Frequently Asked Questions

How can IdeaCue work for my business if it doesn't know what attributes make sense for our product line?

IdeaCue comes preloaded with a number of idea suggestions that cut across many industries, in addition, often looking at ideas that you don't feel relate to what you do can result in revolutionary results. In addition, IdeaCue is meant to be customized for you, by you. All of the idea databases in IdeaCue are completely customizable, so you can add and delete whatever idea suggestions you feel are right for your business.

What if I buy IdeaCue and don't come up with any new ideas?

Buying a graphics program doesn't make you an artist and buying a word processing program does not make you a better writer. IdeaCue is not intended to substitute for creative thinking but to enhance the brainstorming process. With some imagination and customization, IdeaCue will be a useful tool when brainstorming for ideas either individually or in a group setting.

Do you have a Mac version?

No. IdeaCue runs on Windows 2000 and XP only.

I want to put IdeaCue on each product managers PC, can I buy multiple licenses?

Yes - we encourage using IdeaCue with many staff members. To that end, multiple license purchases are available at 50% off of list. So if you buy 1 download the cost is $50 - if you buy two licenses the cost is also $50 ($25 each), if you buy three the cost is $75, etc.

Is IdeaCue only for product manufacturers? I'm in the service industry, will it work for me?

Yes, because the IdeaCue database is completely customizable it will work for any industry, regardless of whether its manufacturing or service industries.

We do our own thinking around here, we don't need software to help us.

Okay. Do you ever look at competitors products as a source for new ideas? Do you ever look at trade magazines to get new ideas? IdeaCue is just another source for inspiration.

We've bought other brainstorming and creative thinking software such as IdeaFisher and ThoughtPath and they really haven't helped us - they don't seem to feed us any information that is relevant.

IdeaCue works differently than either of those competitive products - it is not a word association program or a thought mapping or tracking program, its an idea 'flashcard' framework that flashes ideas at you on a random basis, plus its completely customizable. In addition, IdeaCue has a concept analysis tool that none of the competitive products have.
