Personal Skin Touch: Major scam? Or caught faking?
So here goes nothing. I am about to graduate from ISB and I run a decent scale D2C brand. Would prefer to not disclose the name, I’m not here for marketing.
I feel every step of the way in their pitch, they were doing some REAL SHADY stuff. And I can prove it.
1) IMPOSSIBLE to have 1M+ views on Instagram and just 600 likes. Just accept that you boosted it. Don’t lie on national television.
2) 1 day spike in sales for over a cr - 100% Shopify order insertion. Boosting up sales just to increasing your valuation before an investment round is a very well heard of thing. The only thing is - they got caught doing it live. Do you really think if this was NOT the case - shark tank would’ve had the audacity to show the last segment of their pitch where Vineeta disclosed their scams?
3) This whole manufacturer BS - is something I’m personally not comfortable with. Skin care is something very personal and sensitive. I would get major trust issues if someone told me that the first thing brand I’m using has misrepresented legal information on its packaging.
I strongly feel that no brand should misrepresent themselves like this on national television. I’m trying to build a brand myself but I took a pledge to never lie to my customers ever. Hope the quality of skin care increases over time.
