Ever since he was a shy boy, Don Fletcher has found himself thrust into the public spotlight through his work, his antics and his inventions…

Business Development Specialist, Lance Mastaler joins the podcast as a guest to talk all things product sales…

Ahhh, the trade show. The highlight and bane of the inventor. It’s a necessary thing to get through, and many a story has come out of a trade show experience… Don has a few!

A background as an artist isn’t critical to doing your own marketing, but knowing what looks right will help you a lot in dealing with marketing companies and designers. Don’s background happened to include a large dose of creativity, so he had a leg up on deciding how his product marketing should look.

What can one say about marketing? Well, quite a bit, it turns out! And it had better be!!! Marketing is how you get the word out to the masses. Making bold statements about your product. Creating eye-catching packaging. Promoting your work vociferously. These are all aspects of marketing that Don Fletcher knows well. In this episode, we talk about the importance of marketing your invention.

Have Broken Foot - Will Podcast! Hey everyone, we will be resuming the podcast recordings this Saturday evening - Come by and see why a broken foot can’t keep a good inventor down! Bonus draw for a Nice Trim Fit! sample pack…

And now that you have your prototype, your patent, some cash in the kitty and, hopefully, your sanity… It’s time to get your invention manufactured in order to send out samples and begin the process of warming up the market. Listen in as Don Fletcher talks about the trials and tribulations of the manufacturing process.

The law usually wins. Unless you can find a loophole or a time warp to propel to the next level. Either way, a lesson will be learned, and the show will go on ... Every thing you do will come back to help you!

The key to any invention is the patent. A legal process by nature, patent agents assist the inventor with the necessary paperwork, design information and applications. In this episode, Don talks about the process and how a patent works in the inventors favour.

As Don prepares for the 2020 HAC Conference in Toronto (Feb. 24-25), he takes time out to update us on the retail developments for Nice Trim Fit! and reveals the new marketing claims for silicone products…
