Deadline: Sunday, July 12th, 2009 at 11:59PM Pacific Time (US & Canada)Tell your friends about this opportunity:
Description
WestPoint Home, the nation’s leading manufacturer and marketer of bed and bath home fashions, is turning to Edison Nation to find innovative new products for the bedroom, bathroom, baby and kitchen… the only catch is, your concepts must serve more than one function.
Multi-functional, “double-duty” products are cost effective and practical for today’s consumer. Whether you live in a tight-space studio apartment or are a busy parent with a knack for multi-tasking, products in the home need to do more. Multi-functional products also allow for environmental sustainability, a core value for WestPoint Home. EcoPure is just one of the manufacturer’s leading brands created to promote cost effective and eco-friendly home goods.
Consider shower curtains that feature toiletry storage pockets to maximize bathroom space, whether you have a small shower or simply lack the counter space. How about the terry cloth towel, which dries you off but also doubles as a cover-up while you get dressed? Or decorative bed skirts that feature storage pockets that offer a way to discreetly organize while maintaining the look and feel of your bedroom.
WestPoint Home wants to discover more new, double-duty innovations for the bedroom, bathroom, baby and kitchen that solve two or more problems in just one product. WestPoint Home has already partnered with four Edison Nation members to bring their idea to market, and now searches for continued success through the innovative minds of other members.
Current WestPoint Home brands include Martex, Baby Martex, Grand Patrician, Utica, Chatham, Vellux, Lady Pepperell and several more. WestPoint Home conducts market research to help anticipate consumer needs. Their cutting-edge product development assures that they meet them. Through product innovation, WestPoint Home aims to make consumers lives easier – and more fun, too.
