Duraflame during ITKWD

rnin85 — Sun, 25 Sep 2016 19:05:13 GMT

Why do they find it necessary to present a non-kitchen/food item during ITKWD. The Duraflame heater is not a kitchen or food related item. Really tired of this sort of thing-they seem to be doing it more frequently these days.

QVC is a retailer -- not a cooking school. it sells things. if you wanting cooking instructions, try PBS, Food Network, or Cooking Channel.

As a retailer, QVC is going to promote its merchandise, partiularly the TSV. Because of this why woud they not show the TSV during ITKWD? Do you honestly think they are going to go 3 hours -- particularly one of the most heavily-viewed time periods on its schedule -- without showing the TSV?

Would you say the same thing if they presented an item of clothing or a piece of jewelry during ITKWD? All I am saying is that as the TSV is not a food /kitchen related item and the had a presentation in the show before his and a full hour of the TSV scheduled after his show, why present the item during his show. No, I am not looking for a cooking instruction show--not sure where you got this idea at.

I am not talking about the full hour show of the TSV scheduled after ITKWD? The TSV was presented about an hour into the ITKWD show.

I understand how you feel...i feel the same way when they advertise a clothing hour...and show 1 or more beauty items during it.................beauty hours are plentiful..and yet you never see any other products throughout their hours....

I agree, it seems like they are really trying to push the TSV down our throats. I thought this weekend was supposed to be a countdown to Christmas but there was a shortage of Christmas shows. Before ITKWD, there was a full hour of the TSV and before that show, they had it on in a Christmas show for about 20 or so minutes. And yes, I do change the channel when there is something on that I;m not interested in. This same situation happens with a lot of TSVs--mattress shows and Bose come to mind.

Yet you never see them interrupt a Dyson, or mattress show, or WEN or any other of the "regulars" so David can cook a little something or they can spend 20 min presenting a D&C pair of jeans.

I see and feel an aura of desperation on Q presentations lately.

i have a duraflame in our kitchen. it is so great on a cold winter morning when you come into the kitchen to make your first cup of coffee. it takes the chill out of the air. so yes, i would consider it a "kitchen item."

I was going to say the same thing @sunshine45. Several times already today the hosts have mentioned how the Duraflame is great to warm any room, including the kitchen. Any TSV that can be used in the kitchen is going to be included ITKWD. We've seen vacuum cleaners, tablets (any electronic that can assist with recipes) cleaning products, and yes the Duraflame. David generates big sales for QVC; they're going to bend those kitchen boundaries every way they can.

@rnin85 <why present the item during his show. >

to sell it? QVC is a shopping channel. I have to admit I did a double take and looked at screen then clock to see if I was confused! Successful sales depends on making the customer need an item .

I guess technically as other posters have mentioned you may want a heater in the kitchen just like a bose for music or clean your floors with vaccum TSV. I have a small kitchen and can hardly find room for any more small appliances let alone a heater, but know people with large cold kitchens that could probably use one.

I'm sure you're right, and it's their choice anyway. The Sunday kitchen show is the only one I watch all week. But when they go off on a non kitchen tangent I turn it off, and I seldom remember to tune back in. I must not miss it very much!

@KaySD I am the same way. I watch but then something will come on that for me doesn't fit into the show and off I wander usually never to return.

Actually, since I rarely am on QVC's home page, ever since someone told me you can preview what will be on the show I now give that a glance so I know if there is one thing in particular I would like to see to stick around so I don't miss it.

It wasn't that long ago that QVC did NOT put the tsv on shows that was not related to it in some way. Wonder what happened

Re: Duraflame during ITKWD

Mothertrucker — Sun, 02 Oct 2016 16:13:47 GMT

I consider myself a pretty well-rounded person and though I pretty much ony watch ITKWD on the Q, I am certainly not adverse to being presented with "non-kitchen" (and that could be a matter of opinion, many people have fireplces in their kitchens)..items that are a SpecialValue...

I mind it WAY less than those "targeted" ads that pop up constantly when I am on the internet!

Re: Duraflame during ITKWD

Mominohio — Sun, 02 Oct 2016 16:22:35 GMT

They are doing this because David sells and big time.

They have a regular large captive audience during In the Kitchen, and they know that people will stick around for the rest of the show.

David will sell an item, when no other host can. He just has a very large following and is great at his job. The company is taking advantage of both of those.

I don't like it either, and I tend to tune away if it is a vacuum or a bed and I never come back for the rest of the show.

For the most part, they do it with any and nearly every program, the TSV is scheduled to be aired throughout the day. I don't care for that, either, but, it's their party.
