My assistant, Kelly, is one of the most passionate QVC customers I know. She LOVES QVC…and Diamonique® jewelry…and Dooney & Bourke…and…, well, you get the picture.

To keep track of all the products she gets excited about, Kelly keeps a list. Lots of avid QVC shoppers do. I’ve talked with customers who keep their favorite item numbers almost anywhere--scrap pieces of paper, post-it notes, you name it. However, Kelly’s list is in Microsoft Excel. It’s in a SPREADSHEET, people! She is NOT kidding around.

When I learned of this list-keeping method (dare we say obsession?), I encouraged Kelly to create her very own Wish List at QVC.com. And, I let her know all the reasons it’s perfect for a professional list-maker, such as herself.

First off, it’s easy. When our holiday programming gives you ideas and you want to be able to remember a product, go to the item’s QVC.com Product Detail page. Then just click “Add to Wish List.” The item gets added with its price. On the QVC.com homepage, the Wish List link is right up at the top right of the screen.

Wish List is really convenient. You can sort the items in various ways, such as lowest to highest price. Anytime you’re ready to order, you can Speed Order or add the item to your shopping cart directly from the Wish List.

And, the Wish List keeps track of everything for you. You can write notes to yourself about the item and save it in the Wish List. You can even set a reminder to send the item to someone for a gift or compare two items you’re considering.

Everyone wants to give just the perfect gift–and who knows what you want better than you? Besides the holidays, your list makes a nice bridal or “special occasion” registry you can send to family and friends. Visit the Wish List anytime to view what you’ve saved.

I’m happy to report that earlier this month, Kelly--if somewhat hesitantly--started her online Wish List. It’s still a work in progress, but as she moves away from her spreadsheet “system,” I’ll ask Kelly to post here and share her experiences firsthand.

And if you have any Wish List tips I missed, go ahead and share. The more the merrier, especially during the holiday season.

All the best,
Dan

P.S. – check out the video tutorial. We've added even more great features to Wish List (like email a friend) since this tutorial was created, but it still gives you a great idea of how to use this feature.
