Man Candles

One of new favorite shows is Shark Tank on ABC. On Shark Tank, entrepreneurs pitch their business or invention to a group of successful businessmen, the sharks. Mark Cuban is often on the panel of investors. If the investors like the business an equity offer is negotiated and the entrepreneur can accept or reject the investor’s offer.
On a recent show, a business called ”Man Candles” was pitched to the “sharks”. The sharks ultimately decided against investing in this company because it was thought that this was too much of a novelty business that could not be scaled up enough for the sharks to realize a big enough return. The sharks are accustomed to investing millions of dollars and wish to be able to scale a business to that size. While this may be true, the Man Candles company can still be a very successful small to mid size company. Just being on Shark Tank is positive marketing for the Man Candles.
Man Candles produces men scented candles. Scented candles that appeal to men. Unlike candles of flower fragrances or potpourri which women seem to like the man candles have such scents as draft beer, new car, and sawdust. Their are food scented candles like bacon, pizza, and pot roast.
With father’s day coming up, a gift of man candles may be a good gift for the man in your life. Just don’t buy them anything with “potpourri” in it. Right now their is a Shark Tank special where if you buy three candles you get their best selling scented candle for free, the “fart” candle.
