Weekly Round-Up

  1. Orgreenic Everyday Pan. Marketer: Telebrands. Pitch: "Cook, mix and serve all in one family-size pan." Comments: Posting for posterity only as this one's a line extension selling for $39.99. [ss]
  2.  
  3. Bling Dots. Pitch: "Makes wearing earrings more comfortable, more secure and more beautiful." Comments: Seems like a good bonus, but not a stand-alone item. [ss]
  4.  
  5. Bling Wraps. Pitch: "Secures your rings in place so stones sit right on top and make jewelry look its very best." Comments: Another good bonus item. I'm not even sure the two items together would make a strong enough offer for DRTV. It's a shame, too, because this marketer clearly invested a lot of money in quality production work. [ss]
  6.  
  7. Corner Colander. Marketer: Allstar. Pitch: "Raises the colander from the bottom of your sink to the corner of your counter, leaving those icky germs behind." Comments: A 'fast fail.' (Spot is here.) [ss]
  8.  
  9. Gleener. Marketer: Northern Response. Pitch: "The ultimate fuzz and lint remover." Comments: Ontel's Lint Wizard Pro stored lint and fur in an internal reservoir. Vince Offer's Schticky (and Telebrands' Sticky Buddy) were washable and reusable hundreds of times. This item seems to be different from a normal lint remover in design only. Actually, its main demo seems to be removing sweater fuzz, which Ontel rightfully viewed as a more of a bonus-item idea (see Fuzz Wizard). (Spot is here.) [ss]
