Is Angel Smedley a host now?

FranandZoe — Thu, 06 May 2021 14:03:18 GMT

And who is the man I've seen her on with?

On Q2, they have shows with vendors only, no show host. I haven't seen her shows but could the man be Patrick ( I think that's his name). I think he is the vendor who does QVC in Great Britain.

No, Angel is not a host. That's the new way of doing live shows on Q2. There is no host. A few of the experienced vendors do the presentations. The man is a long-time Quacker designer. I find Angel's presentations to be very tedious. I would have thought she'd be better at it.

The man's name is John, and he is one of the Quacker designers....

What? Wow....I haven't watched Q2, so I haven't seen that. I'm wondering how long Q2 is going to last. With the rising cost of their items, and customers not buying as much, I'm wondering if it's going to go into 2022.

Nearly all of the vendors have been told they will be having their solo shows on Q2, if they haven't already done so -- in nearly every genre. Mary Louise Ludwig, the vendor who sells in the food/kitchen genre, said her first show is coming up and she's been trying to work out her nervousness and practice a lot. I thought that was cute.

I have really been enjoying the Quacker Factory shows where Angel is at home.

Angel used to be a model, when Jean Bice died, she took over the buisness.

@HLP Angel didn't take over the business, she's merely the spokesperson. Jeanne's son (s) run the business and he is president of the company.

My perspective is QVC needs to rethink all the remotes or at least better prepare for them. I don't watch much of the main QVC channel anymore and so it probably goes without saying the other channels never see the light of day around here. That said, I was on the website and wanted to see the video offered for a handbag. Unfortunately, it appeared to be one of the 'homegrown' variety and the vendor representative didn't even have the bag to show in the all of the three colors being offered. Come on QVC. Who wants to buy a color sight-unseen? They flashed a very small picture on the screen of the bag in the three color options, but the presentation featured the bag in only one color. Needless to say, I didn't buy. This strikes me as a relatively dense way to try to do business. How hard would it have been to ensure the vendor had the bag in each of the three colors being offered?

I think it's weird too how they'll be doing a remote/at home presentation and showing pics/video from the website.

This is reawlly odd to me, I've seen a number of shows done this way on Q2 - but at least they're live shows and not reruns.

I honestly wouldn't care so long as they're actually presenting the product and all its options and not relying on a minuscule, unclear picture. The talking head and whether or not they're live isn't as important to me as being able to make a clear choice based on a clear visual of all the options.

Even some of the item's videos now are from the solo vendor shows. I was surprised to see item #A375501 is the Clarks vendor rep alone.

It's not just Q2 anymore; vendor shows are on the website as well.

I saw some of a Logo show with Mary DeAngelis yesterday - she was showing tops - instead of having the actual top in each color she just showed the images from Q's website. There was a man with her too - remotely - reprresenting Logo. Same deal though. Mary had one color top and he had another. Seems crazy.

And an actual and accurate description of the items presented!

It's amateur hour at QVC and it shows!

I always enjoy Angel along with a host, but alone not so much. She and her side kick are no Carolyn & Gary....
