Does anyone else hate 24 hour events ?

MW in Iowa — Wed, 16 Aug 2023 00:36:48 GMT

I don't buy jewlelry, so i don't even turn QVC on , i think they lose sales concentrating on one category for 24 hours. I like beauty , but i know many don't want to watch that for Any opinions. I understand seasonal fashion days. any opinions ? i might be in the minority.

YES. 24 hour events are a SNOOZEFEST.

@MW in Iowa. I agree, today's jewelry event has been deadly boring. Same passe, old fashioned jewelry shown over and over. I got all I wanted of what they're selling about 20 years ago. They need new buyers.

It's a snoozefest.

This is personal preference , but don't think i could spend thousands on any piece of jewlery , i can afford it ,but i would feel icky. But of course people wouldn't spend money on some of the things i buy. At least the jewlerly will last a lifetime.

I actually don't mind them—I kind of like knowing I won't be interested at all in what is being presented for a full day and thus avoiding QVC altogether or potentially being excited about new items or great deals in categories I like and therefore tuning in a few times throughout the whole day to catch some appealing programming.

The only thing I don't like in any of these scenarios is the ridiculously loooonnnnnggg time spent on the TSV; no item merits a presentation longer than 20 minutes, even if it has multiple features to highlight, and we don't need to see the same presentations dozens of times per day.

I would never spend several hundred or even thousands on a piece of jewelry I could not see in person to feel the quality. I have more than enough jewelry than....and bought it when the cost gold was lower and the jewelry quality was higher.

I am doubtful Q's customer base is interested in 24 hrs of expensive jewelry.

Hate them too....especially jewlery and food, cleaning, kitchen with David (not because I dislike David) it just gets old to me.

Love them if it's fashion, makeup/skincare or home decorating, Fall/Seasonal variety events, etc

So it depends....

I have to admit I like the all day fashion events but that is about it. Christmas in July - don't even get me started. Kitchen and food days - nah. Beauty- so-so. And the jewelry days could be good if they only got some new interesting vendors in, but today was a wash. That is one good thing about them having a second channel; at least we have an alternative schedule.

@MW in Iowa Doesn't matter to me whether I don't want to watch for 24 hours or for 2 hours here and there.

I don't like shopping when I am not thinking about buying something - everything I don't want or need looks boring to me then.

In my opinion they lose viewers. That is what kept us all glued to the TV when they started. Lots of variety all day long.

Because I like jewelry I tune in briefly throughout the day. I sold most

of my fine jewelry, kept the pieces I wear the most.

No intetest in more fine jewelry. Treated myself to a pair of

2 CT tw Moissanite stud earrings in rose gold. Gorgeous and a great

price!

Yeah, 24 hrs dedicated to one product is overkill .

Each host has to take her turn.

Present at midnight and once or twice till next midnight.

Well, I suppose I am in the minority, because watching all the jewelry shows takes me back to the good old days of QVC when jewelry was one of the top sale items, and the designs and the prices were fantastic.

BTW, nothing is 24 hours anymore, as they do repeat shows during the early morning hours. Thank goodness, because I used to stay up all night every once in a while!

items are selling out, so they must be doing okay with sales today. I did like seeing some of the very expensive items, like the gold cuff, etc.

Sorry ladies, anymore a few thousand or less is almost like costume jewelry in the fine jewelry world these days. Prices are sky-high on QVC, but much worse everywhere else. I ordered one item (thin gold Figaro chain ) and waitlisted another (yes, Amy's new yellow diamond ring, just for the fun of it, to see if I love it as much as she does). The ultrafine silver circle necklace was a great price for gift-giving.

But in these times of the Internet, there is never a reason to have one's shopping limited by what is on the television.

However, I have been watching Michele Lau for decades as she moved from channel to channel, so it is nice to see her with a lot of air time today. I guess she has found her niche and is happy.

When the nonstop food and technology comes back I will be off!

I don't mind the all-day focus on one area. When I first encountered QVC 'way back in their early days, one of their big, popular promotions -- and some of the best events I saw (and purchased from) -- were the fashion days and jewelry days. They were popular events with so many sell-outs that I remember having to quickly decide if I wanted an item. As others have said, it also lets us know if we might want to skip a day if the focus doesn't interest us. 😊

@MW in Iowa Hahaha! I only like it when it's Holiday or Kitchen, etc. So, that's why I love watching Q2 when I don't like what's on QVC. There was a fair mix of items on Q2 today.

@MW in Iowa To answer your question, no, 24-hour events don't bother me a bit. It actually helps me to know if I want to tune in or not. I prefer all day events, I know that whenever I tune in that day it will be the type of items for the event. If I'm not interested on that day, I just don't watch. There are many days I don't even turn the TV to QVC, I have plenty else to do.

I do have to note that I use to love all day jewelry events, I would tune in first thing in the morning and check often, I didn't want to miss anything. I purchased many pieces. These days, I like to see what's offered but I generally already have the same thing, just a slightly different version.

I'm basicly a fashion shopper so I do like the 24 hr fashion shows but I am definetly not a 24 hr jewelry show watcher so I saved money today ! For those who spent thousands on diamonds and pearls enjoy you purchase.

sunshine45 — Wed, 16 Aug 2023 03:04:01 GMT

i dont mind them at all!

if it is something i am interested in then i will check into QVC at various times to see if anything interests me.

if it is something i am NOT interested in then i know i will be QVC free for 24 hours.
