Order me a pair......I want two.....

chiclet — Sun, 18 Feb 2018 11:45:06 GMT

I am sure the hosts review what is in their show beforehand and yet they do the dramatic " Bill order me these in an 8...no I want two pairs blah blah blah. Do they really think we will then order a pair because they did. I can see them saying "I saw these and ordered the black etc.".

@chiclet,

Almost all seem to do that, a sales tactic! I agree with you, most people I hope would not order just because a host did!

Yet they are constantly saying they cannot order until after the show to keep the inventory for the customers...........Yeah right.

Due to this specific behavior. I was so turned off by the specific hosts behavior that I can't stand watching them any more. Ironically it was most likely an action that was started as a "sales" technique but had the opposite effect on me!

I imagine they think one of 2 things:

"Hey, I'm such a good salesperson I've talked myself into buying it"

"When I first looked at this, I thought it was garbage, but now that I'm up close....Bill/Bob/Jack..can you order me 15 of these in a size way too small for me?"

Then I change the channel and get on with my life...

To me, it just shows how bad QVC has become. I remember when hosts used to say that they couldn't order in advance and they sure didn't pretend to order while on air. It's nothing but a tacky sales tactic. Lol, they always seem to want/push the colors/selection that doesn't seem to be selling the most. Personally, what someones else has (or says they have) doesn't make me feel like I want something too. I know what I want and like.

I remember that too! The hosts always said they had to order after the show so the customers could order first! Now, the hosts are constantly calling out order me blah, blah, blah. How things change. L

@BeingKindIsEasy When I hear that phrase, I immediately turn off the Q. I find it offensive in that it is so obviously a sales tactic, I am insulted that it is used. I like other sales tactics such as, "here are the measurements, here are the colors, see how it fits the models".....all of these logical and common sense ways to promote a product.

And don't forget they all have whatever it is at home. I really like Mary Beth, but she must have huge bedrooms. She outfitted each one with bodypedic beds, and then later with sleep number beds. I guess you have your choice, which one tonight? And the one bed is that $5,000.00 King size motorized Split bed from Sleep Number. They can vouch that every product is great because it's in their home. The fashion ladies each have one in every color, but they are waiting for new colors to be coming out. And, then there are all those purses they have. I want to go to their houses for their garage sales.

I have to laugh whenever they are ordering on air. I imagine that the producer is talking is talking in their ear that "sales are slow on the black and gray colors".... use the "order me one of each" sales tactic.

Another one I have to laugh at is when they tell you where you can wear the stuff. These shoes are good for baby showers, rehearsal dinners, Easter, Passover Dinner, worship services, engagement parties and you can even walk the dog in them!"

I sure have but I've been shopping since 89.... I remember Kathy Levine saying it specifically but that was a long time ago and who knows, maybe that "rule" no longer exists?

@shopperqvc- Maybe Mary Beth has a House of Beds, with a different bed in each room. You made me laugh out loud!
