Winter is finally here and the weather is getting cold. Here is an invention that will keep you warm without missing a beat in our techy world.

This inventor from Springfield, Missouri invented a product that will allow you to continue using your cell phone while keeping your hands warm during those chilly outdoor activities and events. It's called the Toasty Texter. This invention works just like your typical hand m**f hand warmers, but it allows you to text, search on the Internet, play games, or whatever uses you have for your cell phone, without taking your hands out and exposing them to the cold air. The Toasty Texter is a pouch for your phone with slits in the inside for use of your thumbs. It can be used at sporting events, hunting, walks, on campus, or wherever you are outside! Now you can keep your phone at your fingertips (or your thumbtips) and your hands will stay warm! And even better, the inventor can make them in any print you like! So you can have camouflage, your favorite sports team, favorite color, fraternity/ sorority, favorite animals, and more! Watch the video to see this invention in action and share your thoughts!

Is Your Product Made for TV?
We all have seen those late night infomercials...BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE! BUY NOW, GET A SECOND SET FREE! Commercials and infomercials get inventors very excited once they have a working product ready to sell. Everyone wants their product to be on TV and thinks that is the best way to tell the world about their product and sell lots!

Unfortunately that is only somewhat true. Yes, TV is a great way to inform the world of a new product, but only if it's on national TV. TV is not necessarily the best outlet for selling any new product.

Direct Response TV companies are very picky about their choices when selecting a product to license and sell on TV. There are a few elements an invention needs to have before being considered for TV.

1. The product must solve a problem. The problem must be common enough to effect the majority of the population.

2. The product should save the consumer time.

3. The product should save the consumer money.

4. The product should make the consumer's life easier.

5. The product should save the consumer space.

6. The product should allow the consumer to use it throughout the year.

7. Usually the product can be used in many different ways by consumers of most ages.

8. The demographic of the product should contain mostly women.

If you cannot answer yes to most of the questions above then your product is probably not the best product for TV. But does that mean you don't have a good idea or product? No. It just means that your product probably won't be very successful in the DRTV world and needs to go down a different path for success.

If you can answer yes to most or all of the elements above, then your product may have a good chance to make it on TV. But wait...there's more! Now that you have all of the above elements in your product, you need to make sure your product has a good offer price.

A simple way to calculate an estimated price to sell your product would be multiplying the COG by 5. This means your COGs must be very low. If it costs you $6 to make your product, then you would have to sell it for $30 just to come out close to even after paying for distribution, manufacturing, call centers, infomercial, and media buy. The lower you can make your COGs, the better chance you have for your product to be wanted by a DRTV company and be successful on TV.

Other elements to consider for your invention for TV are the costs of media buy, infomercial, distribution, manufacturing, and call center. This could all amount at least $75,000, and that's just for the initial two week test. Most companies who sell their products on TV through infomercials are not necessarily looking to get rich from the TV sales, but using it as education for the consumer so when the product hits retail everyone wants it and is ready to buy it. Retail is where the inventor or company makes profit on the product.

So who has the brains and strategy to sell a product on TV and make it successful? We will discuss that answer next week! I will explain the creative process of the infomercial spot.

But if you have any questions or would like to learn more about your product being on TV, please do not hesitate to contact us. Visit our website, www.amazinginventions.com to learn more about our company and for contact information.

Good luck with your inventions!

INPEX Show Recap

Amazing Inventions had a very successful trip at the INPEX show in Pittsburgh last week. We saw many cool inventions and met with multiple inventors from around the world. Here are some products that made the best impression on us:

The Sleepyhead:
This product solves the problem of being able to sleep more comfortably while traveling. I don't know about you, but I can't ever find a good way to sleep while on the plane or in the car. I needed this on the way to the show! If you're one of those people who wakes themselves up by your head falling forward, then this is the product for you. Go to this link to see the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvw_DXp0KNE&feature=plcp

Jamboozee:
This is a weighted adult fitness hula-hoop. It combines kid fun and a cardio workout together in one hoop! These sisters have finally found a way for people to have fun while trying to lose weight. See for yourself!
http://jamboozee.com/

Holdaplate:
This invention is one smart idea! Being at a cocktail party can be difficult mingling with people while trying to juggle your hor d' oeuvres and drinks. The inventor of holdaplate has made this a very simple task. It's a plate with a lip for your thumb, allowing you to hold your cocktail plate and your drink with the same hand. This allows you to use your other hand to eat and talk to others at the party. They are currently working on their video and website so unfortunately I have nothing to show you for this product.

Solowheel
This product is truly Amazing! It is an electric, one-wheeled self-balancing transportation vehicle. It it like a segway without the top handle, just you and a wheel. It takes a little practice to get your balance, but it's worth the practice for a more efficient way of traveling! To take a look, go to this link: http://solowheel.com/.

The show was filled with people who are just starting out and need consulting on their next step for their invention. If you can relate to those inventors and say to yourself, "Ok I have this great idea, but what do I do now?" or just need an honest and trustworthy evaluation of your product, then go to our website (www.amazinginventions.com) to fill out the product submission form or give us a call today! You have the opportunity to start a long-term relationship with a company who can help you with the steps to get your product where you want it to be.
