Lisa has an impressive client list, which includes many corporations such as Service Lamp, Sylvania Lighting, and Westinghouse. She spearheads putting together campaigns to get companies and individuals on national shopping networks such as QVC selling out products in literally seconds in addition to helping clients get their products licensed and in retail stores.

Keeping the faith!! Believe in your product and have the determination it takes to succeed!!!

Join me and Lisa Ascolese,The Inventress for an enlightening episode on how to think more broadly about your product line so that you can get into more stores and more magazines. In this episode we share ideas on how to think differently about your line. For example, if you make a skincare line and have a serum or oil based product, consider pitching to mountain resorts where the air is dryer and women need more moisture in the products they purchase.You can take this idea a step further by pitching to wellness magazines and local magazines (in the resort town) as they are always looking for products that solve a problem. Many creators think to narrowly and don't see a bigger pitch for themselves. Take a look at your line and see how you can spin it into a new category, or a new sales channel.
