Thane Direct mainly promotes and sells its product lines through infomercials geared around a specific product, or range of themed products. As well as compelling viewers to order products immediately over the phone, the channel heavily promotes its own website, where there is more information on the products featured, as well as other available products for purchase.

Thane Direct is owned and operated by Thane International, which is one of the largest direct response television marketing companies in the world. Thane Direct is one of seven home shopping television channels owned by Thane International worldwide.
