HNHI (TVGoods/As Seen On TV) / Impulse Buying on TV Enters an Even Faster Phase
Impulse Buying on TV Enters an Even Faster Phase
By TANZINA VEGA
Published: June 29, 2011
TELEVISION pitchmen for quirky products like Pajama Jeans and lighted slippers once tried to get viewers to place their orders by phone and then shifted to getting products into retail outlets with labels that screamed “As Seen on TV.” Now, they are trying to make impulse buying even easier by experimenting with new technologies.
Cellphones are one tool some marketers are embracing to sell products quickly from TV sets.
“Because we come from the world of video and TV, who better than us?” asked Kevin Harrington, founder of a direct response marketing company, TVGoods.
Mr. Harrington, one of the “sharks” on ABC’s “Shark Tank,” where entrepreneurs pitch their ideas to direct response executives, bought AsSeenOnTV.com and its corresponding telephone number in June. The company, which says it has more than two million customers and 700,000 e-mail subscribers, is embracing technologies that use cellphones and remote controls to enable purchases directly from a television set.
Daily Web videos with product demonstrations are also being produced, and Facebook pages where users can buy products directly are expected to start rolling out before the end of the year.
“We anticipate most of our vendors being excited about this as a whole new way to generate products and profits,” Mr. Harrington said. AsSeenonTV.com lists 650 products from multiple vendors.
•
In the online videos, spokesmen like the former professional wrestler Hulk Hogan and the entertainer 50 Cent will host product demonstrations. “It’s much like what makes a home shopping network work — it’s a visual, it’s storytelling, it’s presenting and bringing the products to life,” Mr. Harrington said.
The videos will also be pushed out by e-mail to subscribers to the site. Mr. Harrington hopes to use former hosts from home shopping channels in addition to celebrity endorsers.
Some of the newer products being pitched by celebrities include a nonabrasive household cleaner product line called PumMagic, which is made of finely ground pumice and includes a spray, scrubs and sponges. The product will be endorsed by Hulk Hogan, whose physical strength is meant to mirror the strength of the cleanser, Mr. Harrington said.
“Hulk, as a celebrity and a famous athlete, was always talking to us about endorsing products, “ Mr. Harrington said. “It just made sense. Hulk really fell in love with the pumice pitch.”
A high-end set of wireless over-the ear headphones that is being promoted by 50 Cent, who is no stranger to product pitches after being a spokesman for Vitamin Water drinks, will sell for $300 to $400.
“He’s a pretty aggressive entertainer,” Mr. Harrington said. “He’s been a great businessman.” When asked whether that price was a bit too rich compared to the usual cost of an infomercial product, Mr. Harrington said, “It’ll be three easy payments of $99 when we’re done.”
Streamlining the way consumers buy these products is one a crucial goal. Mike Fitzsimmons, the chief executive of Delivery Agent, the company providing mobile and television commerce technology to AsSeenOnTV, said it is clumsy for television viewers to have to jot down an 800 number or go to a Web site.
“Our whole business is taking friction out of the processing,” Mr. Fitzsimmons said. “Were placing a big bet on that industry that we think is in need of innovation”
This fall, the company will roll out technology it calls audio fingerprinting, which will enable cellphones to decipher which infomercial a user is watching after the phone is held up to the television. The user will then be sent to a mobile Web site where the product can be bought through the cellphone.
Another development will let viewers use ordinary remote controls to buy products off a television screen by clicking a button that opens a purchase window. Advertisers will also be able to track which commercials elicited purchases. The goal, Mr. Fitzsimmons said, is to have a “ubiquitous transaction mechanism for television.”
Direct response marketers say they are closely watching the new technologies.
“If we have the opportunity for them to see a commercial and to react that quickly, the chances for us to make a sale increase dramatically,” said Kevin Vick, a partner with Boston Ideas, which owns Bright Feet, a product that combines fuzzy house slippers with LED lights so people can see as they walk in the dark. “This takes several steps out. In our society today, we want it now, we want it faster. “
Sonia Makurdsik, a marketing consultant for Hampton Direct, which owns Pajama Jeans, said 70 percent of nonstore sales came from online purchases as opposed to over the phone. “Flipping through the channel is not enough,” she said. “Your brand message needs to be present wherever the consumer is.”
•
Data from Nielsen shows that direct response marketers spent $2.1 billion on television, radio outdoor and print advertising in 2010, and $550 million in the first quarter of 2011.
John Yarrington, the publisher of Response Magazine, a direct response trade magazine, said that while these marketers are going to the Web, television is still critical for establishing a brand’s presence. “How would you know to go look for the Shake Weight, if you’ve never heard of it before?” he asked.
Once online, however, marketers can sell products more cheaply since they eliminate the need for someone to take a phone order. “Television marketing fuels consumers to go to the Web and make purchases online or make purchases to their phone,” Mr. Yarrington said.

