QVC/HSN Cross Overs

cyw_3825 — Wed, 03 Oct 2018 02:21:41 GMT

I readily admit that I’m resistant to change, but I just don’t

like seeing Beauty Bioscience on QVC. I had to do a double take. I relate Beauty Bioscience to HSN. Yes, I know QVC now owns HSN...blah, blah, blah. However, I appreciate one brand per one home shopping channel. I don’t like these cross overs. It’s stupid. Both QVC & HSN don’t both need to sell Beauty Bioscience, Dooney & Burke, etc. I just don’t like it. I know it sounds sort of weird, but still. Too many changes. It’s turning me off. I don’t like the new graphics on HSN either. I hope I don’t turn on HSN tomorrow morning and see Josie Maran!

OMG I thinking about this today after the Keurig TS on HSN. Thank you for staring this thread.

I was curious how QVC is liking Joy? I realize that could be it's own thread. Joy has many many products under her name and not under her name.

@cyw_3825: I don't mean to be critical. But, I don't understand what the concern is regarding QVC and HSN selling some of the same items. To me, it's no different than, for example, shopping at Macy's and JC Penney. Meaning, you can shop at one, you can shop at the other OR you can shop at both. It's all a matter of choice.

Yes, I saw the Keurig on HSN too. Thumbs down! Keurig is QVC all the way! Can you imagine Adrienne Arpel on QVC!?!?!

@cyw_3825 I totally agree!

for me HSN website has link to qvc, but my qvc web doesn't have HSN link

I have a HSN cc card so if I could the few qvc items on my HSN card, that would be good.

@cyw_3825I feel the same - and just saw the BioScience tool wondering why it was on both and was thought on night why is the "My Pillow" guy was on there on HSN? Maybe some don't like Q or HSN as I didn't and they wanna reach as many peeps as possible... both are merely a sales company out to make $$$ ..it ends at that really.

I understand why they are doing a crossover between the channels. According to all the data available online and the quarterly stockholder reports, HSN shoppers typically spend less, have a lower disposable income and make less overall purchases compared to the QVC shopper. It looks to me as if QVC is trying to expand the market over both channels. HSN now sells Clarks shoes. The Clarks offered on HSN are the entry level Clarks. Same with some of the Dooney bags. They moved Vince Camuto over to the Q which makes sense when you look at the demographics for each channel. I think they are trying to appeal to the average customer at each channel and offer products that fit the demographics. I wonder if they will move Heidi Daus back over to QVC? She has a strong following on HSN but I wouldn't be surprised if we see her on the Q.

You can be critical. I don’t care. I’m just stating my opinion and feelings. I’m guessing too that QVC & HSN shoppers are probably more loyal and dedicated shoppers than those who shop at Macy’s & JCPenney. Plus, I don’t think you can compare Macy’s & JCPenney. Macy’s is a couple of steps up from JCPenney. Sears & JCPenney, yeah, but not Macy’s & JCPenney.

@mimi5775 Totally off subject. I just saw your signature about your son. I can't imagine the pain and sorrow. I am so sorry and will keep you in my prayers.

Andrew is probably next....If the sales volume and the savings are passed on to us, I am all in. But that rarely happens

Remember Andrew, Perlier and Joy all started on the Q , then deflected to HSN.

Judith Ripka is debuting on HSN sometime this month I think it is.

I have said more than once I really see a merger between both companies down the road and one of them going away. There is no reason for 2 channels to sell the same exact products.

If I were the hosts on HSN, I'd be a little nervous.

@cyw_3825, I totally agree with you. I know it probably sounds weird, but I do understand what you're saying. What is the point? Why can't they just remain separate and continue how they've been? It's like a odd kind of loyalty thing, and all of the channel jumping just turns me off.

And, yes, I readily admit, I am also resistant to change.

And quite honestly, I have not seen any benefit to the customer from these changes. Why make changes like these that cause the customer to be turned off and spend less? That has been the impact to my shopping behavior at least.

I agree with you. The brands which QVC sells can be found anywhere so it doesn't matter to me that they are on HSN as well now. I rarely watch HSN to begin with so maybe that's why I don't see that its a big deal. Its actually more of a convenience now.

I’ve received many 20% off coupons from HSN!

I have recently spent much less on both QVC and HSN since all these cross overs. I just don’t care for them!

And I was quite the big spender! Not as much any more.
