Kymaro goes to the Movies this Fall!
Guess what’s coming to a Movie, TV Show and your cell phone? Infomercials!
BJ Global Direct, an Irvine company built by 35-year direct response veteran BJ Fazeli, is finding all sorts of new media ways to get exposure for its products.
The company dreams up, manufactures and sells several dozen beauty and home fitness products under the brand name Kymaro.
The company’s biggest seller for the past couple of years is the Kymaro Body Shaper. The newest product is the Rhythm Rocker that Lacey Schwimmer of Dancing with the Stars is promoting.
“We started on television,” Fazeli says. In today’s world we have a second screen with the Internet. And the next step is a third screen we’re looking at, cell phones.”
The company’s selling website, UbuyEZ, has links to its commercials on YouTube. It also has Facebook and Twitter accounts and a blog.
“We’re breaking onto the silver screen with product placement in a movie this fall,” Fazeli says. He won’t disclose the name of the movie but says that in one scene, an actor will be watching an infomercial for the Body Shaper and the toll-free ordering number will be visible.
“We don’t expect people in the theater to write down the phone number but when the movie goes to DVD, people can pause it and write down the number,” he says.
BJ Global is also doing product integration with a Reality TV show this fall. Again, Fazeli says he can’t yet give the name of the show but the theme will be ultimate fighting for women and the Kymaro Rhythm Rocker will be one of the pieces of equipment used to get into fighting shape.
“We’re marketers,” Fazeli explains. “You just keep your ear to the ground and keep moving with technology.”

Sherri Shepherd from ‘The View’ LOVES the Rhythm Rocker!
Today was another day of big giveaways on ‘The View’ (Weekdays, Syndicated on ABC), but if someone wants the Rhythm Rocker that Sherri Shepherd demonstrated on the show, they may have a fight on their hands. Shepherd took quite a liking to the Rhythm Rocker today, a fitness product from Kymaro that is supposed to allow you to exercise by “dancing in place.”
And dance Shepherd did, rhythmically gyrating and putting on a show for the camera, as the spokesman encouraged her with quips like, “the rhythm is gonna get ya.” She worked the machine long and hard enough, seemingly enjoying herself the whole way through, that Whoopi Goldberg had to step away from the hilarious spectacle.
Sherri Shepherd really loves the Kymaro Rhythm Rocker!
Watch Sherri use the Kymaro Rhythm Rocker on ABC’s The View!
