Direct Response TV Commercial (DRTV) featuring talking babies




Everyone loves talking baby commercials. The ads are effective because like the GEICO "caveman ads" they bring home the point that the product or service is very easy to use (even a baby can do it). Babies, puppies and kittens attract the TV viewer because they are so cute too. We had a lot of fun shooting this 30 second TV commercial.

Will Your Product Sell?

Is it Highly Demonstrable? Is it unique or new? Does it solve a common problem? Does it have mass market appeal? Read what more about what I recommend in an article from Inc. Magazine.

Other infomercial experts seem to agree. Steven Marcus, who has been producing and directing infomercials for over 35 years, says it's all about careful consideration of your costs versus retail price. "The first thing I ask is what your product retails for. If they say $20, and it wholesales for $8, I tell them they're going to lose their shirt on television."

If you want to find out how a consumer feels about a product, go ask them, he says. However, like many aspects of entrepreneurship, you may never really know what you're going to get until you just do it. Steven Marcus recommends a cable test to try out the product's viability.

"We tell clients to do a one-to-two week network cable test, which costs about $20,00 to $30,000. If no one is buying in those weeks, no one is going to buy in four or eight weeks. At the end of that, if you can make a profit, you can roll out." Even if you break even, Marcus considers it a success. "You just need to tweak the offer," he says.


There are even some clever tactics to help the transition from infomercial to retail, says Steven Marcus. "Some people will sell products for $12 to $15 because they're looking to get into retail," he says. "Retailers know that if it's on TV for more than a few weeks it's making money, so the retailers then start calling to get the product. Let's say the [product's inventor] wants to get it in Walgreens or Walmart. They'll buy airtime in the home town of the corporate headquarters where the buyers can see it. And they see it on the air for a while, and they track down the guy with the product."
