The Winner of the California Product Search is…
Dear Friends,
Today is the day we promised to announce the winner of the California Mom Invented® Product Search. First, we wish to thank each of you who took the time to prepare, submit and present your product to our team. I recognize that each submission took tremendous effort to prepare and that you committed your precious time to share your ideas with us; many in person. It was an honor to meet you. Selecting from hundreds of creative submissions was a challenge. We were touched by your creativity as well as the trust you placed in us.
I'm delighted to announce that we have selected the winner of the Mom Invented® California Product Search. Congratulations to Lori McLaughlin from Belmont California. Lori has won $1000 cash, a $350 gift card from Anna's Linens, as well as a licensing agreement with Mom Invented. We will see her product launched in Anna's Linens stores in the coming months.
"I am ecstatic that my invention has been selected by Mom Invented and thrilled that it will be sold at Anna's Linens stores! The product was inspired by my son and I believe it will be a great help to other moms! Thank you Mom Invented for providing an encouraging and supportive forum in which we can realize our dreams!"
Now that Lori’s invention is being prepared to be sold in a competitive retail market, as with all our new products, in order to give it the best chance of success, we won’t be disclosing it publicly until it is launched! I promise we will let you know when that occurs.
I hope you will forge on and follow your dream!
With heartfelt appreciation for each one of you,
Tamara
