ReVamping QVC Ideas

I think & feel having Lisa Robertson re-hired could make a positive change in QVC'S outreach for an increase in sales.
Also, Lisa Mason might add to the company's need for a boost.

Both ideas are NO STARTERS for a multitude of reasons. Are you related to Johnnysbro, by any chance?

Lisa Robertson explained at length on FB why she left QVC and why she would not be returning.

I believe she is happy doing what she doing.

Why do you think having the Lisas return is needed? @QVCalm

I actually think it's fairly presumptuous to assume that either one of these ladies would want to come back to QVC.

@QVCalm

Oh please! That ship sailed how many years ago?? And it's been brought up here ad nauseam.

Never. Gonna. Happen.

Like the saying goes, a rose by any other name is still ~~Johnnysbro~~...I mean a rose.

Neither one of them would be relatable to their target audience. Also neither lady would to be great at selling high priced computers and vacuum cleaners.

Okay, the main audience and clients of QVC are now aging, have more "stuff" than they probably need, and may not have as much disposable income if they are no longer working.

The overall model of selling things is outdated for the next generation.

What do young people spend their money on?

Food, but not the gourmet QVC kind.

Clothes, but they prefer cheap trendy outfits that QVC never sells.

Experiences, streaming services and online gambling are other interests. Yes, many of the girls do buy make-up, but they want to have famous reality stars as their make-up role models.

In this year without travel expenses, buying homes and cars became the priority.

I think Lisa Mason prefers a much simpler work/life balance, which is why she is just selling some low budget jewelry pieces every now and then.

I believe Lisa Robertson enjoys being an independent entrepreneur who no longer has to answer to any bosses, and she can choose to work hard just for herself.

Yes, they were great hosts in their time, but the solution for positive change is not simply rehiring a few good hosts, but figuring out how to attract the new generation of shoppers who do not really want to buy what QVC sells!

Kathy Levine would be a NO for me, too.

@FancyPhillyshopper Well said and I agree 100%. Unless all the TV shopping channels change the way they sell and what they sell, IMO their days are numbered.

The host is immaterial for me. I will only buy if I need or want an item.. The host has no effect on what I purchase.

LR might be coming back. Didn't I read somewhere that she might be closing Shop? Oh well!!

@QVCalm Lisa Mason briefly returned then left again. She has her own business now. I think Lisa Robinson is history. She is gone and I dont think her return would do much for QVC. When she was hosting, the products offered were so much more exciting than today's offerings. Even Lisa couldn't get the viewers exciited anymore. The merchandise

is rarely anything special and the products of the padt have returned in lesser quality versions.

I'd love to revamp Q's incoming and outgoing mail processing and orders/returns.

For part of my career, I ran an incoming and outgoing mail business unit for a very large international corporation. We had hundreds of thousands of pieces of mail going in and out daily and never never had the kinds of delays that Q has.

For another part of my career, I ran a business unit that processed tens of thousands of customer requests every day and never had the delays that Q has.

QVC's broadcasting days are numbered (in my view) so I don't think any former host would be of much benefit. Those hosts are surely not the future (or saviors) of QxH.

The newest hosts seem to be doing the work needed in the streaming arena, which is where any remaining hosts would reside (in my opinion.)

I really like QVC and this whole TV shopping, and hope it has at least 35 more years, in one form or another. I've found some absolutely wonderful things over the two decades of shopping here.

However, in my opinion, QVC still doesn't know what it wants to be when it grows up.

They keep revamping shows by pairing hosts that feed off of each other's worst hosting traits. Then load the shows with too-long presentations of the same products.

But at least they do seem committed to trying to compete in the streaming arena and social media market. Like it or not, that's where the money is. That's where more & more of the shoppers are. I'm doing much more shopping there myself.