Big money made putting people in prison! Posted: 29 Jun 2011 10:59 AM PDT Fascism is defined as the marriage between the government and the private sector. It always has terrible consequences. Today (in just one example of fascism) we see the government has contracted out prison functions to the private sector using the argument of “increased efficiency”. They claim that because the free market is more efficient they [...]

Eight states quietly plan to drop out of the Federal Reserve System
Re: Eight states quietly plan to drop out of the Federal Reserve System !!
I can confirm that my office did request the Washington State Secretary of State
to issue an opinion whether or not the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco
should be registered as a foreign corporation with the State of Washington.
See Lewis v. United States:
http://www.supremelaw.org/decs/lewis/
Staff of that SOS were interested in this question, but deferred it to the
Washington State Attorney General.
The AG then replied that, as a private Citizen, I was not entitled to request
and obtain an Attorney General Opinion on that question, because I was
not listed among the State government officers who are so entitled.
But, the point was made, nevertheless!
Sincerely yours,

REQUEST FOR INFORMAL ATTORNEY GENERAL OPINION
TO: Office of the Attorney General
Attention: Opinions Editor
P.O. Box 40100
Olympia 98504-0100
WASHINGTON STATE, USA
FROM: Paul Andrew Mitchell, B.A., M.S.
Private Attorney General, 18 U.S.C. 1964, Rotella v. Wood
DATE: May 19, 2009 A.D.
SUBJECT: registration of Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco
as a foreign corporation with branch offices in Seattle
Greetings Washington State Attorney General:
Our office has been retained by a husband and wife who previously petitioned for relief from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Spokane, Washington State.
That litigation recently resulted in the filing and service of a DECLARATION OF INSOLVENCY by the United States appearing ex rel. as Interpleader. A hard copy is attached, and a fully hyperlinked version is also here on the Internet, for your convenience:
http://www.supremelaw.org/cc/fox2/insolvency.htm
To satisfy due diligence, my office attempted to obtain information identifying the Registered Agent for service of process on the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, with branch offices in Seattle.
However, the Washington State Secretary of State informed us via email that the Federal Reserve Banks are not registered with them as foreign corporations, even though the Ninth Circuit has held that Federal Reserve Banks are “privately owned and locally controlled corporations.” See Lewis v. United States, 680 F.2d 1239 (1982).
Briefly, Mr. Lewis was hit by a Federal Reserve vehicle in Los Angeles, and he sued the United States (Federal Government) to recover the resulting damages under the Federal Tort Claims Act. The Ninth Circuit held that Lewis sued the wrong party, however, because the Federal Reserve Banks are not Federal agencies for purposes of that Act. The Ninth Circuit then went into some detail itemizing all of the reasons why those Banks are not Federal agencies.
Because Lewis supra is now binding case law within the entire Ninth Circuit, we argue that the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco should register as a foreign corporation with the Office of the Washington State Secretary of State, due to its substantial business presence here.
We also argue that, as a foreign corporation, the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco should display a proper identifying suffix such as “Inc.” or “Corp.” in all written occurrences of that proper entity name. Even though a Federal corporation was originally created by Act of Congress, it is not thereby exempted from obeying all applicable Washington State constitutional provisions, statutes and regulations.
On this point, please see also Daly v. The National Life Insurance Company of the United States of America, in which the Indiana Supreme Court held in the year 1878 A.D. as follows:
"Foreign Corporation" Defined. -- The statutes of this State define a foreign corporation to be "a corporation created by or under the laws of any other state, government, or country," or one "not incorporated or organized in this State".
Same. -- Insurance Company Created by Act of Congress. -- An insurance company created by an act of Congress is a foreign corporation subject to the requirements of the statute of this State approved June 17th, 1852, "respecting foreign corporations and their agents in this State." 1 R.S. 1876, p. 373.
Same. -- Congress as a Local Legislature. -- Constitutional Law. -- An act of Congress creating a private corporation is the act of Congress as the local Legislature of the District of Columbia; as Congress can not, under the federal constitution, as the Congress of the United States, create a private corporation.
[bold emphasis added]
The Tenth Amendment clarifies these holdings quite neatly: to create a Federal corporation that is national in scope would thereby invade States’ Rights to charter their own domestic corporations. Thus, Congress can only create a Federal corporation, like the Federal Reserve Banks and the Union Pacific Railroad Company, when it enacts municipal law in its capacity as the Legislature for the federal zone:
http://www.supremelaw.org/fedzone11/
Accordingly, my office and our bankruptcy clients hereby request an Informal Attorney General Opinion on the following two (2) questions:
(1) Is the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, with branch offices in Seattle, required to register with the Washington State Secretary of State as a foreign corporation, in order fully to comply with applicable Washington State statutes regulating foreign corporations with a substantial business presence inside Washington State?
(2) Are the People of Washington State ex rel. Private Attorney General eligible as such to request a Formal Attorney General Opinion?
Thank you very much for your professional consideration.
Sincerely yours,
/s/ Paul Andrew Mitchell, B.A., M.S.

