• Our infoMERCHial will be a ~60-minute block during our scheduled programming. The purpose is to feature up to five of your KH-centric pieces in a QVC/infomercial-style video. It will be premiering on the first day of the March Caprice weekend (March 24) to let everyone take advantage of the sales during the entire event. Afterward, your individual segments will be split into “commercials” and added into the rotation during our Twitch/YouTube streams. Any merchandise that is being shown as a part of the infoMERCHial may be the same or different from the piece you submit for the Merchandisers tab on the website.
• This will be a special event, similar to last year’s Concert Soirée, highlighting merchandisers during our scheduled programming.
• We’ll need a short paragraph description for each piece, as well as a link to the listing on your store. Please take advantage of this description to list any information that may not be present in your listing. Example: What was your creative process? What do you like about your medium? Our audience would love to hear about it!
• We’ll also need B-roll footage. It should be 720p-1080p, shot in Landscape orientation, no bigger than 1GB, and no longer than 15 minutes, per person. It must be in an MP4 format. You can be as creative with your shots as you like, but we do require at least one (1) 360° rotating shot of each piece. Be sure to take your time with this particular shot, slow and steady is the way to go.
• Otherwise, you can  take advantage of our new service that we’re offering as a part of this year’s March Caprice. We will professionally shoot a video of your merch for you. These pieces will need to be received by our videographer by March 4th. Please plan accordingly, we will be shutting down our PO box after March 4th. The address is currently TBD.
