Las Vegas Here We Come!" with Rita's guests.In the show's first segment, Rita and Michael discuss trade shows in general, and the ASD Market Week show, in particular.

Over the years Griffin has realized that there is a lack of good products supporting contractors’ during the basic construction process. Since necessity is the mother of invention, he has created and implemented many items that facilitate more efficient and effective working methods promoting solid, quality handiwork, which ultimately increases job profitability. His goal is to alleviate basic frustrations all contractors experience by sharing his knowledge and products.In the third segment, Rita's guest, Tom Butler, the inventor of the Next Level picture frame, shares the genesis of his product. As Tom explains: "All my life I've been a problem solver. That brings me to the place I'm at today, I started my venture in getting a patent for my self-leveling picture frame after seeing dangling family pictures on my mother’s walls. I thought there has to be a way to keep pictures level, so after some trial and error, I came up with using a water bladder in the back of the picture frame using that water weight for leveling. Water will always seek to level itself, thus making the picture frame level." Tom will be attended the ASD Market Week show with Rita because he's finally ready to begin the marketing for his product.Rita's last guest, Don Skaggs, is the President of the Inventor's Network KY, a nonprofit that helps inventors through education and support services. During their discussion, Rita and Don share their vast experiences with trade shows and how to approach prospects and people when attending.Hosted on Ausha.

ASD Market Week is the largest retail consumer b2b trade show in America. In this episode, Rita Crompton, America's Inventor Lady, discusses with her special guest, Kat Crompton, the upcoming ASD Market Week and why, if you're an inventor, this is the one show that you can't afford to miss. Unlike other shows, where niche products dedicated to that specific industry or industry segment is the order of the day, ASD Market Week welcomes all sorts of products and product industries, from, as they say, "diapers to diamonds". And, if you think you're in the hardware industry, for example, there is no better show for the independent inventor to attend than ASD Market Week. Shows like National Hardware Show and others are all dedicated to the "big boys" in that industry, despite what sponsors of those shows might tell you to the contrary; the independent inventors is often lost at those shows, ignored and relegated to a tiny space in the back of the hall.Instead, check out ASD Market Week. And, while in the process of doing that, also check out Invent America Radio's and America's Inventor Lady's presence at prior ASD shows. They are the only innovation space at ASD Market Week. Both can be viewed on the Invent-AmericaRadio.com website. Hosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

There is so much work, so many aspects bringing a product to market. But what do you do when somebody starts ordering your product? For this week's HomeTalkUSA "Invent America" segment, Michael King and co-host Rita Crompton discuss "Challenges of Fulfillment" with inventors Ron Matson (Blue Viper Trenching Shovel) & Dave Fegel (Seal-It Clean Can Solutions), joined by our industry expert Matt Ortega, VP of AWESUNG Sales Fulfillment & Logistics Services. Rita Crompton, known as "The Inventor Lady," is an industry expert with decades of experience helping innovators develop their ideas into sellable products. Her knowledge and expertise covers all aspects of the invention process - patents and trademarks, engineering and manufacturing, crowdfunding, marketing and selling, and licensing. Ms. Crompton has helped inventors bring to market everything from full size functioning tractors to baby products - there's a reason she's called "The Inventor Lady." Michael King, known as “the Cajun Contractor,” has been in the home improvement and home construction industry for nearly three decades, first by working for a home improvement company and then becoming a fully licensed general contractor owning and managing his own home improvement company. For more than a decade, however, his knowledge and expertise as a general contractor have been put to use by hosting the nationally syndicated television and radio program HomeTalkUSA.
