InsideQ Change

GAC65 — Sat, 16 Dec 2017 14:52:56 GMT

Do not mind the change to the InsideQ magazine, although I am disapointed that they did away with the original format. Now we will not get previews of upcoming TSV's, which for me was something I looked forward too! Knowing me I most likely will not take the time to look at this new format!

Inside Q never showed previews of TSV's. The INSIDER showed TSV's and presales. Two totally different magazines.

@wingnut. Hmm. I'm looking at the December issue of the paper magazine. Mine is titled "Inside Q".

@wingnut, I subscribed back in the day when it was called Insider. A few years ago the name was changed to Inside Q. The Inside Q does show upcoming TSV's.

@GAC65, I know what you mean. I feel like I will miss a lot of the TSV's because I won't have the hard copy in my hand.

It doesn't appear the new digital version will have TSVs. That was the best part of the magazine.

Half the time I won't know what the TSV is since I don't even check every day. It was nice knowing at least what some of them would be before hand.

I guess it will save a lot of people some money.

I don't even know what the TSV is today. LOL!!!

I don’t think what pre-sale TSVs that will be featured are going to be in the Inside Q part of the website. I think they will continue on the main page like they are now, well, after you click through to them, that is. And I think they will only be offered a few days early, not weeks, like in the print magazine.

In addition to the expense of the print version, it was causing a lot problems otherwise. Late schedule and product changes were not able to be included and people got mad that what was in the magazine was not what finally got on air. And the fact that only some and not all people were getting the magazine and email link also was causing a lot of frustration and ill feelings.

With all the issues InsideQ posed, I still believe QVC is way better off having it. My husband and I would plan in advance and wait to purchase items from QVC rather than from other retailers when we knew they would offer something we needed or wanted. That applies to many here.

Now, that won't happen. I've made many purchases due to seeing items in the magazine. It kept QVC on my radar. I strongly believe they can just offer the online link version instead of scrapping the whole thing to this new version. They can offer TSV previews and allow presales maybe with a smaller window like 2 weeks in advance so they have enough time to finalize the information.

The TSV presales were a huge plus for the Q and its customers. I don't see how limiting sales helps. I don't have the time to check for the TSV every day nor do I want to anymore.

I am very disappointed that they cancelled the magazine. I checked out the one online and did not like it at all. I won't be going back. QVC made a big mistake by cancelling it.

I've never known QVC to have a TSV that was so exciting I felt I must have it immediately and couldn't wait for the presentation. Actually the offerings are exceptionally predictable. You pretty much know when a vendor will have a TSV and what its likely to be. Yawn. 😴

I enjoyed the print version and never liked the e-version. I would share it with my mother, and we would pour over the schedule, read the articles, etc. Since this is gone, I won't be looking at the on-line one. The Q got rid of another good item. When will it stop?

I cannot seem to get either version or its notification no matter how many times I ask, so I guess no loss for me. I was subscribed to the magazine way, way back, it problems began about a year in and never got resolved.

I will also miss the InsideQ magazine. I like to read about an item I'm thinking about or jot down notes. There are some things that don't work via computer and this is definitely one of them. Sign me up on the complaint list!!

All I have to say that it SUCKS!!!! Bring back the old one. I like it seeing what some of the upcoming TSV were going to be and start saving if I like one or two. Very unhappy with this new one.

I received a letter telling me about the changes. It will tell you all about your favorite hosts, guests and brands. Now you will get that inside look at the heart of QVC without having to wait for the magazine or an email to arrive.

Our new digital experience will give you more current, timely content about the QVC you've always loved. It's not an online cata!og, it's so much more (a real experience! ).

The current buzz around the building--videos and stories that bring you up close and personal to all things Q.

Who's who at the Q--join the inner circle of our hosts, on-air guests and models.

Shop talk - why we bought it and why you need it.

Basically, we have found a way to cut costs and frustrate our customers. This sounds like the end of an era.

I don't like the new format at all. Wish QVC would've left it as iet was. I'm not going to bother booting up for this.

Mizzkris2 — Mon, 18 Dec 2017 18:51:55 GMT

I am in agreement with everybody. I like the idea that QVC is going online with their magazine however I like the old format. I too like to be able to plan my purchases ahead of time. They could have kept the old format but published an online only version. Instead they took away what most loyal customers used to their advantage, an inside look into the future programming of QVC and the TSVs. I am very disappointed. It may save me a lot of money however LOL

I looked at InsideQ only for the previews of TSVs and other items. I never liked the articles as they were pretty self-serving, (which is expected/natural since they made it.

It’s been the only part of the magazine that 90% of subscribers were interested in. Without the ability to advance order TSVs, there’s no real point to producing anything monthly.
