Inventor Success Stories

Congratulations Lauren Piccirillo on licensing your invention, Baby Soothe!

In 2017, Baby Soothe was featured on the Dr. Oz show, where Lauren met and got insight about pricing from mogul Barbara Corcoran.

Baby Soothe, Mother’s Touch™ is a revolutionary patent-pending infant massaging device that easily calms a crying baby. Through innovative massaging “fingers” that simulate mother’s affectionate touch, babies instantly feel nurtured and comforted. This baby gadget facilitates a peaceful environment for both parent and child. Perfect for on-the-go, multi-tasking parents.” – Baby Soothe

The Baby Soothe will launch in Walmart and online in September 2019. Congratulations Lauren!

Trade Shows & Highlights

“Fifteen to 20 years ago, we were at shows primarily to sell to our customers, which are retailers. That’s not necessarily the case anymore, especially for national shows. Now they are a way to launch new products from an advertising standpoint and share product knowledge with representatives who sell for us.” Talbot also enjoys the opportunity to meet with inventors — so much so, he’s begun devoting the last day of shows to pre-scheduled one-on-one meetings with inventors. “That way, inventors know they’re going to have a certain amount of time to pitch and have us look at their invention right there.” – Inc.
