Soapsox Have Two Very Difficult Offers To Choose From | Shark Tank US | Shark Tank Global
/ @sharktankglobal
Good decision. They made a collaboration with Disney Baby and now their annual revenue is around $8million.
Oh wow, that's great news. They seem like good dudes so I'm glad they stuck to their guns and it ended up working out for the better.
@@Kingra5hid Exactly. Partnering with a Shark would have been nice. But, sometimes the best opportunities and decisions are the ones that come afterwards. Kudos to them for sticking to their guns and taking a chance elsewhere.
Good for them
I’m glad they knew what they had. Kevin’s criticism is ridiculous. The point isn’t that you can get a sponge for cheaper. You’re paying for your kids to look forward to bath time. That’s invaluable for parents. Parents would spend $50 for this if it actually works at getting kids excited.
Thats impressive
The sharks heavily underestimate what a parent will pay to make their lives easier while taking proper care of their child. $20 is nothing to make bathtime easier and more fun.
Exactly. I like all the sharks, but they're clueless when it comes to what average people are willing to spend. You can't get a quality plushie for $5 ... And this serves a purpose, it's not just sitting on some kid's bed. $20 is reasonable and I'd spend that on this.
Exactlyyyyyyyy
You can’t get something that’s soap up n scrub like that for 20$ they old n they trippin
I mean, that’s if you’re wealthy, what about us poor people? That’s a lot
There are millions of different bathtub toys. It's not exactly groundbreaking stuff.
If Kevin thinks that all other plushies are less than $6, he’s never been to the gift shop at Disney World
Everyone acts like Kevin is a greedy cold blooded shark, but he really does give good advise and tries to help people out. He's just brutally honest and doesnt sugar coat the truth like some of the other sharks do.
Hes greedy too hes mr.royalty
I honestly think that if you asked Kevin if he's a greedy cold blooded shark he'd say "absolutely, good for business"
After watching his channel i have much more respect for him. He's a normal chill dude who is passionate about money in all ways.
Exactly but people dont want the truth, they want to be flattered and reaffirmed.
I also noticed a lot of Kevin’s meat riders in every shark tank comment sections
Love to see entrepreneurs who know what they're worth and don't let themselves get steamrolled.
@Travel Crawl It's Daymond not Damon. Also, Robert rarely makes deals, so he should be replaced if anything.
@@yousufibrahim884 He meant Demon for entrepreneurs.
@@Lillie-qs3oo what?
@@yousufibrahim884Robert is fun tho, this is still a show for entertainment
They have no clue what they are worth! Ridiculous over-evaluation of their company.
Just looked at how they are doing now and I'm so freaking glad they didn't take these terrible deals lol
You gotta realize a big part of that is due to being on Shark Tank lol
@KingSwaggy that's part of the show, part of shark tank is publicity
Trailing 12 month revenue $760,000, where are you seeing good and what is your definition of good?
@@davidmcquaid7862 they made a deal with Disney and are doing billions in sales now
@davidmcquaid7862 a quick Google search for soapsox says they're valued at 6.2 million. Clearly was a good decision.
With the price of everything going up, $20 is the new $10.
That would mean their costs would've doubled too
@@brockd2363 Trump caused the inflation with his multiple stimulus checks tho Biden p much did nothing in the mass unload of money to the population
Facts lol 🤣
This was $20 in 2009. Stuff for $20 back in 2009 is like $50 now 🤣
@@whatlez its actually only equal to $27
You gotta love Kevin even though he was out he still stepped in to explain Daymond's offer
Kevin knows the children's toys space really well because that was how he got rich in the first place
@@wertytrewqa u right , it's just misleading
@@wertytrewqa Yeah but he was wrong. This company is in partnership with Disney Baby.
@@noelr1010 yea selling for 9.99$ like he said they need to do.
@@noelr1010 How is Kevin wrong? Soapsox did take his advice and lower the price. They are selling at $11.99 which consider the inflation over the past few years they are pretty on mark with Kevin's pricing of $9.99 at the time
when it comes to baby products, parents usually don't care about whether it's 19.99 or 9.99. It's all about the quality.
This isn’t just for kids. I’m well in my 20’s and I’m immediately going to buy me a sea turtle. Good job guys!
oh my gosh so cute.
Lmao!!
not at that price
The fact they wanted to buy them out seems like they under cut them because they didnt want to work with these guys but knew it was a profitable idea
it may seem like that because of the way they edited the pitch. there’s so much information that we don’t know and didn’t hear, this pitch could’ve been an hour or longer for all we know, and we see less than ten minutes of it.
