Unofficial Survey - QVC Please Take Notes

PalmBeach — Sat, 12 Oct 2019 18:24:09 GMT

Why have you have limited your viewing and/or purchasing from QVC?

These are my reasons:

1. 2-4 hour long shows from the same brands over and over - stop it!

2. Not enough new brands - they’re out there go find them!

3. Too many celebrities pushing their products - no comment!

4. Your daily show lineup doesn’t provide enough variety - boring!

No, none of this bothers me, and I'm still ordering about as I always have. I just don't watch the shows and haven't in maybe 5 or 6 years. But I still order.

I would do some ordering in the wee hours but as long as the repeats continue I just turn the channel. I have trouble sleeping so I always enjoyed QVC during those hours.

Because of their programming during those hours I just make it a point not to have it on during those hours and also not ordering during those hours.

Will it do any good, I highly doubt it but it makes me feel better.

None of the above. I purchase something when I think I'm getting a good deal. My one & only complaint is that HI & AK are always excluded from free shipping events. I don't understand why, for one day, they don't include us. Oh well, I guess it keeps me from going hog wild with the Speed Buy button.

QVC is watched in 85 million homes, and 190,000 shoppers click the purchase button every single day. Not every week or every year - every single day. I don’t know how many contributors visit the forums every single day, but judging by the handful of same names we all see on a regular basis, I hardly think a poll taken here could reflect the opinion of the aforementioned number of people who actually shop the network.

I can't say that I've limited my viewing.....never did watch a whole lot.

Your list has been discussed here quite a few times.

Other reasons for me that were already mentioned by me here in the past, are overall poor quality control, defective, damaged products, inconsistent sizing, quality of workmanship, and fabrics. Lack of program creativity and constantly seeing the same vendors, products, and similar styles.

I've been most successful with gardening products. The worst, clothing and decor.

My most recent return was a large beautifully made Martha Stewart pumpkin a week ago with water inside that was leaking all over the box. No...water was not supposed to be inside. I reordered the pumpkin, received it in perfect condition. It's gorgeous.

I think buyers need to watch and purchase more than occasionally to experience these problems.

I have bought more in the past six months than in many years before. I check what is new daily, and order from that group. I do put items in the "wish list" and check to see the price fluctuations - if an item is reduced substantially in price, I buy it. But I rarely watch any program now, except for David's shows. Even then - I have the show on, but listen only.

The only reason I'm buying less QVC than I did at one time is that I'm buying less everywhere. I'm just not in love with shopping the way I used to be - probably because there's just way too much already in the house!

I discovered other channels. So that limits what I purchase on Q, most of the time other channels have reasonable prices, faster shipping.

Tried to post regarding the “trial” of pre recorded shows airing from the hours of 2 am to 7 am. I am very upset that the QVC main the channel cornering the home shopping market as succumbed to the fate of the other lesser shopping stations. Perhaps you need to widen your product lines to be more inclusive rather than cut your program hours. I enjoy watching as I work and live on the sleep hours. I have been a loyal QVC shopper for some 20 years and would watch more if you included menswear as well as clothing for a younger and hipper age trend as well as no shopping network offers business wear and or formal wear for men or women. If you offered more variety I think you would have a better chance of keeping up with your competition of online retailers. Currently I am very disappointed with this 4 week trial of yours and encourage other shoppers to post their thoughts!

I only watch "fashion" shows. No fashion show ... I'm not watching.

I watch much less than I used to because I don't care for many of the hosts. My opinion only but I prefer well spoken professional hosts, it's a shopping channel not a varity or comedy show. (where is Katie McGee)

Thanks to the new taping and re-airing of shows and the 3 QVC channels, I can now watch 24 hours of In The Kitchen With David and/or Shoe Shopping With Jane. This is why I'm no longer watching at all and not shopping either!!!

sunshine45 — Sun, 13 Oct 2019 03:54:25 GMT

my viewing has not been limited and my purchasing has not stopped.

I'm still buying ....... not as much as I used to mainly because it seems to be the "same ole same ole" stuff. I'm also not watching the shows as much. Agree ...... need to get some new products and not have the same products/companies over and over. My main reason for not watching is I'm tired of also seeing the same "host" over and over agsin. Seems every time I think about watching either David or Jane is on. Boring! I can't imagine when I was young wanting to buy a shoe my Mother (grandmothrr) would be recommending. And, as I've mentioned before I like David but when a host is on too much you soon learn their mannerisms and know just about what they are going to say or do. Plus ..... and I know some will disagree with me ..... I'm tired of hearing him say "happy dance". Sadly, I do what one of the other posters said ..... I mute the TV if I'm watching. I've been with QVC from the beginning so I'm not young .... but even at my age I think some younger more vibrant host (as well as some new products) would draw more interest). ******Another thing I agree with .... do something about the quality of the products they sell. I have cut myself 3 times on broken purchases and returned alot of defective products lately. *****

Bottom line, viewership increases sales. I know a lot of people say they don't watch, just shop online, but the more people see the more they are going to buy.

But we are seeing so little on QVC anymore, no matter how many hours we watch. The same few products and brands repeated over and over. Millions of items in stock, but they show only the same few.

And all the repeat programming on QVC 2 was boring, but now on QVC main channel overnight? Really? what are they thinking. There are so many people who are up all night for many reasons, and the night owls on the west coast are really up a creek if looking for live programming.

QVC, get more new products, get more of what is already in stock but never seen on air, stop the repeats.
