Sales after Shark Tank
When Bala Bangles appeared on Shark Tank, the projected annual sales were $2.5 Million. In the next year after appearing on Shark Tank, Bala Bangles made over $10 million in sales.
Later on, when Covid struck the world, Bala Bangles made use of Sharapova’s huge marketing potential and expanded rapidly.
Due to the lockdown, Gyms were closed and as a result, the sales of Bala Bangles reached $20 million annually, during the Covid Lockdown.
As of today, they expanded to many countries and partnered with over 150 sporting brands and retailers, with the help of Mark Cuban.
Despite the lunge forward in sales, Bala Bangles has felt the burn that often accompanies startup success. Most notably, finding popularity on Amazon has made it vulnerable to counterfeits.
