NASCAR driver, Stanton Barrett, has staked his place among racing leaders at a variety of NASCAR events behind the wheel of the #60 OdoBan Ford. The infomercial will feature an endorsement for the product line from Barrett.
The OdoBan direct response television campaign, which is slated to begin testing April 21 consist of a long-form program hosted by DRTV veteran Tom Jourden. The detail-oriented program will demonstrate the uses and effectiveness of the flagship product, OdoBan-Odor Eliminator & Disinfectant, which eliminates foul odors such as tobacco, smoke, mildew, pets, cooking and urine from both fabrics and porous surfaces while leaving a long lasting, pleasant eucalyptus fragrance and introduce some of the other products in the OdoBan line.

This package offer will allow everyone to experience the Clean Control Family of OdoBan SOULUTIONS for cleaning and deodorizing dilemmas – an entire line of products to make your world clean, fresh and odor free!
“OdoBan-Odor Eliminator & Disinfectant is the original odor eliminator, since 1980 and has a phenomenal following in the Sam’s Club environment, which represents roughly 5& of all American consumers. Infoworx will help us target the additional 95% – and introduce the Family of OdoBan products through this DRTV brand building initiative,” said Steve Davison, president of Clean Control Corporation.
Infoworx is applying its turnkey infomarketing model to this direct response campaign in order to minimize costs, while maximizing the return on investment. Infoworx is responsible for all production, telemarketing, fulfillment, media placement and reporting for the campaign. The company will test the campaign on national cable stations. To guarantee further exposure, Infoworx plans to distribute the product on live home shopping channels as well as international direct response television. Infoworx’s one-stop-shop model will reduce costs and time spent on the campaign, as Clean Control will not have to bid media, fulfillment and telemarketing services to costly outside firms.
“Our goal is to create a branding campaign that will pay for itself through the direct response sales. The DRTV medium enables us to explain the unique cleaning abilities of Clean Control, setting itself apart from retail shelf competitors,” said Ron Perlstein, CEO and Executive Producer at Infoworx.
