Does anyone think QVC might bring on Curtis Stone?

depglass — Mon, 14 Sep 2020 21:50:48 GMT

If he's number one at HSN, just think what he could do here. The reason I'd like to see this is I'd like a basic set of his at a TSV price. HSN no longer features sets as TS's.

If their smart they would. If they do I hope they put him with the right host. On HSN he pretty much runs the show.

I could swear I've seen a TS cookware Curtis Stone set at HSN within the past 6 months.

I hope they leave him right where he is. He's their top vendor, I believe, and I don't think there's any need to move him to QVC. He does plenty well, sales wise, where he is. Often has multiple sell-outs.

While I know nothing about the vendor, I can tell you decent cookware/bakeware is going up in price and it's in high demand.

I shop WS and the sale discounts are fewer as sales are very good. People cooking and baking at home more and stocking the freezer.

@mspatmac Thank you. I hope you got turquoise. I have his wok pan in that color. Beautiful color.

To be honest, since the same corp owns QVC & HSN , maybe they could just mix in some of the vendors from HSN on QVC . I bought 3 different GILI dresses on QVC but I needed an accent belt . I could not find one on QVC despite one of the QVC Hosts had paired a GILI dress with a Obi leather belt that I later found offered on HSN.

In this instance it would have been easier for me for both the dress and the belt to have been offered on QVC or HSN .

@depglass interesting thought. Maybe tv shopping is enough different from brick and mortar to make it work. I’ve never seen it happen at mall stores that are owned by the same holding company. If I go to Chico’s I can’t buy Black and White or Soma without walking across the mall. Same with Macy’s and Bloomingdales. There’s very little exact overlapping

HSN does still feature sets. HSN should not let him go; he's such a rainmaker there. QVC can find or create its own celebrity chefs. I do not want Curtis diluted by coming here, and I'd bet the prices wouldn't be as good if he did.

See? You're upsetting Chris now.

I would imagine a large set would be offered prior to the holidays. And he does have a Today Special at the end of October.

@depglass I hope they leave him where he is. He has done well at HSN, has good products, good sale prices. The " Q" has been known to destroy several lines. Makes you wonder about about their judgment and credibility. I like Curtis Stone.

I doubt the Q will give him the air time,like he has on HSN.

I only own Curtis Stone and Wolfgang Puck pans and I love them all.

Agreed, hope he just stays on HSN, I'm still waiting for the two channels to separate again!!! LOL

Just say NO to Curtis Stone coming to qvc. He does a fantastic job on HSN and is not lacking for sales. No need to move him here. He and the hosts get along just fine. Lots of fun, good food and information on his segments. I have purchased pans, sous vide, electric fry pan and more. Stay where you are Curtis.

I hope they don't move him to QVC. We would NEVER see free shipping if they did.

And yes, they still sell sets of his on HSN.

Icegoddess — Tue, 15 Sep 2020 15:31:35 GMT

I'd prefer him to just stay at HSN. I kinda get tired of the overlap when both channels share a vendor especially with the TSV's overlapping. Plus, at HSN, I can often use a 20% off coupon. QVC never does that. I actully buy more from HSN than I do QVC.

I think the shopping channels are moving away from sets in general. That includes kits in beauty. Personally, I don't think I will ever buy another cookware set. I'll just replace what I have worn out which is normally the large saute pan since I tend to use high heat with it. I'm still using all my other pieces from my Kirkland's hard anodized set I bought probably 15 years ago. My one and only stainless steel Saladmaster pan is probably more like 25 years old since I bought it before my marriage. Even the bottom which I can't keep clean on any cookware, looks almost brand new. And the last thing I need is another stock pot. I don't make stock or even soups. I just use mine for spaghetti.

He is the #1 brand on HSN out of all lines that are offered. On QVC, he's just be another vendor. I like him on HSN - I like the interaction with the hosts - kind of freewheeling which makes HSN more fun to watch.

Curtis and Wolfgang was with QVC before they went to HSN. Most of the venders that you see on HSN were vendors on the Q in the ninties and early 2000. I had started purchasing kitchen items from them.
