Is Lori Greiner Still On?

NickNack — Thu, 13 Aug 2020 19:31:10 GMT

I just realized that I haven't seen Lori Greiner on in a long time. I looked up her things, and they're all on sale (except for two items). If she's no longer on, does anyone know why?

I had wondered that too. Usually she appears on CIJ with those initial jewelry boxes and glitter lanterns.

I saw her on Shark Tank a few days ago and wondered the same thing - does she still make time for QVC?

I thought it was odd, no jewelry boxes, or make up storage. Maybe it’s more in the Gift shows later. Hmmmmmm.....most on sale. Doesn’t sound good.

I was surprised a few days ago when I saw Barbara Corcoran was on with a popcorn type food thing.

Perhaps the supply chain of her imported products has hit a roadblock.

I dislike how they tout her as a genius patent holder, implying she invents the things she sells. She buys patents from entrepreneurs or buys into the business and sells the product on QVC. That aside, I bought a few things, returned some, and found the rest to be just ok. Not interested in buying from her so haven't paid much attention, but it's been quite awhile since I saw her on the Q.

Lori has often said on Shark Tank that she will promote the products she invests in on QVC. She doesn't pretend that they are her own inventions!

I've heard her say this repeatedly on all these years I've watched Shark Tank, it's no secret.

One thing I have noticed, though - with few exceptions (e.g. Scrub Daddy) Laurie's items that came via a Shark Tank entrepreneur are displayed on QVC with the tag "by Laurie Grenier." That is a tad misleading, in that those products were inventedi by others, and Laurie is an investor nd promoter. I don't suppose that there's anything wrong with that, if the inventor goes along with it. But it would sit better with me if Laurie \QVC acknowledged that those items were someone else's idea.

@Qvcmeow Lori is very up front in her dealings. I see nothing wrong with the way her investments are promoted.

for those of you still interested in her overpriced junk you can find them in Wal-Mart and Ollie's surplus Army

I do not put stock in how QVC hosts introduce her.

Many used to introduce Leslie Blodgett as the inventor of Bare Esscentuals.

We get the distinction, not sure why the hosts don't.

I hope she’s not still on. She is half ANNOYING. And that same color blocking dress she wears trying to make her waist look smaller… I GOT YOU GIRL ! ! !

@MrSour yes and at CVS too. It's amazing how junky those items are in person!

Most likely Greiner is not her real last name. You can kinda tell.....

@StopTalking ??? What is that supposed to mean? She's married to Dan Greiner. Strange comment.

One can only hope that her time has finally expired.

Lori has never hidden the fact that Scrub Daddy and the phone soap were somoene elses idea. In fact usually she has them on with her or a video of them with her when she is promoting those products.

I have never once heard her say those were her inventions.

She may have not said that she is the creator, but she never corrected the hosts over the years who introduce her as the creative genius that holds multiple patents. I dislike that the QVC hosts for a long time insinuated to unknowledgeable viewers that by holding patents Lori is the creator. It was by watching shark tank that I understood her business model. It’s only been the last few years with shark tank’s popularity that the hosts were more up front about Lori not being the inventor but the entrepreneur who brought the product to QVC. To be fair she may have tweaked a product once she bought into the business, so to that extent she may have had some creative input, but a “genius inventor” as Shawn has inroduced her, no. She is definitely a smart businesswoman.
