Telebrands Corporate Office

Telebrands is the original creator of the “As Seen on TV” logo and the oldest existing direct response marketing company.

Ajit J. Khubani began Telebrands in 1983 as a recent college graduate when he began selling a $10 version of the Sony Walkman. His small success with this product fueled his curiosity to find more products.

Telebrands expanded to television advertising in 1987 with a commercial to Ambervision Sunglasses. In 1989 Herman’s Sporting Goods placed the orange-lensed glasses on their shelves. The sunglasses became the company’s first million dollar product.

Today Telebrands markets its products using TV, internet, and print ads and through major retail chains worldwide in 120 countries.

The company’s best-selling product of all time is the PedEgg foot file, which has sold more than 45 million units sold.

Bloomingdale’s Corporate Office

Brothers Joseph and Lyman G. Bloomingdale opened their first shop in 1872 at 938 Third Avenue in New York City.

At the time the Upper East Side of Manhattan was a working-class neighborhood with shantytowns, garbage dumps, and stockyards. Within a few years of the store opening the Metropolitan Museum of Art opened, Central Park was finished, and the Lexington Avenue line started construction, all of which brought wealthier customers to the neighborhood.

In 1886 the store moved to its current location at 59th Street and Lexington Avenue. This was the center of the horse-drawn trolley system in New York and a convenient location for the store.

Today Bloomingdale’s is a chain of more than 35 upscale department stores and home stores in a dozen states. Bloomingdale’s is a subsidiary of Macy’s.

The Bloomingdale’s flagship store in New York City is a Manhattan institution and a tourist attraction.
