“What’s the difference between an invention company’s store and a real store?”

Hey folks, I wrote a blog a while ago about the one question all inventors should ask to tell whether or not they should trust a company or a person to work on their idea. The basis of the question is that there is only one way to really separate everyone. I stated that if you can go to the stores and buy the inventions they’ve developed, they’re for real.

Unfortunately, I have to revisit this issue because some groups with bad intentions have read my blog and realized that I was making it simple for people to identify whether a company or a person knows what they were doing prior to hiring them.

I was shocked when I discovered that one particular company had just launched its own “Internet store.” Let me make this clear, folks; when I talked about the importance of “being in the stores,” I was referring to products in retail stores, not just some gizmos for sale on a company’s website

What concerns me the most is that a company is making it look like they did all the development work on the gizmos they’re selling in their “store,” when, in fact, they didn’t do any of the development work. I started looking at some of the products on their website and recognized them as those of inventors who approached us to help them with their fully developed products. Some of these people spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on manufacturing, packaging and tooling to make products that just don’t sell because they were developed incorrectly from the beginning.  

These companies are purposely trying to confuse people by saying their products are in a retail store when, in reality, they are not. If you can’t walk into a store and buy the invention or link to a real store where they are selling the invention, then they simply don’t have the necessary experience to develop products.

So, don’t be tricked; they’re just trying to look like they’re in the stores by creating their own “store.” And if you actually see something you would like to buy there, good luck trying to check out!