Ron Paul's Video Message For You
Just two days remain before the FEC reporting deadline.
If you have already made a contribution, I thank you and ask that you forward this message on to some friends and encourage them to help our R3VOLUTION.
If you have not yet contributed, please do so today.
My new campaign video explains just how critical this current fundraising effort is, and updates the excitement the campaign is generating.
Our campaign flew past the $3 million raised goal I initially set for the June 30th FEC reporting deadline; right now we are closing in on $4 million.
This outpouring of support has led to our campaign setting a new benchmark of $5 million raised by tomorrow’s deadline.
While the establishment will go to any lengths to dismiss our R3VOLUTION, they will not be able to ignore the reality that my campaign has enthusiasm and fundraises like a top-tier effort.
So please, watch the video update and make a generous contribution of $20.12, $35, $50, $100, $250, or maybe even the legal maximum of $2,5000 ($5,000 per couple), right away.
For Liberty,
Congressman Ron Paul

Subject: Video message for you
Dear Juan,
The campaign is really taking off. We blew past our initial goal of raising $3 million and are now pushing hard to make our new goal of $5 million before the June 30th FEC filing deadline!
This effort is crucial to proving to the establishment "gatekeepers" that our R3VOLUTION is a force to be reckoned with.
I hope you'll take a few moments to watch this special video I recorded on the status of the campaign and what it will take to win the Republican nomination.
You see, unlike the establishment candidates, I don't have millstones like RomneyCare, support for Cap and Tax, and TARP hanging from my neck.
I am the only candidate in this race who has a consistent conservative record of supporting low taxes, sound money, and the Constitution.
And as 2010 showed, conservatives can upset the establishment applecart.
So please, click here to watch my special campaign video update.
After you watch the video, please make a generous contribution of $20, $35, $50, $100, $250 – or whatever you can afford up to the legal maximum of $2,500 ($5,000 per couple) – so my campaign can take the fight to the establishment in early voting states like Iowa and New Hampshire.
For Liberty,
Ron Paul
P.S. Earlier this week, I announced a challenge for my campaign to reach $5 million before the June 30th FEC filing deadline.
I hope you'll take a few moments to watch this special video I recorded on the status of the campaign and what it will take to win the Republican nomination.
Then, please click here to make a contribution of $20, $35, $50, $100, $250 – or whatever you can afford up to the legal maximum of $2,500 ($5,000 per couple) – so my campaign can take the establishment head on in early voting states like Iowa and New Hampshire.
