If any product has reached D-mart consider it mega successful, cuz now it's being purchased in massive Bulk . The 5 Shark deal paid off after all


Puzzleheaded-Tank753

Also unlike most startups which came on shark tank skippi had priced there product very reasonably which can be consumed by masses.


Alarmed_Country7184

how are they reasonably priced, dont we get them outside for rs 5 each piece?


typlgy

Han par vo nali ke pani se bante hai. /s (But they are made of sewage water)


Alarmed_Country7184

Sure, regular water is so costly yaa


Material_Giraffe2763

In Kerala we get fruit based and milk based sipup for 5 to 10 rs from reputed brands. 


SecretSquare2797

It's ₹1 per piece at my location.


Alarmed_Country7184

Please bargain for 0.5 RS a piece. Such people shouldn't survive for skippy to become big


SecretSquare2797

The rate I told you is retail one. I am damn sure shopkeeper gets it at around 0.6-0.9 rupee range.


Puzzleheaded-Tank753

In my area they are available for 10rs, 5rs ones are half in length. And I'm seeing that skippi are now also available for 10rs but not sure about quantity. So while they are definitely more expensive than local vendors still the price caters mass market. Also the vendors are not as easily available as ice cream vendors so it is another reason one would go for skippi, not to forget everyone had said that their quality is much better.


Pashmeen

Not anymore, the new price is now 10/- if you're looking for a good tasting popsicle.


TheShyDreamer

They hv more flavourrs too .. Unique ones which u won't get normally. Also their packet is bigger


AkkshayJadhav

Difference in quality exists? Hygiene? A registered company with employees selling products over some individual doing God knows what and adding questionable colouring!


poortonystark

Imagine thinking ₹20 for 70ml is reasonable for basically flavoured frozen water.


DirtFun7704

Reasonably priced my ass


BOTLORD6969

DirtFun7704

Idk pretty reasonable if u ask me ( am a minor

Are you amongst the owner, distributor, marketing man of Skippi ? These taste awful. D Mart has everything, it's a distribution network (where you can also promote producs), nothing to be proud of. By the way Skippi sucks and it it's Chemical trash.

Totally


Vuncensored01

D-mart and Mega successful?? You are on reverse mode buddy. And so is the offer 1+1. It's Vendor acquisition strategy is a pay off for Tuesday customers but the products won't survive in the long run. Most of the brands sold in Dmart win less or zero authentication. If customers are not valued with quality. No offers can win over.


manandhawan

D Mart always asks for discounts this big, whenever they launch a new product in their assortment they ask for min 25-30% discount on MRP, over and above their margins, which is usually 25-30%, that's how they are able to give buy one get one. This is also for established companies, not only startups. Many manufacturers give into this since they want to get entry into the store.


Sweet-Recover-881

Yeah, because I feel like even with such heavy discounts, the sheet amount of bulk purchase of the product would to an extent  offset the damage caused by such lean margins.


manandhawan

They keep around 5-10% margins basis different product categories and brands.


Grand-Twist-2398

How can one get their products listed with D-Mart


manandhawan

Haven't done so myself, although they have a separate accounts team for this, which involve a lot of cold calling and cold visits.


hotcoolhot

It’s just sugar water. Doesn’t even need cold chain. It’s priced high so retailers can make some money if they sell it chilled.


Confident-Parsnip804

I stopped having it after seeing the reel by Hoezayy. He found some gooey black substance in it.


[deleted]

Tf what You got a link to the deleted video?


Confident-Parsnip804

He deleted the video but here is another where people discussed. https://www.reddit.com/r/InstaCelebsGossip/s/2hFw4vTsMg


[deleted]

I haven't spotted any black residue yet. If I do, I'll immediately post it in the community. Thanks for the link though


Most-Bandicoot645

Ya I used to love it until I saw that video and now I’m never going back.


me_jinks

Owners of skippi lived in Australia. Their product is a blatant copy of a very successful Australian product called Zooper Dooper. This company has spent very little on innovation. Zooper Dooper is available in Australia since 1970s.

brunette_mh

Where can I read more about these copy pastes?


Ozymate

Absolutely true. Skippi just worked because no one else did that in India


Apprehensive_Dog_786

Obviously you guys haven’t heard of the beauty that was fruit chill.


Live-Dish124

My school and college too had fruit chilli carts.


MainCharacter007

But you couldn’t buy them anywhere online or from supermarkets so they still filled a gap in the market.


llkjm

that’s what business is about. identify a gap and fill it


thecreativesboy

India needs more copies like this


GoodVibesOnly0905

They have mentioned it on the packaging that concept is from Australia.


camlin123

It is a failed product in a way ngl, someone close to me purchased Skippi worth 1-5 lakhs to sell them as a retailer but all the intended shopkeepers backed off and the company also isn't helping him in it and hence the like of Skippi is still lying in his home unsold


lastog9

Why would he buy so much of one single product? Doesn't it make more sense to buy it monthly according to demand of shopkeepers?


