Innovation Direct™ wraps up participation in SHOT Show 2009 with solid second day of networking…

Hello, Juan C. Blanco, Innovation Direct™’s Director of Product Licensing, back in the saddle with a Saturday update regarding our participation in SHOT Show 2009. Our trade show representative reported late Saturday evening that all had gone well and successfully in his second day of traversing the exhibit floor of the Orange County Convention Center, and that he will have a considerable number of manufacturing and marketing leads for us to follow up with beginning early next week.

As expected, our colleague did spend time in the SHOT Show’s law enforcement section on Saturday, and reported that he did find a few companies interested in taking a look at innovations in those areas. Additionally, he continued to interact with all manner of hunting products companies, including a growing outdoor products outfit that was started a few years ago by a small group of partners. During their conversation, one of the co-owners of the firm emphasized that they had learned how important it was for a manufacturer to keep their minds open to new product ideas at all times, especially in a struggling economy.

Thank you for joining us for our coverage of SHOT Show 2009 here on the Innovation Direct™ Blog. Join us in the coming days and weeks as we begin to cultivate relationships with the various companies that were part of this great event!
