Product development help for inventions and inventors

After an idea is dreamed up and the development process is started, inventions pretty much take care of themselves. There is a strict, defined process for product development, and once the wheels are in motion, the invention really just needs to be moved through the process–something we can manage if you choose us as your design firm. From the first phase to the last, in a short or longer time, your invention will get developed.

As for inventors, they are often in need of help during the product development phase, and especially after. Many get bogged down in all the details and lose sight of the big picture. Sometimes it takes another person with experience in product development to refocus the creator of a product. These experts can help show inventors that certain details of the design can wait. For example, inventors may get stuck in details of the packaging when they should be focusing on sales and marketing. Packaging can change along the way, or even be defined by a specific retailer or private label company interested in an invention. There’s no point worrying about that until absolutely necessary.

Inventors: we can guide you and advise you on what matters most at any given point of the product development process.
As we said above, it is after the development phase that inventors typically need the most help. Most inventions can be developed into marketable products, yet after the 3D models are ready, inventors are faced with an empty feeling of uncertainty and may not know what to do next
If you are in this situation, you’re not alone. At Spark Innovations we help inventors with every step of the development process. Whether it’s with the initial phases of product development or after the invention has been completed, we can direct you and ensure you are on the right track.
