This is glorified drop shipping. She did not develop this film camera. It is available from Chinese manufacturers for pennies, and while it is successful this is purely because of marketing, NOT THE PRODUCT.
It won't last. That's why big brands stopped investing in it. I guarantee this deal didn't finish after the show. Young people are not going to keep loading film when there's a much easier way to take a picture. This is like trying to bring the type writer back.
Typical Drop shipping problem, you start with big sell for the novelty then you invest all the money buying more stock and then sell go down and you have all your stock left that you can’t sell and then you start investing more in advertising
So you have to take pictures for example on a night out and then still go find a place to print/produce them after? On top of that you must carry this camera around the whole night? If I am missing something, please enlighten me. Our smartphones of today are so much easier and convenient with high quality pictures to print whenever
almost nobody is the target market. This idea is like "yknow how people really love vinyl records and sometimes pay LOTS of money for them? Well what if we made cheap chinese knockoffs of rare vinyl records and sold them for the same price, amazing profit!" dodgy fly-by-night venture capitalist, makes sense they love her so much
Also, looked at her prices online and 2 films with a camera are $159AUD. Ridiculous. Not to mention it's not a digital camera so you have to get developed. Kids will not like this at all.

This might be the dumbest idea for a product in history of this show. It has literally nothing new.. its an old camera with a little bit of paint on it. Her not being able to directly answer the money-question is proof that this is the titanic and she‘s trying to cash off.
when you consider the massive comeback vinyl albums has made, its not that dumb. People have nothing knew in the way of ideas and are looking back and revisiting nostalgia.
@@Yessirdo it probably went viral for some IG "influencers" and they sold a couple batches of it and made money. Lets see if they have sales in 2-3 years.
I have to give it to her for going for it. But she didn't know her numbers or anything going forward. Definite room to grow but she is young. Also, the idea is an old idea. Not original at all. It's a Kodak camera.
I have a Kodak film camera and when I take it to the film shop they can also offer me the physical photos or scans to my email/gdrive, what's the difference? Am I missing something 😅?
I admire her for seeing an opportunity and capitalising on it. She is an incredible operator. But with no differentiation whatsoever this product has no staying power. It will be copied from coast to coast, and the margins will be crashed. Without a major pivot I can't see it existing in 2 years' time
@@humanbeing8400She means that she understands the branding side which is the Gen z side. (All the social media and trends aspects) That part is where the other brands fall short on
credible? Really? I've got a bridge to sell you. She forgot to mention the fact that the reason that vintage cameras sell so well on facebook is because they ARE vintage, not cheap chinese knockoffs
@04:30 Did anyone else laugh at how ridiculously overdramatic the music was after the simple question: "Why do you only have 10 percent margins?"?
It was like the finale to Star Wars just before the Death Star blew up. Crazy! :)
jesus i thought madi was about to drop dead
Literally every other film camera is "reloadable," is much cheaper, and not drop shipped garbage from China.
I think the music is a little dramatic 🤔

I even thought about this! She's in the branding business.
Customers value experience.
Well she is knows about branding and marketing she is doing well at it targeting the younger generation that wants to use for social media etc..

@@User-is2kf oh yes absolutely, but it’s a costly endeavour. it doesn’t exist without so much marketing
Since it’s so easy you should do it.
How does anyone dare to say they "developed" a product when the only thing they do is to rebrand a product sold by Chinese manufacturers?
yeah she "developed" the online sale order to the manufacturer. That was one of her hardest work days of the year!
She's just taking advantage of young people who never seen this type of camera. Other day i saw a new Polaroid in wal mart
Really crap camera with every inconvenience imaginable. Cheap Fady rip-off. IM OUT !!
tells u a lot about the mind of Gen Z, they are the customers.
I am in the twilight now or in back to the future. She is really pitching an easy camera ?
wrong, unlike an easy camera, this costs $159AU
Sorry, I'm not going back to having to go to a store and pay for printing out my photos. Doesn't make sense to me except for a novelty or nostalgia.
This really is the absolute worst thing I have ever seen on any version of Shark Tank. And the people buying these for $100 are absolutely mental.