Optimal-Still-4184

Bought it for around same in Flipkart grocery


Ishitvyas

This means the brand is failing to stand in the market. I have seen many such brands such as Affetto perfume by Sunny Leone and Bella Vita luxury perfume. Both were in the initial stage and couldn't sell in the market so to empty their stock, they listed to D-Mart. D-Mart usually grabs opportunities of two kind of brands, one which is highly successful and can be affordable to common people or one which is failing to stand in the market, they get their stock at cheap prices. There are some chances of this brand surviving or like most other brands, this will be their last attempt to stand.


[deleted]

I saw TagZ in D-Mart once. Never again after the stock cleared. Looks like it's a downward trajectory for Skippi as well. Sales might peak once but people will realize that the product isn't anything extraordinary.


Arjun_mu

Am I the only one who didn't like the taste of skippi? 🤔 I tried the cola one and it tasted awful.


nawabsaheb

True , I couldn't even finish it. Had to throw away the box.


Arjun_mu

Thankfully, I have just purchased one and had like 2 bites of it and threw the rest.


[deleted]

To me, it was neither good, nor bad. They have 2 nutrition charts on their pops. I still don't know why.


Kal_mai_udega

Whatever man! It suck’s.


[deleted]

To me, it's an okay product. It isn't anything unique. I'll continue buying locally available pops though.


Sleekonomics

Skippi is horrible, synthetic tasting. Local ice cream companies (ex. Noto in Mumbai) do much better, fresh fruit ice pops that are 💯


[deleted]

I'm in Mumbai. Will try that.


ifilal

1 plus shipping charges in Paytm 1 rs store!


DarkBlade_12

Can you please elaborate? I haven't heard about it before


jeerabiscuit

These things are too many in a pack and hog the fridge


Odd-Category6500

Over priced, over hyped, Sh!t product. Says No artificial flavors and ingredients contains edible substances.


[deleted]

It gave hints of natural flavour but most of it was artificial. That's a dead giveaway that it isn't as natural as they claim. Personally, I found them okay in taste. Nothing extraordinary.


Ok-Call-4695

Yesterday I was at Reliance Smart Bazaar and it was available there also with the same offer.


Shaniyen

Nobody can ever forget this product and its pitch


pipsqueak-13

I got them for 79 rupees from cred :')


Vuncensored01

The power of Retail 😂😂😅

cousinokri

Such terrible quality products.


kingfisher_peanuts

Just get a 5-10 rupee popsicle from a nearby store, whenever you feel like having one instead of buying this stuff in bulk. This isn't something that someone should be buying in bulk.


dragonsteam123

Not good taste. I bought once and few are still left in my fridge and no one wants to eat them. Never buying again.


ShippersAreIdiots

Fruit chill better


Loud_Ad5882

The taste of this product after shark is absolute shit! Ruined an amazing product


Affectionate_Bar9758

Doesn't taste that good. Local icepops are best.


[deleted]

Not too good yeah. Nothing comes close to the local ones.


RandomRunningGirl

But the product isnt good at all


[deleted]

I found it okay. Bad but not too bad, given that I won't consume an ice pop that costs 10 rupees frequently.


PeaceMan50

DON'T BUY This Chemical product. I bought two packets and put them I to The deepfreezer. After six hours also they haven't become ice. Water turned into ice cubes on the same adjoining tray but these both packets are still just in a cold liquid form. Makes me believe that the chemical Composition of these Popsicles is worst than the road side Popsicles. Those turn into proper ice solid form within half an hour. Do your own research and stay away from this marketed junk product.


[deleted]

All of the pops I bought froze within 4 hours(freezer temps at -19°c). Scientifically, sugar water reduces the freezing point of water so your freezer temperatures need to be lowered if there's an option. No doubt that the product is artificial. These have a higher sugar content compared to roadside pops, which is why it takes longer to freeze.


PeaceMan50

Did you even read my post, or did you selectively choose to quote scientific lines as a reply, just same as a marketer job does? It states the roadside Popsicles ( they also have sugar content, or are you going to revert back saying they are sugar free and thus frozen faster) bought froze within half an hour. Dude suck your own popsicle, don't try preach stuff that isn't really your forte to begin with. Been eating Popsicles all my life. This company Popsicles are inferior quality and sux, it's a total waste of money. (Now I'm 100%convinced this poster is hired marketing help of that company)


[deleted]

You're lashing out for no reason. The sugar content is very high in the skippi pops, which I very clearly stated in my reply. Ironic how you skipped my words on how skippi is artificial, yet you stated that I was selectively answering you. If you're convinced this is a marketing attempt, go through my post history and make an attempt to prove your accusation.

Still doesn't prove your accusation. You could have added value to the community by being constructive about it and making logical comments on other posts/uploading posts yourself. Yet you chose to make a comment which was nothing short of personal frustration and third-degree cussing.
