Stations that offer entertaining programs on TV usually feature advertisements of the products and services from various companies. These advertisments are referred to as commercials, which is better known as infomercials.
Infomercials are a combination of a television program and an advertisement. They usually come on some channels late night or early morning and give advice on products you should buy. This advice is detailed in that infomercial can last up to half an hour. They show how the product is used and give demonstrations with actors.
Infomercial producers target the audience which will go and buy online or order through the telephone. There are many infomercial producers spread around the globe and many products are advertised.
An example of an infomercial is infomercial hair. Hair transplant for those growing bald is a prime example. You must have at some point seen one of these, where they show an actor, then and now. Then he was bald and used to feel shy going out, was socially withdrawn, didn’t have girlfriends, interacted very awkwardly. Now he has hair on his head and goes out more often and is approached for dates.
Infomercial producers sell their products online or through the telephone, thus it is also known as telemarketing. This is because the process just requires a consumer to simply pick up the phone and dial the number on the screen. Then you order the product of your choice and give you credit card number for them to process the order.
The Magic Bullet infomercial is another example. It is supposed to be a kitchen accessory that helps in chopping food, grinding and blending. The infomercial gives a telephone number as well as an online site where you can order the Magic Bullet.
TV infomercials have revolutionized the way many people buy products from the luxury of their sofa sets. It is a form of online shopping at home. But you should beware that many products don’t actually deliver the magic that they promise. And there’s no store that you can go to and claim your return. It is a convenient way of shopping though.
