QVC2

ScrapHappy — Wed, 10 Feb 2021 21:56:31 GMT

I've never watched QVC2 before. I just wanted to check out it today because I'm in need of crop pants and I would really like to get some Quacker Factory ones. It appears to me that "you're on your own." Angel S. was doing it all, reading item numbers, saying how many sold and how many left...etc. All the things a host would do. Has it always been this way on QVC2?

Susan Graver just came on to host "her" show. Actually not so bad, because she isn't competing with a regular QVC host for attention.

But what is going on? Where are the regular hosts this afternoon?

This is a new way of doing business for some of the vendor pros. They're so good they really don't need hosts.

I agree, just hadn't seen this before. I'm an in and out occasional QVC channel surfer. How long has it been going on?

I noticed that this afternoon too...checking out some clothes.

First Kim Gravel was on with her friend Amy (not the host) who works with her, then Angel from Quacker Factory came on with someone who works with her named John (he didn't say much).

Now Susan Graver is on and she certainly doesn't need any help....she's never at a loss for words!

Looks like the Q is trying to save some money with just the vendors and no hosts on Q2.

They just started having a few vendors do their own shows (without hosts) on Q2 a few weeks after they have brought back some live programming on that channel.

Just my own thoughts, but this may be in response to customers who have been complaining about all the reruns. They can present live shows but don't have to use a host or the QVC studio.

So far, as far as I know, only a few vendors have done this. I think it's not a bad concept. Worth a try to see how it works out.

In my opinion, Susan Graver is doing a great job of hosting & presenting her items. The show is moving quickly (which I like) and she is so pleasant and really knows her stuff.

I like this new format.

I am loving Susan Graver hosting her own show, she seems a lot calmer and she has shown a lot more items than when there is a host. I like when they don't spend 15 minutes on 1 item. They should continue with this format

Am I correct that Q2 and Q3 are going to end before long?

if so, maybe they are experimenting to see who and what drives sales.

This new method of operation is little more than a live infomercial.

Well, I missed this. I'll have to check it out . I only watched Valerie Parhill's rerun show with Mary Beth Rowe .

I have to start paying attention to QVC2. Love Kim and Amy Goins together. I just posted elsewhere I think the two of them can do a show by themselves!

I think it's a good idea too. Angel seemed a bit nervous to me though and the guy John was very nervous, he looked so red to me, unless it was just his computer. I thought they did a nice job but with Angel's experience with air time it surprised me. I think they will get more comfortable with it, maybe because it is new. I haven't seen Susan Graver or others yet.

Louis Dell'Olio mentioned that QVC ended their relationship with Linea since it would be difficult to fit in a lot of vendors on QVC's main channel, and going with mostly reruns on Q2. But if thats the case why does QVC keep repeating the same products over and over and over again on the main channel!! ???????🤔.... (and if I see this I DO change the channel) To me it seems just the opposite, QVC does NOT have enough of a variety of products....

Theragun has been shown A LOT and they keep re-showing it again and again and its now a TSV AGAIN! In the future is it just going to be the same ole, same ole products on-air on the main channel....seems that way....Josie Moran, Gourmet Food, Susan Graver, Isaac, Cuddl Duds, Barefoot Dreams, Kim Gravel, Tweaked By Nature, Dyson, and Mattresses..

Glad at least they are experimenting with different things on Q2...Dan Hughes mentioned he would have a live show on the Q2 network....and am now reading that just vendors are doing some shows.... ..With CEO Mike George leaving soon it will be interesting to see what direction is taken with QVC and Q2......STAY TUNED!!!

[Here's the scoop]-------

QVC has made the choice to end its’ relationship with the Linea brand. It has been explained that due to the closing of QVC3 and QVC2 all of the existing brands would have to be scheduled into the QVC1 programming. They will also be introducing “new” brands that will have to be scheduled into the QVC1 programming. I can only assume there isn’t room to accommodate Linea. From what I understand choices were also made due to a brands volume. These are QVC owned brands that naturally would get priority ……
