Firstly, if you have the budget get a great web page.  Not a plain one, or a home made one or even a good one.  Get the BEST you can afford.  Try for a web presence that screams "big money company, great product, safe and secure".\n\nAs the web is a global enterprise I would try to maximise my budget by hireing a top shelf web designer from a country where your money will go further.  If you are in the US, consider Australia as the exchange rate will buy you a much better site for your money.  \n\nEnquire of the company listed below.  They have been in the market for 10 years or so, and have done work for banks and other reputable companies including the winner of Australian Idol.\n\nGood luck.

I think I would start by contacting local businesses which you would want to sell your product. Ask them how they get the goods they sell. If it's from a warehouse ask for the name and some contact details. I think I might try and avoid some of the big chains because they may be expecting a large quantity and a regular supply of goods.

When you have a new idea for a product or service, there are 5 crucial actions you must take to assure your success. Getting a patent is not one of them. Typically, 70 percent of patents filed are granted. But, only an estimated 2-3% actually makes money. Many inventors and entrepreneurs whose products failed didn't follow these 5 actions.   \n\nYou need to think of yourself as more than just an idea person. Think of yourself as a product developer and marketer. To improve your chances for success, perform the following actions for your idea before filing a patent. I ve used the acronym IDEAS to guide you.\n\nThe 5 Actions\n\nI - Inventor's Notebook:\n\nProtect your idea by documenting all your ideas and plans in an Inventor s Notebook. In the United States it s the first person who documents their idea that gets patent rights rather than the first to file a patent. Use a notebook with a stitched binding and numbered pages. When documenting your idea, get a witness, who has no financial interest in your idea, to sign and date the pages.\n\nD - Determine Competition:\n\nWho is your competition? Find out what they re doing and develop your product with benefits and features that are better than the competition. For example, if your product is meant to save time, it must save more time than other products. If you have a completely new idea, it must perform better than the product that you re trying to replace. While we often like to think there is no competition, there are possible similar products. For example, you might have a new type of toothbrush that is unique. But people might be satisfied with their simple $2 toothbrush or Listerine strips.\n\nE - Evaluate for Marketability:\n\nBefore you invest in a patent or go into production, evaluate your product idea for marketability. Your product must solve a problem or satisfy a need or want. It must also, be better than the competition. Ask yourself if there are large numbers of people who would buy your product other than your friends and family? Also, visualize your product in a finished state and sketch an advertisement. What are the compelling benefits to excite people to buy your product? If none, why build the product?\n\nA - Analyze for Profit Potential:\n\nHow much are people willing to spend for your product versus your costs and expenses? How many will you sell? What are the unit costs and expenses related to developing and marketing your product?\n\nS - Select a Target Market:\n\nOther than everyone can you identify a group of consumers or businesses who will benefit most from your product? You can earn a lot of money by serving a particular group of people. Find a segment of people who have the greatest needs and wants for your product. You must tailor your product and marketing messages to a specific market group based on consumer demographics, business type, or location. You can select a market based on benefits sought such as safety, saving money, improving health or others.\n\nConclusion\n\nOften people rush to get a patent, prototype, and go into production only to find the product is not selling. They later find that there is really no need in the market for the product. Or, the product benefits don t outweigh the selling price. Once you perform the above IDEAS and are satisfied with the results, then consider filing a patent, creating a prototype, and going into production. By getting a patent too early, inventors find themselves committed down a path and find it difficult to change course when new knowledge of the market is gained. Or, by spending all your money on patents and production, there s nothing left to perform the necessary marketing.

A new idea or an actual product?\n\nIf you have an actual product, locate a wholesale food distributor (supermarket) or the corporate offices for other than a food item, call them and ask to speak to the appropriate department buyer and persuade them to take a look at it. It's a tough burn getting a hold of a buyer in a large company.\n\nIf you just have an idea, maybe you shouldn't contact them yet. Even with legitimate products, many times buyers will "steal" the product and have an associate produce it thus throwing you to the curb.\n\nGood luck\n\nMike\n\n=========================

The best thing you can do is get the advice of a qualified patent professional.  If you can't afford to, then for only $100 you can file a complete description of the invention as a provisional application for patent with the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office (see the link below), explaining exactly how to make, perform, and practice it.  Then you have a year before you have to get a nonprovisional patent (which should only be prepared by a patent professional).  In the meantime you can call your invention "patent pending" and you can show your idea to companies who might want to buy it.\n\nIf they do want to buy it, aside from paying you for it they will probably be happy to prepare, file, and prosecute the nonprovisional patent application (which is very expensive to prepare in a way that will produce a valid and valuable patent) in return for your assigning the patent rights to them.

