Week 5

This week on Pitchmen:

Billy and Sully come face to face with two interesting products. Neither of which are really all that unique. One was invented by a seventeen year old kid, which is very impressive to say the least, but his product is a tough sell. His story may be the only thing that saves him.

The other product, The Heel Stick, is a product that will hit home for a specific market, which may cause some problems for the inventor. Both Billy and Sully agreed that the product was worth a shot.

The Spot Sucker

The Spot Sucker is a small tool that will quickly and effectively remove a stain spot from an article of clothing. The idea is to be able to remove a coffee, chocolate, wine, ink or other stain quickly while someone is on-the-go.

The Spot Sucker works great. The demonstration that was done on Pitchmen was convincing and impressive. The inventor was confident in his product because it does indeed address a common problem that many people have. The setback is, the problem has already been addressed by multiple other products.

Tide To Go and the Magic Wand are a couple of products that have already been marketed and already been successful in solving the stain spot removal issue. It will be hard for the Spot Sucker to bust through that wall.

Billy and Sully ended up investing a decent amount of money to the Spot Sucker, and it generated some serious interest in some big time players in the industry, but I just don't see how it can compete in the market.

If it weren't for the other products already out there, I would stand by this product whole-heartedly. It's innovative, creative, and most importantly...it works.

The Heel Stick

The Heel Stick is nothing new, but it does seem to work better than its competitors. The product is a simple stick of ingredients that can help anyone with dry and cracked heels and feet. The results can be seen within a couple of days, and it appears as though the changes are dramatic.

The testing done for the Heel Stick provided some strong testimonials from the women who used it. The before and after photos were very impressive, but whether or not these were actresses and the photos were real, we may never know. After all this is a TV show.

Both Billy Mays and Anthony Sullivan liked the product and got behind it. They did the infomercial for it, and the product was a great success. I would have to say that since both of these guys stand by this product, in addition to it selling, that I would use this product if I had this problem!

The Heel Stick is cheap enough to try, and all signs point to it being a good product. Next time I come down with a severe case of cracked heel, this is what I would use!
