Cathy Mitchell “In ’89, the FCC released the half-hour infomercial format where you could buy a half an hour of time. Everyone was kind of scrambling,” she said. “I think Ron Popeil probably did the first one, but I was one of the first three. The guy who owned the Snackmaster said, ‘Hey, these TV commercial things are kind of interesting, why don’t we try one?’ We went down to a little studio in San Diego, rented it for five hours. By today’s standards it was like, hey, let’s put on a show in the garage. No food stylist, no makeup lady. You know, I had to borrow a lipstick from the secretary in the outside office’s purse. But funny story, because afterward, the guy who owned the company said, ‘You know, we never talked about paying you. I’ll give you a thousand dollars for your time here today or I’ll give you fifty cents for every machine we sell. But bear in mind we might not sell any.’ So I took the 50 cents and we sold a million machines.”
@60gregma10 ай бұрын
And in 1992, Clark National Inc. went out of business. So even selling a million machines couldn't keep the company afloat. Dave Clark either made so much he could retire, or lost his butt.
