Jen Said it Best About Womentorz on Product X

I would like to share with you all the most amazing and well written posting that summarizes to a T what Womentorz is all about. Our wonderful and talented Jennifer Cannon posted the comment below on the Product X blog (http://productx1.blogspot.com/), which I encourage you all to follow as well if you aren't already. Tracy Sanders of Pitch Woman, who is well networked in the women inventor world, will be another wonderful partner with Womentorz in 2010 and someone you will hear a lot about from us.

Here's what Jen wrote:

Today has been a "red letter" day. Tracy, I look forward to meeting you in person very soon! With that said let's get to it.


Think of Womentorz like eBay without the bidding. That is how the site has been set up so that each Seller has control of their product.


To become a member on Womentorz:


Go to www.womentorz.com. Click on the "Sellers" tab right above the flowy-haired lady having a light bulb moment. Once there you will find some information and two giant buttons. Simply click the one that says "Register as a Seller" and the rest is self explanatory.


There is a $40 monthly fee, paid on a month to month basis, plus 5% of sales also collected on a monthly basis.


Note: Some people freak out when they read the part about carrying a certain amount of insurance. Please remember that this only applies to certain baby products, creams, food, you know, stuff you could get sued over!


What you get for your $1.33 per day membership:


Your very own storefront to make your product shine (tip: good quality photos make the best first impression)


The ability to upload a video from YouTube


The ability to link your Facebook Page to your Womentorz listing


The ability to go in and make changes (e.g., have a sale, change the pricing, description, add new photos, etc.) anytime you like


A special showcase on our blog complete with Q&A to allow everyone to get to know you and your product better and really, in the great words of Ro, "fluff your feathers".


Mel, myself and your fellow Womentorz members will all be all aTwitter about you along with our wonderful and talented PR team headed by Kat Spellman of The Spellman Co. She's got connections at every major network in the country including folks at O Magazine, The Today Show and more! When these media opportunities arise EVERYONE gets noticed.


You will be showcased on our Facebook Fan page where we currently have over 1,000 fans and counting.


Melinda has launched a major advertising campaign including a large front page ad on Tamara Monosoff's Mom Invented site! Not only is she very impressed with what we are doing, she contacted Melinda recently to tell her so and to find out how we can work together!


Note: We are currently receiving over one thousand visitors per day to the site.


Kat Spellman has been very successful in finding some incredible opportunities for our members. For instance, Amy Sapirstein's MommyMitten was just featured in Open Baby Magazine, a couple of other members have been featured this season in holiday gift guides and there is much more on the horizon. A couple of our members have also recently been offered licensing deals.


When you list your product on Womentorz you will instantly become part of a special group of women operating in the spirit of mutual cooperation, support and sharing of information. It's a "one for all and all for one" kind of attitude we're sportin' and we're proud of it!


What you will not get is a listing where you are competing with similar products, or being thrown in with hundreds or thousands of others hoping to be found!


I would challenge anyone to find ANY online marketplace who offers to work for you the way we will for $40 a month!


We are inventors just like you. We want to see you succeed. We are here for you.


If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail me directly at jcannon@womentorz.com


Thanks again Tracy!

We would like to wish all of you a happy and safe New Year! Here's to 2010....the year of Womentorz!
