demoFor those of us who remember the civil rights movement and others, one strategy stands out in the fight to grab people’s attention…demonstrate, demonstrate, demonstrate. And when you’re done demonstrating, demonstrate again. Don’t be reticent to show your product in use, then show it again… especially in DRTV. Make it memorable. In fact, make the most memorable demonstrations you possibly can. Show how easy it is to use. Is it so easy a child can do it? Then show a child using it. Don’t just talk about it, use it. Get the camera in close so your viewers can see it working. Get your hands all over it, so your viewers feel familiar with it. Does it clean up a mess? Make a big, attention-riveting mess. And when you’re all done and you’ve asked for their business, show your viewers one more, totally unexpected, you guessed it…demonstration.

This DRTV spot for Flirty Girl might be a lot of fun for the guys to watch but is it a serious product? While it does seem to be a high-energy workout, the poles, the chairs and the moves all seem better oriented for a gentleman’s club. Maybe it’s not designed to sell product, but instead be a stripper training video. You decide.

DRTV is hot right now and many major brands that in the past would have never considered DRTV are giving it a try. It’s a wonderful, trackable advertising option that should be on all marketer’s radar. Well… maybe not all marketers. Here’s an ill-conceived product and spot that would at first seem as if it’s a Saturday Night Live parody. But, alas, it’s not. Check it out and see what you think. Occasionally we’re going to post these gems and at some point we’ll vote for the best… or is that the worst?
