Lisa Mason gone from QVC

mrspotts — Sat, 04 Mar 2023 18:31:50 GMT

Lisa Mason posted on her Facebook page that she is leaving QVC with her jewelry line because "QVC doesn't have a place for me anymore". What the heck is QVC's logic?

It means her stuff was not selling. A company does not let a vendor go when their product sells.

I suspect Kathy Levine's Diamonique line has taken over the niche that Lisa may have once had. Lisa had some success when she first came back, then it seemed to fade.

@Janey2

I think their jewelry shows have really taken a hit...partly because tattoos seem to have taken the place of jewelry..

ANother societal change...

I've seen many posts here from long time QVC shoppers who say they see something they like but don't order cause even they have so much they don't wear it any longer...

One good thing about jewelry...you can easily take it OFF when you get tired of it.....!

Gonna be a pretty unattractive bunch in another 40 years....glad I won't have to look at it.

@mrspotts Think about it. They hired Kathy Levin and probably can't afford to pay both. Lisa hasn't been on for a long time so it don't surprise me. I did buy several of her pieces and I really like them.

@mrspotts , I believe she will be selling on QVC UK.

If you read the comments in the UK post she said she will be selling elsewhere because QVC does not have a place for her!

@Janey2 Just a thought, but I've noticed QVC sharply marks up items that you can buy for a lower price directly from the vendor.

An example of a product I wanted after watching a Land's End presentation: LE Tie Waist Kimono A569079 is $49.50 + $3.50 s/h on QVC but only $34.96 +$9 s/h directly from LE. That's a $9 price increase over the LE website. The QVC presentation had a lot of LE items I wanted for my vacation so I placed a big order for those items directly with LE, and I qualified for free shipping - not even an option at QVC. I bet I saved about $60 at LE.com vs. buying the same items on QVC which were supposed to be on sale.

The point is, maybe there was a disagreement with the vendor about QVC's pricing decisions. Maybe she didn't want her customers to have to pay the marked up prices and shipping set by QVC to host her items. My guess is QVC takes quite a lot off the top to give a platform to the vendors so the vendor may not benefit from the higher price point.

Of course none of us knows. This is just another perspective on the potential reason she and QVC parted ways.

@eaesquire

Yes....but Land's End doesn't have three idiotic screaming cabin-sock-pajama -clad fake wine-drinking hosts shrieking at you to buy the robe right?

SOMEONE has to pay for all that nonsense.

Thank you for a much needed laugh! And, you make a valid point.

Honestly once QVC got Kathy Levine back to represent Dominique there wasn't room for both her and Lisa Mason. This makes complete sense

She was literally JUST ON QVC UK

Re: Lisa Mason gone from QVC

PhillyGirl23 — Sun, 05 Mar 2023 00:27:04 GMT

It's probably not selling. I like Lisa but her items are ugly!

qbetzforreal — Sun, 05 Mar 2023 02:28:47 GMT

She's still with QVC. She's QVC UK. She posted this on 2/20/23:

"Thank you all so very much for your kind and beautiful words concerning Gino. I’m so thankful to you all!

Today, I want to thank Will Gowing from QVC UK for inviting me to be on his pod cast. He was amazing! Please take a listen if you have a few moments.

And, I’m so honored to launch my new jewelry collection on QVC UK next Tuesday. The team from the UK has been so supportive and extremely professional! What a joy!

I’ll be launching new styles here very soon! More to come on that as I make my transition to a new network.

Have a wonderful day and week ahead!"

I didn't think her stuff was anything special.

She has moved on to JTV. She only has about 25 pieces but I'm sure there's more to come. Judith Ripka is also on JTV. I watched her 2 hour show last week and her stuff was beautiful. I know I'm way late to this post but I just saw it!

Big deal. Hosts come and go all the time. Some products sell, others don't. I wish hosts well, as I do everyone, but someone leaving a shopping or other network doesn't bother me. Life goes on.

I am always confused. I thought she was gone long time ago.
