Inside Scoop - QVC

Kachina624 — Mon, 12 Mar 2018 06:20:18 GMT

Want to know what's going on behind the scenes at QVC? There are some interesting tidbits here if you've got the patience to dig them out. My personal favorite is how delighted the QVC customers are with the way things have been going. I must have missed something.

@Kachina624 I hope you are in the mood for sermons.....(really.....one of the hosts droned on for 20 minutes)......I had to switch to a repeat of the news.)

@Desertdi. I'm really not a big fan of sermons. I thought JTV was bad during prime time. Sounds like it goes downhill.

I never lay my head down a single night without at least a little bit.

I exercise daily for Blue Bell @LTT1

Right now I am on a vanilla bean addiction and yesterday crushed up some Tagalongs Girl Scout cookies and mixed in with about half a container of the BB. Sitting in my freezer now waiting on me for another bowl tonight.

Believe me when BB was on its hiatus a couple of years ago here in Texas I got to know Ben and Jerry very well. There dairy free Peanut Butter Oreo cookie is unbelievable @goldensrbest.

@Kachina624

That press release is funnier than most sitcoms today.....

This performance demonstrates our ability to curate compelling products and events, create engaging customer experiences and aggregate large shopping audiences across multiple commerce platforms," said QVC President and CEO, Mike George.

We are extremely well positioned as we distinguish ourselves from other retailers by combining the best of retail, media and social."

And did you notice ....For the year 2017 QVC USA's revenue overall had a 0 % increase.. QVC was saved by its International branch bringing a total for 2017 to 6%....

Now Zulilly (whose financials are totally separate) had a good year with 5% increase in sales and a net revenue increase for 2017 of 11%

HSN Q's parent company, Liberty Interactive, already owned 38% purchased the 62% remaining stocks to buy the entire company. HSN had an overall decline in sales in all categories. For the year the decline was 8% primarily driven by product mix shift away from electronics. I wish QVC would shift away from electronics especially on weekends

With Blue Bell being recalled a couple times I would not touch the stuff sure to give nightmares........

But I do like Ice Cream....I love the Blue Bunny, Bunny Tracks-caramel, chocolate chunks, and vanilla---

@beckyb1012. Thanks! I've been checking all weekend to determine if it's arrived at my neighborhood Wal-Mart. It was even on our local news this weekend. Very exciting. I've got the freezer cleaned out and am ready.

@Spurt. Did you read several months ago that it was determined the Listeria bacteria came from one of the vendors BB used to get "add in" ingredients? Can't remember exactly which one. I'd take my chances with them any day. I've tried all the other brands and nothing else measures up.

The "corporate speak" they use on reports and press releases boggles the mind. Talk about the use of imagination. They can make unfavorable figures sound like a wonderful thing. It sounds like Mikey will be in charge (CEO) of the retail stores including HSN. I bet those coupons and free shipping will soon cease.

I am going home to Houston next month to see my family and will stop at HEB before I even get to my brother’s house to get some Blue Bell! I hope the Peaches & Homemeade Vanilla will be there. If not, it’s Vanilla Bean for me!

@SurferWife. Peach is probably a seasonal flavor and they're in season in late summer but there are other great flavors. Try some coffee with chocolate sauce.
