Josh and Steve explained the contents of their perfect package, a bundle of products that they have scientifically developed for their manscaping business, Manscaped. The package includes a collection of eight products that all contribute to a man’s healthy hygiene.
The 3rd generation below-the-waist trimmer from MANSCAPED is the only trimmer you need to keep your manhood looking trim, neat, and clean. Soft ceramic blades featuring advanced SkinSafe Technology ensures confidence while trimming below-the-waist.
More specifically, Manscaped products are for below the waist grooming and hygiene. At the time of the pitch, the father and son say that 73% of men are manscaping, which has grown astronomically over the years.
Further, Josh says even with the dramatic increase in manscaping, most men don’t know how to do it. That’s why they he and his father have developed an entire line geared to help men take care of their grooming and hygiene the right way.
Let’s talk about the sales numbers that the duo has amassed so far. In 2017, they actually did $1.5 million in sales.
An even better number may be their manufacturing cost of just $12, while their average order value is well just over $50. The sharks certainly seemed interested, although they were actually very concerned about the customer acquisition cost of $16.
With that, there were also concerns about the profit margins. Because of this not all of the sharks would want to get on board.
The first sharks to drop out was special guest Charles Barkley, who didn’t think it was the right investment for him. Further, he didn’t have any experience in the industry.
Likewise, Kevin O’ Leary felt similarly, but also didn’t see a pathway to making money on his initial investment. So for these reasons, he dropped out next.
With three sharks remaining, time was certainly running out for Josh and Steve to strike a deal.
However, Robert Herjavec decided to make an offer of $500,000 for 35% equity, which certainly seemed to disappoint the father and son duo.
Then, Mark Cuban and Lori Greiner decided to team up to make an offer of $500,000 for 25% equity, forcing Robert to revoke his offer and drop out.
That left Josh and Steve to consider the two-shark offer from Mark and Lori, who pledged to sell it on QVC in exchange for the 25% company equity that was mentioned in their offer.
Nevertheless, after a short discussion, Josh and Steve decided to accept the offer from Mark and Lori.
