Have you designed, produced, and sold your own product?

Catwell
Catwell over 15 years ago

Has anyone here ever developed a products and sold it by yourself? If you have, share your story with us. What difficulties did you face? What should one do when it's time to sell a product?

 

And it's ok to do a little shameless promotion.

 

 

I know a lot of people here could use a few tips in this area.

    Wireless Power & Communication, www.wpc.no, have developed several products based on our patented technology for wireless transmission of power.

     

    The hardest part is always the last 20% of the development process. It is easy to think that the product is finished when you have a working prototype, but it is usually then the hard work starts. Ensuring thet the product is absolutely bug free and that it will work correctly regardless of how the end customer treats the product is often a time demanding process.

     

    It is also important to start thinking of production test and ease of manufacturing early in the design process. This will make it much easier to set up the product for mass production.

     

    We are a development comany and thus we try to have focus on development and find partners to handle sales, marketing and production. We have good experience in finding sales partner that has good experience in the market where the different products are applicable. Outsourcing the sales rights reduces our margins, but enables us to keep focus  on our core activity which is development of products with wireless power.
