These infomercials along with many others really makes me question consumer behavior. Some of these products are so crazy I can't imagine that people would actually buy them. However, many people criticized "Snuggie" for being a terrible product, yet millions have been sold. The key to marketing these products is to be seen by millions and reach the consumers who suffer from the unique problem that your product solves. Using infomercials helps the companies reach the masses and give viewers the ability to purchase the product immediately by calling in. This is a great way to offer sales promotions to increases sales too. This is often executed by the lines such as "but wait! there's more!" and "call right now and we will double your offer". I have yet to fall victim to any infomercial products but who knows, one day there might be a product I just can't live without!
Below are some of the worst products which have been seen on TV
My Spy Birdhouse: With all weather suction cups and a wooden perch, WOW!
Potty Putter: Take the time to play with your putter
Kush: The comfortable night-time companion
