Update: Innovation Direct™ receives response to Innovation Direct To Industry™ e-mail campaign from National Hardware Show 2009 exhibitor contacted Friday; further communication expected soon…

Greetings, Juan C. Blanco, Innovation Direct™’s Director of Product Licensing, chiming in one final time regarding a busy Tuesday. Over the holiday weekend, we received our first response to our Innovation Direct To Industry™ post-National Hardware Show 2009 e-mail campaign conducted this past Friday. The reply came from New York-based Chapin International, Inc., a manufacturer and marketer of all types of sprayers for a variety of uses, and a licensee of several major brands, including Stanely, Spectracide, and Thompson’s Water Seal.

The brief e-mail correspondence was sent by a member of the company’s customer service department, who also provided the name and contact information for one of the firm’s principals for the purpose of further dialogue. Accordingly, the Innovation Direct™ representative managing the manufacturer’s response sent an e-mail reply to both the customer service representative and the executive that was referenced, thanking them for their interest and informing them that we would welcome further communication from them regarding our Innovation Direct To Industry™ program.

We will continue to monitor this situation closely and will provide updates as warranted, here on the Innovation Direct™ Blog. Check in frequently!
