Boring Day on QVC .

Kachina624 — Sat, 08 Jul 2023 02:47:10 GMT

A day of mostly suds making and silly hair fluffing. Hardly riveting or the kind of programming that would cause people to eagerly sit by their TVs. Why can't they just have one of these products interspersed with some fashion or jewelry?

Total snore.

For me, the new QVC format has very little to offer. The programming is very repetitive, and the product lines have little to offer. Clothes, hair, makeup, shoes, and everything else is outrageously high in price. Its as though QVC has morphed into a beauty and fashion channel. And how many gourmet food shows do we need? I myself would not pay the asking prices for the food products. I'm not really interested in what QVC has to offer these days, nor am I willing to donate the majority of my paycheck to QVC. Too many people shop beyond their means, taken in by the concept of easy pay, and can't even tell you what their card balance is or how much interest they pay. I'm a firm believer in "Shop Your Closest" or "Shop Your Attic" when you just feel like buying something new that you don't really need. You will discover things you don't even remember you bought or still have.

I'm not saying that you'll never find a real bargain, but I go back to the days when QVC was a really fun and entertaining place to shop.

Personally I’m glad it was a boring Q day cause today was day 19 of not buying anything

I spent some time watching HSN this morning to check out Christmas in July Programming. My big splurge was the Mr. Christmas Mercury Glass Set/3 Peppermint 🍥 Lights. That's it, that's all, that's the extent of my Christmas Decor spending for 2023.

I agree. Many years ago, Q was always on for background noise. Now I can hardly tolerate it.... host antics, repeating products over and over and over, and non-competitive prices, are my primary reasons.

And HSN, my preferred channel, has CIJ all weekend. Talk about boring!!!

Programming has a lot to be desired any more. Glad I can change the channel when I want and been doing that more and more. Cutting back on my spending as well.

I did buy the mercury glass votives for fall decorating. That will be it for new holiday decorating this go round. I like a new piece now and then to keep things looking fresh. But been moving more out than bringing it in.

I tuned into see what was being sold...it was the TSV and was wondering what the vendor was wearing (Dennis?). It was an interesting choice of clothing.

@Kachina624

I think they over saturate us at the convenience of the product Host who's there live for the day . Seems to me they could tape the shows with the vendor and sprinkle show them on different days, however that would interfere with their so called antiquated TSV concept .

@Mom2Dogs

yea, that outfit may have been something from Nepal or jungle book. I do buy his Frangipani products but most of the time he talks as though he's some kind of Indiana Jones character combing through the jungle

@Kachina624 I see no way every item any retailer tries to sell to us would ever appeal to everyone. I vowed to stop buying new jewelry years ago, even before LR left. She sold lots to me over the years. In the decade since that vow, I have spent close to nothing on anyone's jewelry. Same with fall and winter clothes, decor for any holiday, or prepared foods.

Because I know I don't want more in those categories, that's what doesn't interest me.

There's nothing inherently boring about those things, but once again the cliche is true -- different things for different people.

HSN was mostly Xmas junk---just can't get into Xmas this time of year--and it goes on all freaking month!!!! Won't be watching much-

Re: Boring Day on QVC .

They CallMe MRWILKES — Sat, 08 Jul 2023 14:31:25 GMT

HSN does not have the month long Christmas in July like QVC.

Only one weekend the entire month.

Otherwise, lots of HSN Birthday specials and sales.
