Product News

jean_abc_playUpdate: Our client, Jean, was featured on ABC demonstrating the Meatball Baker in her kitchen during a newscast. She made perfect meatballs and showed how her dream became a reality.





The Meatball Baker, an innovative new bakeware item we developed for our client, sold out of all units that were ordered for its debut on QVC from the International Housewares Show in Chicago (follow the link and click Videos to view the latest airing). The Meatball Baker has earned a Customer Top Rating on QVC.com. All customers who rated the product gave it 5 out of 5 stars and rave reviews! To quote just one: “I would LOVE to MEET the person who invented this marvelous pan. Talk about GENIUS!!”

“I just couldn’t believe it!” said our client, inventor of the Meatball Baker. She has great hopes and is receiving a royalty payment on each unit sold!

“It’s great when one of our client’s products gets in with a company like QVC,” said George Davison, CEO. “They have a tremendous marketing tool in their demonstration, which shows the product’s true functionality – cooking some of America’s favorite foods in a healthy way. I thought QVC did a great job and I couldn’t be happier for our client, Jean.”

Due to its initial success, the top-ranked home shopping network in the nation, which broadcasts via cable and satellite TV 24 hours a day to 90 million homes, will feature the Meatball Baker again in an upcoming broadcast. So, check back later for that date and for more exciting news.

jean1Inventor’s Story:
We developed the new product for our client, Jean, a busy homemaker. She came up with her idea after getting discouraged whenever she cooked meatballs. They always got flat and cooked unevenly in the frying pan or oven and would sit in their own grease – unhealthy as well as unappetizing.

“I just didn’t like the way mine turned out,” Jean said. “I love to cook, although I’m not that good; but I love to try new things.”

One day, she came up with a solution that would solve both problems. She found Davison and submitted her idea, and the design team went to work. The final product has a unique, rounded rack system that holds and preserves the shape of meatballs and other foods, enabling them to cook evenly while keeping them completely out of the grease.

The product was licensed by a company specializing in extraordinary products for the home. Jean visited Davison while on vacation in 2007 to meet with those working on her project.

“It’s been great – you guys are very knowledgeable,” she said of her experience with Davison. “I was new to all this and I learned a lot.”

A typical client’s project is not licensed, sold in stores, or generates a profit.

Inventor’s Product a Hit on QVC!

joycheckUpdate: Our client, Joy, whose Party on the Go was a big hit on QVC, got a wonderful surprise when Mr. Davison and his team visited her in her Colorado hometown to celebrate her success. Joy’s first royalty check was hidden in a Party on the Go platter at a festive picnic held in her honor at Colorado National Monument Park. Read in the Grand Junction Daily Sentinel how she cried when she received her royalty check from Mr. Davison, which left Joy totally shocked. “I had no idea it was going to be that much,” she said.

viewvideo_abcpartyShe was also featured on her ABC affiliate, demonstrating her product, the Party on the Go, during a local newscast. She explained how Davison helped turn her dream into a reality, as her product was about to be shown on the nation’s most popular shopping network.

The Party on the Go was a big hit during its debut as a “Today’s Special Value” on QVC. The innovative food and dessert travel caddy got a great response and sold in the tens of thousands.

When Joy saw her product featured on the biggest shopping network, which broadcasts daily to 90 million homes, she was overwhelmed.

“I was just thrilled,” she said, when she saw it on QVC. “It’s like a dream!”

“We all celebrate whenever one of our client’s products is featured on QVC,” said George Davison, CEO. “They have a wonderful way of showing all the product’s great features in their demonstration. QVC did a great job and I am thrilled for our client.”

Inventor’s Story:

We developed the new product for our client, Joy, a self-employed medical transcriptionist. She came up with her idea because she wanted a neat and simple way to transport deviled eggs to get-togethers. Previously, she had taken a dozen deviled eggs to a barbecue in a pie pan covered with plastic. By the time she arrived, however, they were a mess.

Joy knew there had to a better way, but she couldn’t find a proper container in the stores, so she decided to invent one. She went online and found Davison, and the design team went to work.

The product was licensed by a company looking for new items to add to its line of functionally unique and innovative housewares. The company liked the idea but wanted the product to be more versatile. Davison designers and the manufacturer collaborated to redesign and perfect the Party on the Go.

The resulting product transports deviled eggs, cupcakes and a variety of other foods neatly and easily. The veggie, pie and cookie trays rotate, turning it into a portable lazy Susan, and all the trays stack neatly inside the unit for compact storage.

“I can see that a lot of people will find a lot of uses for it. The convenience of the carrier is an added bonus,” said Joy. “Overall, it’s been a very worthwhile experience working with Davison, and I’m very happy with the end result.”

A typical client does not enter into a licensing agreement or profit from their invention.
