....it's ONE THING to create the "product" and it's another to MARKET IT!

Years ago, when my kids were toddlers and feeding time was a ZOO with food all over the place...I designed a plastic BIB...with a trough at the bottom to catch the debris.

My wife and I kept "talking" about it until, one day, she told me to also..."Do Something About This or Forget it!"

So...I went to a plastic company and paid them $5,000 for a mold (it's $25,000 now)....had 100 made and went off to the world of retail stores.

After getting knocked around and bloodied I sold the mold and rights for $10,000 to a small company who had a few baby products in their line.

These people went on to sell over 100,000 of "my" Bibs the first year and a few hundred thousand after that. It became known as "The Pelican Bib".

BUT...THEY had the "marketing moxey".

If I had ONLY....! Ah well. Chalk it up to experience and hindsite.

With your "doll" be careful of those who will tell you "they" can get your doll into the hands of X Retailers....or other dribble. Be carefull of what Agreements you sign. There MANY shysters out there.
