Watch the spot
Scrubbers have a poor track record on DRTV. Despite the non-DRTV success of Scrub Daddy, for example, Telebrands' follower item (Hog Wash Scrubber) went nowhere. Both Allstar and Ontel have also tried scrubbers (Dual Diamond Scrubber, Magic Sponge). My hypothesis: Such items are just too common to motivate an impulse purchase.
S7 Analysis: "Too common" is another way of saying this is a crowded category, and such categories make it hard to come up with something that's truly different.
