I completely agree with Angela… The “sharks” are a relic of the misguided old school of business (the one that led to this economic downturn BTW). “Where’s the $$?” and then “But, where’s the $$??” Clearly they did not get that your great idea with some thoughtful marketing and PR could accelerate what you are doing 100x.

I have led marketing efforts for companies like Palm, TiVo and Apple, and can tell you that you have something many companies lack and can NOT buy…products people can love. It is rare to hear “I love my Dell”, but not “I love my Mac.” You have lovable products and with proper exposure will have an amazing business on your hands. So stick with it and stay true to the nature of what you have built! My wife bought some items from your store after seeing the show, and is already pondering what to buy as holiday gifts.

Good luck and get a stellar PR person QUICK!!

Honestly, I was skeptical when your spot began, but when we saw the umbrella, I realized you may have much more to offer than the sharks could see.

When we saw the imprinting flip flops my daughter and I literally stood up and CLAPPED for the great idea you had. This is a HUGE opportunity that the Sharks overlooked.

I can EASILY envision your products in ALL of the inspirational retail catalogs that come to my house everyday. I know soon my vision will become reality!

You keep going, girl. You’ve got a mission…stay on it!!

Hi GIna, Caught the Shark Show. What greedy little pigs they are. Karma is a bitch and they will get theirs in the end. Keep up the good karma. Looking forward to your website getting back online.

Love,
Manoj

Hi Marie -

Thanks for the post! Sorry for the slow reply…things have been BUSY since the show! : )
The flip flops are carried at Talulah Belle in Lakewood (near the Lakewood theater and Legal grounds coffee shop)

I loved your idea and unlike the Sharks I believe that somewhere behind every business started is passion and soul. I live in Austin TX and would love to buy a lot of your merchandise for friends and family. I think that you can be successful. Being a success is not always measured in monetary means.
I look forward to your website being up again so that I can place my order.
Please don’t ever stop what you are doing. You touched me last night as well as I’m sure you touched millions. Stay strong!

I too saw your cute products on the ‘telly’ and thought you had a great idea. there is enough of the negative people day to day and the ’shark tank’ chewing you up is just proof of that. keep your spirits up — and it is obvious to me that you were meant to spead joy in this world. thank you for doing so.
now, how do i order your flip flops?
: )
Do you have a store in Dallas?

You go girl. I like the idea as a business. Personally I thought they were too hard on you. It’s taks heart to make that energy go. Sharks Tank is from the old energy system. If I had money, I would seriously invest in your business, but for now I’m going to order something. I love the idea and it’s right in tune with what the universe wants. You Go Girl! Love it!

Just watched you on the show, they sure were closed minded about your company. I’m glad to find your website down due to so much traffic, I hope you get more sales than you can shake a stick at, you sell good stuff for a good reason.

I wish the best for you and your business!

Gina~
You made such a wonderful presentation on Shark Tank! I am the mother of four (and within a week…FIVE) children and I would LOVE to purchase some of your items! I have 2 girls who would go CRAZY over your “inspirella ‘brella” (I hope I said that correctly) and I, myself, am a graduate student working on my doctorate and I can tell you….when my girlfriends see your stuff….well, let’s just say the sharks will be sorry!! ;o)

I’d love to be able to check out your items……can’t wait till your website is up and running again!

Be blessed and be a blessing!
