In Episode 55 we dissect DUDE Wipes business & marketing strategy – Founded in 2011 by 4 guys that started the company in a small apartment in Chicago. Their main initial product, Flushable Wipes, built up their reputation wasn’t something innovative. Essentially it was baby wipes repurposed into a whole new brand.
Within a few years of successful growth, they landed on Shark Tank in 2015 where Mark Cuban invested 300k in exchange for 25% equity. In 2022, they are estimated to be worth $50 mil. Analyzing this company can help you think of ways of recreating an existing product & introducing new customers to an already existing one (Rebranding & Storytelling).
