I had sold products in flea markets before and I thought a cleaning product would be a good idea. So, in 2006, I came up with the ShamWow! I had seen this type of product at fairs, but it wasn't well marketed. And from there, I went to this factory in Germany that made them for me.

You gotta learn a lesson as you go through life.
To be truthful, not much 'engineering' goes into the ShamWow!
That ShamWow! commercial was really low budget. That cost us like $20,000 to make.
Offer is actually my first name. My Dad is Israeli, so that isn't totally made up.
Fame didn't change me.
People understand you make mistakes in life.
You know the Germans always make good stuff.
Humor has been a major component in our past successes; a good joke and a good product combined can get a lot of people talking.
Save time, save money, save the environment. Forget the environment, save yourself.
Consumers and retailers should always beware of imitators.
Just because a product says 'As Seen on TV' and looks like my product doesn't mean it performs like my product or will sell like my product.
With ShamWow, I had to become my own distributor because no one wanted it. Out of necessity you become something you're not expecting. It was actually a blessing.
God slaps you around a little bit when you drink too much.
