By Peter Zalla, IMS Long-Form Manager

ost of the top-performing infomercials of 2011 are established shows that are familiar to the Infomercial Monitoring Service (IMS) rankings. Beauty products have had a stronger presence in 2011 than in recent years, with four shows ranking in the top 10, including Guthy-Renker’s Wen (No. 1) and Meaningful Beauty (No. 5). The well-received Lifestyle Lift by Lifestyle Lift Holding Inc. finished at No. 2 (rising from No. 16 last year) and Radiancy’s no! no! rose 30 spots to No. 7. Other top shows in the category include: the Tria
Laser (No. 25) by Tria Beauty; the InStyler (No. 33) by Tre Milano: Murad Resurgence (No. 42) by Murad; NuBrillance (No. 45) by NuBrilliance LLC; and MaxClarity by Stiefel Laboratories Inc. One show introduced in 2011 that has been performing well is a skin-care line targeting women with darker skin called Rx for Brown Skin.
