Inventory online not shown-why?

Since it seems most viewers are tired of the same old same old it hasn’t escaped my attention and I’m sure others that there is a ton online. Why not feature more items for about 10 minutes each. It allows the Q to appeal to more customers and shift more products. I believe they used to do this a very long time ago.

@Allthingsgirly67 I am only guessing but I would imagine if you want your product on tv you have to pay for it to be shown on tv.

@Janey2. Exactly! QVC has different contract with vendors who have products listed and many are not for on-air presentations. It's just listed like it would be in a want ad. QVC doesn't own it nor do they even ship it in most cases.

IMO, It may be that the online only items are company's that pay QVC to have their items on Q's web site. Walmart and Target and a lot of big retailers do the same. Items are online only because the "website" gets paid by vendors who make their wares available on the site.

It may be that if a product sells a LOT, that Q will notice and consider bringing them on as a vendor for live presentations.

Ok that makes a lot more sense. Thanks for informing me.

the online inventory items mostly remain online and not on air but QVC misses out when viewers become bored with long presentations and of the same items over and over...click! Some of the more popular online items should be on air on a regular basis so those watching tv get variety and even might see something to buy. I often just browse the online items and am surprised at what there is...and i am a decades long QVC shopper. It is simply a missed opportunity for QVC. One problem with the website is lack of information. Rings selling at high prices have a photo only. There should be a short video clip of the ring on a hand. Food items with no nutritional information. Unclear how an item sells with so little information.
