGetting Product To Market With DRTV models like HSN and QVC

You have worked hard developing several prototypes and nurturing your product into reality.  Now it’s time for the equally challenging task of getting your product to market and selling enough to at least beat the odds that society has placed against you as an inventor and entrepreneur. If you are determined to make money on your brain child, you’ll need to explore a lot of opportunities available to you.

There’s trade shows, magazines, and the internet but what about DRTV? (Direct Response Television ) think QVC and HSN. For the right product, these powerhouses offer the opportunity to get your product sold and quick.

Joe Donoghue and Eric Hanscom took questions from the community of inventors and entrepreneurs and asked Marcy McKenna, an inventor and HSN seasoned pro these questions on the live monthly web show “Patents & Prototypes“. Below is the interview, it’s about 30 minutes long and full of great information that will help you determine if you should submit your product for review to a DRTV solution like HSN or QVC.
