Four new ‘wellness’ products for which we created all the packaging, photography and in-use shots are now selling on Walmart.com!

TheComfort Me Spa Sets and the Relaxzen 5-Motor Massage Mat with Heat are the first in a new line of more than 20 individual wellness items that we have worked on for Comfort Products, as we help the manufacturer branch out into other areas. Davison’s corporate design manager was a bit surprised when he came across the items that just went up on Walmart’s website. “It definitely was nice to stumble across them,” he said.

Although the website does not show the packaging, it does use the product images that we provided, as well as the in-use shots , which feature Davison employees.

We initially created planograms for the kits so Comfort Products could present the items to another buyer. Walmart was quick to express interest, however, and decided to first test the products on their website.

The corporate team has just received two additional new items from Comfort Products to add to the line for which we will do photography now and create the packaging later. More products in the line are sure to hit the market, and all the new products soon will be added to our product pages, as well.

“It’s a nice surprise, and it’s great to see that we continue to get more and more D’s on the market,” said Davison’s senior category director of licensing. He soon will have more good news to report about Comfort Products items with the Davison “D” that are slated to go to market next month – So stay tuned!

The Bucket Bench, which we created for Faucet Queen, has had its first production run, and 1,000 units are on a boat and on their way to the marketplace! We recently received the production approval sample from the factory; which was just about perfect.

“It looked fantastic,” said the creative coach of special operations. “It looked exactly like our prototype.”

The product is an addition to the Davison-designed Helping Hand line, bringing the total to 10 car cleaning items. It is designed to hold and keep all the
items while giving the user a convenient and comfortable place to sit while cleaning and detailing a vehicle.

The Bucket Bench will be for sale on Faucet Queen’s website along with the rest of the line and will be available for orders. The product will be readied for a bigger launch into the marketplace by early next year. Congratulations to all who worked on this great new product!

Our Meatball Baker is still going strong — the innovative bakeware that we designed for our client, Jean, is in the new Spring issue of Harriet Carter. Check it out!

Our client, Jean, visited us so we could celebrate her success. At a delicious dinner held in Inventionland of spaghetti and meatballs (prepared in the Meatball Baker), she was presented with a gleaming covered tray that concealed a large royalty check. Jean responded with shock, amazement and tears of joy.

Jean and her husband, Donald, said they may use the money to move to a warmer climate when he retires, so they can enjoy their love of golf and get away from the bitter northern Minnesota winters. The couple was blown away by Inventionland. “I love this place, this is awesome; it’s like a dreamland,” said Jean. “You can’t even put it into words, it’s so cool.”

Product update: The Meatball Baker was featured two more times on QVC; apparently they know a hit when they see one! The product was presented during the popular segment “In the Kitchen with David.” The Meatball Baker also earned a Customer Top Rating on QVC.com. Most of the customers who rated the product gave it 5 out of 5 stars! To quote just a few: “Wow! Whatta Pan!” “WONDERFUL PAN!” and “I would LOVE to MEET the person who invented this marvelous pan. Talk about GENIOUS!!”

The product is also selling on Amazon.com, Taylor Gifts, SkyMall, and many other stores!

A typical project does not get a royalty agreement, sell in stores or generate a profit.

The Perfect Serve, Davison’s new combination pizza cutter and spatula, is now for sale in Taylor Gifts, a popular online retailer. The innovative kitchen gadget makes it easier to neatly slice and serve a pizza without having to cut through repeatedly, or use your fingers to help dish it up.

We developed the Perfect Serve pizza cutter and with a non-slip rubber handle, so users can secure a tight grip as the stainless steel wheel slices through pizza crust and all of the toppings. The cutting wheel is located at the front of the spatula to avoid rubbing knuckles across hot pizza, and the contoured edge conforms to the crust of the pizza for serving it to friends and family. Not only great for pizza, it can also be used for dishing up dessert after dinner! 

This corporate product was invented and licensed by Davison for its own benefit.

A Davison-designed client product, the Pizza Keeper, will air early next year on the nation’s most popular home shopping network. The innovative container stores leftover pizza compactly in the refrigerator.

The first manufacturer that saw the Pizza Keeper licensed it immediately. The president of the company loved the product and said he thinks it will do well because it solves a problem that everyone has experienced.

The client has not made a profit on this product.

The newest innovations in the sewing/crafting world have just hit the store shelves, and they all have a blue “D” on the package. Four Davison products/packages, including a client project that we developed for a corporation are now in Jo-Ann stores, a leading specialty retailer of crafting and sewing products.

The Better Bobbin, invented by our client, Thomas, provides an innovative and time-saving way to wind bobbins of all sizes without having to unthread a sewing machine – Congratulations, Thomas! The Quick Cut electric scissors provides a more convenient and precise cutting tool. The Travel Folding Stitcher’s Tools combines tape measure, scissors, needle threader, seam ripper, stiletto, and a removable magnifying glass in one. We also created interactive packaging for the Petite Press mini iron.

We recently added numerous retail outlets selling Davison products and packaging — our total store count is now over 400 stores worldwide.

In addition to adding stores, we now have more products and packaging in big name retailers, such as Kohl’s (Aviva line of pool products), Jo Ann Stores (Slice Solutions Brownie Pan), Walgreens (Wrist Therapy Brace, Tru-Ice), Sears (RV Leveler, Slice Solutions), Target (Cap Racks, Purse Rack and Door Stor), Sky Mall (Dog Wash, Splash-O-Meter), just to name a few.
