Independent Inventor's Guide to
Getting Your Products into the Big Box Retailers... NOW!
Brian R. Rayve Hi, I am Brian R. Rayve, a former product development manager, patent attorney, and owner of the Invention Patenting Group.

I founded this website especially to help inventors like you protect and profit from your inventions.

I have talked to many independent inventors and other entrepreneurs who want to get their new products into the "Big Box Retailers" such as Wal-Mart, Costco, Home Depot, K-Mart, PETCO, Sears, and others but have no idea how to do so.

Well, I have done all of the footwork up-front to write this audio CD and corresponding fill-in workbook that explains how you can get your products into the big box retailers.

After listening to this CD, you will know the following:
1. The basics of big box retailing:
  • the 5 critial items big box retailers are looking for in companies they choose as suppliers;
  • determining your readiness to make the leap to multi-store retail sales with the big box retailers;
  • making sure that you can make a reasonable profit margin selling your products to retailers in the highly price competitive venue of big box retailers;
  • whether to sell your product directly to the retailer or license it to a manufacturer who will distribute it for you;
  • determining what about your product will make a buyer take a chance on your product;
  • how to handle production volume if you land a deal;
  • raising the capital needed to fund retailer purchases;
  • meeting production and delivery lead time deadlines; and
  • labor law and product safety compliance issues.
