The Franco team challenges you to brainstorm creative, textile-based innovations for both children’s bedding and beach products — and the countless accessories that correspond with both bedtime and beach time.
Special considerations to keep in mind: Franco is a textile manufacturer and your ideas should be formed around textile-based innovations.
For bedding products, focus on:
Stand-alone novelty items. Remember the days before your child had the animal kingdom of Pillow Pets? We couldn’t, either. What is the next children’s product that will take the consumer space by storm?
Dream up new fabric innovations. Think microfiber bedding or microraschel throws. What new textile or fabrics would improve Franco’s product offering? They want to see ideas for new styling, silhouettes and fabric innovations.
Happy Inventing Everyone!

Glad to see everyone moving up on the green scale! Pretty excited about this one since it was inspired by my 7 year old son. Working with a great team member and very excited about our first G5! I really do appreciate and enjoy the searches EN has. They are very challenging and fun!!

Thanks, Andrea. I took the 40 or so testimonials I had from EN’ers and attached them to the LPS: hope you don’t mind – I don’t think anyone will track you down. :-)

No doubt Andrea. It does feel a bit like playing the lotto only with much better odds and you actually have to work at it, rather than just a game of chance. Congrats Amy!

Andrea, I think that we went down this road together before – all the way to a red 8: one of the BB&B searches a few years ago. I wish us better ‘luck’ this time. Even though I am a one-trick pony, the fleece, children’s pillowcase just might be a great fit for Franco.

Wow I think this one is starting to move. Can’t wait til after school today when my son gets home so I can show him the new G5!! He is going to be very excited. He doesn’t really know what the advancement means, but he knows Green Checks are good and Red X’s are bad! lol

Congrats and well done everyone!..still waiting with my G4 ! hope to see a G5 when i obsessively check my dashboard next!……
Here’s a story of survival to give us all hope….
An elderly lady neighbor of mine went for a drive last week, only to not return. The very next day all the neighbors rounded up to go search for her…no trace of her, or her car could be found……..4 days later, after continued searching from neighbors and coastguard alike, she was found…Alive and well…in her car…suspended in a tree 500 feet down a cliff. She had “accidentally reversed off the bank”. At 84 years old she survived on berries, and licked water off leaves whilst hanging like a Christmas tree ornament from the top of a giant pine tree for 4 days! Wow !

Funny I had never heard of Franco before and then last week and while driving to the beach ( a road I have traveled hundreds of times over the years) I look over near Conway, SC and see a sign for a Franco Manufacturing plant. Glad to see my entry hit G4. My youngest son, who inspired this idea, ( his momma says he came up with the whole idea!) has been thrilled watching the slow green progression! Love hearing him say woo hoo when i tell him the idea has moved a little further along. He is my little inventing buddy!
