Billy Mays' Kaboom is out...Edison Nation is now calling for the next great "As Seen On TV" products from everyday people
Open innovation portal Edison Nation teams up with leaders in the Direct Results Television (DRTV) Industry to help uncover the next great infomercial product to sweep the nation
CHARLOTTE, NC, May 08, 2009 /Television PR News/ -- Discovery Channel's Pitchmen Billy Mays and Anthony Sullivan are not the only ones looking for money-making As Seen On TV products. Some of most successful names in the DRTV industry are partnering with Edison Nation to prove the best is yet to come.
Now through June 30, 2009, the same producers of some of DRTV's most renowned products, including the Snuggie, Billy Mays' Big City Slider Station, Debbie Meyer Green Bags, Topsy Turvy Tomato Planter, Bendaroos, Floam, Smart Spin, Pasta Pro, Grip 'n Flip, Awesome Auger, Mighty Putty and more, are asking everyday people to submit their own ideas for the next great DRTV product with a Live Product Search query issued through Edison Nation (www.EdisonNation.com).
Edison Nation coordinates Live Product Searches with major national retailers and manufacturers to issue timely calls for new product innovation. Edison Nation's Web 2.0 format allows individuals to submit their intellectual property into a safe landing platform with the potential to make money on their great ideas, if selected.
"We're seeing more people turning to inventing and entrepreneurial pursuits in the face of ongoing downsizing and disillusion with traditional 9-5 jobs," said Mike Drummond, editor-in-chief of Inventors Digest Magazine, the leading publication for professional and independent innovators. "Combining the reach of As Seen On TV with Edison Nation's proven track record is a smart partnership for innovators."
Individuals whose ideas are selected for any product search hosted through Edison Nation receive a $2,500 advance payment and a generous percentage of product sales for up to 20 years. There is no limit to the number of ideas that may be selected for each search.
Edison Nation's As Seen on TV Live Product Search especially presents an opportunity for lucrative financial rewards to those whose product concepts are selected. Even in the midst of the current economic recession, the world of DRTV continues to grow, grossing $24 billion a year with more than 63% of Americans tuning in to DRTV advertising.
The fee to enter is $25, which covers Edison Nation's screening process. For more details on the As Seen On TV Live Product Search and other opportunities available through Edison Nation, visit their Web site, www.EdisonNation.com.
