Current TV Infomercials
If you stay up late enough, you might get the opportunity to watch what seems to be a regular TV show. It looks like any other show, looks professionally produced, and it may even feature an actor or celebrity you recognize. Be warned. These are not TV shows. These are actually infomercials, the modern-day TV commercials.
Infomercials are specialized programs aired specifically to endorse and sell the product of the sponsor. By law, infomercials are required to inform you, the viewer, who the sponsor of the show is. If you are able to catch the start of the show, or if you watch the show until the very end, you will see the information about the sponsor.
You may contest that these shows have commercial breaks. Yes, they do. But if you notice, the products showcased in the commercial break are the same products featured in the show. A legitimate program features products, but the product comparisons given are unbiased. Both the good and bad qualities of the product are presented so viewers will be able to make an informed decision. Legitimate commercials do not ask you call any toll-free number to purchase the product it is endorsing.
Be careful about patronizing products featured on infomercials. They could actually be very good products, but you have to understand that infomercials are paid advertising features?they specifically promote the product in such an elaborate way to convince viewers to make a purchase.
Everyday, you are bombarded with information on innovative products: weight-loss plans, fat removers, hair-loss remedies, memory-enhancers, reading improvement systems, skin creams, dietary supplements, acne-removal products, all-powerful vacuum cleaners, impotence remedies, pain relievers, kitchen gadgets and a whole lot more. You will not always be able to tell if information on the product is misleading or not.
A few years ago, a marketer was banned from making infomercials. He was fined million in settlement charges for falsely claiming that his coral calcium supplement could cure cancer and other serious diseases.
