Have You Noticed?

Kachina624 — Fri, 19 Apr 2024 16:26:24 GMT

TSV presentations which we've complained about for years, have become even more frequent and longer than ever before. They've become one-day infomercials where they take over the network. As this happens I find myself watching less and less. My orders have decreased markedly....I guess every cloud has a silver lining.

QVC has become one huge bore.

all day beauty miracle working things/stuff and vacuums/floor care can put me to sleep

i have Q3 on right now.......a rerun of gourmet holiday

i usually have Q on one of my browser tabs and listen while i'm working on my reselling tabs. i flip over to it if i hear something of interest.

i did enjoy the all day jewelry yesterday, even though i have tons and need nothing.

@Kachina624 I have come to the conclusion that they don't care what we say. I hardly watch at all anymore.

@BalletBabe. They may not care what we say, but I guarantee they care what we spend.

@TheMemphisVette. I find Kim Gravel entertaining but I got so sick of her last Saturday, I could have lept through the TV screen and strangled her. I think she was equally sick (and tired) of being on air.

The face gadget presentations are somewhat less than riveting, aren't they?

They ARE going to care when our spending stops........

It became a "bore" for me years ago. Not to mention the ridiculous prices. Bought 2 items so far this year, one to use my 20% off coupon. So many other better places to shop. AND I rarely watch more than a couple of minutes. For me, may as well be purely an online vendor.

I hardly watch anymore. I check it once in awhile out of boredom. The only time I stay longer than 5 minutes is when I happen to catch Kathy Lavine as a guest. That I watch but don't buy anything.

If I happen to see something I like I look for it elsewhere that has it for less. My favorite is E-bay for clothing at 1/4 of the QVC price.

@Kachina624

Unimaginative repetitious offerings.......hawked by loud, obnoxious, boorish "hosts"..for hours on end focusing on one examples of the same ole same old dreck....

Speils that we long timers know by heart just by looking at the program guide....("Red will sell out first!!!!....This....Is....Extraordinary!!!....You'll look like money!!!) yeah right.

The closeups of old lady jowls and dried out lips and baggy eyes.....blechhh!!!

Can't see any real difference, and if you have to study some old woman's face for more than three seconds to see if they plumped something up or lifted it or otherwise momentarily "improved" their appearance...

Forget it.I can look in my mirror for free to see that.

I can't get to the remote fast enough when the close ups of jowls appear on air...

Same for too tight clothes on models, pants that sweep the floor, cheap synthetic materials with old lady prints...cheap methods of construction ( no buttons)...droop fests and the endless BOW RING personal stories that we can recite by heart better than our own family's lineage and adventures.

It's just gotten ridiculous.!!!

This magical thing today to roll over your face.....will soon go the way of that mouth exerciser thing...remember that?!?!?!?

Can't wait to see the next quarterly report due May 8th. Maybe I'm wrong, but Q's offerings really ...well, you know.

@Kachina624

Haven't watched a full presentation of a TSV for a long time. Historically I'd set the DVR at 10pm mtn for subjects I like but have found many times I can barely get through a few minutes.

It's a shame isn't it?

My opinion of material things has been changing. I recently read something that struck me. In the article it said after your home, is your most valuable asset i.e. car sitting outside and the garage is full of not very valuable things?

Had me thinking in addition to the garage scenario, do I really need all these LocknLocks / clothes / decor items and would I rather have valuable real estate back, at the very least a more streamlined environment.

Found with our recent 30 hour power outage that it's much better to have clear spaces. The QVC lanterns / Luminaras etc did come in handy though lol.

I used to see what the TS was daily years ago. Now I never know what it is unless I see a post about it.

I will keep saving our money instead of spending it on stuff we don't need. Today most things are not worth the price tag.

Re: Have You Noticed?

Othereeeen — Fri, 19 Apr 2024 19:25:35 GMT

QVC seems to be selling more gimmicks than ever....with ever higher pricetags.

Or maybe it's cause I'm older and not so gullible any longer....!

Actually, I haven't noticed because I never have the Q on! I've become addicted to the Food Channel. I'm dedicating myself to becoming a better cook. Most of my purchases these days are from InstaCart. LOL

Kachina , you have near 70,000 post . You probably have made many purchases . Yes things on QVC have become redundant . I no longer purchase as much as I once did . My life has changed and I have learnt to make things better. . Live has changed and so must we . I do watch QVC for entertainment , not 24 - 7 . There is so much to see and do in our world .

Kachina I do enjoy your opinions and advice .

Those hour long presentations on one single item are a major bore. I feel for the host that has to talk about the same product for a full hour, excruciatingly painful.
At least I have an outlet, I just change the channel.

Re: Have You Noticed?

SaveTheTurtles — Fri, 19 Apr 2024 20:16:21 GMT

I couldn't agree more. B-O-R-I-N-G. I used to watch all the time but now it's very rare and if I do it's not for long.

Re: Have You Noticed?

@Othereeeen You are too funny!! Thanks for the laughs.

I think one of the problems is that many of us have been watching for decades and have noticed the decline in quality, value and convenience. It remains to be seen if they can attract new viewers.
