Villy Custom Bicycles on Shark Tank

Season 3 - Episode 13 - Update

Fleetwood Hicks and DeVille on Shark Tank Show

 Villy Customs has a successful story to tell like no other I have have covered on the Shark Tank thus far. The owner and inventor of the Villy Customs Bicycles, Fleetwood Hicks and his best friend and mascot Deville, have been on one wild ride in the past few years. What started out as renting a cruiser bicycle on a business trip soon developed into a full time opportunity that even Fleetwood could never imagined where it would take him. Villy Custom first began in 2008 as a pure play brick and mortar business that took Felt Cruisers and Hawk Classic Cruiser bikes and fitted them with stylish personalised accessories. The idea kept growing til the point you can now custom design your own bike with unlimited possibilities all from the comfort of your computer. (and now even on an I-Pad that was just reported on the Villy Customs Blog)

Flipzles

Flipzles - Shark Tank Contender?

 So what's it take to get on the Shark Tank Show? Is your idea good enough to get past the producers and get in front of the Sharks? There is a lot of very good ideas and unique inventions I run into on a daily basis and every once in a while one screams out that this needs to be on the Shark Tank Show.

I actually found Flipzles thanks to a comment that Vicki made on the "How To get On the Shark Tank Show" article. After reading her comment I just had to find out what a Flipzel is and why she doesn't think her product might not be good enough for the Sharks. Boy was I surprised.

What Is A  Flipzles?

You know it's actually kind of hard to explain to tell you the truth. In Vicki's own words

Blondie's Cookies

Blondie's Cookies on Shark Tank Show

Brenda "Blondie" Coffman - Season 3 - Episode 308 - 4/13/12

Re-Run Season 4 - 12/20/12 

 Now even the Sharks can't be so mean and tell their "on air" Grandma that they are not interested in a deal. Right? We'll when Brenda Coffman made her way into the Shark Tank she came prepared with some of the cookies that have made her famous. Her Grandmotherly charm came across as genuine as her cookies started to melt the sharks hearts, just a bit anyway. Coffman was asking $200k for a 3% stake which puts a valuation over $6.7 million on the cookie company.
She already has 12 stores in Indiana and Florida and did $2.3 million in total sales just last year alone. The problem is the expansion in Florida which is currently losing money. She has $800k in outstanding bank loans and desperately needs the Sharks help to bring Blondie's Cookies

View Sport Sweat Technology

Sweat Activated T-Shirts - Season 3 - Episode 308 - Update

 Making sweat equity pay off may not be as easy as it seems. When Ben Wood the inventor of  ViewSport, a sweat activated product for athletes, made his way into the Shark Tank, he had no idea what the Sharks were capable of when things go wrong. Having Wood's demonstration not activate the positive message hiding in the t-shirt didn't exactly help. Ben admitted after the show that he mistakenly sprayed the wrong side of the t-shirt which explains why it didn't work as planned. The technology is built into the t-shirt and works when activated by sweating.

Wood came up with the idea while in college working out. As he calls it "motivation through perspiration". Trying to control sweat marks on your clothing proved to be no easy task

Partie Poche

Partie Poche on Shark Tank

Shark Tank Holiday Special - Update

 I just don't get it. Two college student's that study businessagain put book smarts over street smarts. You're going on the hit TV show that's dedicated to "Business" and yet forgets some major key components that makes any business successful. If you want to be successful in ANYTHING that involves a consumer, the #1 rule is making it easy for your customers to find you. How many Party Poche pockets could they have sold just last night (regardless if they got a deal with the Sharks or not) by simply having a website that was easy to find?

They had $50k in the bank but chose not to get a functional website up and running? Even a simple free blog would of been much better then, we'll as far as I can find so far, nothing. The only Partie Poche website I could find is not even in this country, which incidentally has a very similar product.

Fat Ass Fudge on Shark Tank Christmas Special

So where does a name like Fat Ass Fudge come from? From one of the few people that could call you that and get away with it. When Donna McCue was celebrating her 60th birthday with all 7 of her brother's and sister's she made her famous fudge dating back to her Grandma's secret recipe. Her brother convinced Donna that she should sell her fudge and asked what she would call it. Without hesitation she says "I would probably name it after what you called me growing up, Fat Ass". The name stuck not because it will actually make your ass fat but because it hasRead More Here-->>>
