A Flash of Inspiration

 

Steve, the inventor of Bed Clips, was constantly frustrated when his bed sheets would come off of the bed during the night.  Not only was this uncomfortable and annoying but it also caused Steve to lose sleep on numerous occasions.  Steve began to think about ways to solve this problem and he finally came up with his bed clips invention, a simple clip system to secure the bed sheets and ensure they would never come off of the bed again!

​

Reuniting with DCP

 

Steve made a prototype to test his product and it worked perfectly!  Having already worked with DCP on the design & build of a prototype for his other invention, a vent fan, Steve contacted DCP again help him with the further development of his bed sheet clips invention.

Logo Development & 10 Retail Packaged Prototypes

 

Because the cost to make Steve's prototype was low due to the simplicity of the product (elastic material cut to length and simple snaps), we mutually decided on a strategy to develop 10 high quality retail packaged prototypes that Steve could use to make a great introduction of his new product to retailers. 

 

After several months of design, prototype, logo and retail packaging development work, Steve had his inventory of retail packaged prototype samples! Also, because Steve's product is so simple and requires no large investments in tooling and setup, we were able to get Steve logistically production with pricing for the manufacturing of his product, should he receive an order.

 

With his high quality retail packaged prototypes in hand, Steve is now reaching out to major retailers with confidence, knowing he has a great looking product and production pricing if orders are received.  In fact, one of the top 20 mass retailers in the U.S. has expressed interest in Steve's bed clips. ​​

Testimonial

​

"The DCP team has been extremely helpful with the development of my packaged prototypes, marketing materials and a strategy for the introduction of my product to retailers.

 

The prototypes were to spec and the packaging quality exceeded my expectations.  I am very pleased with the results and excited to be able to show retailers a high quality retail packaged prototype sample of my product along with pricing and to also have the ability to start production right away upon strong interest or an order."
