Company: Potato Parcel

What sparked our interest:

Potato Parcel is not just any ordinary company that offers a typical service.

What sparked our interest is how this company managed to turn a seemingly ridiculous idea into a thriving business that has generated six-figure revenue.

Potato Parcel’s unique approach to delivering messages and greetings through personalized potatoes is quirky, hilarious, and undeniably clever. It’s a refreshing alternative to the traditional card that never fails to bring a smile to the recipient’s face.

What’s more, Potato Parcel has expanded its offerings from just potatoes to a range of gift items, including personalized socks, pillows, and even a potato-themed backpack!
 

What we love: 

It’s no wonder why this quirky business idea appeared on the hit TV show “Shark Tank” and caught the attention of the well-known investor Kevin O’Leary (AKA Mr. Wonderful), who loved the idea so much that he invested in it.

Another thing we love about Potato Parcel is the way they engage with their audience through social media posts. They are clever, to the point, and downright funny, making you want to send a potato to everyone you know just to be a part of the fun!

Overall, Potato Parcel has proven to be more than just a one-time gimmick. With its ongoing success and ability to constantly innovate and add new products, we can’t wait to see what they come up with next.
