Ooooh! NICE! Thank you!!

Go to InventorsDigest.com. Click the link on the left hand side “Resources”, then click on “Inventor Friendly Companies”

Does anyone know of any reputable baby product companies that accept new ideas?

LOL! Thanks for all the positive well wishes. You guys rock! I am on to my next submission in the hopes that it will be well received. Good luck to you all and keep submitting and dreaming!

Blech!
EDIT…I better clarify…they was simply my knee-jerk reaction to all the r8’s. Whew! Ouch!

Tracey,
If you have a Culvers near you, and you like “stuff” in your chocolate (ice-cream-ish products), then you must try this on the day when Chocolate Cashew Caramel is the flavor of the day…

Make their Turtle Sundae out of that flavor of the day. Usually I eat ice cream at home, sometimes alone. Yeah, not usually with nobody else…that is unless Culvers has that, and then I will belly up out there in public. Yahooooooooooooooo!

….hoping to lift spirits…

Sorry about the R’s guys!

So sorry Tracey… the ride to get here sure was fun, and you did get several Baskin Robbins trips!! <:-)

Congrats on getting your signed book, Lisa… heck, with seven G7’s Louis should have hand delivered it! LOL

G8. :( Oh well. I understand exactly why because of the excellent feedback that was offered. Thank you so much for that! It made the blow much easier to handle.

Now to drown my sorrows in Valentines chocolate. Oh, who am I kidding. I would be eating chocolate if I won or if I lost! LOL!

About halfway through my Valentines BBQ dinner, but had to come in here and say OMG ANDREA & LISA!!!!!!
I thought for certain there’d be one or two G8’s between you guys!!! Gulp!!

Me too. 7 big red kisses on Valentine’s Day! Scott and team, thanks for taking the ideas to presentation and for the feedback that had an encouraging and personal tone. On a positive note, I won a signed copy of Louis’ book today!

Good luck to those still in this one, I am out!! Thanks for the feedback Scott!

As Frank’s post acknowledges, there is some updating going on for the Brica LPS currently.

We have 4 items that the sponsor has been actively engaged in since the presentation and those involved have sent prototypes on their way. We were awaiting word before updating dashboards as they went back after the presentation and actually reviewed it again internally on Friday, so before we made anything official we wanted to be sure.

The sponsor was very complimentary of the items that were presented, they were really encouraged by the level of thought, design and Brica inspired feel that went into the thoughts from the whole community.

I think Frank’s comments are great, about the fact that any idea can be a work in progress, sometimes it is a better fit for another sponsor, sometimes it needs a little tweaking to advance further. It is clear to me that the entire community put a very thorough thought process into the Brica LPS, really tried to showcase HOW it’s idea should be in the Brica line and put their best foot forward.

To those still on the radar at Brica, we will do everything possible to get a deal done and get your product to market. For all others be proud to know that you did an awesome job on representing your ideas the sponsor definitely took note and commented upon the quality of the submissions !!

R8 for me in this one.

Thanks EN Team for getting it to the presentation and providing the feedback!
The design originally got an R8 (my very 1st submission)… was resubmitted and got an R4… was tweaked and got another R4…. and tweaked again and got another R8!

Think it’s time to put this design to rest! LOL

All the best wishes to the rest of the 7’s in the waiting room!! It’s been fun, thanks! <:-)

Any movements for anyone? I am still sitting on G7.

Thank you for the informative update, Scott!

You guys go above & beyond!

Hey EN community. We just wrapped up as Brica had another meeting to be at by 4:00. We are convening with the President tomorrow to finalize all items that will be in consideration, but have several that will try to reach out on tonight/tomorrow morning in regards to prototype request.

Great feedback and dialogue in the presentation and they felt that the items were really much more in line with Brica and who they are than previously. They had some interesting reactions to the products and it was a good learning experience on some, as they scratch their heads to on a few “problems” that the market sees and tries to exist, and there is lengthy poor track record of those items…but as they said, times change and manufacturers/brands are still trying to address.

Will try to update with a “still standing” update tomorrow after meeting with their president.

Thanks Andrea! I hope so too!

WOW Lisa, your so rock star right now, you have to get 1 at least!!! That’s like 20 ideas now, so 7 more are not posting yet…this will be a very cool one to get, hope they pick a lot of new ideas!!

Thanks Toni, Penster, and Chris!

WOW @ 7!!!!! Good luck Lisa and everyone else!

Hey Lisa, seven is a lucky number. You go girl!!! Best of luck to you. xo

Lisa:

I am not in this one but 7 G7……..I have goosebumps….WOW! You may be the next BRICA Queen!

Good Luck to All!

Frank, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve counted them on my dashboard in disbelief. Still, it only takes one good idea.

Wow Lisa… I think that’s the most ANYONE has had go to presentation!!

You pulled a Hail Mary play on this one, girl!! C’mon Brica!!!! <:-)

Thanks for the update Kim and Scott. I hope you’re knocking their socks off at presentation!

My last two went G7. Thanks for the support everyone! This is the most I’ve ever had go to presentation, and I’m really excited. I submitted seven thinking I better not put all my eggs in one basket. Never thought the whole basket would go.

Fingers and toes crossed Kim!

Trying to check and see if we get any input for a G6? It is not patented..do have a prototype…I really like it…Gonna try to find a simple way of protecting it, so I can make the next move. I’m not giving up on this ONE!

I’m cheering for you guys! Can’t wait to see who/what they pick! I’m sure it’s gonna be good!!!

Welcome Bill!!! The group is forming!!!

@Tracey – Go to the “Insiders” tab beside the “Dashboard” tab, then scroll down the page until you see “Insider Points”
and that explains what each G level brings.

BILL SO NICE TO SEE YOU WITH US!!

Bill 2 G7’s
Tracey 1 G7
ild 1 G7
Andrea 1 G7
Frank 1 G7

I just found out that I have 2 @ G7

Best of luck to everyone in the green!

Looks like your all getting very close to a good run …. so sorry for those who tripped out but onto another great opportunity to run this race again …. will be watching you all very close and rooting for your successes !!

OUCH Patty!! I am so sorry to hear that!

Tracey – your entry wasn’t by chance an opt-in was it? (no points for opt-ins)

Congratulations Andrea, and hoping for good news on the rest of yours!!

No Patty!!!!!! Here is the list…points caught up to me a week ago after a long time, so maybe they do an update after a few months? Not sure…

I have 1 G7 too!! Still waiting on 2 G6’s and 1 G5!! Congrats G7’s

Tracey 1 G7
ild 1 G7
Andrea 1 G7
Frank 1 G7

SNAP!! I’m out! Too bad I really liked this idea. Best of luck GUYS!!

Frank-Should I ask someone about the points? I’m not at all familiar with what the points mean.

UPDATE: Just checked and I am also a G7 now!!!!

Gongrats on the Seven’s!!

Patty/Terry – The sponsor could choose any number of products… or none at all.
Also for those of us remaining in the waiting room, the “X” or “G” could walk through
the door any time this evening, and possibly on into tomorrow morning.

@Tracey – congratulations, but kind of curious… you’ve been an insider for a few weeks
now, wonder why your points haven’t advanced with your G score?
Also, no one knows how long after the presentation word will come back from Brica… it
could be a week and it could be months.
