OUR PRESENTATION

Our presentation may not be the “be all, end all” of presentations but it worked for us.  We are happy to share the format that we used.  Feel free to copy the format for your invention, if you so desire. 

Page 1

  The first page just had the name of our product centered in large lettering (font 36) about a third of the way down the page.  After the name of our product we put the “TM” to show that we were claiming the trademark for the name we had chosen, Ghostline.  (We were later granted a registered trademark for the name Ghostline).

  The second page was as follows:

  What is GHOSTLINE?

  It is the poster board with the patented “ghosted” grid.  It is ready to use immediately.  No measuring!  No drawing lines!  And, best of all, once there is writing or drawing on the board the lines seem to disappear!

  It is the poster board that allows you to spend your time working on the project. . . not getting the poster board ready for use.  Think of the time and energy it saves!

  How does GHOSTLINE work?

  1.      It makes lettering quick and easy because the user does not have to measure and draw lines before starting a project.

  1. The lines are easy to see up close for lettering or drawing but virtually disappear once there is writing or drawing on the board.

Etc. etc. etc.

  What’s in it for Carolina Pad? 

  (Carolina Pad is the name of the manufacturer we were making this presentation to.  You should make a separate presentation for each potential licensee and insert their company name in the appropriate places.)

       ·        Profit!

·        Customers will choose to buy their poster board from Carolina Pad in order to get Ghostline once they have been introduced to it.

·        A low profit item can be turned into a profitable one.  Ghostline lifts poster board out of the commodity category.  With Ghostline, poster board will have brand name appeal.

·        In addition to poster board, Carolina Pad can apply the Ghostline grid to many other items such as display board, flip charts, tablets, stationery, art papers, foam core boards and enhance their value also.

And, it is patent protected!  Carolina Pad will hold exclusive rights to produce Ghostline.
