Have you ever gone to a product pitch meeting with a less than perfect prototype? Did you ever have an excellent concept fall flat because a prototype failed to capture the hearts of your audience?

In order to present your toy product to potential investors, buyers, or licensors, you will first need to produce a prototype. The quality of the prototype you present is going to have a direct effect on the perceived value of your product. It's important that the quality of your prototype adequately reflects the suggested retail price for you item.

You don't want to find yourself in a meeting with a poorly made prototype that does not speak to your audience. If you don't currently have a resource list of sample makers, then this is the perfect episode for you. In this episode, The Toy Coach breaks down a step by step process to help you find, vet, and hire your perfect sample maker for plush, paper, and plastic products. You will also be introduced to an online resource for quickly printing high quality 3D prototypes.

Whether you have a final design and spec sheet already to go, or if you're still trying to finalize some design elements, this episode is full of useful and actionable information to get you moving in the right direction. Ready to dive in?
