Mom Invented

The Mom Invented® California Product Search is still underway and we're looking for you to submit your fabulous new product ideas for a chance to win $1000, a $350 gift card from Anna’s Linens, a licensing agreement with Mom Invented to produce and distribute your product, and the chance to see your product sold at Anna's Linens stores nationwide.

How do you know if you have a great idea?
Ask yourself these questions:

• Does it solve a common, every day problem?
• Is the market large enough? In other words, will enough people want to buy it?
• Does it already exist? Do some online research to see and if so, is there room for another one or something similar with added benefits and features?
• How difficult/expensive will it be to produce?
• How will it be sold? The hardest thing to do is to get a product into retail stores. That’s why we are so excited that Anna’s Linens has agreed to launch the winning Mom Invented product from this California product search.

How can you ensure your invention gets noticed?

• Do some research. Go online and perform searches using words associated with your product to see what else exists that is similar or complimentary.
• Get creative! Use household items or second-hand or garage sale items to make a prototype. Photographs or videos of rudimentary prototypes can be very helpful in understanding the benefits of an invention.
• Draw your invention. Even if creating a prototype isn’t possible, do a series of drawings of your invention from different angles. If you cannot draw, perhaps you can find a student or teacher at a local school who would like the challenge.
• Impress us. By this we don’t mean to waste money on unnecessary expenses. However, it is always evident -- and appreciated -- when inventors put effort into their submission.
