Congratulations Cigdem on your new licensed pet product!
|
|
| “I’m extremely excited to let you know that I finally have a signed licensing agreement for my pet bowl idea! I received the fully executed agreement on National Inventors’ Day! My pet bowl is going to debut at the Global Pet Expo in Orlando at the end of this month on Feb 26 – 28. I’m working directly with the manufacturer and others to get the bowl, packaging, and marketing materials ready for the show. I’m really busy, but it’s all a lot of fun and excitement!” — Cigdem Delano |
