“Good Morning,” Davison Designs, So Glad to See You “Today!”
Davison News, Featured Invention, Product NewsRecently, we announced that our client, Jean’s, Meatball Baker, which offers a healthy alternative to greasy meatballs, was featured in the most recent Avon catalog and at shopavon.com.
It turns out, that great news was just the first bit of excitement the Meatball Baker has been cooking up lately! Nearly as soon as we heard that our “Meatball Queen” Became an “Avon Lady,” the Meatball Baker was back at it!
This time, it was Good Morning America’s (GMA) ”Secret Steals and Deals” website that featured the Meatball Baker – and for 60% off at that! For 48 hours, interested cooks everywhere could purchase the Meatball Baker for $8.80!
GMA also published an accompanying article called “Mom Inventions: Exclusive Deals and Steals, Just for ‘GMA’ Viewers,” which commended our client, Jean, on her invention.

“Mom/grandmother inventor “Jean the Meatball Queen” partnered with Davison, a new-products development company, to develop this rack that holds small, medium and extra-large meatballs letting all the fat drain into the bottom of baker,” the article stated.
We couldn’t wait to be the first to tell Jean the great news either!
“To be truthful, I am not much of a TV watcher, so I really never heard of it until you just told me about it. I do like the publicity though,” said Jean. Jean expressed how happy she was about all the exposure her Meatball Baker has received and said she, sometimes, is still in disbelief!
“At times, it is still hard to believe that my idea has truly came to life. I am seeing my idea used in other ways too, meaning I have seen my pan duplicated with just a change in the handle at a Farm & Fleet store in Eau Claire, Wi. I have also seen the meatloaf pan where the grease drains through a grid for a healthier meal. So, I look at it as my idea must have been a good one, if it is being used in all sorts of ways,” said Jean.
As for the possibility of her invention being in the news even more?
“The press can talk about my pan all they want,” said Jean.
Speaking of great press for Davison-designed products, we also found the Silicone Dessert Bar Pan on a Bed Bath & Beyond advertisement on the NBC Today Show website!

What will be the next Davison-designed product we find out there? We can’t wait to see!
A typical project does not get a royalty agreement, sell in stores or generate a profit.

That’s right, in the most recent Avon catalog and on 

That’s right, the adorable Davison-designed Pugz Shoes for Dogs were featured in Bed Bath & Beyond’s holiday mailer! In a section called “Gifts Fur Them,” the doggie boots were advertised for $19.99! You can also find them at Bed Bath & Beyond online, 
While at a trade show this fall, our Vice President of Licensing sent us a few pictures from a Bed Bath & Beyond store in Chicago! Look at that awesome end-shelf placement! From the looks of the display, several customers already have had their paws on the puppy shoes, which we designed for our client, Kay!
Managing Senior Director of New Products found some Pugz at a Bed Bath & Beyond store in Pittsburgh. If they’re in Chicago and Pittsburgh, they may be right in your backyard; so, if you’ve got a puppy who’s made Santa’s “Nice” list this year, pick some up!

The pan, which allows you to bake sweet treats with a surprise-filled center, has already been available at Bed Bath & Beyond, on QVC, at Amazon.com and at other stores. Now, we can add Sur La Table to our ever-growing list of over 1,000 retailers that carry Davison designs!
While you’re enjoying your “secret snack,” thank Mr. Davison and his team for all that deliciousness. The Surprise Pan, which is sure to satisfy any sweet craving, is just another example of a successful Davison-designed product that is showing the power of teamwork! 







“I have a very wonderful feeling about everyone. It was a very comfortable experience. Anyone who gets to do this is fortunate,” said Kay.
