Idea Design Studio Answers Some Top Questions on Prototyping
Idea Design Studio knows that new inventors have lots of questions regarding the process of building and selling an idea. Here are some of the top questions about prototypes, answered by the experts at Idea Design Studio. What are the first steps you should take? After assembling a team of people you trust, that includes Idea Design Studio, build a quick prototype for testing. Ask yourself questions like, do customers like it, is there a need for it, is the market big enough for it, and then adjust your prototype accordingly.
What are some pitfalls throughout the prototype process? How can I make it smoother? Idea Design Studio acknowledges that prototyping can take some time and while it is discouraging, it is crucial to take this time at the beginning to ensure a smooth process later on. Be sure to pay attention to the testing and implement the feedback into your prototype improvements. Is patenting my design or prototype easy? Preliminary patents are easy to file and may pay off, but don’t let a lack of patent stop you. Most inventions do not progress because people don’t spend enough time working on them, not because they don’t get a patent. Be sure to talk to the Idea Design Studio team and legal representatives when considering the patent process.
What are some affordable but cool ways to promote or market my product? Build relationships with people like reporters, bloggers, and influencers within your product category. If they are local to your area, that is even better. Start the relationship well before your launch, to start drumming up attention and media in preparation. These relationships are some of the most helpful in the industry. For more answers regarding any part of the invention process, contact Idea Design Studio today.
