QVC sales down without Lisa Robertson

JONNYSBRO — Thu, 09 Mar 2017 17:08:05 GMT

QVC has had more bad news its hitting severe losses in sales. 3 to 4 years ago it was through the roof. Lisa exit drove a dent in their sales. She had that amazing ability to create excitement around product. She was the queen of QVC as everyone of her hours were bombarded with sell outs. QVC lost their CASH cow.

@DrKelli @I am still oxox-----------I agree with you both. It's like beating the same old same old over and over and over again. It's a dead subject. Please lets move on and get over it. It would be like me bringing up Kathy Levine day in and day out after 17 years. OUCH. Everyone has their hay day.

Yes, but each time you respond your are enabling and encouraging continued posts. Why not just "let it go."

Stop being ridiculous. Everyone knows the reason QVC is having problems is because Courtney Cason has been moved almost exclusively to Q+ and/or Beauty IQ and not as many people get those 2 channels so they aren't watching which means they aren't ordering.

Sales may be down but I think it has more to do with product variety and prices/shipping more so than LR's exit. QVC has welcomed thousands upon thousands of new customers who have never even heard of LR.

I think that the problem QVC has is that it repeats the same products over and over. Years ago, the Q had more diversity in their product line, and now it seems we see Argon Oil, Susan Graver, Vionics, etc. all the time. They have to go out and find new products - new high-end clothing lines and other items. It is just the same old all the time now and it gets boring!

I think that the reason QVC sales could be "down" is due to competitive on-line stores that offer free shipping, overnight or two-day free shipping. Also, the department stores that entice consumers with coupons, cash back and bonus buys (w/o shipping, of course) could attribute to sales being down. I can purchase some great quality clothes and shoes at crazy low prices once my coupons are included at high-end stores. Plus, the ULTA and Sephora stores offer much of the same beauty products........w/o the shipping.

As my stats prof used to say, "Correlation is not causation." In other words, just because two things happen at the same time does not mean one event caused the other. For example, 2016 was the warmest year on record. That was not caused by Lisa's leaving QVC. Retail is hurting. Whether at the mall or in TV, there are problems.

It's not brain surgery to look at what they are selling and obviously their target audience. I'm their target audience. I'm a little older than most (70). My guess is most are (not all, don't get your panties twisted) around 50 to on up. Many are retired or close to retirement. They lead a casual life style and like simple uncomplicated clothes (Denim and Co and Quacker Factory, Susan Graver).

But when you are old(er) and your life style is casual and you have no need for 'work' clothes you don't buy as much and they clothes are EXPECTED to be less expensive. (Am I getting close)?

I still like to look at and buy nice clothes (Louis Dell'Olio is one of the few that maybe crosses over). I am sooo bored looking at the same clothes by the same manufacturers (I wouldn't think they are true designers except maybe Louis).

I enjoy Susan Graver's enthusiasm, but even she often seems surprised at clothes she's (suposedly) designed. They are just manufactured. I think that's one reason we can't EVER get a Louis Dell'Olio TSV.

I remember in 'the old days" there were so many REAL designers that came on the Q, it was fun to watch, whether or not one was buying or even intended to buy.

I'd often watch and buy something because it looked so good on the model.

You know I think QVC has forgotten a sales mantra. You need to try to sell a life-style. You need to make ladies (even those who are very practical and retired) think if they buy that RED shoe, just maybe they'll look like the model.

PLEASE QVC, show us more variation. You need to draw in a younger crowd. Until you do, I'm convinced your sales are going to continue to drop.

Good grief! In other areas you are better (not great, just better). You've convinced me I need another George Foreman stand up grill. Why do I say ANOTHER one? Because last year I bought one and when my friend saw it (never used) she asked if she could have it.....I said 'sure'. Then you sell it again this year and ......well you guess it...I have another (even red, again) sitting in the box ready if I want a grilled hamburger.

The stupid thing about me buying this is I eat out 4 to 5 times a week (every week). So why not put this kind of sell (variation, etc) in your clothing line....please?

Lisa Robertson was a great host, but she has left the company. I think ALL posts that mention Lisa R. should be deleted immediately.
