Hey guys, I've dabbled in a few different aspects of creating businesses and have failed and learned quite a bit (with a few successes here and there).
One thing that I have not yet done is create a product and actually have it manufactured.
My family has had this little doohickey-prototype-invention for years now (made from an old kitty litter bucket) which is essentially a different take on a beach bucket. They've recently decided that they want to go ahead and get a few of their buckets manufactured to test the market (Beach Season is about to EXPLODE at the Jersey Shore) and have recruited me to do a little research for them.
My question to you guys is - Is there a better way to go about finding a manufacturer other than just typing "Plastic Manufacturers in Northern New Jersey" into google?
I don't necessarily mind going through all the listings and calling every manufacturer to see how they can help me through the process, but if there is an easier way or some search engine dedicated to finding established manufacturers in your area I'd obviously love to know about it.
Thanks guys,
Sean
