also how you would manufacture it and increase market share

One product that needs improvement is the digital alarm clock.  It should have direct entry for time and alarm\nset.  Instead of this holding down two tiny buttons and waiting and then going past the time accidentally and having to go round again.... Should be you just push a "set time" button, push 6, push 0, push 0, push "set," and you're done.  Ditto for alarm.\n\nThey have this for microwave ovens, for example.  So there is nothing new to invent, electronically, only it's application to digital clocks.\n\nThe direct entry digital clock would be manufactured just like what we have now, only with the small bit of circuitry needed, and would definitely "sell itself" just by having the feature.

Any projection, even in a known market, involves assumptions.  In your case you will have to make a few more, but that is OK.  The key is that you clearly state what your assumptions are.  Then as you gain knowledge of your market and your customers, you can replace assumptions with data, or at least educated assumptions.  \n\nI would suggest starting with some identification of what you consider your market.  Quantify the market (how many companies, how much do they spend on similar products or services, etc.) This type of information should be pretty available unless your product is very obscure or new.  Then, once you know the size of the market, identify and quantify your competition.  How much are they selling to your customers?  How much do you expect their market share to change?  Calculate some measure of market strength or expansion.\n\nSubtract your competition from the market capacity and that is your potential capacity.  I hope this helps!

Heck Fred, build it for yourself. Mass produce them and bring the oil companies to their knees.\n\nYou, I mean, we are really on to something here. I, Barney, hereby PATENT this idea publicly in Yahoo answers.

Probably the people who might use such a thing have the capabilities to easily produce it themselves. So it is hard to imagine who would buy it. Also, it does not appear to be such a large prime, from what I can tell. \n\n\nSome hints at commercial applications can be found by exploring the internet, possibly starting at the links below.

There are many plastics businesses already entrenched in the market, so your best bet would be to market your product/s based on competitive prices.\n\nA brief description of your competition is below:\n\n"According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there were a total of 3,908 establishments involved in the plastics and basic forms and shapes industry in 2001. There were a total of 43,116 employees, with an annual payroll of approximately $2 million. In 2003, the workforce had decreased to 30,279 employees. The annual sales for the industry totaled $10.9 billion in 2003.\n\nThe plastics materials and basic shapes sector controls more than 30 percent of the industry in terms of market share. The sector consists of 931 establishments, with total sales of $3.3 million. The plastics materials not elsewhere classified segment made up more than 24 percent of the market, with $6.7 million in sales. The plastics products not elsewhere classified segment made up more than 19 percent of the market, with $6.7 million in sales. Still others included resins with sales of $24.9 million; plastics resins with sales of $8.7 million; synthetic resins with $3.6 million; plastic basic shapes, with $2 million; plastics film, with $3.3 million; and plastics, sheets, and rods with $4 million.\n\nA panel of 67 journalists gathered by the Newseum, a journalism museum, ranked the invention of plastic number 46 on its list of the 100 most significant news events of the 20th Century, according to a February 1999 American Plastics Council (APC) press release. Newsweek magazine seconded this opinion. As the APC reported in November 1999, the year-to-date plastic resin production by August 1999 amounted to 52.1 billion pounds, a 5.3 percent increase over production for the same eight-month period in 1998. August 1999 production reached 6.6 billion pounds, a 0.7 percent decrease from July 1999 production but a 4.1 percent increase over August 1998 production.\n\nBoth shipments and employment in plastics rose over the 1990s. Employment continued its annual growth rate of 3 percent since 1974, reaching 1,337,700 jobs by 1996, and shipment values continued their two-and-a-half decade growth rate of 4.1 percent, and between 1991 and 1996 alone shipment values rose 55 percent, reaching a value of $274.5 billion in 1996, according to APC statistics.\n\nThe 1992 Census of Wholesale Trade listed 3,490 companies as wholesale distributors of plastic materials and basic forms and shapes. Their combined sales totaled $28.5 billion. At least 160 of these companies reported annual sales of $25 million or higher. The industry employed 25,504 workers and posted an annual payroll of $803.6 million. These figures can be compared to those of the 1980s, where the 1987 Census of Wholesale Trade listed 2,744 companies in this group, with combined sales of $20.3 billion, 28,453 workers, and an annual payroll of $788.4 million.\n\nBetween 1988 and 1992, the average return on assets for the nation's plastic distributors dropped 45 percent, from 8.1 percent to 4.6 percent, although individual distributors had varying success. As Mark Bogin, of Roechling Engineered Plastics in Gastonia, North Carolina, observed in IAPD Magazine, "plastic distributors serve a cross-section of industry, and no two distributors serve the same market and industries in the same way." Bogin also said "there is hardly any industry that does not use our products, and regardless of general economic conditions there are always industries which are growing."\n\nAccording to a report issued by the APC in 2003, the overall industry had remained flat. The economy had weakened by the war in Iraq and the workforce continued to decline. The plastics industry being dependent upon other industry's needs for their products, felt the rippling effect of the downturn in the overall economy.\n\nIn 2004, the plastics market began to recover from the downturn and production of plastic resin rose to 6.

Sure. If it as good as you say. It may or may not be a mass market product but there are always sub-markets that look for alternatives - health conscious, body builders, ethnic groups etc may indeed find it appealing. \n\nThe success will mostly be determined by how you market the product. So get up to speed with your marketing or find a partner or hire someone who is.\n\nRemember your distribution is not limited to consumers, you can also tap into the networks of pizza chains/restaurants that would might want to offer it to their customers.

First I need to know what the product is, run ads in the newspapers, and radio.  If local TV station would try that. Al lot of times word of mouth is the best selling tool you can get.

Don't tell anyone what it is.  Make a prototype and approach a manufacturer directly.  You may have to find investors so that you can produce 10,000 or so to start out.  Then you'll need to invest in some advertising so that your product becomes known.

if you want to make your own frangrance, hire a chemist first. \nif you simply want to sell frangrance, then become a distributor.

You can also get the computer programs sold at places such as office supply stores and print them up that way.  Then, you have a little more creativity and control over the final product.

I think it is very possible.  My business does both.  The key is finding a nitche market.  We are in the wedding business so that is always a large market.  What specifically are you looking to sell?  Product or service?

you might try attending a trade show in the USA related to your business. Or if you want to distribute directly to american consumers, advertising in media related to your product/service, or perhaps attending a conference or convention related to your product/service.\n\nYou gotta get your name out there!
