TOO LONG OF A SPECIAL VALUE PRESENTATION

Spurt — Sat, 29 Nov 2025 14:44:34 GMT

In all my years watching QVC I've never seen a presentation as long as their Saturday's Today Special Value--HALO BOLT JUMP STARTER AIR COMPRESSOR They must have an ENORMOUS stock that they want to get rid of to go on and on and on with a longer than usual TSV presentation.....It started at 6:00 AM I got bored and turned the channel, checked back in with QVC and on Leah's Show it continued with another way too lengthy presentation.......In this day and age of quick technology folks want information fast and furious and dont want to see slow and repetitive presentations like this...And it looks like they are even rerunning Justin's earlier presentation from 6 AM .Whst happened to Leah?????. YOU'RE BORING YOUR VIEWERS QVC...SHEESH!!! ..this time when the presentation appeared I didnt check back in with QVC, I found something else to watch..If you want to entice viewers to buy your products as Holiday gifts you need more variety in your programming/presentations instead of an infomercial!!!

In my opinion . All their presentations are too long if the Hosts have to fill the time with nonsense .

Just do a full cmplete demonstration and show us viewers how to use, assemble , and clean items such as vacum cleaners, new Flaus flosser, Halo ect .

I love when HSN has their 5 in 5 segments. Five products shown in five minutes.

You get enough info to make a decision if you are interested or not. If you need to know more, you can go online and check further. No time for needless chitchat or personal stories about family......or screaming or laughing. Win, win.

I wish both stations did this at least once an hour.

I think an entire hour is too much for any TSV but the vacuum ones are the worst for me. Maybe it's the phone calls that make the Halo ones easier for me to tolerate although I know most people hate the phone calls. And honestly the only way I'd see the entire hour of anything is if I'm doing something else and it's just background noise.

QVC is no longer expecting viewers to watch entire TSV presentations. Most of these kinds of products are TSVs on weekends or holidays when people may be watching sports or other programs and channel surfing during commercials. That's why they're long. Marketing 101.

There was a Duraflame hour yesterday with ONE Duraflame heater the entire show. Not a TSV either. It may have been a Big Deal but there are other Duraflames in inventory.

Don't need to listen to an hour about how to vacuum the floor and mouldings..Or see how far they can stretch a pair of pants!

During the summer..I think..I watched 10 minutes of Halo Bolt...decided my kids needed to have them...ordered them and didn't watch again..Hopefully my kids will never need them.

That's the truth! And it's sooooo boring! I'm not watching much lately. It's mostly hard goods....things I don't want.

As much as HALO is presented, I’m surprised if everyone don’t own one. I mean- how many HALO products does one person need.

Yes,each time she is on ,pushing those items she sell ,it goes on,and on.

Yes, all presentations are too long which leads to a bunch of personal stories and silliness. How much can you say about one product? It's ridiculous.

It's very annoying when there's a product that comes in several colors. They go on and on about the different colors before they show its features or how it works. They need to talk about the colors briefly and then move on.

@tends2dogs Agree 100%. IMO ALL presentations should only be a couple of minutes long. If you need more info, go online. Should be showing at least 10 to 15 items an hour.

@Sweet Kitties

It's like the color of an item is the MOST IMPORTANT point of any item whether its cookware, a blouse, a pair of jeans, or a vacuum, or a Halo Charger---they repeat the colors over and over but ignore and skip more important product details----is it because that's the most reliable thing to go to when a host runs out of things to say....OR....does it have to do with sales psychology when they think they convinced the viewer to make the purchase and now the only thing left to decide is THE COLOR????? We will never know 🤔

Whats a bit amusing is that the host goes over the colors so much the viewer at home knows the colors better than the hosts sometimes 😂

Whats interesting when you go online to find out more about the item a lot of times there are questions posted but never answered that SHOULD HAVE been covered in the presentation instead of going over THE COLORS again and again!!! To me that shows QVC where presentations can be improved

But the risk they run is if they previewed something that will be coming up later in the show that you were really interested in, but the TSV "infomercial" took so long you lost interest and didn't stick around to hear about the item you really liked and may have purchased....there goes a potential sale

I'd add that given financial reports, maybe they need to move beyond that Intro to Marketing course. For myself, I regularly turn off when the presentations go on for too long, which is almost always, even for the most mundane of products shown regularly like, well, most of them lately,

If viewers are just channel surfing during a commercial while watching sports or another program and thats the only item they will see on a sustained sales pitch, and if that item is of no interest what did they gain by highlighting one item.....if there are a variety of items may be there would be one that will resonate with a potential buyer.....🤔

The boring things are always an hour-long presentation (tech, mattresses, vaccuums, appliances).

TOTALLY agree!! And just imagine the poor host who needs to talk about ONE item for an hour. Crazy and BORING!!! I find that some times HSN spends way too much time on one product as well...I just change the channel.
