Sell On TV

You all know I'm a big fan of finding the best and worst of As Seen On TV spots. From the bad acting to the "Oh that's actually a really good idea" products, I welcome them all. And there is never a shortage of entertaining commercials.  It seems like in this economy people are more encouraged than ever to come up with the next big idea. But once you've come up with the big idea, where do you go next? Sell On TV by Jon LaClare may be just the thing you need to understand how the process works. From concepting and research, to how to hit it big and make a profit, this book is the guide you're looking for. So go check out Sell On TV and keep those fabulous products but even more fabulous infomercials coming!

Vince Offer and the Schticky

Well it looks like Vince Offer is back. And things are about to get a little Schticky. Do you think the ShamWow guy only aligns himself with successful products, or do you think they are successful because he teams up with them?  ShamWow and the Slap Chop were old, stale versions of shammy towels and food choppers yet he somehow brought them back to life in a HUGE way! The Sticky Wicky came out and was a flop, but with Vince on its side, The Schticky may be a huge success. And this infomercial also succesfully makes light of Vince's infamous mug shot. He looks his best in this one, which if good since his last one wasn't so pretty.

GermBloc

Whenever I go on a road trip, gas station bathrooms are definitely the worst part. Let’s be honest, all public restrooms can be a little scary. I use paper towels, elbows, feet, everything I can to keep my hands from touching anything in there.

And I’m no germaphobe. I often forget that there are also lots of germs at the grocery store, the mall, or the office.

Basically, I think GermBloc is on to something. Though I may be feeling extra squeamish after seeing all of those invisible germ monsters floating on everything.  But seriously, it’s kind of brilliant in a simple way. Now I don’t know that it’s much of a fashion statement, but you’ll look way fashionable when everyone else comes down with the flu this season and you’re as healthy as a horse. 

Door Delights

Here it comes. Only a few have trickled through so far, but the onslaught on Christmas advertising is well on its way. Generally speaking, the holidays are a time of cheer. Less generally and more specifically: shopping is a headache, traveling is a headache, decorating is a headache, and let’s be honest here, family can be a headache.  That’s 4 headaches total. But with DoorDelights, you’ll be down to 3. 

DoorDelights are magnetic holiday decorations. You can put them on your garage door, your front door, your fridge door, or your car door (okay, you can put them on your whole car, but you get the point).  The garage takes up 30% of the average home and yet there has been no good way to decorate it until now. This is something so easy that that anyone can do it. You can hand them over to your little minion elves, aka children, and they’ll be glad you asked. Because DoorDelights are so easy to use and so durable, your kids will have fun finding new ways to arrange the decorations and keep the holiday cheer high.

Glow Buddy - The Best Gift You Will Ever Give Your Child

A nightlight your child can hug? Personally, I think this is brilliant. For younger kids that have a hard timing falling asleep, this bear will become their new best bedtime friend. And older kids love things that glow in the dark. I'll definitely be ordering one for my niece. Her birthday is coming up, and I know this is something that she will love. You can order them here!

The Amazing Pocket Chair

Standing is a tough job, but someone has to do it. Though, that someone won’t be you when you have a Pocket Chair. Now, I’ve actually sat my toosh on this little phenom and it is surprisingly comfortable and surprisingly portable. Not that my purse isn’t full enough already with an entire pharmacy and grocery store. But come on, I need a place to sit! Have any of you had a chance to try the Pocket Chair out?
