<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you go to a restaurant, you expect good customer service.  When you go to a department store, you expect good customer service.  When you go to an auto shop, you expect good customer service.  When you go to a theatre, you expect good customer service.</p>
<p>How do you feel when you walk into a store and can&#8217;t find anyone to help you?  How do you feel when you need something explained and there&#8217;s nobody around to talk to?  How do you feel when you can&#8217;t find something and there&#8217;s nobody around?  My first thought is to walk out of the store and go somewhere else.</p>
<p>What kind of company thinks only of the bottom line and negates customer service?  One that won&#8217;t stay in business very long.</p>
<p>Retailing has dramatically changed over the years.  Discount chains.  Mail order.  Television shopping.  Internet shopping.  Phone shopping.  It makes sense for a business to pay attention to customer service.  That&#8217;s how a business will get ahead.  Pay attention to what the customer wants and the customer will pay you lip service.  What will that kind of advertising get you?  More customers.</p>
<p>What kind of customer service do I expect?  I want someone to greet me as I walk into the store.  I want someone to show me where I can find something I&#8217;m looking for.  I want someone to answer my questions.  I want someone to be polite.</p>
<p>It all comes down to customer service.  Is that too much to ask?</p>
<p>Have a wonderful day!</p>

<p>The botanicals are schizandra berries, a super fruit used in Asian herbal medicine for over 2000 years. The schizandra works in combination with rhodiola rosea, siberian ginseng, cordyceps and goji. The botanicals in VIV are scientifically proven to energize your mind and body, elevate your mood, fight fatigue, combat stress, increase your alertness and concentration, and improve your recovery time from exercise or physical excursion.

Allow me to introduce you to Kiiera a company that is owned by Peter Spiegel who has sold of two billion dollars worth of products to consumers through the parent company Sylmark. A company that has taken two years of planning and over a year of preparation to set a world class foundation. A company that has spent over two million dollars before even opening for prelaunch. A company that has hired a dream team of management with over 150 years of experience in network marketing to build a global giant. A company that is already making plans to open in Canada and Japan within a few months and many other countries over the next year.</p>

<description><![CDATA[How brand marketers are profiting from infomercial alliances By Peter Spiegel Advertising Age August]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><span lang="EN-GB">How brand marketers are profiting from infomercial alliances<br />
<strong>By <a title="Peter Spiegel Sylmark" href="http://gadget-guy1.blogspot.com/">Peter Spiegel</a><br />
</strong>Advertising Age<br />
August 8, 1994</span></div>
<div><span lang="EN-GB">Only a few years ago it was unheard of for large multinational corporations to join forces with entrepreneurial direct response TV companies. Bur things have definitely changed.</span></div>
<div><span lang="EN-GB">The proliferation of mass-merchandise discounters and wholesale buying clubs, where price is king, makes it increasingly difficult today for consumer goods companies to differentiate their products and command decent margins. Products that gobbled up millions in research and development cross can languish on shelves &#8211; while an emerging product category, goods sold on TV, burns up sales at the checkout counter.</span></div>
<div><span lang="EN-GB">This new category, featuring cosmetics lines, housewares and fitness machines, brought new customers into stores while providing full margins and fast turnovers. These products also became the darlings of mass merchandisers and boasted more impressive sales then some established brand retail counterparts. It’s no surprise that brand name goods marketers took notice. Companies such as Bissell, Remington, Nordic Ware and Ekco Housewares, to name a few, took action by entering into strategic alliances with direct marketers.</span></div>
<div><span lang="EN-GB">Depending on where the product originates and who approached whom alliances can be structured in many ways. Some examples;</span></div>
<p><span lang="EN-GB">A major housewares manufacturer, with an orphan product that has not sold well through traditional channels with traditional advertising, sells the product to an infomercial marketer at actual manufacturing cost. In exchange, the infomercial marketer creates a half-hour commercial that demonstrates the benefits of this unique product. The marketer finances the commercial’s production, testing and media buys, typically a $250,000 to $750,000 investment.If the infomercial is successful and the product goes to retail, the infomercial company collects a royalty on each sale. The housewares company benefits from a free advertising campaign, is recognized as an innovator and has a new hit product.</p>
<p>A major cosmetics company licenses its brand name for a personal care product developed by an infomercial marketer. In exchange, the cosmetics company is granted an exclusive license to sell the product into retail distribution. The brand name increases the effectiveness of the infomercial and helps pave the way for retail sales through the cosmetics company’s existing channels of distribution. Both sides benefit. The cosmetic company has a new hit product with no out-of-pocket expenses. The infomercial marketer gains brand name credibility and widespread distribution for the product.</p>
<p>A major manufacturer of cookware joins with an infomercial marketer that has developed a revolutionary new food wrap that crisps, browns and bakes foods in the microwave. The manufacturer packages one roll of the food wrap as a premium item with its microwave turntables in a special retail promotional pack. The infomercial marketer is linked with a well-respected maker of microwave bake ware and plans to use that company’s products in future infomercials. In turn, the manufacturer’s product is enhances by being paired with the latest in microwave cooking technology.</p>
<p></span></p>
<div><span lang="EN-GB">These are examples of actual alliances. The third example involves Nordic Ware and the infomercial company, Kent &#38; Spiegel Direct, is my own. These types of partnering are still the exception. The strategic alliances are the wave of the future. Here’s some advice for corporate advertisers on teaming up with an infomercial marketer.</span></div>
<div><span lang="EN-GB">1. Look for an infomercial company with a history of winning shows and products, backed by a strong infrastructure. Remember many infomercials don’t work. Look at an infomercial company’s ratio of successes to failures. A history of success indicates expertise in the crucial areas of direct response TV, including; selection of product, pricing, customer service, telemarketing, fulfillment and database management.</span></div>
<p><span lang="EN-GB">2. Ask for references. Look for companies already involved in strategic alliances. An excellent and objective source is our industry trade organization, NIMA International, in Washington D.C.3. Select products that lend themselves to infomercial marketing; Choose products not often available in stores, that present a new benefit or problem solution, that have broad appeal and that can be effectively demonstrated. Popular categories continue to be beauty and personal care, housewares, hardware and fitness.</p>
<p>4. Let go of pre-conceived notions about pricing and mark-ups. Remember direct response RB creates perceived value better than any other form of advertising. Infomercial product offers are designed to create an immediate need for the product by convincing consumers that they are getting exceptional goods at great prices.</p>
<p>5. An infomercial marketer can be a fresh source of new products. The millions of Americans who invent products are a unique research and development group. While they may be intimidated by approaching corporate America, infomercial marketers hear from thousands of them each year. Some of their ideas would make excellent TV products. To take these products to retail, we’d look for a corporate partner with that distribution channel in place.</p>
<p>6. Keep an open mind. Ignoring the potential of direct response TV can place a company further back in the competitive pack. Not all products are appropriate for infomercial advertising bur, for those that are, there is no faster, more effective way to create a brand.</p>
