An adorable bull dog; sweet home-brewed beer; glow-in-the-dark gloves; cheap modular housing for students and some hairy products. That\u2019s the bait that is thrown at the Sharks in this week\u2019s edition of Shark Tank South Africa, the highly-entertaining new M-Net and Telkom SA reality show in which five business tycoons evaluate pitches from budding entrepreneurs. If they find the pitch to be an investable prospect they then dive deep into their own pockets to back the new enterprises financially.<\/p>\n
The Sharks are hungry to bite \u2013 especially bean counter extraordinaire Marnus Broodryk who has not managed to clinch a deal to date \u2013 but the fish in the tank seem to be swimming in all directions with crazy ideas. Is there perhaps a lot of money to be made if one could streamline these plans? Or are they dealing with duds that will go nowhere?<\/p>\n
While weighing up his options, Shark Marnus decides to have some fun in the tank this week. Unfortunately, some of his colleagues, which include marketing expert Gil Oved, tech guru Vinny Lingham, media mogul Romeo Kumalo and level-headed business woman Dawn Nathan-Jones, are showing more teeth than ever before.<\/p>\n
In between all of the harsh commentary, this episode will provide plenty of excellent tips for business owners who want to find out how to market and upscale their businesses. One of the entrepreneurs this week is a master of branding and another one urgently needs advice on proper distrubition.<\/p>\n
