June 2021 US Restock
More than 13,000 requests for restock notifications and only 1,200 SlumberPods for our website — this was what we faced when we received our inventory in June. We recognized we had a major difference between the demand and the inventory.
The backstory
We must place the order with our factories 4-5 months in advance of when we hope to receive the product. So, when we placed the inventory order for June much earlier in the year, we had to forecast the demand during summer.
June 2021 Canada Restock
Similar to the US, we ordered three times more inventory for Canada than what we sold last year during this time. The good news in Canada was we had more inventory than people signed up to be notified, but we still sold out in only a matter of days. We also received this particular restock six weeks late.
July 2021 US Restock Plans
Immediately following the June restock, we met as a team to review what went well, as well as all of the complaints we received, to make an improved plan for restocking in the future.
How much did Kate and Lou invest in Shark Tank?
Kate and Lou entered the Tank seeking a $400,000 financial investment in exchange for 20% equity in the company. Some of the Sharks felt that their product was so impressive and their business model already so successful that they didn’t really need an investment from the Sharks. Even after advising Kate and Lou against selling equity, Barbara Corcoran makes them a deal for their asking amount with a contingency that she gets paid back first. Their stint on ‘Shark Tank’ ends with the deal that in exchange for $400,000, ‘SlumberPod’ will give up 20% equity to Barbara.
What is Shark Tank?
‘Shark Tank’ gives a grand platform to budding entrepreneurs from around the world to pitch their business models to a panel of uber-successful investors (or Sharks, as we know them). The aspirants get a chance to impress the Sharks with their idea and past and projected sales, and the ultimate goal is to persuade the investors to invest big money in their business. Think Kickstarter for TV, only on a much bigger scale and helmed by industry biggies, that’s ‘Shark Tank’ for you. It is known for its interesting, informative dialogue between the investors and the pitchers, and the generally friendly banter among the Sharks themselves as they fight for their favorite businesses, trying to outbid each other. Not all deals made on the show are successful (some of them fall through) but the reality show is absolutely binge-worthy.
