Sh*t Talking With Suzy Batiz, Founder of Poo-Pourri
Meet Suzy Batiz, the founder of Poo~Pourri and Supernatural … a $500+ million empire!
As of Sunday this video has been viewed 42,000,000 times!
Just to get some perspective, Suzy sold her first bottle of Poo-Pourri in 2007 and the company grew by a million dollars each year for the first 8 years. She was at $8 million in revenue when she created her first viral video, “Girls Don’t Poop” which exploded sales to over $27 million in a year.
Within four days she had sold all of her inventory and had $4 million in backorders. But because she’s an ethical person and didn’t want to rack up another $20 million in orders she couldn’t ship, she shut down all ad spending that was driving sales in order to get caught up. This year she’ll do about $100 million in sales. Putting ethics ahead of money really pays off!
What can we learn from this consumer hit? I have purchased and used the product and honestly I don’t think it is that functional. If you have 42 million people watch a video about your product it would be hard not to sell a lot even if the consumer didn’t ever purchase it again. The take away is, a great idea and an extremely well executed marketing plan. What is your great idea for 2020?

The Eagles lost last week but that was after our quarterback was taken out by a bad hit. Our back up came out of retirement, here is his package:
ESPN says that Josh McCown, who turned 40 last month, will sign a one-year contract worth $2 million guaranteed with incentives that could be worth up to $5.4 million.
I guess he got the incentive package for playing the rest of the game, now he can go back to semi-retirement.
Have a great day and an even better sales week!
