| Final Deal | Deal was made on the show with sharks Lori Greiner for $75k for 25% of Company. |
You know when you were a kid, went to a waterpark, and afterward, you dried off and sat on a towel in the car? Well, other kids are out there changing poolside.
Shelley Ehler had public indecency issues with her kids eagerly wanting to change out of their wet clothes after swimming in the public pool. Shelly created a better private area for her kids to change clothes in than holding up a towel around her kids, called Show No.
The Show No towel is a towel with a slot to drape over one's head like a poncho and create a hands-free private changing area while serving as a towel that lays flat.
When Shelly's new neighbor turned out to be a patent attorney, Shelly saw a way to get a patent for her product cheaply. Shelly had the neighbor create the Show No patent in exchange for some Show No towels, which may be a clever way to avoid paying income taxes through the barter system. Also, as a newcomer to the community, you don't want to piss everyone off on day one.
Shelly targets waterparks to sell her towels and has done $15k of revenue so far. Kevin and Robert stick to the book and see an unsuccessful business, so they go out. The other sharks get caught in a bidding war.
You know what's best, baby. Just follow your heart you know, baby, you know. I love you.
After some touching words from her husband, Shelly goes with Lori's offer, which includes a check on the spot. Considering half of the deals on the show fall through afterward, that is a wise choice.

In a 2019 interview Shelly did here https://www.awakin.org/v2/calls/441/shelly-ehlerLink Preview
After the show aired Shelly hoped to prove to be a success, however, received a low amount of sales and was left feeling broken. Shelly struggled to accept that she had an unprofitable product and for three years tried to make it work until 2015 when she closed the business.
Shelly eventually saw her failed Show No business as a success in other metrics such as inspiring others and growing as a person. Shelly may have attempted to sell Show No again between 2018 to 2020 but in 2022 Show No appears to be finished.
