An infomercial is a type of paid television advertising that is much longer in length than a typical television commercial. It introduces or sells a particular service or a number of products, and provides the viewer the option to purchase the product or service that is being advertised using a toll free number. Payments are normally made through credit card or cash on delivery. Some sponsors allow you to pay through installments if the selling price involves a large amount, and if the viewer pays through credit card.

The Magic Bullet infomercial is an excellent example of this type of advertising. The product is a kitchen aid that blends, chops and grinds food. The infomercial provides information on how the product works, and provides contact details, including website information where orders can be placed.

Infomercial companies employ infomercial producers who are in charge of creating the concept and program sequence of an infomercial. Infomercial producers are in charge of casting people for this type of advertising medium, and find ways to catch a viewer’s attention. Due to the length of TV infomercials, infomercial companies normally choose non-peak television viewing hours to show infomercials.

Infomercial companies have helped change the way individuals purchase numerous products through online shopping or shopping at home. You should however be careful when buying certain products. Some infomercials create an impression that the product is beneficial or extremely useful to the consumer, and request you to make an immediate purchase in order to avail of a lower price.

There are times when it is better to purchase the advertised products through retail stores, as it gives you the freedom to return or exchange products that do not work immediately. Ordering online or by phone can take some time before you receive your product, and sometimes do not even provide a money back guarantee, or allow for any exchanges.

Even though purchasing products through infomercials provides convenience, it is strongly advised that you to test the product before you place an order, if these products can be found in the any retail store near you, even if it means buying the product at its normal selling price, so that you ensure yourself that the product works as advertised.
