Could shoppable, funny infomercials be the key to nailing mobile commerce? That's the proposition behind MikMak, a new app that puts a twist on gimmicky television commercials.
Brooklyn-based MikMak has seven full-time staffers who work with stand-up comedians to churn out shoppable videos posted to the app in a news feed-style format every night at 9 p.m. ET. So far, the team has produced 500 videos with 25 hosts.
"There are psychological and data-driven elements to infomercials that are ripe for reinvention for all of us who grew up on the iPhone," explained founder and CEO Rachel Tipograph.
Each 30-second clip shows a picture of the product followed by a pithy sales sketch.
