When you have a great idea and you can see its value in the marketplace this is the time when you began the product creation process. While he may not fancy yourself an inventor of any kind effect is a product creation process is an essential component to getting your idea from out of your head and onto the page and into the hands of customers who you see a need for. Weren't they are not great products made out of complete accident, some of the best and most versatile products we use each day would never have come to be. The fact that you don't see yourself as much of an inventor should not stop you from embarking on a product creation process.
Before you embark on the product creation process you should have a set of rules in place so that you know exactly what you doing and so that you don’t just while around; never getting anything really accomplished; wasting yours and others time and money.
Plan of attack: You should know in a broad way a few things before actually embarking on the creation of a product. You should be able to see a real need for this product in the market place that is not currently being met. You should also be able to find venues where you could potentially sell your product. Whether this is in your garage and on the internet or in major chain stores around the world, you need to know where your product would best be sold. You could start out with the idea that you would be able to create your product yourself, but then you ultimately need to know when you are ready to make the move to larger spaces and how long you wait around with a closet full of widgets and only a few buyers.
Market it: Once you have been able to identify the need for your item in the marketplace, then you need to be able to market your product effectively. Having a marketing strategy before your product is even tangibly made is a good idea because being able to talk about your product effectively is just as good as watching your product walk out the door. On the other hand you can’t get too regimented into your products marketing life before you’ve actually made a prototype. There could be others you meet along the way who have ideas which could even be better than yours because they view your product through a completely separate prism than you as the creator.
Sample It: Once you’ve figured what your product is, who needs it, where and how you’ll sell it, then you need to be able to make this wonderful item! If you already have supplies or a prototype your next best move might be to have a couple of these widgets on the shelf and push a few out to development companies so they can see what you see and you can see if they see the same thing you see.
When you are delving into product development you need to be sure that you're making products that people need. In order to allow your ideas to go from development stages and into actual creation you need to be sure that the products you are proposing are not somewhere else in the marketplace. In order to understand whether or not the product you're proposing has some value in the marketplace you need to do the requisite amount of research and make sure that you have all the facts on your side before you delve into the actual creation of the product.
While there are a wondrous amount of resources for you to find the information you're looking for, the first place you need to start is the Internet. While the World Wide Web can be a bit confusing for some and can seem a bit daunting the fact is that beginning the creation of your product in the real world starts with finding out whether or not your product has any real world need. The Internet serves as a marketplace for an open exchange of ideas. Moreover the Internet is one place where people who have tried to create your product in the past go to share their failures. If this has happened than it will surely be documented somewhere online.
Moreover, chat rooms are often a great space for people to vent about products that they feel need to have been! If you get into a chat you could bring into creation. Getting into an anonymous chat room and just hearing about the need or not of your product is a great way to figure out whether or not your product idea has some kind of legitimate legs in the marketplace.
Once you have determined whether or not your products should even be created at all and you have identified a need for it somewhere, then you should figure out how to take your idea from just a concept into creation of a product. Creating products is not the easiest thing to do and anybody who tells you otherwise is foolish. It is not merely the work that goes into research and development but securing the funding for the development of the product as well as for the marketing campaign which is to follow. As an independent product creator you need to have your hands into all facets of this experience before you go any further.
Product creation happens every day and people are always making new things that people need; moreover people's ideas are always taking flight in the marketplace as they move from concept to creation. The only thing you need to be sure of when you're working in product creation is that you have a clear vision for your product and a clear place for it in the world.
