GILI REP BUYS 40 CLUTCH BAGS THAT ARE ON SALE!

californiadreaming — Tue, 18 Jul 2017 01:48:48 GMT

There was a great markdown on one of the GILI clutch pouches today! There were 3 colors left & the best one was a woven cognac leather. The other 2 were camo--not as nice! The QVC Host announced that we better hurry up & get them at this great price! Jill Martin announces that she has just purchased 40 of these bags for holiday presents (at this great price) that she will give out this year! Of course, the best one-the woven cognac leather one sold out in seconds!

I thought that QVC personnel were not suppose to make purchases until after the airing so that customers would have a chance? Am I wrong? Has the policy changed?

Wow! Regardless of the actual policy, that was a really stupid thing to say on air.

I haven't been watching, but it doesn't surprise me she would do something that tacky. Buying one, O.K., I'd forgive her. But, 40? Are you positive you heard things right. Lord, who the heck is on her Christmas list? LOL

She must have bought all the Cognac. I got online to order & when trying to process order it came up & said it was sold out. I passed on the camo colors.

It might not be against Qvc's policy but it was awfully selish and "let them eat cakeish" for her to say that on tv. What the heck was she thinking?

If somebody gave me one of those ugly camo bags, I'd give it back.

WHen the host tells someone, anyone to order whatever she is selling or she has to get to her Ipad to order or she just ordered x amount to give as gifts, this is all to make us purchase, because if the host orders then we must have the same things.

Don't walk, RUN to your phone right now before I get all of them.

There is no policy saying hosts or vendors are not allowed to purchase products. Jill is a vendor, not a QVC personnel. It's first come, first served.

Yes, @makena, but she has an unfair advantage.

Actually, Qvc owns the Gili brand and Jill is just the presenter and face of the brand. So, she is a Qvc employee, just like the hosts. The issue isn't whether or not she was allowed to buy 40 of something or 1000 of something. The issue is the optics, as they say. It doesn't come across well and it doesn't reflect well on Jill if she gives the impression that's she's scooping up limited items. Especially an item that she's in the process of selling.

I take EVERYTHING the vendors and sales people say with a GRAIN of SALT, whose to say this is not just a sales tactic. Unless I am at her home to confirm delivery, I believe half of what "THEY" Say.

I'm sure they use many sales gimmicks that we aren't even aware of...

When you really think about it, how many people even buy 40 GIFTS at all??? If I was buying that many gifts why would I give everyone the same item.

I don't believe her for one secondo.

Like when they are selling a tee, etc. and it comes in several colors. First they say you need XX color--the color of the year. Then if it is low or gone, they say you need a neutral so get the black or white. You always need a new white tee. Selling is their business.

Exactly. It's just a ploy. Carolyn Gracie uses it all the time...e.g., I hope they have my size before it sells out, etc. I remember one time Gary/D&C said to her: don't worry. I can get you anything you want. She was: ah ah okay. I loved it.

just a sales tactic....she may not have bought any. If it increases getting rid of the old bags from inventory QVC could care less what she says.
