Answer 1

i am about to sleep so if i see u again i will elaborate much more:

use word of mouth in your neighborhood and at workplace.

print simple flyers (bright colored paper, ahhhh i'm too tired to add like 50 tips!! sorry)

then try postcards. eye catching, basic stuff

then run an ad.... not like new york times or los angeles times... a smaller publication to test the waters.

---- always give them more than one way to contact u for info. some ppl don't like to call, some like email, some wanna see the website first, and some will plain call u right off the bat!

the good thing is (if u didn't know), the more steps they complete to talk to u or get info, the more predisposed to buying they become, because when a person takes steps and does things ie goto website, send an email, leave a voice mail... they are psychologically more open to buying cuz they have jumped 'hurdles' to get there.... so now their mind says... 'we cant stop now' in a sense... ahhh sorry fallin asleep.


a good magazine or newpaper would be something with readers that would be interested in your product....

Answer 2

First of all, Never i mean never!!!!!!! tell anyone your ideas without a patent on it first, simply because someone that's knows a little more about getting things done can steal your idea/invention and claim it as their own. when you do get the patent you can call diffrent stores in your area and ask them if they would be interrested in selling your product, or you could start an online sale of the product. Hope This helps you.
