I just sent this out via our newsletter but wanted to make sure that everybody heard the good news on Gyro Bowl and doesn’t miss the opportunity to follow in Brad & Melinda Shepard’s footsteps.
- Matt
First, Michael Diep’s Emery Cat took over televisions nationwide. Emery Cat is now available in every retail store you can imagine from PetSmart to Bed Bath & Beyond to Target to Walgreens — even Best Buy. You know you’ve struck gold when electronics retailers start selling your pet product!
Our second ASOTV home run joined Michael’s Emery Cat last year. Mister Steamy, from inventors Will Howe and Ric Payne, shot to the top of the ASOTV charts. Following the proven success on television, Mister Steamy entered America’s hearts and minds — and more importantly store shelves everywhere. There isn’t a mass retailer in the country that doesn’t sell Will and Ric’s superstar product.
We are pleased to announce that a third home run product has joined the Edison Nation ASOTV all-stars. Brad and Melinda Shepard’s Gyro Bowl may be the largest success yet! Our initial ASOTV tests were so strong that we believe we’ve cracked the code to success in the elusive direct response television category. Gyro Bowl is rolling out in a big way in four countries as you read this. Our current media budget for Gyro Bowl in the USA alone is an astonishing $800,000 per month! We have 11 more countries lined up and ready to launch the product as soon as we give the word, making the Gyro Bowl an overnight success in 15 countries around the world. Look for the Gyro Bowl to join Emery Cat and Mister Steamy on retail shelves everywhere by the third quarter of this year!
Are you ready to join the ranks of Michael, Will, Ric, Brad & Melinda? We’ve rolled out the red carpet for you and have invited you to join in on their success with our proven ASOTV platform and strategy.
Your time is running out, though! The As Seen on TV Live Product Search closes this Monday at midnight (PST). We know you’ve got the next great ASOTV idea in you. Take a few minutes this weekend to brainstorm and submit your great ideas to our Search. We fully intend to dominate this industry for the forseeable future and we need your great ideas to keep it up!
Click here to learn more or to submit your idea today!

That Gyro Bowl is totally brilliant. Just last night, my teen said I should invent a toddler bowl that doesn’t spill and I told him about Gyro as we observed the globe at my grandparents.
Congratulations Brad & Melinda!
And, Matt, your pump up the volume speech has me hook, line, and sinker. I’m pumped! Yay…I submitted the other day! This is now my favorite LPS!

It’s heartwarming to hear success stories both of EN and the inventors involved. EN is company doing the name cleaning of the invention submission companies after decades of the crooked thieves who hijacked this industry and gave it a bad name. Today, no one has to fear entering their ideas and inventions to EN. All you have to fear is a no and “losing” $25. WOW! You people at EN are breath of fresh air for the small inventor who wants to partner with a professional company for your expertise, staff of R & D, and financial backing. Thanks again.

One more thing, when do you plan to go public? EN members should be exclusive first buyers of stock at your ipo.

That is really awesome! I have a question about ASOTV submssions that I hope someone can offer some insight for.
I understand that a given ASOTV company is granted up to 6 months to commit to test marketing a submission or pass on the idea. Does anyone know how long it took Michael, Will, Ric, Brad & Melinda to go from G7 to G8??? Did it take the full 6 months?
Thanks in advance.

Tom,
I believe all three were actually Everyday Edisons products so I don’t think they went through the same exact process as the EN submissions.

I ordered a couple of gyro bowls before Christmas. I wish I’d ordered a couple more SETS. Everyone is intrigued by this concept and it would be a fun gift for more of my friends and family… not just my little neices. Can’t wait to see them in the stores! Congratulations on having another big hit, EN!

Thanks to all for the congrats! And to think, we almost didn’t submit the idea (Melinda takes credit for winning that debate…). We can never thank the awesome folks at Edison Nation enough for all the hard work they have put into our product. The ASOTV campaign has been brilliant. To everyone who has submitted an idea in this product search – we wish you the best of luck!

Hi Matt,
Quick question about the ASOTV search. I submitted an idea to this last ASOTV – and I am at stage three. My question is; can I change/edit my wording at this point without changing my stage/status? I only need to change a couple words, but, rather not if it will affect anything. Thank you.

Katrina—-I think I’m in a creative slump right now. But, I am lucky to have one ASOTV win that EN is working on and doing a WONDERFUL job with!!! But I have had my share of R4s, R5s and even R8s. Good luck on your submissions—-it IS addicting and lots of fun! :-)

I contacted Kelly about this. If it is a change that you want to make them aware of, you should put Update in the title and description. Hope this helps.

Thank you Junie,, I made a slight change, but I didn’t know to put Update,, might just leave it at this point. The idea I had (which is at 3 now) – seems to be similar to something that came out recently – and is now being sold by ASOTV.
Betsy, yes it is addictive. If your idea doesn’t make it, do you do anything further with it? I have a bunch of ideas, but, never really did anything with them until EN -EE. I would love to actually go ahead once they are not selected and try to create one. One of my ideas (mentioned above to Junie) someone else also thought of and is now selling them. I think if I had run with it back then, my product would have sold.

Hey Katrina, sorry I couldn’t answer you sooner….my computer wouldn’t let me post on the forums for some reason. But, I figured out a way to sign into the forums another way——so here I am again. Anyway, if my idea, or anyone elses’ ASOTV idea doesn’t make it thru the Infomercial testing phase——then everything is handed over to the Inventor. We get the protoypes, the Infomercial, the rights to the trademark, patent, etc. Not too shabby for a $20 or $25 dollar submission fee!

Hey Betsy…I saw a new DRTV Infomercial this weekend for a very clever product. I wondered if it’s yours! Can’t wait until the BIG reveal. I’m so excited for you! :-)

Wouldn’t that be soooooo cool if it was?!!!!!! I don’t know where or when they’re doing the testing—-but it’s really exciting.
BUT….there won’t be a big reveal if it doesn’t make it. Lots of products are tested, but there aren’t too many Emery Cats, Mister Steamys or Gyro Bowls. So we’ll see…….but I am thrilled just to know EN is working SO much on my behalf. It’s amazing! :-)

Gave 2 gyro bowls to my nieces yesterday. I couldn’t be there for their party so I gave them to my brother to deliver to the girls. I pulled one out to show him because he said he hadn’t seen them before. His jaw literally dropped! He said they were amazing… and they are!
Betsy, I can’t wait to see what they are up to with your product!!
