Bring Back Lisa Mason!

lovesallanimals — Tue, 03 Mar 2020 20:17:11 GMT

Wow, I just watched her Diamonique show. I have been a customer since day one and I forgot what it is like to see a host who is mature, professional, soft speaking, classy, etc., etc. I always loved watching Lisa years ago. Now we have to put up with screaming, narcisstic, loud millenials. Lisa is from the old school, i.e., Mary Beth, Leah, Jayne (not Tracey!), and a few others. So tired of all the immature, silly, childish nonsense that goes on now. And I am really, really tired of that stupid happy dance and another host who just keeps laughing at nothing at all. Please bring back Lisa, she is such a class act and a pleasure to watch.

They don't want hosts who are "who is mature, professional, soft speaking, classy, etc.". They want hosts who can SELL and apparently they have statistics and figures that show that obnoxiousness excites people and they BUY.

They slowly but surely canned the hosts who meet your criteria in favor of the loud, pushy ones. Those hosts must be under tremendous pressure; do you think Lisa would want to put up with that at this stage of her life? Unless she's desperate and starving, I'd say "no".

Could not agree more, 4leggedfriends! I no longer watch QVC regularly at all. The yelling, non-stop talking, giggling, loud laughing by hosts and vendors turns me off. QVC execs seem to find it all A-OK or it would stop. No thanks. On top of which, there are better prices, S&H out there!

I like Leah Williams, but, "I will tell you," she IS one who will laugh at nothing at all.

I wholeheartedly agree! I so enjoy the hosts like Lisa who let people talk without babbling over them. Who present items in a thorough and classy way.

I just listened to the QVC Facebook live show with Lisa and was very touched by her memories of Gino, her husband.

I hope Lisa will be on QVC again; she can teach the new hosts so much. She is missed.

I will be satisfied if LM comes back to the Q with her designer line of Diamonique. I bought her flower dangle earrings today. There is no sense in complaining about these hosts, just mute them or turn the channel.Most of all, don't buy from them when they are on air and wait to buy online so they don't get credit for the sale.

@Kachina624

I dont know .....hard to say.....with declining sales are these screaming, yelling, silly, hosts....actually hurting or helping QVC??????....Could that be one of the reasons revenue/sales have been down in all categories except electronics....they could be selling, but their sales might still be less than in past years....

Maybe Lisa has moved on from the host job.....but she was smart to keep the relationship with QVC open and it enabled her to return as a vendor....

@Spurt I don't know if loud hosts generate sales or not but the point is, the Mike George team thinks they do. I don't like them either but intellectually, I can understand Qvc's interest in appealing to the younger generation. They must do that if they are to have a future. I wonder if the current strategy's working?

I forgot how hypnotizing and excellent Lisa Mason is as a television host.

She also looked very beautiful.

I know Lisa chose to leave--she would certainly be an asset anywhere!

Her items were beautiful and sold out quite quickly (thank goodness) -- as I almost felt compelled by her wonderful sales technique to make a purchase--and I do not even wear or buy Diamonique!

Lisa is a class act. I was just watching her onFB with Marybeth. She had me in tears. I lost my husband to cancer and she touched on so many things I felt.

I also liked Lisa M. I am so tired of the newer hosts and the shows with all the "inside jokes" and wasting time asking "what flavor of ice cream do you like?", etc. No more clothing purchases for me since the sizes are not reliable and returns too costly. I do buy cosmetics if they are a good value compared to other stores. I do order some kitchen items even though the kitchen shows are getting very boring and stale.

Never cared for her

as fake as a $3 bill

why she'd want to try the q a 3rd time is a question unless she needs the money

I love Lisa Mason. I think she was the best host ever. She is so sincere, funny, professional, and pretty. Sad the new hosts weren't trained by her. I did appreciate her saying " if it isn't in your budget, maybe they would have something that is". Total class!

Re: Bring Back Lisa Mason!

Krimpette — Tue, 03 Mar 2020 21:44:00 GMT

My recollection is that she did try a come-back of sorts a couple of years ago. It just didn't seem to work, sadly. And now, if she were to be foolish enough to agree to come back as a host, I can't imagine her adapting to their new "style" of selling. The powers-that-be don't seem to like "low-key" type of hosting...hence, the demise of lovely Katie McGee.

It was such a breath of fresh air to see her and Rick Domeier at 2 AM, just classy explaining the ring and what it meant to her. Since I have retired it seems like the daytime hosts are more enjoyable than the evening foolishness that goes on most nights.

I enjoyed Lisa when she was on QVC years ago. I am glad she is back!

I missed seeing her show today, but I will tune in next time!

@jpie : I missed her appearances as well. I entered "Lisa Mason jewelry" in the search bar, and was able to watch the video presentations of her four items. They seem to be selling well-- some choices are already on waitlist.

I thought her departure was due to her husband's lengthy illness and death. Maybe she'd like to do something she enjoys and is good at and this is the right time for her.

I much prefer the calm days of her, Judy, Dan and Paul. I don't watch anymore. When Jane T is starting to look like the demure one, you know the others have to be off the charts obnoxious.
