Just surfing thru the channels tonight (Midnight EDT) and saw 15 minute Chantal segment on HSN (Home Shopping Network) with Polly Bergen. Gave a positive presentation of a kit with retail price of $203, with regular HSN price of $99, but today offering kit at introductory price of $89. Apparently this was the third segment today and host indicated that only 3,000 kits were available at this price and when they were ending the segment, the host indicated that only 140 were left. Presentation done by Ms. Bergen was very professional and included live shots of Karen as well as many other photo/video shots of Chantal models. Based upon these shots, it appears the product does work for some people. Also had a caller from Dallas who indicated she saw product on another talk show but couldn't find in her area (?) and was ecstatic she could order now. Ms. Bergen urged anyone buying to call her with their results and also indicated that she would be back in about 6 weeks, indicating that this kit would last approx. this long. Appears that this type of marketing could yield good results, the question is what type of return business will result and if they will make more kits available at the next show. Obviously the publicity can't hurt either. Can't afford to give up yet (holding since 6.5). Anyhow, at least we have some positive news.
