When developing your submission, there are some key questions to consider – the same key questions that Edison Nation’s partners will ask as they review your submission:
- Does your product solve a common problem or fulfill a dream?
- Does your product transform your lifestyle?
- Does your product appeal to impulse buying? Does it hit hot buttons?
- Can the product be easily explained or demonstrated in a visually interesting manner?
- Does your product have mass market appeal?
- Does your product have a fascinating story to tell about its development and/or use?
- Is your product’s perceived value at retail 5 times greater than the cost to manufacture?
- Is your product an incredible value – a bargain that cannot possibly be missed?
- Does the product have the potential for on-going sales (refills, supplies, etc…)?
If your idea is selected, you will receive annual payments based on commercialization as well as a $2,500 advance. There is no limit to the
number of ideas that may be selected for each search.
Reward
Selected ideas will receive a $2,500 minimum advance on 20 years percentage of sales or buyout. We split the royalties 50/50 with you on the products that we select. Royalties vary based upon the product but we always earn industry-leading rates.
Requirements
Your submission must be unique and protectable. We encourage you to submit a visual representation of your product (i.e., sketch or photo). While not required, we highly encourage you to submit video of yourself demonstrating a prototype and explaining the features and benefits of your submission. Please be as detailed as possible in telling us about your innovation.
Each idea costs just $25 ($20 for gold members) to submit and, as long as you maintain gold membership, your idea may be submitted to as many searches as you would like at no additional cost. Click here for more details on Live Product Search.
