Hey everyone, this is a great fairly recent audio interview with a Skymall executive about their markets and products. Got my creative juices flowing and I’m ready to creat a new submission!

No problem. I don’t know that they post a Q&A for all the searches, but I can recall Irwin, Ban Dai and Shat-R-Shield to name a few.
Good luck everyone!

Thanks Ringo for the Q & A..I never knew they posted that…lol Do they do that for all the searches??

Whew !!! Good Andrea, It looks like you have mastered the perfect system …. Great going, we’re always rooting for you!!

Your Welcome Jim … It’s nice to see you floated here to the other side of the pond, " Where the living is easy and the fish are jumping"..

Thanks Patricia. I made that avatar up because I thought it was cute and funny, it also looks better than my real profile pic! LOL. I know several folks in here already from other sites and it just took me awhile to venture over to EN, I am glad I did. I have learned so much from lots of these folks. I have been inventing things my whole life but never had any avenue open to carry the ideas forward. So all of my napkin drawings and hours spent bring my family to tears, so it is so great to have a place like this to invent and possibly make an idea come to life! Happy inventing!!

Wow Thanks Chris … Round 2 and already were seeing some great numbers come in … Andrea you are a " inventing machine" that is awesome I love your enthusiasm and get go on all these. Do you ever sleep? haha

Welcome Jim, I love your Avatar too… it is way too cute… and yes, why didn’t I think of that, I say it everyday! Good luck in the searches and already it looks like your getting your feet wet here. It’s an amazing group of people .. I love love it here and with hugs enough to go around it’s a very warm and cozy group!

Amy you crack me up ….I was just waiting till you fell into the bucket with the rest of us mildly to moderate to highly addicted here haha …. its a lovely addiction Michael I agree plus the friendships, bonds, thrill and motivation that comes form hanging out with each other makes the mix all truly magical .. were hooked all us !! haha Oh yes, Thanks for the Q & A link, very helpful.

Ryan welcome to EN, glad to have you aboard … just hang in there, now that the search has ended you will see more movement. Watch the threads they are the best indicator of what’s up ahead, good luck !!

LOL Coming from a Dava!!

2 Divas=Disater….just saying. :)
Good Luck all! I wish Skymall was more focused to certain products.

So true! Helps to get other perspectives and exchange innovative ideas on a product….

Hey Andrea! Working in a group is very fun! Brainstorming can bring out some wild ideas! It’s really nice having other people to bounce ideas off of.

Jim and I and a few others are teaming up on a few, it’s been so much fun working together…you all should think of bringing a group together too! Hey Jim!

Thanks Betsy, the picture reflects how I feel sometimes when I see a really great innovative idea! Eric good to see you here as well. Thanks for the props! I wasn’t quite sure if I had the caliber of ideas to submit here, so i am still learning the ropes. Glad for all the tips I have picked up and really appreciate the help and info i have received from other inventors/mentors. This IS THE place to be if you really want to see your ideas have a chance at the big time! Betsy I have to say the Eggies story from start to shelf has been an inspiration to many many folks! Congrats and thanks again for the warm welcome!

What is the time frame for products to get chosen in the Sky Mall Challenge as the last day for submissions was 1/9/2012. My idea has been on Initial IP Review stage since early October LoL and I submitted it in September.

Hey Jim, I’ve seen quite a few of your ideas on GC and from what I’ve seen I think you’ll do real well here! Welcome aboard….about time you crossed over! HAHA

Great Avatar pic Jim!!! Love it!

Thanks Margaret!!

Congrats on the first submission Jim! Welcome!

Great finally submitted my first idea on EN to the Skymall Challenge! Very excited to see what happens!!

Thanks Toni!

Wow Margo that’s great news. I love when I come up with a new idea. Hope it goes to G8 for you. You are overdue for a hit. Good Luck!

After what has seemed like a very long slump, I have finally come up with a new idea. G1!

Mike, thanks for posting the q & a…as a newbie here, I didn’t even know these existed! Gold!

LOL Amy!

Laura, here’s the Q and A for this one…hope it helps; http://blog.edisonnation.com/2011/12/02/q-a-wit...

Hey Chris,
any idea of what they want to focus on this time? I know last round it was home and electronics

Thanks,
Laura

perfect, ran out of time last round!

That is GREAT NEWS….funny thing, I always manage to think of something when the serach closes…lol

Mike – that is exactly what I was thinking… very hard to focus on the day job with so many opportunities and ideas!

Chris, thanks for the update!!!

At this rate I’m going to have to quit my day job…well, maybe not just yet…haha! Thanks Chris!

Thank you very much! Now my mind is going to buzzing when I should be sleeping!

Great news! I might have some to add for the next round.

Great! I will submit another product in Round 2

thanks Chris. I have about 3 more I wanted to enter. This buys time to do touch ups

That is VERY exciting!

Andrea – 20 !?!? You are a machine!!!! Good luck - I have 2 so far :)

wow, I just posted 6 more to equal 20 submissions!! LOL

Thanks Chris! Great opportunities for all of us…I can feel that 2012 is going to be big (I hope the Mayans are wrong).
