8 Failed Products from the World’s Biggest Companies
When you sell food in the wrong place, the product can become a failure
- Company: The Sharper Image
- Failed product: Donald Trump’s Steaks
Donald Trump is known internationally not only because he is the 45th President of the United States, but also for his business empire, including finance and real estate. Of course, Trump is one of the most successful men in the world, but that doesn’t mean he hasn’t experienced some failures with some of his products at some point in his career.
For example, in 2007 he launched a brand of steaks and other meats called Trump Steaks, which was sold exclusively through The Sharper Image and QVC. Well, it seems that Donald Trump failed to sell the steaks through The Sharper Image because it was a brand that offers consumers home electronics, air purifiers, gifts and other technology related items rather than food. So, The Sharper Image discontinued sales of the product line after only two months.