No more like they could easily get do everything to avoid competition and get approved parents etc. The risk that these guys had at the time could easily be solved by them but they probably didn't see the worth of putting all that money for a small percentage. They probably also wanted to tons different route with it than the guys did.
I love how disconnected the sharks are sometimes. Plush for 5 dollars? Good looking plushes like that are always 20-30 dollars
Of course you can get cheap one like carnival animals stuffed with styrofoam beads and super thin cloth. But something’s that’s high quality and has a sponge inside is not worth just $5 at minimum I would say $15 but yeah they are not with the program 😂
Bruv it's a very old episode now inflation has caused the price to be higher at that time it was different. Also it was 2017 or 2018 not 2022.
This is like 2017-2018 not 2022
@@samst7974 bruv y u copying me?
@@sanyam8809 wow sorry i didn’t know you had a patent on words
They sell the product for around 12.99$ now and are making millions partnering with Disney 🤣
Plus they are all uP in the corporate bubble and free to pitch any and all items they shall create
Uuuuu. What a episode. Goosebumps…
They are really true dream chasers and innovaters.
Good try Lori and Robert. If sharks willing to pay 1M for whole company, you should know you invented something atleast 5X more valuable than that.
And i just found out company has 15M$ networth currently. Good job guys 🎉
If they wanted Daymond they should’ve countered $260,000 for 25%…
@@Copypastedates I was thinking the same, but they weren't willing to give up that much equity and they were set on the valuation, because they countered the 15% at $360,000.
Goosebumps ? lol okay bro...
@@Copypastedates Eh, that's still way more than they were looking to give away. Like Ted Bat said, if 2 sharks were willing to pay $1M, then it's obviously a fantastic idea. Better to shop around for a better offer. The sharks are just 5 out of a sea of investors.
@@yousufibrahim884 I love how we've all seen so much of the show that we have the exact same thoughts on what to counter offers with.
Good on them for declining both offers, they were horrendous and so greedy. I thought the aim was to get their investment back and make a little money and actually help entrepreneurs. I would pay $20 for one and other mothers will too.
I was totally nodding my head like for sure I would drop $20 on that to make my kids bath. All moms would!! 😂
Sure people would buy it for that much but that's not the point. If someone else sells something similar for cheaper than they've lost the battle
I think what they didn't realize, this was more than a simple plush toy. It was both a plush + scrub toy for children, any parent would be willing to pay $20 for a good plush. They had so many avenues to take this, amusement parks, etc. build up a collab with famous cartoons, etc. They had a TON of growth, and glad to see that they're doing well now. I do think they also underestimated that a parent will spend $20 for their baby, it's a baby product.
In reality they screwed up big. After a year the 1/3 that they refused to give up would have quadrupled their value. Everything isn't always about the feels and Lori made a good point. These guys are creators, but they got hung up on their creation.
@@covertyankee Well, SoapSox's net worth is now $15M. Not sure it would be quadruple that with a shark, so I think they came out further ahead in the long run by shopping around for a better deal from an investor.
Barbara was in the bath that day. She got out, called soapsox and told them, she‘s out.
HAHA
Wow. The eye rolls from the sharks. 🤦♀️🤦♀️Their offers were outrageous! I’m glad they walked.
Daymond’s facepalm after Mark’s “lathered up” statement is TOP tier 😂
5:00
I thought it was very mid-tier. Top is pushing it
He really did the Picard facepalm
I thought 20 was a great price, it's not just a bath sponge it is a toy too, and it's "cute" they did good by declining because they are doing good now. Great job on they're part !!!
Particularly at Nordstrom, its a nice Christmas or Birthday gift or even for a baby shower.
The product is great, no doubt but 20 USD is high
Good for them. 33% was nuts, and Kevin's out of his mind to say that parents wouldn't drop $20 to spare themselves from months / years of fighting over bath time
If you love your child, price is no object. $19.99 is not that much to get your child to take a bath. It's a great concept. Don't sell yourself short. The sharks know it. Damon knows it. Look at him, his heart was pounding for the acceptance.
exactly, people tend to spend a lot of money on their children
Some people don’t have $20 just to give on a plush with the price of everything going up not everyone is living middle class or above so yeah $20 is steep $10 is more reasonable to all markets
@@litodat233 it's also a great gift from grandparents or aunts/uncles. $20 is not that bad and easily be a birthday/holiday present. You have to see beyond the parents, many of whom would pay that much - I would
$20 isn’t a bad price. I think $10 too low. I think $14.99 would be a great price. But when it comes to making a parents life easier and making your children. A couple dollars doesn’t matter.
Most people think Kevin is a greedy shark but when you listen to his advice it's actually good.
