Makes Me Laugh When...

A host yells up to the producer to order one for me. Do you really think the producer has access to their credit card info. I doubt it. If they do, that's kind of scarey.

I think it's just another silly sales tactic. If the host wants it, we must need it too.

Totally agree with that. They can order before and after, but it is the sense of urgency they're trying to hand down to the buyer, and if you relate to that host and want to be just like your host friend, you want one if they get one. That is a double whammy.

Another reason why I do not watch QVC silly sales tactics like these.

If they have any hope of being believed, it would seem more plausible when a couple of them say they hope their color is left so they can get it when they're off the show. Even then, probably a sales tactic.

Doesn't bother me or make me hurry and order. They can have my xxxs.

I laugh because they sound ridiculous and desperate to make a sale to me. A lot of times it seems they "want" the ones that don't seem to be selling. Just a silly sales tactic that comes across as insincere. They want you to think they love, love, love everything they are selling. Even if it was true, it seems bad form, as they are there to sell to the viewer and give the viewer all the details they need in order to make a purchase. Let them shop on their personal time,

Whenever they say that, it makes me laugh. I think it means that color or the item isn't selling. I think the same thing when they say "this is my favorite color" -- they have a ton of this color because no one is buying it. That's the price of using a sales tactic. People stop believing anything you say.

Their card is on file just as ours is, however, I doubt the producer has their password.

If the producer is too lazy to flash the garment measurments on the screen, there is no way they are ordering anything for those hosts. Sales tactic and they must think the customer is stupid.

It's probably on file and hosts give their passwords to staff, probably

I see the hosts all bundled up in colder weather attire. I understand the marketing thing, but I had to change channel just because I was sweating looking at them. But then come early February we will be graced with certain hosts bearing their arms and shoulders, prancing in their open shoes. Could they consider toning it down a bit? And if they are really dressing to promote their merchandise, I can't help but wonder why certain hosts rarely wear Q clothing. Just laughing and wondering..

Do the hosts really think we all fell off a turnip truck to believe that sales pitch!

Yes. And if they didn't think that some are so vulnerable to such tactics or so easily exploited, they wouldn't employ that sales pitch.

Same in other arenas.

That sales pitch is so stale too. On the one hand QVC sells stuff to protect your credit card from identity theft and then on the other hand the host is giving access to their own credit card info to a producer? I don't think so either.
