Chris and Kevin brought their company and product, SneakERASERS, to
Bring your shoes back to life! Whether you are a sneaker enthusiast or simply want to clean your shoes to give them a clean new look, our Overnight Soak is the product you've been looking for!
The unique design of the sponge is a convenient and portable way to keep shoes looking clean and sleek. All of the sharks take a moment to try out the product, and they’re impressed with how well it works.
A 3 pack of sponges retails for $9.99, and it costs the company $1.98 to produce. They say they sell a 1 pack at over 2,000 Walmart stores for $3.99 MSRP.
With such a useful product, the two guys are more than happy to share that they sold $1.1 million worth of products year-to-date at the time of the episode. Even better, they are expecting to close out the year with $1.8 million in sales.
They’re a boost in sales because of their deals with big-box retailers rolling out their products nationwide. However, the two still feel like a shark is necessary to help them with their margins, as well as marketing and advertising strategies.
Kevin O’Leary is impressed, so he offers $200,000, for 15% equity. However, the guys state that it’s too much equity for them to give up.
At this point, guest shark Alex Rodriguez asks how he can help the company move from good, to great. They respond by sharing that they have two other related brands of sponges. One is for golf clubs and the other is for car detailing.
These are already selling in big box stores and they want help in launching those brands more successfully.
With that, Barbara Corcoran drops out, recognizing that the guys are inventors, and she doesn’t work well with inventors.
Lori Greiner on the other hand, says she loves inventors, so she and Alex partner up with an offer of $200,000 for 20% equity.
However, Mark Cuban also throws his hat into the ring, saying that he has a completely different idea for how SneakERASERS can blow up.
According to Mark, SneakERASERS will be better off partnering with shoe companies. To make this happen, Mark offers to invest $200,000 for 12.5% equity.
They counter Mark back, asking for $300,000 for 10% equity, and he immediately goes out. That’s when they accept the deal with Lori and Alex.