Whenever he offers royalties, he just wants his money back asap but the equity side is still low so, it's still a win win situation.
No but you have to give a huge amount of money for every good sold you have to pay him a fee .even if he went for the equity he would get a percentage on the return royalty can result in liquid issues
Except they didn't make a mistake by not accepting Damon's offer. They kept the third he wanted and went on to be successful.
this feels like a pr comment made around the same time ftx happened...
Sure enough theyre selling on their website for $12
Never get a royalty. If you can't pay it back he brings you to court
This is an old episode from season 6. They stuck to their positions on not taking a deal with the sharks. They made smart decision and Soapsox is doing well and generates $10 million a year now.
Mr wonderful must not do much stuffed animal shopping . They are expensive
Yep! Very expensive! My squishmallow turtle was 80$
Hiya Mega Lou, I’m always able to know the year of the episode by the chairs the Sharks sit on. This episode was in 2014. A lots changed in market price since.
@@Boristhebulletdodger86 great observation and point . I have to say however stuffed animals have always been pricier. I remember shopping for my kids 10 years ago thinking damnnn stuffed animals are ridiculously expensive .
@@megalou6567 dang! Now that you say that-is that why that little prize arcade game with the claw you control to grab the stuffed animals is rigged to never let anyone win. Haha. Those cotton things are expensive. Hehe. Cheers Lou, have a great rest of the year.
this is also from an old episode, possible a decade ago now
I've seen small plush animals in stores costing a lot more money than what they're asking for their stuffed animal that can turn bath time into a fun time for children.
I'm glad they declined both offers. Good for them.
Omg Lori proposing a million dollar for the entire company was insane
I like them. If I had kids, I'd buy one. I didn't think the price was so bad, they look good quality.
@@LukaL145 Duh... do you feel fulfilled regurgitating what they already said?
Everything is made cheaper and sold for more.... are you new to the show? That's how things work. What I said stands.
@@LukaL145 not including shipping to stores and they also need to make profit too
"You should have gotten a donkey for Mark" 💀💀
If they offered $1million , they saw at least a $5million dollar potential.
Bet! So true if not way more!!
The company is making $8 Million a year. So, they've succeeded big time. I'm happy for them
I would have given them 90% of the company for that much. At least keep the 10%
For some thse offers would have been THE path! These two were a step above, had the knowledge, background to take it somewhere else, and they did and are doing great!
They are sooooooooo sweet and got soooooo nervous
Back when Daymond used to make offers.
He still doed
@Travel Crawl The earliest year it can be is 2011. That's season 3 (or later) because that was the first season when Lori appeared.
Word has it that after the first two seasons Daymond had gotten burned and lost so much money that he began using more restrstraint with his funding and more conservative in his investment managements.
It’s funny because this already existed back in the 90’s, just without the animals. They were little pouches for a bar of soap though, meant to be used exactly the same way.
I’ve actually seen a few products come to shark thank that are basically “reboots,” of older products.
Everything’s a remix - Steve Jobs
“Just without the animals” … So it’s not the same product at all
I remember those commercials, it was to keep you from dropping the soap lol.
Yeah that's totally different though those were for adults. Kids can be impossible and if this happens to help it could be life changing.
Ever heard of the word innovation?
Seems like a product that is viable for a change. I read below that they're doing well. Loved the specific choices and their explanations for each of their original
styles, and to which shark they belonged. Pleasant, professional presentation too.
Finally a new episode 😭
If Sharks ever want to buy out your business they know it's good.
Really wise decision they made. Because sharks liked the products and they were taking advantage of their need for money and a good partnership.
Donkey for Mark and Marks gesture was too funny 🤣 these guys are awesome
rule of thumb for the sharks , get a deal with every damn sponge that walks through the door 😂 this company’s is doing amazing now
This is actually a good product. No joke
Being a mother of a 2 year old… i am on the website now with 3 different animals in my cart ready to purchase thanks!
the best bit was the two guys were totally in sync no doubt between them that's good partners
If entrepreneurs decline an offer on shark tank then that usually means someone on the other side is going to make an offer for sure. Shout out to Shark Tank!
good for the Soapsox team for standing their ground - the summary sentence of this whole pitch was -
for the first time i am doing something for myself
thats really truly awesome and wish every success - btw its a superb product and an amazing story behind it
“ most i’ve seen for a plush toy in my life” he’s clearly blind to squishmallows 😂😂
I guess Mr. Wonderful forgot about webkinz when he says that the first plush toy he’s ever seen lol for 20 bucks
With the huge margins, they should have counter offer with a royalty deal until say 400k is paid back + 10% share. Maybe even Kevin would have jumped back in!
thats a good answer to roberts "i get the pink hippo?"
