A few years ago, Anthony Sullivan (shameless name drop) and I worked on an item similar to this one we called Hydro Max. Although we spent a lot of time on the spot and it came out great, it bombed.
My conclusion: With two brilliant DRTV marketers dedicated to the item, the only possible reason it could have failed is that DRTV consumers don't want this type of product.
But I could be biased.
(On an unrelated side note, did anyone else feel like watching Entertainment Tonight after viewing this spot?)
