Well Dave, Here's the rebuttal...
As far as the spot being cheesy, of course it is! Most infomercials are! I don't think I personally have ever made a purchase due to one, but I'm not normal (just ask Utha and Scooby). There are millions of people, though, that buy EVERYTHING they see on TV. They'll want this for sure! The techies, financial wizards, and Mensans will see it, check it out on their own (since they'll know how to do that) and determine that it's great because of the concept, not because of the flashing signs on TV.
As far as not accepting Visa, Mastercard, Amex, who says they don't? Have you called the toll free number on the infomercial and tried to order one? I would think they do accept them, and when I get home from work I'll run the spot again to get the phone number; then call it to find out for sure.
I guess I don't really want to argue, since I know you're one of the more sensible people here. I agree that there has to be more than just this to get the word out on the revolution about to hit, but this is certainly one avenue that can't be overlooked. Maybe the infomercial consultant was the first one to give eConnect some bang for their million shares! Who knows, maybe we'll see skywriters next week...town criers...Volkswagen Beetles painted to look like eCashPads driving through all the major cities' financial districts...after all, there are a lot of consultants out there!
Best regards,
