Description
Water babies, be of good cheer: summer’s finally here and Sportcraft is steering into open seas to discover uncharted product territory!
Sportcraft has been a market-leading supplier of home recreational indoor and outdoor sports products for more than 80 years. They made croquet and badminton cool in the U.S. in the early 20’s, and continue a legacy of providing families with fun recreational products.
Sportcraft is looking for your water product innovations for children and adults that revolve around activity, recreational sports or general play. Submissions should be intended for use at the pool, beach or other situations involving water.
You may like to consider emerging trends within the category, such as products capable of maneuvering in the water, products that fly, or those integrating technologies and electronics (i.e. LED lights, glow-in-the-dark capabilities and so forth).
Product submissions should:
• Appeal to Sportcraft’s broad customer base of men, women and children ages 5 and up
• Be cost-effective and reasonably priced, with a targeted MSRP price less than $30.00
• Have mass-market appeal
• Be unique and protectable (patent protection is helpful, but not a requirement)
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
We encourage you to submit a visual representation of your product (i.e., sketch or photo). While not required, we highly recommend 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 Edison Insiders) to submit and, as long as you maintain Edison Insider membership, your idea may be submitted to as many searches as you like at no additional cost. Click here for more details on Live Product Searches.
Through the years, Sportcraft has remained a leader in the home recreation industry by consistently being the first to market with value-driven products that the whole family can enjoy together. Today, more than 13 million customers a year will choose Sportcraft products, and the Sportcraft brand has become ubiquitous with family fun.
