Do you love your product so much you can’t help but shout about it? Here’s why Teleshopping is for you

Teleshopping gives you the opportunity to tell your brand’s story by taking over a specific time within an infomercial and selling directly to the viewer. Even better, our Teleshopping slots (within the hours of 1am to 8am) are available across ITV2, ITVBe, ITV3 and ITV4, including +1 and HD, giving you an extensive mix of channels to choose from to build a deeper understanding of your product, with the right audience and at the right time. Even at night time, there is something for everyone.
 

There will be three main ingredients that will differentiate your Teleshopping campaign:

  • Product on screen

  • Purchase mechanism (Website or Phone) on screen

  • Price on screen 

In the early 1990s, psychiatrist Thomas Wehr conducted an experiment in which a group of people we're plunged into darkness for 14 hours every day for a month. It took some time for their sleep to regulate but by the fourth week the subjects had settled into a very distinct sleeping pattern. They slept first for four hours, then woke for one or two hours before falling into a second four-hour sleep" The Myth Of The Eight Hour Sleep

By speaking directly to the viewer, Teleshopping enables you to really pitch your product, whether its long-form targeting of 30 minutes to our specialised audiences or if you just need short-form targeting of 3-12 minutes, ITV Teleshopping has got you covered.
