QVC Should Offer Laura Weathers. . .

Sooner — Fri, 24 Jun 2016 15:57:47 GMT

QVC should offer her the sun, moon and stars to come in once a month, or seasonally for a two hour show on either KitchenAid or cooking in general featuring a lot of products and COOKING! Not dancing and shouting and yukking it up. But a show where she features maybe recipes for upcoming holidays, talks about cooking them and STORING them, how long you can freeze the items, how far in advance you can make them, etc.

I even long for Bob and others who actually COOKED.

Not to appear like a dunce, but is Laura the Kitchen Aid rep? If so, I really like her.

I don't want to be blunt, but QVC is all about selling product, not conducting a home economics class. The are some people on the Food Channel who do actually cook and explain. Since we don't know why Laura left, it's possible she's not welcome to return.

Yes, Laura was the kitchen aid rep.

I don't necessarily want to see them cook, just a better explanation of how the product works. I don't think that is too much to ask.

"I don't want to be blunt" but I am going to be. . .

Food Channel talks about cooking. I want to see how you best use these appliances to make a cake or whip egg whites and how it can help make a good recipe that is tried and true. Show me how to use the pasta attachments and give me some ideas and recipes. I would like to see someone actually work with the products and show us how to use them efficiently and to their maximum benefit for the kitchen.

All I am asking is SHOW me how to use it and what attachments actually function for what purposes. Give me some techniques and recipes. DEMO the product. Mostly what I see is someone spinning around, eating and talking about pretty colors.

I would MUCH rather know what this thing does so I won't be disappointed when I get it and have to send the darned thing back, or let it sit in my kitchen.

I get tired of presenters getting cut off so we can go over colors again, or units sold.

I don't care, I want to see how the product works.

The reason the vendors get cut off so the host can go over colors and numbers sold was mentioned in a couple of articles. The producer in the host's ear knows when sales spike in real time, and they always spike when, you got it, the host goes over colors, and when the number of items sold are announced. It's sales, and it must be working very well or they'd change their presentation tactics.

Laura was good and she did show how to use the products in many ways. The new lady, while nice, is about her recipes-or David makes it about her recipes.

I emailed the Q about Laura and received a response ( guess I could have made my inquiry in a softer way) :

AS A CUSTOMER FOR NEARLY 30 YEARS I HAVE GROWN ACCUSTOMED TO YOUR VENDOR REPS. I SO LOVED LAURA WEATHERS WHO BROUGHT US KITCHENAID. WHILE I RESPECT HER PRIVACY, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN APPROPRIATE FOR YOU TO TELL US SHE WOULD NO LONGER BE ON THE Q. COULD YOU NOT HAVE TOLD HER FOLLOWERS WHAT WAS HAPPENING? DID SHE RETIRE? Why wasn't she given a sendoff? I would very much appreciate an answer, not just an acknowledgement of my email.
Thank you.

"Thank you for emailing QVC.

In regards to your inquiry, Laura Weathers has retired from the KitchenAid
company, inturn taking her off air from QVC.

It has been a pleasure assisting you. Thank you for shopping with QVC!

Best regards,

Traci"

Laura is gone. We do not know why, and we never will. The decision could have been hers, QVC's, or KitchenAid's. She is not coming back. Accept it.

As far as the presentations, QVC is not here to teach us ro cook. It is here to sell things. Part of the sales presentations much include repetitive mentions of colors, features, price, etc., as people are constantly tuuning into the presentations. (The world does not watch TV on your schedule.)

If you want to learn to cook, use the product, get more information, etc., use the computer in front of you (the one you frequently use to complain about QVC and how it does not operate the way you want it to ) and look up the information. Problem solved.

I haven't had any problems with the demos from the new rep. YouTube has tons of hands on demos with reviews without the sales pitch.

@KYToby So, since I can see color for myself Look up prices from many different sellers, and watch Demos on the web, You are telling me there really is NO reason to watch QVC at all.

LOL!!! Yep, that "but" is followed by doing it anyway. Don't people think we notice??? Does the "but" negate what you say afterward?

Didn't she have a Pinterest or FB page? I don't think she was actually that old as she spoke about her teenaged son. I liked her too and felt she knew her products well.
