Shark Tank: LugLess
LugLess featured on Season 4 of Shark Tank
So, we tanked a bit on Shark Tank. (insert sad trombone sound) However, that didn’t stop viewers from seeing the benefits of our luggage shipping service. I mean who wants to lug bags through an airport? Or rent a U-Haul when you could simply ship your belongings after your college semester ends.
LugLess might not have sparked the interest of the millionaire panel on Shark Tank but that didn’t stop our website traffic from spiking and new customers gaining momentum after the airing of the show.
With that being said, thank you for your support and consideration when taking the simpler route of travel and sending your skis, boxes, golf clubs, and more with us. We were also thankful for the insight we got from the Sharks – while realizing they might not be the audience our product is for.
“having five out of touch billionaires shoot down our idea that average travelers actually could use to save time, money, and hassle when traveling was awesome for us. LugLess didn’t win ‘ most popular’ vote that night, but we definitely won the audience vote of ‘most likely to bring home to mom and dad’ — and that was what we were going for with our appearance”. -Brian Altomare, LugLess, our representative on the show.
No more spoiler alerts here, check your local listings for reruns of Shark Tank Season 4, Episode 26. You’ll see LugLess founder, Brian Altomare, get in “the tank” and swim with the Sharks. Sadly you might even see a shark attack.
We can tell you this: The Sharks are a tough bunch. But, they also are very smart and have a lot of useful insight into the strengths and weaknesses of a business. We loved the opportunity.