Her numbers say kids like it. It rode a trend after the pandemic especially in my demographic and she capitalised extremely well on it.
Davey always thinks everyone reminds him of himself
that's what narcissist's do

The younger ones were like what is this.
Davey “how do you open it?”
The Background Music is So ANNOYING!
Stop trying to make things seem dramatic when there is nothing dramatic about his show.
Hah exactly, it’s a little ott at times.
It’s like key and peele.
The dramatic background music 💀

Sales don’t lie people want to buy it

But Portable cameras like this exist by the Millions. U think China doesn't have these? @@theblackflame4002
True, but people buy all kinds of stupid things. Remember when someone was Selling rocks online @@Yessirdo
@@Yessirdo it probably went viral for some IG "influencers" and they sold a couple batches of it and made money.

I prefer this new version of Shark Tank Australia.
Agree
Old version had some serious sharks here Robert holds all the weight
old version none of the sharks had ecommerce experience@@PharmacyAve
Ilford and Kodak have cheaper alternatives. This won't last.
WOW! What a great young woman! Respect.
I have to give it to her for going for it. But she didn't know her numbers or anything going forward. Definite room to grow but she is young. Also, the idea is an old idea. Not original at all. It's a Kodak camera.
Where would you get the cameras film developed in Australia?
Kmart
Harvey norman
Nice idea, but why would anyone buy that cheaply made film camera when a Polaroid is more fun and instant. I could be wrong but doubt it
Karen
Sales don’t lie. Market has spoken.
Ppl will buy anything because of the Hype. lol, this is nothing new and there is competition everywhere @@Burgermuscle
@@Burgermuscle Gimmicks sell, they don't last.
Polaroid is $1 a picture..and garbage quality
I have a Kodak film camera and when I take it to the film shop they can also offer me the physical photos or scans to my email/gdrive, what's the difference? Am I missing something 😅?
Prob the best pitch ever
Super impressive Madi. Rock on! :D
The 'background' music was horrendous.
Amazing work Madi
What happened to any of the old sharks.
Yeah. I was wondering the same.
Can they replace the green lantern lady.... Hmmm
Is Robert on us and aussie shark tank shows?
Yes
Yes.
wow she's smart and pretty, good for her!
Well, this is not real, where is tge follow up?

The green dress has a broom?
In Sweden, this has existed for several years and is used for parties etc. Don't understand how she got 2 dragons.
Just don’t get why I would go take film to go get development into photos in this age
She's such a credible entrepreneur clearly knows her numbers , she's so much deserves it well done
credible? Really? I've got a bridge to sell you. She forgot to mention the fact that the reason that vintage cameras sell so well on facebook is because they ARE vintage, not cheap chinese knockoffs
She makes more than a doctor at 23 haha nice
Even more than Dr Dre?
Maybe some. The company has tiny margins.
It's pronounced Gen Zed.
No AI so simply I'm out!
Why the US why not the others
Feels like a fad product category
The process of going to a Developer and getting ur pics is not the way to the future.
it's a gimmick
It’s reusable unlike others. I like this and can’t wait to use one
Congratulations to Andrew tate.
Lol
Okay. So I’m not the only one that thought that.
she looks like young Kim Kardashian
Here go the genZ, buckle up for this groundhog season
what’s robert doing on here lop
She is very impressive and very pretty 😍
I don't get it, lol. Some technologies should stay in the past lol
Why are the new sharks so fake? I don’t know even Robert is acting kinda weird compared to us version
Fair play, what a great watch! She is gorgeous too btw...
Camera for rich gen z ers
lol
Lmao... it's a camera... nothing new
Who's the dj playing music on this video? It's so irritating
Talk about wife material! OMG.
Boring...
.....Wait, Hold TF On. Upload To IG? WE OUT HERE TAKING PICTURES OF PICTURES TO POST ON SOCIAL MEDIA NOW BRUH? pathetic.
