Have you ever wondered who does the programing????

mosky — Mon, 06 Nov 2017 15:54:08 GMT

Perhaps its working,however it isn't working for me.Today there are 8 shows,featuring Cuddleduds.Are they such a hot item that ALL ythe customers watching want them? Out of 15 programs they are featured 8,yes 8 times,Again...if it works for many,than I guess QVC sales are rising.But I am sorry to say my purchases have slowed to a crawl.What happened to the QVC I used to know??

Not everybody tunes in to QVC at the same time as you do.

People view the channel at different times, and therefore, to reach the maximum number of viewers, and customers, they air the TSV often.

It's a good thing there are other shopping channels.

I find myself watching Q less & less.

IMO, it's an unkept look. The vendor last night sure looked like she was dressed in her old house clothes.

@mosky

I agree with you....QVC has become an infommercial for Cuddleduds......everytime I tune to QVC, or am channel flipping there they are....and I grab my remote and go on to something else....But you just have to wonder what QVC is thinking......or maybe thats the problem they ARENT THINKING!!! Come on QVC ...VARIETY is needed!

@mosky. Haven't you figured out by now that this is how TSVs work these days? They repeat them endlessly every other hour until the audience runs screaming from the room. Did you add up the time Vitamix was on yeserday? Would you have thought there were that many potential buyers panting to purchase a $400. blender?

I watched a little bit of the show this morning with Carolyn Gracie as host. I want to say that they had sold 72,000 + pairs I heard mention. My point being is that there is obviously an audience for it.

NOPE! I have never thought twice about it.

And everytime I take a peek to see what's on QVC it's those darn Krinkle Express get bags.....boy they must have a warehouse full of those that just arent moving.......

And I think I discovered who is doing the programming...

It seems to me they recycle shows and vendors that bring in the most profit. No real planning required. I rarely watch. Boring

Awful programming...especially the XMas garbage.

With the selling model they've been using for years, I'm amazed they aren't losing customes in droves. Astounds me actually.

Pretty sure it's this!

@icezeus I’m not sure I’d trust their stated number of sales of any item. It’s a sales gimmick as in “ get yours now before it sells out”. Funny how items selling out at midnight presentations are still available the following evening at 11:30PM.

@Shanus

Let's agree to disagree. I look at the situation through a Sr. Buyer and an MRP system angle that explains why items are available the next day even after having sold out the day before.

I think the programming is done by a very lazy person who is not much interested in variety or what people like to see. And not just Christmas time, all year long. I have nothing good to say about programming on all three channels.
