Infomercials are late night shopper’s secret

Kevin Holloway

Many people flip through the channels on their televisions during late night programming and often bypass those infomercials that permeate the wee hours.
But there is a culture of millions who watch those infomercials.
As Seen on TV is the name of this culture and it is becoming a force to be reckoned with in the retail game.
Although shopping in a traditional store is convenient and the normal thing to do, shopping from bed is easier and a lot more fun.
But it all comes down to the product and the value. From the store, buyers just get the one item they purchased.
When shopping at A.S.O.T.V., it seems that with every item offered, they double that offer, often if ordered within a specific time frame using a credit or debit card.
However, many Americans may not feel comfortable ordering from the TV, or they may not have any debit or credit cards, but there is a solution.
Many A.S.O.T.V. stores are scattered across the nation, and even big retail chains are picking up on this new sensation.
Wal-Mart, Walgreens, CVS and more, all have aisles dedicated to the various items that are sold through infomercials.
So if something such as the Shark Steam Mop catch a buyer’s eye at 2 a.m. on an infomercial, the local Wal-Mart may carry it and most of the time they give the same deal as on TV.
In addition to the stores and commercials, A.S.O.T.V. also has a Web site, www.asotv.com, that is packed with gadgets and devices of all kinds.
Christmas shopping can be done right from bed and delivered to the buyer’s doorstep.
So the next time its 2 a.m. and infomercials are on trying to sell Mighty Putty to mend that dripping faucet, think twice about turning the channel before seeing what amazing bargain awaits.
This website has it all.
