This is a lesson that just by pretending something is premium makes it premium

[@robinabernathy2829]

So much of sales is perception anyway. Even selling your way into a relationship is about doing whatever it takes to boost your perceived value.

[@Justakidthatrantsisapimp]

I mean... if it looks premium and the sharks say it feels premium, what else is it?

[@stevetucker7230]

Marketing is everything

[@baxoutthebox5682]

In fashion, yes, but not in most markets.

[@zaidahmed9527]

All that and netted £32k 😂
Revenue is vanity, profit is sanity, cash is reality...

[@noelr1010]

She's lucky they only asked for 25% for 2 sharks. 1M+ and only 32k net is crazy!

[@michman2]

As of 8/23 from ST Blog, the deal didn't close, but she is very successful adding 10,000sf and sales reps.

[@rocketrider1405]

I can’t believe people buy stuff like this.

[@liberalslayer9831]

She's making a damn good living from it.

[@vivs9314]

There’s a reason why people pay for many brand names even though most of the quality is mediocre. People will pay high prices to look rich and for the “premium” quality.

[@davidwolfe7777]

I spent thousands on these products 😂😂😂

[@Champ2x]

This is awesome. Reversible jacket that looks good. I’m sure they can make it even better and turn it into multi millions.

[@Justakidthatrantsisapimp]

​@@Champ2x That's what I was thinking. I'm so baffled at these comments trashing the product. It's cool as hell.

[@Yeahgirlsophie]

Loris wig line..😭😭

Mark “Thats Pretty Cool” Cuban

The cape and the vest on the mannequins look great. I think not as many people would pay that much for a blanket (though they would make great gifts for rich people) but a wide range of people would easily pay that much for outerwear if it looks good. Not sure about young people not being into faux fur. It was so weird of her to not thank her when she went out though. Things come around again and again. Faux fur vests were around a handful of years ago. The owner should not go around talking about how it feels like real mink though. People don't want to make that connection in their mind. They just like the feeling of furriness.

[@thepostman9664]

Pretty useful in remote Alaska !!

[@jannewlove725]

I'd be embarrassed to say on national tv to my customers " it costs $290 to customer but $30 to me" What??!! Even with overhead, etc.... a bit greedy.

[@robinabernathy2829]

S.S General Slocum. A riverboat that burned and sank in the New Jersey river a long time ago and is forgotten in history.

[@liberalslayer9831]

What the hell are you talking about? Are you on Hunter Biden's drugs? Did you give Joe Biden 10% of the drugs you bought from Hunter Biden?

[@user-bc7lb9kp7l]

Might feel great… but. I wouldn’t spend that kind of money on a blanket. All the best!

[@sciencehistoryandentertain734]

i was thinking $100 is a fair price not 220 to 300...when you are making it for $30....

[@reddragon8609]

So he is the PIRATE KING?

[@ifeanyiojo]

Okay friend, you know yourself...

[@Skillpointer10]

Why do you guys always upload the same pitches?

[@sciencehistoryandentertain734]

because i never saw it...For people that have not seen it...

[@manicq5328]

Anyone else hate the sound guy?

[@baxoutthebox5682]

Nothing wrong with it on the show just the uploads

[@smoothmicra]

Moral of the tale? Just put it out there. Somebody will buy it. You have to know the idi*ot market though.
Like the guys selling the trading apps. Bottom feeding will generate cash. 👍

[@sciencehistoryandentertain734]

25% tariffs from China..... i hear 100% tariffs are coming...Not sure if it is for cloth materials...

[@officialJOY1229]

Not my style.

[@thomaskim5008]

Poor people buy them which is why they are poor.

40s? I thought she was in her 20s

[@adrianishtar0]

Are you kidding?

[@mac-mystic]

@@adrianishtar0 I am indian and white people look younger to me 😅 especially those who dress like her

[@Nab-rc2dv]
