Same TSV again ?

Grnthumb — Sun, 12 Aug 2018 20:32:25 GMT

Truthfully I'm pretty sick of QVC and their TSV, it's always the same stuff, maybe a different version. I can remember looking forward to what the TSV was going to be for the next day, always something different and unusual, now I can predict what it will be.. IT Cosmetic, Shark, Ristelli meats, Clarks, Calista tools, etc, etc. I could go on,but.you get my drift. It really is too bad what has become of QVC. Yes, yes I know, some of you will say..." well why don't you quit watching it " and I'm going to take that advice.

Perhaps the TSV idea has run its course and should be pulled out just for special days that have a theme.

I love QVC, whether watching my big screen TV or on my iPad. On days when the TSV (or QVC2 Big Deal or Beauty IQ Steal) doesn’t interest me, I don’t watch, unless one of my preferred vendors is on at some point during that day. Sure, I have my gripes, like their shipping costs to HI, but that is why I consider the shipping cost before clicking the Submit button on the purchase screen. Otherwise, I shop the vendor websites.

I think that's because, which is basically what you're saying, is that QVC lacks the variety of vendors as years gone by. Thus. it's same old, same old basically.

Wish they'd bring back the 'excitement' and values as in the past. Perhaps they're working on it - wishful thinking. With the variety of items sold online nowadays, I'm sure they could bring in many new vendors. Or, perhaps, they should bring in new buyers.

Anyways, I agree with what you're saying. Don't watch very much anymore.

QVC is in a rut. Same-ole-same-ole.Even their regular programs they never change the music, stage, introduction. Think PMStyle, The Find, Issac's Monday show.Shawn's lead-ins are same-ole, same-ole. "Guess what today is?" It's find some orginality!!

I enjoy QVC's TSV's , they are in the business to make sales , if it is TSV that does not interest me , i know there is one that will, down the road.

I think the only TSV I ever bought was a Dennis Basso jacket. I like to read the reviews before I purchase and the TSV is never a bargain so I prefer to wait before ordering.

Sunday's QVC programming just doesn't interest me anymore...

So often, they seem to use the TSV to dump defective or inferior merchandise. I look upon them with a great deal of suspicion and mistrust.

I used to watch qvc every day. I no longer watch but rather check the TSV and other things online. I suppose the novelty is gone. However, in the early days, QVC was great. They really aimed for quality and creativity in their offerings. Those days are gone.

I have to keep remembering QVC is in over 100 million homes -- that's a lot of homes! To more people than I could probably imagine, these are new products to them. For people like us who have been watching for years and years, of course we have seen it all.

But I bet somewhere across the nation someone saw today's TSV and said wow! I didn't know I could purchase a mattress from the tv.

@hellodali

If that was the case then their financial results would be much better than the report that was recently released. And one of the categories mentioned in the report was that sales in the home category were down.....(the report is posted in Q Talk)..............

I am totally not following what you are talking about in response to my comment about the same type of TSV being shown.

I fully understand why they do not just show a mattress only once a year. It is to appeal to possible newcomers to their channel.

We who watch QVC more often may tire of what we think was just shown; however, to the people who may have never heard of QVC or seen QVC, they may be going by the channel and see something that intrigues them. To us it may be "oh no, not again", but to them it might be the first time.

I have no interest in dissecting their financial reports nor will it help them if I do; however, I was just stating my opinion, as are you. Mine is not based on anything anyone wrote on paper. My opinion is based on how I feel as a consumer and how I understand why items are repeated.

We just bought an extremely well made Serta (probably not the same style but looks similar with deep sides and a pillow top with individually wrapped springs) for over $200 LESS than QVC. And I have to laugh, the store we got it from was Big Lots and we're very happy with it.....

I rarely watch because of the repetition of products being presented. Now I check out what's going on via the internet. There are so many other retailers who sell online and many who don't charge for s&h. Yes, it's nice to see the items on models and hear about what's being presented by a company rep, but when you know what they'll say before they say it......time to go elsewhere.

@Kachina624 You are on point today...I stopped buying some TSV's ( will purchase from vendors that have a solid reputation for offering quality products) after realizing low introductory price does not always mean you are getting a great product...I think sometimes the shopping channels use the customer to test their items...they work out the kinks and offer again. I do a great deal of research on products sold at the Q to ensure they are not discontinued/retiring. For most companies Profit is the Bottom Line!

I remember the TSV's were always a BRAND NEW item exclusive to QVC at the lowest price. It was something unique and something to look forward to each day. Now its always the same thing and pretty predictable.

Sunday TSV: kitchen/cleaning device/bed

Monday TSV: Clothing

Tuesday TSV: Beauty

Wednesday TSV: Kitchen/food

Thursday TSV: Shoes

Friday TSV: Fashion/Beauty

Saturday TSV: Computer/Ring/High tech

Same old stuff, as seen on tv. Would nice to see the glory days of Peterboro Baskets or polish stoneware, tiffany lamps quality made and made to last. AND a truly great value.

I have turned in my QVC for Zulily. That simple. Great customer service, wide variety of products, great prices and THE SHOPPING CART for shipping. And I don't have to watch the hosts"try to be just like me and my friend."
