Part of Pat's intro for the guest was that "she is a mom". I genuinely don't understand why that is relevant to the sales of the clips. Along the same lines I hear "She is a busy mom", or "I am a busy mom" or "mom extraordinaire" etc. etc. (By the way, I am not just calling Pat out, SEVERAL hosts say this same thing.)</P> <P>Is being a "busy mom" supposed to evoke some sort of special feeling that will make me want to buy? </P> <P>I don't hear vendors who are "busy dad's" or "No kids, but I have a husband/wife!" or maybe "I'm not a mom yet but we are trying, so buy my stuff! lol Why pass over those categories? </P> <P>Anybody know why being a 'busy mom' is so heavily touted on QVC? My assumption for replies -if any!- will be that the vast majority of viewers are women. For me, that doesn't answer the question. I am a woman, and the hosts/vendors personal lives do not impact my buying.</P> <P>Iminthesouthwest (soon to be Iminthesoutheast! <IMG src="http://community.qvc.com/DesktopModules/ExactTarget/Controls/TextEditor/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/thumbup.gif" alt="{#emotions_dlg.thumbup}" />)</P> Wed, 17 Apr 2013 16:03:52 GMT iminthesouthwest 2013-04-17T16:03:52Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Q-Talk/MOM/m-p/317901#M3842 <P>This probably has discussed before, but I have not seen it.
