The Inventors Fair at the Florida State Fair has been off the hook for generating consumer reaction to our innovations! A special thanks to all who have come out to show fair goers the kinds of innovations we have developed at TBIC! And now that we have publicly launched our products, how do we capitalize on it and market our solutions? That will be the topic for our next meeting this Wednesday, Feb 22nd.
