Just so you know, I started a biz called Cape Cod Sunglasses. My website is CapeCodSunglasses.net. Three main reasons why Cape Cod Sunglasses is different, 1. We are a small, eco-friendly family biz based on Cape Cod 2. Each pair of sunglasses has its own little back story as they are named after real towns, real beaches, real bike paths and real ponds on Cape Cod 3. Our sunglasses are affordable, less than $40 4. We plant a tree on Cape Cod for each pair we sell with wood in the frames. Our way to give back to nature.
How did it get started? I knew that I wanted my own biz. I did this massive analyzation of every product offered on the TV show Shark Tank in the first 5 years of the show. Every bit of detail you can think of, e.g. how much wanted, what for, cost to produce one product, retail sell price, wholesale sell price, offer, 2nd offer, on and on. Over 360 products. Took me about one year to watch all of the videos, rewind, take notes. Sent the end spreadsheet by mail to the Sharks. Someone said I reverse engineered my analysis.
In the end, I learned I wanted something lightweight, that shipped easily, that was loved by Women, Men and Kids. Sunglasses.
