Speaker for the July 9th Meeting: \u00a0Howard Minsky:<\/span><\/h2>\n

GREAT Marketing Makes All The Difference <\/span><\/p>\n

Ralph Waldo Emerson<\/span> said, “Build a better mousetrap<\/span>,<\/b> and the world will beat a path to your door”. Not So, according to <\/span>Chester M. Woolworth, who was the president and chairman of Animal Trap Co. of America. He commissioned an elegant mousetrap, superior in every way to his competition, to be built and it failed miserably! Mainly because his target market, housewives, felt it was <\/span>too<\/span><\/i> beautiful<\/span><\/i> to simply throw away and had no desire to clean out its’ disgusting byproduct for reuse. <\/span><\/p>\n

Whether you have a product ready to sell or are still in the idea stage, every inventor needs to have a solid understanding of marketing to survive let alone succeed in this business and I know just the guy who can take us through the paces leaving us with a firm foundation of knowledge to build on. <\/span><\/p>\n


\n\"ISSF-Howard-Minsky\"Howard Minsky, <\/b>President and Co-Founder of SKM Media Group (<\/span>www.skmmediagroup.com<\/span><\/a>) SKM was ranked by Inc. Magazine\u2019s Inc500 as the 89<\/span>th<\/span> fastest growing company in America (that\u2019s 89 out of 14+ million companies).<\/span> Howard has had a successful career as a serial entrepreneur for over 20 years. If anyone knows how to use marketing effectively, he does and is a good match for budding inventor\/entrepreneurs like us. <\/span><\/p>\n
