Have a great idea, but lack the $99 to submit it to Quirky? Well, the days of forking over big bucks to give your product a chance to be produced are long gone.

That’s right, as we announced in last week’s Town Meeting, we’re slashing the submission fee for new product ideas from $99 to just $10, starting with submissions for Product 0059.

“But wait!” you say. “Why would Quirky go and do something doggone crazy like that?”

The answer is simple. We are in the business of bringing the best product ideas to market, and we realized that the $99 fee was getting in the way of surfacing those ideas. We have high hopes that this price cut will increase both the quantity and quality of ideas submitted.

And that’s not the only change. You’ll also note that this week you’ll have not two, but NINE days for product evaluation. That’s a full additional week to vote, rate, and comment on all the great ideas in the running to be Quirky’s next product.

Remember: we’re counting on you to help us identify this week’s top 5 ideas. Don’t let us down; vote for what you truly believe are the best product ideas.

To product 58!
