Infomercials: What They Can Teach Us

infomercialsI know there are not many people who would say they like watching infomercials, but we can learn plenty from them. Think about it: every time you hit a channel showing an infomercial, you stop, even for just a second, to watch. No matter what the product is, the commercial pulls you in.

Wikipedia defines infomercials as “long-format television commercials, typically five minutes or longer.” They also originated as an alternative to sign-offs on stations between two and six a.m. Now infomercials are broadcast throughout the day, targeting certain audiences for certain products.

The basics play an integral part in these commercials, things such as repeating the message or product name at least three times per commercial (think back to high school classes in which teachers taught through repetition). What else can we learn from infomercials?

  • Enthusiasm – This is what pulls you in. I’ve never seen someone get so excited about a cloth that can clean up spills. Think about emotions and how easily they rub off onto someone. Not only does enthusiasm make the person happy, but it also excites these consumers enough that they buy a product someone else seems to get so much joy out of.
  • Consumer advocates – Advocates have more power than most advertising companies give credit for. As I’ve noted before, Griffin Farley, from 22squared, puts it best when he says, “Don’t plan for the ones you reach, plan for the ones they [advocates] reach.”
  • Show them, don’t tell them – There’s always a lot of action in these commercials that grabs your attention. Showing a ton of pictures, before and after, gives the consumers something to compare and store in their minds.
  • Needs – These commercials directly target specific consumer needs. While most commercials already do so, infomercials have the broadcast time to really dig deep and get to the viewers’ desires (think about the weight loss commercials). They intertwine the message with what really matters to the audience.

Next time you’re channel surfing and come across an infomercial, take a second and really watch it. You may learn something.

Don’t Forget About A Strategy

trueblood_posterI was speaking with a co-worker today and we began talking about how, with the recent major decrease in the economy and spending, companies have stopped using their employee’s brains and are doing the bare minimum to keep themselves afloat. This is probably the worst idea companies could do at this time.

Businesses are no longer buying marketing and advertising spots in order to save money. This move has killed off corporations and lesser known counterparts have taken their places. Why? Because the smaller companies didn’t forget to use a strategy.

It doesn’t necessarily mean that one product was better than another. It’s because the little guys took the money that they had reserved for advertising and marketing and actually used it for… surprise, those very things. They created a campaign and a strategy. While the big guys sat on their hands and saved their money, the lesser known of the two became the top seller.

Here’s another analogy to put it into perspective. Remember the guy in your high school that every girl had a crush on, but he really wasn’t that great? Well, he had a strategy… and it worked. Whether it was being rude to girls, ignoring them, or playing some other mind game, he had a strategy. The rest of the male population only knew they liked a girl and that was as far as they got.

Advertising and marketing are the same. It’s all about the strategy. And in the eyes of the consumers, when a relatively unknown product becomes better than the more well-known and ubiquitous substitutes, a great advertising campaign and strategy could really establish brand equity.

Perhaps the best strategic campaign is HBO’s “True Blood.” Not only did it have fantastic print ads, but it also introduced interactive sites, games, and a carbonated drink called “Tru Blood” that is portrayed as a synthetic blood drink in the actual show. It even brought in other vendors such as BMW’s MINI Cooper.

Let’s go back in time to the 1680’s, where the word strategy was developed. The term, meaning “to lead,” originated from the field of battle. It’s the science or art of combining and employing the means of war in planning and directing large military movements and operations.

A business could have the best product or idea, but if there’s no strategy, there’s no competition. So go to war, strategize, and be victorious.

The rest of the male population only knew they liked a girl and that was as far as they got.

Advertising and marketing is the same. It’s all about the strategy. I’ve tried numerous unknown products and found that, in some cases, the product is better than the large corporate products, but they’re missing a great advertising campaign and the strategy that comes with it.

Perhaps the best strategic campaign, and we’ve all heard of it, is HBO’s True Blood. Not only did they have fantastic print ads, but they also had Web Sites for vampires (which surprisingly all the vampires we have in the world tell their secrets on), a synthetic blood drink for vampires which they had print ads for as well, True Blood books and numerous interactive sites and games. They even brought in other vendors, such as the Mini Cooper. And part of their strategy was the option to spend money for different campaigns in different continents. There wasn’t just one campaign for the entire world. And the consumer advocates built out of this strategy was immense.

Let’s go back in time to the 1680’s, where the word strategy was developed. The word “strategy” actually comes from war, meaning, “to lead.” It’s the science or art of combining and employing the means of war in planning and directing large military movements and operations.
