Watch the spot

This concept has been tried at least once before (see 30 Minute Foot Repair). I never liked the perceived value because it always looks like a pair of plastic bags. More to the point, the timing is off for a foot product given the ASOTV section of every store is dominated by power pedicure devices right now. There's only room for one -- even if the one is a crazy duel.

S7 Analysis: As indicated above, the problems here will be with the needed and uncrowded criteria. The latter (too much on the shelf at retail) will impact the former.
