Live TV offers your product the opportunity to been seen in the way in which it is intended to be used and enjoyed by the customer. There are no dusty store shelves to sit on at QVC and HSN - so ask yourself, can your product take advantage of live TV and offer compelling demonstrations that bring it and your brand to life?

Wouldn't we all want to experience the true, classic French butter croissant? With its rich creamy French butter, its soft, tenuous, flaky layers of pastry melting in your mouth - and as we stand in our kitchen full with the aroma of Paris we are immediately transported to a delightful sidewalk patisserie on the Avenue de Champs Elysees.... and well, you get the point