$5 for stuffies? A regular one goes for minimum $20.
Can’t believe there isn’t a million of these already
Mark “you know.. people would pay for that” me automatically “l would.”
Right decision and great product! No problem with the price point! Hope they are doing well 🎉🎉
They're being sold at Macy's, Walmart, Amazon. And their price is $13.00. At least they kinda listened to Kevin.
I just read an article that said they're current worth is an estimated 15 million
Wow, before liquid soap my granny used to sew a face washer in half and put all the small bits of unused soap into it to use in the shower. Granted not a toy for $20 but it worked with no soap wasted.
It's great that these guys are still doing well, especially since their prices are now around the $10 range 'cos I thought $20 was too high.
I know they dropped the price but if this got kids to bathe, $20 isn't much IMO
Lived in holland and they have various wash hands, translated. Put the soap into the wash cloth / hand . Fantastic. This product has more pluses. It’s a great gift
Loved the idea. The cost was a bit too high. But they nailed it!
the ending facial reactions from the sharks are so fake its funny. LOL
I think I'm caught up now. I've seen every video except this one and I'm watching it now lol.
the specific sharks per personality was smart complementing each of their positive traits.
The fact Kevin has never seen a stuffed animal over $20 proves that the man hasn’t walked into a store and just looked around in 30-40 years.
_Damn, they went above the 🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈 and straight to da 🐁!!_
I am hundred 100% sure that Mark reaction is edited in from some other place.
Mark is normally respectful. And appreciate people standing their ground
Damn a lot of respect for these two guys. I hope u guys find success without these sharks. Respect!!
I would definitely pay to lather Zaddy Cuban up! LOL!
They got a Paw Patrol license now. $9.99 at Target for generic animal. GREAT decision.
Kevin looked perplexed after the demonstration!
Wow, Kevin is wonderful after all...
Price wasn’t bad at all. Quality looks good and it’s a product that does more then a stuffed animal
Love the content just hate how I watched an ad to watch this video then only 1 minute and 5 seconds in I got another ad
good decision, it's so clear that product would make money 😭 they just wanted it all to themselves
It's a carwash mitt!
Greetings, I am from the future, the year is 2036 and I just purchased a plush for $89.95!
Man, where is that Time Machine!
Smart move. $2.6M doesnt buy a house in Eagle Rock.
"Didn't spend much time with my wife's high school friend up until i got married"
Oh no..
lol
I looked online and some of these are now selling for around 10$, so that's pretty good I guess
The universe commanded those guys to decline so we could appreciate the face of mark
this is such an awesome product, im surprised they didnt get more offers
did anyone else notice their counteroffer brings them at higher valuation, 350k for 15% when original was 260k for 10%?
No 15% should be 390 at same valuation.
Smart decision!! Hope they succeed!!
They did.
Yeah they got in with Disney baby and you already know once it’s got that Disney tag it money in the bank. About 8 million a year I believe
that was a big minnow, why did you let it get away?
These two guys are one of the weirdest duos ive ever seen 😂
My favorite sharks are, of course, first one Mr. Wonderful, who is absolutely woderful, Mark, Daymond, Lori and Barb.
kevin by far has the best sense of humor and wit compared to everyone else
So all of them? Besides that one guy
a little reality check often puts people on short notice , hey maybe wake up. I was talking to the other guy .
Annual revenue $8 million now, last valuation at $6.2 million. Licensing deal with Disney baby and Paw Patrol.
😂😂😂 Where has anyone seem a stuffed toy for $4-5? Most stuffed animals are $10-20 already unless they are crap.
Kevin will always say “If you don’t take his deal you’re making a big mistake” because Kevin’s deals are always ridiculous compared to everyone else 😅
Squishmallows are like $40
I don't understand the name.
They really be playing that good shark bad shark role
Lori Basically said She can't sell them on QVC so she's Out Lol
Personally, I also would like to see Mark lathered up
Smart move…don’t give up your company
These guys schooled the sharks.
Dude the intro makes them seem like a couple
Sharks get really greedy. 1M to buy out a company that's on track to hit 600k in a year? They tried to play that "you're innovators" aka you're not businessman capable of growing this. Glad to see that things worked out for them and Disney.
Kevin is always looking out for the entrepreneurs. He interrupts before they insult Daman
Good quality and fun Characters. Nice to have a stuffy that can go in the bath.
when mark said "oh lord" lmao
They should have suggested a loan deal for a lower amount of equity
I've never seen Lori roll her eyes like that lol