Your new product should fall into one of these categories...\n\nThere are three types of patents: \n\n1) Utility patents may be granted to anyone who invents or discovers any new and useful process, machine, article of manufacture, or composition of matter, or any new and useful improvement thereof; \n\n2) Design patents may be granted to anyone who invents a new, original, and ornamental design for an article of manufacture; and \n\n3) Plant patents may be granted to anyone who invents or discovers and asexually reproduces any distinct and new variety of plant. \n\nDefinitely contact an intellectual property attorney. Also, read more about patents at the USPTO site & at Nolo. I listed the links.\n\nI also listed some handy marketing links.\n\nDo you have a name in mind for your product? Prior to investing your time, money & effort into a name, it is strongly advised that comprehensive research be conducted to ensure that the name you're interested in is truly available. \n\nThis entails searching the pending & registered Federal and State trademark files as well as the US National Common-Law files. Then, if clear, you can decide if you would like to file for a Federal or a State trademark. \n\nResearch is needed to make sure your trade name is legally available, before opening, before expansion, before incorporation or before designing your logo. Similarities in sound, appearance and meaning affect you too!\n\nThere are 16+ million trade names in use in the United States. Similar names matter, if close in sound, appearance or meaning. Similar names in related classes, distribution channels and customer matter too. You are affected by Common Law use (14 million), State Trademarks (500,000) and Federal Trademarks (2 million). \n\n\nHope that helps!

Product: high quality? high standards? \n\nPrice: make sure the price is suitable for your customers! try to make special offers, captive products, in connection with Ink cartridges and other equipment. reduce price if possible for a very short period of time to increase current sales and create awareness if the product is new.\n\nPeople: all your selling teams at stand by targeted to your customer segments with profiles in hands, make it easy for anyone to call your customer service and ask for in formations, and to be answered with the answers you need them to know. \n\nPlace: make sure POP are available to your target customers and if possible start some virtual shop on the net for people to visit and get the right information, specially individual customers.\n\nPromotion: if the product is new, try to find ways, creative ways, to connect with your customers and tell them about the product, and even making them feel they need it, starting from flayers in all Pops to brochures for institutions or business customers, to billboards, to business magazines. There are just a lot of ways, it all depends on your promotional budget.

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!

You really should try to sell it first. If it is a good-quality car, you can advertise online, in the newspaper, or in mailings such as pennysaver, etc.

Your best bet is to sell your idea to a company that already develops new products.  You definately need to get a patent for it from the U.S. Patent office ( http://www.uspto.gov/ ).  This will protect any potentional buyers of your idea from outright stealing it.  Other than this, I think you would be hardpressed to find people who will invest in your idea.

First of all, learn to use your spell checker.\n\n1.  Find a product that you want to sell.\n\n2.  Think of its properties (smells good, tastes good, looks good, etc.)\n\n3.  Think of your target audience (your classmates, your teacher, your parents, etc.)\n\n4.  Think of some commercials that you like and adapt them to your own.\n\n5.  Ask your teacher for some help.

I have a GREAT idea.  What you do, is you post a question like "why is no one buying our products?" on a place like "Yahoo Answers" and then when someone opens your question, post the URL of your website so that the schmucks who who see it will go to it and buy your product....  (Oh wait, you've already tried that.....)

As a patent holder let me give you some advice here:\n(1) You may be hungry - pull your belt tight and try to wait it out\n(2) Register your patent ASAP - say ZERO to anyone else\n(3) Once your patent is registered, when you talk to companies make then sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement with Breach Guarantee where they have to register with a Bond agent that will secure a bond of say $5million, $10million or whatever you think your patent is worth and have it in the NDA that if they develop or reverse engineer or anything along those lines a product that is or mimics or competes with your product and idea, they are in Breach and have to pay you the bond money.\n\nNow, a final word of advice.  BUILD the item.  Have a unit as a demo.  Do not just write an idea down.  Once you have it built, price out the parts and the item and figure out how to replicate it cheaply over and over again.  Then make a few extra prototypes. Start up your own company and offer the product for sale.\n\nOnce you have a physical product that backs up a patent and you offer it for sale, you win in court all the time.  Now that you have it available for sale and can replicate it, now is the time to persue other companies for the product.\n\nIf you start to get SALES on your product, do press releases, make updates and upgrades, and try to get as much press as possible.  Go on Tech TV shows and promote yourself.  Once you become a NAME your idea now becomes a hot property and people will pay you for it.\n\nAt no point in time should you EVER think that you are going to make money overnight by making a patent.  I learned that lesson the hard way.
