Cool Cot<\/a> has been increasing steadily — it is currently in at least 16 stores! Deb and Maynard visited Inventionland a few weeks ago to celebrate her success and meet with Mr. Davison, who presented her with her biggest royalty check to date.<\/p>\n![\"davison](\"https:\/\/www.davison.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/Deb-Cool-Cot2-268x300.jpg\" "\\"\\"")
\u201cI was thrilled; it was very nice,\u201d said Deb, who works hard each day running a home day care. “I\u2019m holding that check and I\u2019m just thinking, how do I get to spend this money? I\u2019ll probably put it in the bank and sit on it.”<\/p>\n
As we stated in Part 1, Deb wanted to help her dog, Sadie, who was suffering from arthritis, when she came up with her idea. During her visit, Deb also got to see her physical product for the first time, which \u201cwas pretty neat.\u201d Unfortunately, Sadie has passed, but \u201cDuke will get to enjoy it,\u201d she said. She thought it might even be put to good use as a place for the preschoolers in her home to sit and take a break from their activities.<\/p>\n
During their visit, the couple was\u00a0given a tour of Inventionland, which was \u201cfascinating.” They were also quite impressed with its inspiring founder.<\/p>\n
\u201cInventionland was a blast; I want to take it home with me,\u201d joked Deb. \u201cMr. Davison is pretty cool. We had a blast with him today.\u201d<\/p>\n
Although it took some time to get it to market, Deb said her experience with Davison, from Sales to Design to Licensing, has been good.<\/p>\n

“The Davison staff is great; they\u2019re just awesome,” she said. “Everything that has happened to date has been a very positive experience.”<\/p>\n
Before leaving, she offered a bit of advice to other people like herself who have an idea for a new product.<\/p>\n
\u201cGet it down on paper, and give Davison a call \u2026 I know I made the right decision,\u201d she said. \u201cThose who have an idea and someone is trying to talk them out of it, ignore them and go with your gut.\u201d<\/p>\n
Congratulations to our client, to Hugs Pet Products, and to the entire team on the success of the Cool Cot!<\/p>\n
A typical project does not get a royalty agreement, sell in stores or generate a profit.<\/strong><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"file:\/\/\/C:\/Users\/kvossler\/AppData\/Local\/Temp\/moz-screenshot.png\")
